    There's something about the Jersey Shore in the summer, kids riding around on bicycles, and ice cream! Ship Bottom Ice Cream is incredible! Great flavor list, toppings, super friendly workers, and big scoops. And the ice cream is absolutely delicious!

    I've been here multiple times over the years and their ice cream is so good. They always have yummy new flavors and it is high quality ice cream! All of the employees are super nice as well! We will be back again soon!

    went here with my parents as part of our long beach vacation on Saturday June 8th 2024. We were driving around long beach, and came across this ice cream place. There is side parking and we parked there. It was also quite busy, as there were people waiting, but the line did move fast. They have lots of homemade flavors to choose from. The person who helped us was so nice. I ordered 2 scoops: Cinnamon toast crunch on the bottom, and cotton candy on top in a medium cup. Girl who took care of us, even asked if it mattered which one was on top, i chose the cotton candy to be on top. There are also tons of topping to choose from, i chose gummy bears. My dad ordered 2 scoops of chocolate peanut butter cup in a medium cup. There are tables and chairs, and benches outside where one can eat their ice cream.paid via cash and left a tip. Sat down and enjoyed the ice cream. The Cotton candy was really sweet, and enjoyable, and i enjoyed the cinnamon toast crunch flavor as well. love the cereal too.(and it tastes just like the cereal. ) We both enjoyed our ice cream and it hit the sweet spot. highly recommend this location! Would come again if we are in the area!

    You cannot go wrong with homemade ice cream! They switch up the menu and have other options other than ice cream. They also provide vegan options. I got Nilla Banana - which is the vanilla wafer cookie and banana ice cream. It was yummy. Service is fast. Scoops are large. We walked but it looked like they have street parking. A cute place that you can't go wrong at, they have plenty of flavors and toppings for all. :)

    Do NOT sleep on Big Dipper Ice Cream! This place blew my mind with the amount of ice cream flavors…read morethey had to offer. I made the mistake of coming here solo and then having to call hubby to read to him alllll the flavors because I couldn't dare do that for him. One flavor sounds better than the next - strawberry cheese cake - what?! Moosetracks? Yeah, i'm gonna need that too! Then they trip you up with toppings! Too many decisions! I'm on vacation! I opted to get two scoops for each of us because no one walks outta here with just one. I got the strawberry cheesecake and moosetracks - a deadly sinful combo, while I got for hubby pistachio and cookies n' cream. We didn't come up for air while eating these! I found these flavors to be far superior to Ship Bottom Ice Cream - yes - I said it! There's a reason why everyone comes here as soon as the sun comes down. It's a great little family establishment with the hardest working teenagers and young adults I've ever seen. Sit on the benches outside or drive back to your beach rental and enjoy while watching the sunset. HUGE fan!

    Go here for the best ice-cream on the island and huge generous portions! We've been coming here for…read moreyears and keep coming back despite trying many other ice-cream joints on the island. This is our go to!! I love the coconut icecream with rainbow sprinkles and get it everytime. HUGE Generous portions and toppings!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE that they put sprinkles at the bottom of the cup before your ice-cream is scooped to ensure you get sprinkles in every bite! This is a key differentiator that will bring me back every time!! With this "small size" barely anyone is able to finish it...they say it's two scoops but you know no scoop like the Big Dipper...it does live up to its name! If you ever saw the movie Uncle Buck the best way to describe the portions if you imagine how it was when uncle buck has to "eat and finish the grizzle" for the steak eating competition and it's nearly impossible! I used to get a lid and would save 1/2 in our freezer when we were staying in Harvey cedars but now we are further away so that's no longer an option. TIP: After several years of ordering the "small" (which is anything but small) I noticed they have a "Little Dipper single scoop" option and went this route this time without whipcream or the cherry...which was a smart choice...as it was still a generous portion but I was able to finish it this time! Before, I felt like I was often unable to finish the "small" and felt bad throwing out 1/2 the ice-cream...every time...there's so much wasted. One time I told my son to just give me his mint chip before he threw it out because it's really a big enough portion for two to share. If I was having a birthday on the island I'd like to have an ice-cream cake from here bc Johnny's cakes look like the best ice-cream cakes I've ever seen outside of cold stone creamery. I'm always blown away at the people who order anything other than a small or even the banana splits which offer a ridiculous and obscene amount of dessert. The milk shakes also look amazing if you're into them. The only heads up I'd say is if you have a peanut allergy be careful because I did wind up with a few Reeces pieces in my topping which was actually a nice surprise/accident for me but might not be for everybody esp if you have an allergy. Kids bring your quarters! One other watch out: If you get a blue gum-ball make sure it's the cerulean lighter blue color vs the dark royal blue so you don't get your hopes up about getting a free ice-cream as was the case for us! The staff is always kind even though they have a huge line! No shirt, no shoes is no problem! However the floor is sooo gross and sticky I'd highly recommend wearing footwear!
