A local spot for ice cream! Dippy's has a decent selection of ice cream and water ice options as well as candy and some food. Parking can be sparse during busy times, but service is quick. It is cash only, but there are plenty of signs reminding you before you order. During the winter, the indoor seating area has heat, so it's a good spot to go all year round. read more

Dippy's Custard & Ice Cream - Half of the menu - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Mantua, New Jersey

Always a summertime treat for our family- from a simple custard to a fun gelato- Dippy's never disappoints!

How do you run out of stuff at 1pm, on a Tuesday? You opened like 2 hours ago. Do you have M&Ms? No, we ran out. Ok....the sign says peaches and cream is back, I'll have that. Oh, you ran out. Wtf? This place is about as mid as it comes. When you CAN get a flavor, its ok. The building is a bit weathered, but not gross. They are cash only, but have an ATM on site. Meh. I definitely thought I wrote about this place before, but I guess I didn't really feel like wasting the time on such a middle of the road experience. In all fairness, I have been here quite a few times; my daughters drug of choice is chocolate ice cream, but every single time we've discussed getting ice cream, I've NEVER gone, "well, we should go to Dippy's." It's Ice Cream Love first, and Dot's second. We just often wind up here out of necessity, circumstance or laziness. Dippy's is running a distant third in the Ice Cream Wars of Deptford NJ. read more

Good place for ice cream. The line definitely gets long in the summer and the workers do seem pretty stressed when that happens, but they are still very kind. If you don't mind waiting they have a large variety of water ice and hand-scooped ice cream, as well as traditional vanilla/twist/chocolate soft-serve. read more

Great variety of hard and soft ice cream flavors. Liked my cone very much. Not a very long line or wait for service

Dippy's is the best around by far nice price and a generous dip great homemade ice cream

Dippy's is the only ice cream spot we visit. J doesn't even like ice cream, but he can't say no to Dippy's. The lines in the spring and summer speak for themselves. They do close for the winter season come January 1st *sigh*. Their flavors are fabulous and clearly homemade. My most recent favorite is their candy cane ice cream...nothing like biting into fresh chunks of candy canes to get you excited for the holiday season. J typically goes for their chocolate peanut butter or sometimes will go with an Oreo shake, neither you can go wrong with! They also allow you to create your own ice cream cakes and offer quarts to take with you- how can you say no to that?! read more

Summer time and the living is easy! But if you are lucky enough to have a real homemade ice cream purveyor in the neighborhood then you will frequently be cleaning up the drips and trails of sweet cream that has slowly travelled off a cone onto your hands. From the consistently long lines in the evening hours and on weekends that come out of both sides of Dippy's parking lot it is clear that this home to many choices of creamy ice cream for many years is a winner! And, they have maintained family friendly prices that provide an opportunity to invite and treat friends to their pick of ice cream. Oh wait a second ... the sign says BLUEBERRY. I like BLUEBERRY. But now on two straight visits the sign says BLUEBERRY, I have requested BLUEBERRY after having momentary visions filled with lust of just how the creamy ice cream could blend with the tartness of the health inducing fruit native to Southern New Jersey making my mouth water... well, it was my vision and dream but the teen behind the counter both times said NO BLUEBERRY. ** Just an update on a June Saturday evening ... NO BLUEBERRY (Sign still says blueberry.)! Was told "blueberry is seasonal.". Well guess what ... Blueberries are available in every market in South Jersey .. it is THE SEASON of the BLUEBERRY just not here. Geesh ... Huh? WHAT??? Then take the sign down because I really wonder how many other ice cream pursuers upon seeing those nine letters starting with a B and ending in a Y (I actually counted with my fingers to make sure I had the right number.) on the selection board were likely disappointed like I was. SLASH a star ... I have always ordered hard ice cream at Dippy's so I can't provide insight into their soft stuff but once you realize that there is NO BLUEBERRY (Did I put that in this review yet? Yep I see it above.) you will be very pleased with their sweetened creamy concoctions. Now, I like really creamy butter fat ice cream and Dippy's strays a bit towards the sweet but believe me I often think about Dippy's when I am driving within let's say 5 to 10 miles of their location knowing how I will enjoy a refreshing Blue ... well, I do think of their ice cream frequently. They offer a covered area and a "picnic area" in the open to enjoy your ice cream. Being ice cream means its hard to keep the tables perfectly clean and if I was to take away anything else from Dippy's it's that many times we have seen puddles of others' ice cream on the table tops when we went looking for a seat. If you have little ones ... ok even bigger ones ... there's a neat little train running above you bringing back memories of the times before cell phones required all of our attention. Dippy's is a place to stop whether you live close by or if you are driving through South Jersey. Just look for all the cars and the line of hungry people but please remember don't get full of lusty dreams for their blueberry ice cream until they actually say yes you can have some. read more

