The Dip Ice Cream & More

The Dip is a step up from your average neighborhood ice cream spot because they have a DRIVE THRU. Super convenient and amazing for hot days when you don't want to leave the AC for your sweet treat. I went recently with my husband and we shared a soft serve slush float. It was a blue slush with vanilla ice cream. Too sweet for me, but my husband liked it (though he said he wished the slush would've been a bit more tart for some balance.) There are plenty of picnic tables and a large pavillion to stand under. There is also ample parking. Staff are friendly and work quickly.

Can't find anything to complain about. Great ice cream, food, and service. Always have clean tables and the area around it is clean. We really enjoy going to the dip

Very good ice cream! The service was very quick and friendly. I ordered the "Almond Joy Sundae" and it was delish! Ice cream reminded me of Dairy Queen, but homestyle quality. Very cute place to go talk and enjoy a sweet treat!

I am so obsessed with this place! They are so good in every way. They offer walk-up and drive-thru. Also, the staff are quick and friendly. They are always adding new flavors, and every one tastes great. You can't go wrong!

The best ice cream in Fairfield is at The Dip. It has many different flavors. They have Dole Whip. Isn't that all you need to know? They also take cards, it's not cash only. It has lots of flavors. Each month they change them. They make all kinds of creative specialties too. A Hurricane is their version of a Blizzard. This is ice cream mixed with candy. I had the lemon Dole Whip. This is $3 for the medium size. It was actually pretty big. They didn't skimp on this. It's something they're known to do. They are often inconsistent in sizes. It was nice to get what I paid for. They also have other flavors of sorbet. It's one of the nicer places for ice cream. It has a covered patio and seating. Very cool in hot weather.

Stumbled upon this place on Memorial Day and it was the perfect stop for a mid day treat. The workers were friendly and patient as we looked over the menu to figure out what we wanted. There are so many different flavor combinations and treats to choose from. After considering the shakes, smoothies, sundaes, cones and burgers, chips and hot dogs, we settled on a swirl cone with crunch coating, 2 chili cheese dogs and an apple dumpling sundae. All that for $12 was a pretty good deal! The apple dumpling sundae was warm and crunchy and at the same time cool and comforting. Highly recommend and suggest you ask for extra cinnamon if that flavor is what you are looking for in this item. The chili on the chili cheese dogs is a traditional flavor and not the sweeter and more liquid-y Cincinnati chili style just in case you expected that. I can't wait to come back here although it is quite far from where I live, if I was in the area I would return just to order the chai smoothie because that's an item I've never seen on any other ice cream stands menu and it sounded so delicious!

Try the caramel apple dumpling! Delish. We love the shakes, soft serve, even the food is good. It's easy to go there, order and eat. They have both walk up and drive through. I'd recommend going on a weekday, on the weekends, there are lines wrapped around for both walk up and drive through.

We all loved the The Dip. The flavors were vivid. There was so much of the flavoring in the flavorbursts, that it seemed to drip out from the sides. The Dole pineapple whip was as refreshing as a frosty cold glass of pineapple juice. Along with the posted menu flavors there were two special flavors. There is more that just frozen yogurt/ creamy whips here. There are shakes, frozen cheese cake and floats. I did not notice if they had hot foods. The service was polite, and friendly. Items were up quickly. There is both a walk up window, and a drive up widow. The parking lot is larger than many creamy whips I have been to. Picnic tables, chairs and a grass area are all available to eat at.The only thing keeping me from giving them 5 stars is the drastically inconsistent sizing. My small was smaller than two of my children's kid's cones. Another kid's cone was half the size of the other two kid's cones. Since that was the choice of the eldest child, it was very dissapointing for him. While we will probably visit again, if in the area, the inconsistencies in size were really noticable.

I would give The Dip six stars if I could! I grew up in Fairfield and every single time I go to The Dip I leave with a smile on my face. Their ice cream is delicious, their service is unmatched, and every single person who works there is so sweet and helpful. We've actually made it a tradition to get their banana splits every first day of summer :) I also HIGHLY recommend the PB Treat and the Black Cherry Flavorbursts. Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't give them a huge shout out for COMPLETELY saving my St. Patrick's Day today! To the woman with the St. Patrick's Day earrings who made us those delicious shamrock shakes, you went above and beyond! Thank you.

AMAZING ice cream! My go to is the Dole Orange & Vanilla twist! The workers are always so sweet and the service is always fast. They also have a drive-thru that is always movin'! If you're wanting to sit outside and enjoy your treat, they have picnic tables for families to sit, as well!
