Wonderful old school ice cream shop. And they have so many great options for everyone. Vegan? Yes. Gluten free? Yes. Heavy dairy? Sure. The space evokes a gentler era. So does the service. Solid 5 stars. read more

Peppermint tastes like toothpaste. Threw it away. Vanilla and cookies and cream were meh

Still haven't missed a trip here when in Laramie! Oreo is my favorite. So creamy and delicious

Stopped in for a post lunch refreshment, not disappointed. I had a small bowl of their hazelnut ice cream. Amazing flavor not just hazelnuts in vanilla ice cream, but total hazelnut flavor. It was almost like what I had in France, so close, but excellent regardless. Smooth and creamy so worth the calories. In the past I've had their Trail Mix ice cream another one worth the calories. There flavors change and sometime depend on what is available can be a large selection or a smaller offering. This is a very child friendly parlor with seating inside and a bench outside. read more

Love it here!! Ice cream is always delicious. The staff is very friendly. Please support your local businesses!

Nice ice cream shoppe with 3 flavors of vegan ice cream- vanilla, creamsicle and pistachio. read more

Big Dipper Ice Cream - Vegan pistachio and vegan creamsicle. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Laramie, Wyoming

We arrived with a short line in downtown Laramie. The servers worked quick to satisfy our needs for ice cream on a Sunday afternoon. 2 cups of ice cream and a strawberry shake. It was really good! We were told it was best ice cream in Laramie -- big crowd and the workers handled it exceptionally! The line moved so quick as it was out the door. Will return when I visit Laramie again! read more

Big Dipper Ice Cream - Ice cream selections - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Laramie, Wyoming

Super cute little ice cream shop located in downtown Laramie. One of many additions I've seen since my last trip to my beloved hometown. The decor was simple but cute. I got a pistachio ice cream in a sugar cone. There is an assortment of flavors including gelatos, shakes and sorber. The ice cream was by far one of the best I ever had. It stood out from other ice creams because you could taste the creamyness and it was overpowered by extracts and food dyes. You'd have to try to understand. I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't voted the top ice cream spot in this little town. read more

Was not planning to get an ice cream until I passed by the Big Dipper and read the available flavors. The staff were very welcoming so I know I will get a scoop of ice cream even if it was not amazing. The flavors that caught my eyes were PB cookies dough and PB chocolate chip. I tasted both and went for the cookie dough mainly because they have delicious cookie dough pieces in the ice cream. The PB flavor was not as strong as I'm used to with Sweet Cow (in Colorado) so I might have already had high expectations. Overall a nice place to grab a treat and they have a lot of flavors so you will probably find one that you would like. Here is my rating: PB cookie dough: 8/10 read more

Sweet venue with an open floor plan, great staff, and yummy ice cream! The black raspberry with cherry truffles in it was great! Butterfinger ice cream was also good! Would recommend as a spot to sit and relax and enjoy the views of downtown. Reasonably priced and good selection! read more

One of my favorite places. Plenty of parking, good prices, never too crowded, plenty of options, can sample flavors ahead of time, a good view, and perfect for ice cream dates/ treating yourself. One of my favorites years ago was the cookie monster - blue vanilla ice cream with cookie pieces :) Always wanted to try one of the daily soups here. read more

Big Dipper Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Laramie, Wyoming

Love the decor of the shop. I tired the maple & bacon flavor ice cream and mango sorbet. Both were delicious.

Ice cream?!! Yes, please. Even though we were very full from a delicious meal, we found a way to squeeze in some ice cream. This was thicker and creamier than most so it was very satisfying. It's a good place to visit to try unusual flavors. We got peanut butter chip and shared. Go there--be happy --eat ice cream. read more

Not happy , gelato was too soft, taste Old, like it had been there a some time. Have not been in awhile to location in downtown , not sure what happened. read more

You have to try this place if you are ever in Laramie. It has a classic old school ice cream shop look. The best part is the owner makes Ice Cream, Sorbet, and Gelato fresh every morning. She is probably the nicest person you will ever meet. She listens to everyone, talk to everyone, and if you have an idea or a flavor you want to try she'll write it down, and 9 out of 10 times (with exceptions like having done it in the past or not having the season to do it) she'll test it out as a flavor of the day. Each flavor has exactly what is listed really in it. Red Hots: chunks of the candy. Black Berry: really plump black berries mixed into it. She changes flavors all the time, she every day is a surprise and an adventure in taste testing. For the size, the prices are amazing. $3.09 gets you one scoop. Most places that is small, here I can hardly finish that if I've eat dinner. It's a huge scoop, bigger than the container it is in by a lot. read more

They ice cream was amazing the owner was very nice. Thank you for the ice cream and having such a cute shop!

My daughter could not eat her chocolate ice cream since it tasted more like chocolate milk. The large size was nearly 10.00. Really? This is Laramie, WY, not Manhattan. My Rasberry w/ chocolate was delicious, though. So...3 stars...right down the middle. Nice location. Probably would not go back, because of the flavor risk, and prices. read more

$4.50 for a tiny cup and no frozen yogurt! Skimpy servings for ok ice cream does not make me a return customer. Think I'll try Dairy Queen next time. read more

Good selection, fresh tasting, and a cute interior. I'm glad Laramie has an ice cream spot!