Went here on a Friday night. There was a little line out front, but it moved quickly. Took a while before anyone greeted us- no one seemed too friendly. When we got up to order, they were out of a whole list of ice cream flavors; so we had to make last minute decisions changing our orders. I give it three stars still because the icecream we ended up with was good. The portions are very big as well. read more

Dippy's Custard & Ice Cream - a hand holding an ice cream cone with sprinkles - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Mantua, New Jersey

Dippy's is the best! Has been our go-to since moving to West Deptford. Just wish they took cards (cash only) but product quality is great and worth going to the ATM for! read more

This is a great place for ice cream. They have other things also, like hot dogs & chili, but I'm just there for the ice cream. They make it themselves. It doesn't get any better than that! Everyone is very nice & despite the long lines in the summer, you get through to the window fairly quickly. They stay open in the cooler months as well. The prices are reasonable. The seating is roomy. It's a large screened in porch with picnic tables. They keep it neat & clean. When the weather gets cold they put plastic on the windows to keep it warm. It's a nice place to take the family for a treat that won't kill the budget. read more

Everything about this place has good energy and yummy desserts! So delicious! Have to try it all!

Summer nights after the kids ball game is what ice cream stops like Dippy's remind me of. Plenty of hustle and bustle here. Ice cream is good but not great. Flavors are your standard fare with plenty of artificial colors and flavors. It's early May and they've been open a few weeks and already they are having trouble keeping the place clean. Tables dirty, garbage cans full. Don't expect too much from your visit and you'll walk away satisfied. Good news is, the dogs loved it! Ciao! read more

Dippy's Custard & Ice Cream - We love Dippy's! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Mantua, New Jersey

Hands down good ice cream, especially the amount they give BUT very EXPENSIVE Every time we come here order the same thing why is it that the price vary??? I wish they would give us some kind of receipt so you know what your paying for. I'm not really a big fan of cash only either. It's a hit or miss with the staff, they just seem miserable or maybe it's just me lol! Hey go experience it for yourself. I'd still go back but not to often! read more

This is one of our go to spots. The ice cream is always delicious. The wife prefers the chocolate flurry with extra Oreos. I always try something different. It's always clean & service is always friendly. read more

I went here for the first time last night and it was probably the best ice cream I've ever had. There's a nice selection and it's homemade. I had a small hot fudge sundae and it was actually quite large. My husband had double chocolate fudge in a waffle cone, which was also very good. He had one scoop and even that was a pretty big size portion. There's a nice amount of seating for being at a stand and I love how it has kept its old school charm. read more

Nice little spot they put over here.. its a stand and its almost like the old days.. you stand outside, place your order through and watch them do their magic...Its like your back at the shore reliving your youth.! Plenty of seating so you can sit and enjoy an ice creams, malts, Root beer floats and all the way up to a cheeseburger.. or a chilly cheese dog!!!.. I went and got myself an ice cream steamer! Yea asked for an espresso steamer, gotta say...mofo was good. Also brought home a pint of homemade tiramisu for the wifey to enjoy, while I got a vanilla soft serve dipped in chocolate. That brought me back to me being a youngin (tear trickles) Staff was very friendly... vibrant like... looks like they are ready to make that summer money and can't wait to rock out. Also liked how they allow you to try out different ice creams they have just incase you aren't sure on it. I'd def go back again ... they have alot of special items they do Also they just installed an ATM machine service fee though :( read more

It's a tradition. A little expensive but good ice cream. The sewer smell near the back parking lot is horrible but is not always there. I've pulled up, stepped out of the car...gotten back in the car and driven away. Aside from that issue, it's a great spot for the kids. Chocolate flurry with snickers is the best. Great local business with only one problem. Fix that and it's a five star!! read more

I purchased a 10 inch ice cream cake for my birthday. The writing on the cake was terrible (looked like something a teenager would write on a note) and when we cut the cake, part of the vanilla layer in the middle was hollow and stuffed with chocolate crumbles that it ran out of the cake like a waterfall. This is the second time I had a problem with their cakes. The first in December, I thought was a fluke. I'm not so sure now, and I've been a customer for 30 years. A small price increase, but not up to what their standards were before. read more

