“I’ve been waiting to get Rip Rap Shake Shack for three years, and this past weekend was finally the time for it!!! We live super far away but I knew that once the opportunity presented itself, it was a must-see stop. I was amazed by the presentation of the ice cream that I got and the monster shake that my husband got. They looked absolutely amazing! Almost like a movie prop! The flavor was absolutely amazing, and I enjoyed every last bite! 10/10 would recommend if you’re in the Dayton area! Bring the kiddos too! Our toddler loved it!“

“Our Parent Teacher Organization, Greenon Knights PTO, had an event for 300+ students at 12:30pm. Kona Ice got there at 12:20pm & was up & ready to go as the students came out to enjoy their event. Kona Ice is a favorite & highly requested treat for our students. Once again, Kona Ice delivered and we will definitely have them back again!“

“I brought my youth cheerleading team here for our annual team ice cream party. We came around 745 on a Wednesday evening with approximately 40 people. One bill had 23 athletes on it!! The employees were professional, fast, and super well mannered. They handled our giant group like pros and we will for sure be back!!“

“Good little ice cream shop. The cookie sundae was yummy! Nice friendly service. Visiting from Indiana“

“love love love it!! definitely recommend! the employees & the ice cream are top of the line, can’t get any better🙃🍦 1 suggestion though: please please please go back to the old brownies…these new ones ain’t it😬“

“If you want the most rich and flavorful ice cream and gelato, come try theirs… it is the bomb and I hate to say it but puts Rita’s to shame. Their walking tacos, loaded fries are great. Some very interesting Mexican treats including mini pancakes covered in fresh fruit and sauce, ramen Mexican style, fresh fruit dishes, elote—corn on the cob smothered in mayo and cheese—try it! Super friendly place as well. I am looking forward to trying all the things that I have not mentioned that they offer. Check it out…“

“The customer service was great and they went above and beyond their duties loved it“

“the owner here is so sweet and considerate. I grew up walking to this one all the time in the summer and prefer this one out of any in the area just because of how friendly they are.“