I came here for the first and loved what I got. It was a little pricey but in the end it was worth it. I got an Oreo milkshake and it was great! The only thing I didn't really like, was that there was too much milk in there. Other that, it was great! Staff is super friendly and the store is really clean! read more

Downtown Laramie has shopping, restaurants and galleries that rival those in larger cities. Now they have a great ice cream parlor too. Different flavors every day as they make it all right there. Tables to eat in or take out while wandering the town. Milk shakes, sundaes and also some yogurt stuff for those inclined. Scoops were generous and service was friendly like they loved working there and why not? I would too. read more

Big Dipper Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Laramie, Wyoming

The flavors at Big Dipper are phenomenal and their seasonal flavors are to die for! I love the atmosphere in the shop and the old-timey ice cream parlor feel. The fresh ice cream was well worth the price--I've never tried a flavor I didn't love! The staff has always been pleasant with me and has made me feel so welcome in the little college town. I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves old-fashioned ice cream and wants a unique experience to accompany it. read more

The vanilla Heath bar ice cream I had was absolutely delicious. The prices are a bit shocking - the three scoop bowl was over $7 - but the kid sized was reasonably priced at $1.50 and was plenty for me. We will most definitely be back. read more

Big Dipper Ice Cream - Kid sized ($1.50) scoops of vanilla Heath bar and red orange ice cream. Yum! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Laramie, Wyoming

This is the best ice cream I have had in a long time. They must use the highest quality ingredients - you can taste the goodness. Between me and my hubby we had the Chocolate cherry, chocolate Heath, espresso chip, and caramel apple strudel. Divine! The place is super cute and cozy too - just like an old fashioned ice cream shoppe. They have a large selection of ice cream flavors along with sorbets. read more

$7 for two scoops of ice cream?... I'm with one of the previous reviewers - this is Laramie, not Manhattan. The ice cream is hit or miss, either delicious or chalky and weird. read more

Really bland tasting ice cream. Atmosphere is ok and the servers are nice. Shocked at how bad the ice cream tasted. The worst salted Carmel I've had. read more

I am from out of town, stopped in for a treat. Great ice-cream, but I would like to be greeted with a smile. The young ladies who worked there didn't seem upbeat or happy. Ice-cream shops should be a happy place with happy, friendly and smiling employees. Otherwise great place. read more

Triple Scoop of Cookie Dough, that had big chunks of Cookies and Dough in it. Shop Local and Buy Local. Totally worth it. read more

Heck yea it was good! And certainly was a bigggg dipper scoop. The Peanut butter chunk and chocolate Ice cream was so good.

Way overpriced for run-of-the-mill ice cream. I'd rather go to Dairy Queen. I appreciate the support of local high school that's about it.

As far as Ice cream goes the quality didn't blow my mind. It certainly wasn't subpar, but nothing to rave about. I really wish there were more selections in terms of ice cream choices, toppings, and cones. read more

Found this place through Yelp! Would not have found it otherwise! On my way through from San Diego!Great atmosphere, service with a smile and the ice cream is amazing!! I was hesitant with the chocolate and peanut butter as I like chunks of peanut butter in mine but ordered it anyways and it is delicious! read more

If you want great ice cream, and the best milkshakes, this is your place! They feature an ever changing slew of flavours, and will offer a sample of something if you're interested but don't want to shell out the money for their itty bitty size. (okay, the tiny cup size thing is ridiculous, it's like a quarter of a scoop, who buys those??) I'm good with the small, it's one scoop, and that'll cost you 3.50. On the other scale of things, my husband will order their large milkshake, and that's 7.50. When I say large, I MEAN large! It's enough for 3 people! (of course he'll let me have a sip but the rest is his!) brown and gold, I think is a signature flavour around Laramie, as it's the Cowboy's colours, and chocolate and vanilla together, and not that wussy vanilla either, this is yellow extra creamy vanilla! If you go in and aren't sure of the exotic flavours, this one's a sure bet! Everything is made fresh daily, so you're getting the best of the best, it's one indulgence I can say go for! read more

I read ab this place and although we are from Kansas, we were traveling to Wyoming so decided to stop. The 3 of us had different types and all were basically vanilla ice cream with different mix ins. Disappointing. Sylas and Maddie's in KC and Lawrence,KS is So much better. No comparison! read more

Great selection of ice-cream in so many flavors and it is homemade! It was creamy without being overly rich in fat and not overly sweet. 1 sundae, 2 double-scooped cups, 2 single-scoop cups, about $27. Eek! The ice cream is so delicious and perfect but if your finances are tight, go to Sonic. I hope they stay in business with these prices. read more

Coming from the land of "artisinal" this and what have you, it was nice to find a local ice cream store that has a great selection of basic flavors done really well and some more funky ones to match. They've got your basic ice cream, sorbet, and even some sugar-free options. The staff are really friendly and will let you taste your way across the case if you're feeling super indecisive (thanks guys!). The grapefruit and raspberry sorbets were killer. read more
