Dips Ice Cream was a perfect stop for our bike ride around Anna Maria Island. They have an outside window for ice cream and a nice size patio with comfy chairs to rest and enjoy our ice cream. We had the pistachio ice cream and rum raisin. They were so good. I also tried the key lime pie and strawberry cheesecake and the ones we picked were perfect. Dips is attached on the side to the Anna Maria Island General Store so if you need anything, it's even more convenient. This is a perfect area for browsing around the stores.

Delicious, creamy and homemade with unique flavors. Still too expensive! The gentleman who owns it is very friendly, he let me try a few flavors. The exhausted parent flavor was particularly good haha. I went with butter pecan. Very good, but over $8 for a small in a waffle cone! read more

Most amazing flavor, freshness, and variety with plenty of chocolate options!'The bikes and golf carts were lined up/ parked along the quiet street while the patio was quiet with folks enjoying their ice cream treats! Walk up window outside, if you have not been before, go inside and check out the cute stuff, and some samples too! Enjoyed the dark chocolate and vanilla flavors last night. Quantity a bit small - quality wins though. Not over sweet and clean finish for those ice cream fanatics like me! read more

Pricy for ice cream but that's normal for AMI. My favorite ice cream on the island! Especially the gelato mixes (mango or tangerine ice and ice cream swirl). But wait time is so long. Tip- order ice cream inside!! Line may be long but you will get it much quicker than outdoor. read more

My friends and I went by dips today to get some ice cream after a long day of shopping and bike-riding. I got the Mango Heather, and it was exactly what I needed. It's Mango gelato and Coconut ice cream. Definitely will be coming back for seconds later on this trip. My friends got the Blueberry Cheesecake and Moosetracks, which were both amazing. We ate outside it was a pretty nice vibe. I had a great experience overall. read more

We have been coming to AMI ever since I can remember and we have made it a tradition to always get us some DIPS ice cream. The best on the island in my opinion. A little pricey for ice cream but it's totally worth it. You can order both inside and outside. If you order inside they have a sports section in the store that's fun and they have a general market store to pick up everyday needs. The outside area is nice to sit and eat your ice cream. There is no indoor seating. If you need a spot for a good scoop of ice cream then give them a try! read more
