Grace won a year long free ice cream cone with her fully punched card and spin at the wheel. She has enjoyed the weekly visit to try their new flavorings when they come out. Her favorite is “What the wind blew in” which was named so appropriately considering our weather this winter. The staff have always been very friendly. There have always been many kinds of flavors to choose from so it has been a delight to stop in. Thank you Big Dipper!

I visited the Big Dipper today. It’s been awhile since I had been in. I figured I’d get my usual. But I ended up with the Gingerbread Man.

I can’t even fully process everything I felt with each spoonful.

The ice cream was so smooth and tasted like a trip to grandmas house. Sledding down the hill in a toboggan. Listening to the fire snap and crackle.

It was a trip down memory lane that I will be making again very soon!

I recommend Big Dipper to everyone who loves homemade ice cream!
Recently I took a group of 16 into the Clock Tower location. I was a little nervous about how long it would take us all to get through the line! The crew that evening were AMAZING.
All 16 of us were served in a very short amount of time! And the ice cream was DELICIOUS as always.