Dippys has been there for 33 years that I know of. Can't go check wrong with the ice cream and the milkshakes are great!;

BEST ICE CREAM IN SOUTH JERSEY. I came two days in a row after I initially tried this place because I am absolutely obsessed. The first time i came I order a scoop of vanilla peanut butter and birthday cake. I enjoyed every single bite. It was the perfect texture and perfect taste. I had to come a second day to try their chocolate options. They were just as good as the vanilla. It is cash only but there is an ATM available. That would be the only downside. The ice cream is phenomenal . read more

Bring cash! They have an ATM, but it's one of the ones with a fee. Open all winter with reasonable hours, surprisingly. Not as busy of course. Summer it can get pretty crowded! They have a large assortment of homemade ice cream and water ice flavors. There's yogurt and no sugar added options as well as the option to build a sundae. They have soft serve as well. There are food items like hot dogs and cellophane home wrapped bags of candy like sour patch kids and salt water taffy. There's also coffees and lattes. But this is an ice cream place! So I never go there for that kind of fair. I've tried their mint chocolate chip - it's pretty good. The birthday cake flavor is okay. They do this amazing Blizzard/Flurry type thing with the soft serve though. They mix it with crushed Oreos and mint flavoring - amazing!!! I would recommend this over anything. I forget what their name for it is though, unfortunately. I went vegan a little over a month ago and am now relegated to the water ice selection. It is a very dry and fluffy style water ice, not heavy and wet like some places. It is adequately sweet and not too sweet (like Rita's, gross!). I had the lemon and blue raspberry together thus far, and it was a tasty combo. There is some seating attached to the building itself and some of it open style but is under a roof and other seating is farther back completely exposed. Ample parking lot too. Definitely recommend this place, stop by if you're in the area! read more

I have 3 stars bc the ice cream is great...The girls that work here are HORRIBLE!! They are rude as hell and you can tell don't give a crap abt much but closing! Years ago they had a great group of girls, it's a shame Was a nice place to go ... Melissa S read more

The flurries will blow your mind!!! Chocolate peanut butter cup is my go to for bliss. The employees are always smiling and very helpful with selection.

Dippy's Custard & Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Mantua, New Jersey

Best ice cream place around. Everytime I come into town, Dippy's is top on my list of my HAVE TO GO TO places! EXCELLENT soft serve custard. Lots of other good options!!! read more

Just okay, average ice cream. Nothing too special. Freezer burned for each of us and a rotten banana.

My favorite place in the summers! It's usually pretty busy so make sure you go early.

Enjoyed the ice cream and atmosphere. The portions were generous and the service was great. I enjoyed the trip down memory lane.

This place opened in 1982. I went to celebrate my kindergarten graduation here. I'm 35 now. I've taken my now-husband here on dates. I take my kids here- 18 minutes in the car while they plead for ice cream relief on hot summer days. Prices are good, staff is friendly, ice cream is fresh. Grab a few dollars and partake. Dippy's is kind of the gold standard. Bonus: around Christmastime, they offer pints of the good stuff for BYGO half off. Merry Christmas to ME. :) read more

The BEST homemade ice cream. Super price appropriate too! Getting a small cone (which is still pretty big) with chocolate dip or sprinkles is less than $2.00. You can't beat that! Highly recommended! read more

Friendly atmosphere. Great ice cream so many options. Don't be deterred if you see a long line because it moves quickly.

Dippy's has been a local favorite since I was a kid! I think they have the best ice cream around. Their ice cream cakes are phenomenal, and very reasonably priced. read more

Wanted some ice cream after dinner so we stopped here. With it being October it's slim pickings when it comes to ice cream. Of course before we eat anywhere YELP to the rescue (good reviews) we allow yelp to lead the way. Long story short waiting in line two young employees on the side of the building taking out the garbage no biggie...Right. Still in line waiting as the two employees return from taking the garbage out and without hesitation they return to work without washing their hands and began taking orders. Now I don't know what kind of ice cream you may be into but, no I will not have a swril with the special garbage flavor burst. Needless to say we walked away without ordering. read more

My family's favorite place for desert. We go often for the soft serve. It's so creamy delicious it doesn't need all the fancy toppings. But that doesn't stop us from enjoying cherry or hot fudge Sundaes. This ice cream is so good we often take our dinner guest there for desert. And Dippy's makes the best ice cream cakes. read more

Try the crushed cherry sundae. You will not be disappointed. Even the small is a good size. Reasonably priced and great service.

Great ice cream, great service. A little pricey but you are paying for quality ice cream. In that case it's worth it.
