Who doesn't love a dipped cone? Find the person and show them to me. I don't believe they exist. For my money, this is an all time S tier dessert. Dip-Top provides a pretty classic experience with many flavors of dip, adequate soft serve, and a vibe that takes you back more than a few years. read more

This is your standard small ice cream shop. The interior is tiny with no seating but there are a few benches outside. The service is always fast and friendly. There is hard serve, soft serve and pre made treats like cakes and sandwiches available. The pineapple and cherry dole whip were delicious and flavorful. They both had the creamy texture of ice cream even though it's non dairy! read more

Dip-Top - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Orange, Connecticut

I liked Dip-Top so much I visited twice while I was in Orange. Dip-Top has soft-serve, hard-serve and prepared items such as cakes and ice cream sandwiches. Prices are very reasonable for the serving sizes. Employees were very friendly and service was efficient. The interior is small with no seating. There are benches outside on a grassy area. I believe my first visit was on the last day of school and there were many moms with their kids, everyone was having fun and enjoying their ice cream treats. I recommend a visit to Dip-Top when in the area. read more

When did become the norm for businesses' staff to not say thank you? Yet, they still have a a tip jar out. Sorry but without saying thank you, I'm not giving you a tip. This includes getting told to "have a good one" and "here you go". They're not thank yous for coming to my business and helping me pay my salary. read more

I have been going there for years and they had the best mint chocolate chip ice cream around. The ice cream was really good and the chocolate chips were delicious chocolate chucks. I went there today for the first time this year. The ice cream was good but the chips are now very small chocolate kiss shaped somethings that won't melt, need to be chewed and crackle and pop when you do. Very disappointing. read more

Went here during the summer and it was one of the best ice cream been to. A to. Of flavors and decorations. They had a ton of toppings that you could also put on your ice cream. Everyone working there was nice and I had a great time. Also, if you get a cake there it may be a little bit pricy. 5 Stars. read more

Dip top is your standard ice cream place, walk in, get ice cream, and go outside to enjoy it! The service is delectable not to mention their wide range of flavors, soft serve, dip, and many flavors of hard ice cream that if I were to list I would still be writing tomorrow! As there is no seating inside, you really have to depend on the weather to have a good vibe while enjoying your ice cream, but nevertheless they have very nice benches outside on their own private little lawn, with a generous amount of garbage cans you'll hands with never get drenched in melted ice cream if you do dare to throw away the delicacy that is dip top ice cream! read more

I guess I'm too jaded when it comes to ice cream parlors. I was expecting more from this place, big let down. The ice cream tasted generic and the presentation of it looked displeasing. Cold Stone is a better option the block. read more

I went on the Dip Top website to get some prices for the small& medium cakes. The small were $10.99 & the med. was $18.99, but, what a surprise when I got to the store, very disappointed the prices were higher than I expected. The small cake was $16.99 & the med. cake was $18.99, I understand that prices went up everywhere, but, it should have been updated on the website. Needless to say, I had to buy the small cake for my grandson's birthday because, I was not prepared for the price increase. Very Disappointed Grandma Phyllis - Pmohd85@aol.com read more

I finally stopped in after many years of seeing this place driving by. We just happened to be down the road when we felt we needed a treat, and I remembered Dip-Top. The space is cozy, even with no other customers in the shop, but they offered a good selection of hard ice creams as well as a few soft-serve, plus Dole Whip which was a nice surprise. There was an overall Baskin-Robbins vibe. I did not sample my daughter's hard strawberry ice cream, but she gave it good marks despite the bright pink coloring (I noticed the bright green in their pistashio as well). I got the pineapple Dole and it was as tasty as ever and a huge portion. Prices were decent so overall it was a good value. I don't think I'd go out of my way to go back, but I'd definitely stop in if I'm in the area when the mood strikes. read more

Love this place! Everyone is here on a summers eve ready to chat about the game and celebrate with a sweet treat! We stopped in right before it got crazy with kids and each got some soft serve. Fast efficient serve, staff was ready to move some cones! I got a cone with vanilla soft serve and rainbow sprinkles. My family got the twist with fudge. All were delicious! Highly recommend stopping in for a treat as long as you beat the crowds before dusk! read more

Dip-Top - Cotton candy cherry dip - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Orange, Connecticut

The absolute best soft serve anywhere. The cones are always fresh and crispy. Not sure why, but even the chocolate sprinkles are incredible here. I've tried several of the hard ice creams as well but a sugar cone twist with sprinkles is my favorite. read more

This place is really amazing. Best choice of ice creams. I just wish there was some seating to sit and enjoy a cone.

