The coconut ice cream with chocolate chips and nuts was fantastic and the portion size was on point! My husband opted for the turtle cheesecake by the register and loved every bite. We will definitely stop in again if we're in the area.

The ambiance is lovely and quaint with a small shop up front. The restaurant menu had so many options for vegetarians and gluten free with an extensive tea selection also. I ended up ordering a glass of wine and the warm Brie and baguette appetizer which was absolutely divine!! The whole group loved it and I will be coming back if I pass along this way again.

The ice cream is Bridgemans which we love and ironically we were at their shop in Woodbury yesterday. Great quality ice cream. They have a huge patio area to enjoy your cool treats. They are also super close to the waterfront. One of the cool features is their color changing spoons they provide with their ice cream. The prices are very good compared to other ice cream shops! Welcome to the neighborhood!

I like Dipsy Ice Cream Shoppe - 4 stars!…read more Two of us checked out the new Dipsy after grabbing some food at San Pedro. It was the perfect way to top off a spicy meal on a hot summer day. Dipsy has multiple ice cream flavors and a plethora of shaved ice flavors. We ordered ice cream and it was great. It was nice to enjoy the flavors in the outdoor seating area, multiple picnic style tables in between Dipsy and the coffee shop. The two young women running the show were awesome! They were very friendly, funny, personable, and bubbling over with energy. This is a nice change. I've had many sketchy experiences at ice cream shops that were manned by grumpy, sour faced kids that want to be somewhere else. NOT at Dipsy though. The women were great representatives of the brand. I really like the design of the shop too. The bright color schemes are very cheery and they work great for this type of venue. I gave them 4 stars because I'm kinda skimpy with the places that I rate a top tier 5. For ice cream shops, I usually reserve the highest rating for the places that take it to another level and operate their own creamery in-house, making their own ice cream on-site. No disrespect to Dipsy though. They do a great job. Dipsy is a wonderful addition to the Hudson food scene. I wish them many years of success. Thumbs up! -Maxx

It did not disappoint! You can either go inside the house or order from the outside window, we stayed outside and loved it. There are plenty of places to sit and relax, and the whole setup feels like you're hanging out in someone's backyard. Super cute and laid-back, with extras like cornhole and photo areas that make it even more fun. There were so many options to choose from, but we landed on: 2 root beer floats, Ice cream nachos with cookie dough and caramel collision (so good!), 1 scoop of playdough ice cream. Everything was tasty, and the staff was friendly and patient while we made our picks. It was the perfect treat after a sunny day. The only downside and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was that we had a coupon but weren't allowed to use it or even apply the value toward our purchase. A little disappointing, especially since it was our first visit. That said, Mabel's has so much charm, and I'd love to come back to try the coffee next time. Definitely a spot worth visiting!

I've never had beer cheese soup so don't know if that's normal but I like the texture it gave to the soup. As for the sandwiches, I can see why they're both popular options! Great flavor!

My partner and I had no issues with service however the people next to us ended up leaving when their server forgot to put in their order. Mistakes happen and I wouldn't hold that against them.