With kids with severe food allergies, I am over the moon to find an ice cream shop that has a dairy-free machine. No risk of cross contamination, no using the same scoop for the dairy ice cream and the dairy-free ice cream, etc. (As a future suggestion, would love to see some dedicated allergy-friendly toppings set aside for the nut-free, dairy-free set. Otherwise I'm happy to continue bringing a jar of sprinkles along with me!) read more

I Love Dip Top! There is a road side ice cream place in the town I grew up in that specializes in dip flavors and I have always loved the soft serve/dip combo So when I found Dip Top I was ecstatic, because most ice cream spots around here don't have anything of that sort- just the average hard ice cream, albeit with great flavor options. This place is great for dips, great for milkshakes and quick service---- yum. And they will do soft serve in a cup with dip on top (and will add extra if you ask nicely) which is nice for people like me who hate cones read more

I think there are 20 dip flavors to chose from but we weren't too original. There were 3 of us and our order was 3 large vanilla / chocolate swirls with chocolate peanut butter dip. They should call the large HUGE. But alas we ate em all. Every last bit of crunchy coated soft serve. My mission is sample all 20 dip flavors before Labor Day. As an added bonus the staff was super friendly. read more

A Boston Post Rd. legend in Orange. Esssentially, yes, it's just your typical soft-serve ice cream joint, but they have their shtick. They offer about a dozen flavors of dip for your ice cream cone. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm sure that "dip", whatever it actually is, is probably really bad for you. However, you cannot take away my chocolate soft-serve cone dipped in a cherry flavored shell. You just can't. I won't let you. Dip-top actually has gelato now as well, but, really, no need to fancy it up here. Artificial flavoring and red dye #6 never tasted so good. read more

We stopped on a lark on Labor Day. Never been and randomly discovered on Yelp. What a win! Balanced full flavored ice cream, just right, served by a helpful staff. Not cheap but good things often aren't. They have soft serve, regular ice cream and dole whip. And Carvel style ice cream sandwiches to go! We'll return for sure. read more

Judging from the lack of reviews here, Dip Top is seemingly not known to everyone. But it is right there on Boston Post Road for all to see and you should make the effort to check it out. This is some of the best soft serve ice cream around. It is actually very Carvel like- very smooth and creamy. You can get vanilla, chocolate or twist. They also have hard ice cream and yogurt. I can't really judge those items because I've never ordered them. For me, this place is all about the soft serve. They have a variety of dip choices for those soft serve cones or you can get a dish with either wet or candy toppings. Sundaes, shakes, smoothies and flurries are also menu options. Prices are fair for the portion you get. Look, ice cream is not hard to judge. It's either rave worthy or not. Dip Top definitely fits this category for their soft serve. To put it simply, if I'm in the area I always make the effort to stop at the Dip. I can't say that about a lot of the places I've visited. read more

I visited Dip Top with some friends a couple weeks back after we indulged in some sushi. We all wanted ice cream, and this was the only place close that was still open late on a Sunday night. The staff was very friendly upon walking in and allowed us to take our time when choosing. I normally don't go crazy with ice cream as I'm not a big eater of it in the colder months, but I opted for a soft vanilla with hot fudge and whipped cream. Boring, but hey it got the job done. The ice cream was delicious but the hot fudge was to die for. I've had the same combo at other places but for some reason this was even more delicious. I couldn't get enough of it. Everybody I was with enjoyed their ice cream, and even complained there was to much! The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because there is nowhere to sit inside. I don't remember if there was seating outside, but in the winter, I would rather sit inside then run outside to my car to eat ice cream. I'm sure in the summer people kind of sit around the parking lot and whatnot, but not an ideal place for the colder months. read more

Basically, the 4 star description says it all - I'm a fan. The dipped soft serve is the only thing I've ever had here, and it's a nice twist on traditional soft serve. It's a little messy to eat in a cone (presumably because the dip is warm when it first goes on, causing the ice cream to melt a little quicker than normal), but not a big deal. The only thing I can add is that they only had 6-7 or so dip flavors when I stopped in the other day, whereas some of the earlier reviews suggest they had a dozen or even 20 at one time. read more

I LOVE their Cappuccino Crunch ice cream. Its what I get each and every time we stop here, I never falter in my course! So, if you like coffee flavored ice creams, you gotta stop in and try their crunch!! Its filled with chunky, coffee, chocolaty pieces, mmmmm!!! read more

Been going there before the fire years ago, and stopped in again recently for a well needed ice cream. Their big thing is that you can choose to dip the soft serve into hardening chocolate which covers your ice cream in a crunchy chocolate coating. They have a nice selection of regular ice creams and toppings as well. Classic Orange spot with teenagers running the place. read more

You have never had a tongue-twisting-taste-bud-tantalizing flavor-induced-euphoria-summoning preposterously-pleasant-positively-perfect excruciatingly-excellent-ice-cream experience like this! I cannot possibly convey the cataclysmically cognitive creativity and humongously hilariously happiness that these wizards of wonderful wish-fulfillment have brought to my dessert palate in the form of a Boston shake. It was one of the most dynamically delicious things I have ever had the pleasure of cramming down my esophagus as fast and vigorously as my ravenous face would allow. 10/10 will be back again. read more

Went to get ice cream with my girlfriend and the girl working was beyond rude. It was such a turn off, we definitely will not be back. Great ice cream though. read more

My favorite ice cream place. We make sure to stop there for some ice cream when we are in the area. One of the standout things about this place is that an ice cream will not cost you $10. read more

Great place. Favorite ice cream they have is the black raspberry. Kinda small not a spot to sit and eat your ice cream but still a great place none the less. read more

had their soft serve, had their hard ice-cream, had the gelato. all are in the "pretty decent" range, by my favorite is still the chocolate/vanilla swirl dipped in chocolate. i think the first time i had diptop was 1976, and its still damn good. read more

Dip-Top - the outside of a restaurant at night - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Orange, Connecticut

Very enjoyable experience - if only there had just been a place to sit indoors to enjoy my dip-top. I had the chocolate-vanilla swirl with chocolate dip. A super treat! read more

A big fan of soft serve. After reading the reviews, I thought I needed to try this place. Ordered a large swirl (vanilla/chocolate twist) and felt like I could have spent my money somewhere else. The portions could have been bigger. First off, this soft serve is really good, but I would compare it more to custard ice cream. I was expecting a SOFT serve, but it was denser than I expected. The flavor is there though. Second, this place is pretty expensive. I stopped by here after my Trader Joe's run, but probably won't come back for more. Rating it 3 stars because of the price and portions. read more

Ice cream is very good and creamy but parking is not kid friendly, hence 3 stars. First time here so we are not as familiar with the area and don't live nearby. read more

I wanted to enjoy my ice cream with my family so I went to dip-top. But when we got there the costumer service was very poor as in they were giving attitude with no reason. I love their ice cream I would love it more if they got there manager to discipline them because I did not like the attitude my family and I got there. read more

My favorite place for soft serve ice cream with dip. Always great, service is as fast as possible.

It's a little corner ice cream shop that serve gelato, soft serve, sundaes, shakes and more. It's a little on the pricey side but I'm a real fan of soft serve dipped in bubblegum, mmm! read more

This is the best ice cream place I've been to yet! So good! The staff was super intelligent and kind. The workplace was super clean and overall, was a great experience! read more

I have been going here since I was a child, more often than I will admit, and it is by far the best! No other ice cream place compares! The Peanut Butter Carmel Cookie Dough hard ice cream is unlike any other! And after having Dip Top's soft serve ice cream, anywhere else tastes like water. Dip Top has been consistently great for many many years! And the owner Ron is one of the nicest people I have ever met! read more

Been going here for what has to be close to 20 years now. Back in the day, they had a window that you would walk up to and order from. Now obviously they have a modern store front. Still miss the old style ice cream shop, but can't complain about the new one either. This place is a key part of Orange CT and I am glad to see that they are still in business. read more

Great selection, nice staff, good ice cream. Can't dip a sugar cone so had to downgrade, that was upsetting and should be fixed. read more

First of all the ice cream here is the best you'll find in Connecticut. Second of all they have great customer service! Maddy was extremely helpful in explaining the flavors to me and knew exactly what she was talking about and offered me a sample! read more
