Great soft serve ice cream spot! I've always got to get the swirl. It's a great flavor and great consistency. They do a great job! read more

Getting ice cream from a hole in the wall is pretty much where all the best ice cream comes from! I'm the heart of silverton and a great way to just relax after a hot summer. They have frostbites which is what I get but also have non dairy dole whip options as well. This place gets a long line so be patient especially when school lets out. Parking can be weird but there is a side lot. And if you fancy more food, there is Italian restaurant next door! read more

Wow! We can get Dole pineapple soft serve in Cincinnati. I used to enjoy Dole Whip in Hawaii. So it was a treat. We ordered medium size in a cup to share. The portion was generous. Much larger than Hawaii. I also liked that it was not as sweet. Yum! read more

A hidden gem!! I am not sure how I have lived in Cincinnati and have never heard of this place until now. My friend and I both got the blueberry ice cream. It was delicious and hit the spot! The prices are reasonable and the portions are huge. There is a nearby seating area with green space, park benches, and cute string lights! Great for a family hang out or date night. The service was quick and the staff was very kind. 100% coming back! read more

The Dipper - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

It is a small, walk up ice cream place. The workers are always so kind and the ice cream is made quickly. There is usually a pretty good line, but don't worry, it goes fast! The soft service is absolutely delicious and they have tons of toppings and mix ins! Beyond it just being tasty, it is so affordable! Last time we got small soft serve cup with fudge, small frostbite (soft serve with Oreos mixed in), and a small strawberry slush all for $8!! 100% worth stopping by the next time you have a sweet craving! read more

Updating to add that The Dipper now has rotating flavors of Dole Whip! This great dairy free alternative can be had as a single flavor, swirled, or in some of their icee + dole whip combos. They always have the original pineapple flavor but have also had strawberry and orange that I have experienced so far. Definitely reccomend if you are dairy free! read more

The Dipper was awesome! Cute walk up window, there are benches nearby to sit at and eat. The person who helped us was very friendly. I ordered a vanilla soft serve with chocolate sprinkles and peanut butter and it was delish, and it was an awesome value for the price-- I had to take some home! read more

DOLE WHIP!! As someone who is dairy-free, this place is a godsend. They always have pineapple and one other flavor. I have even bought myself a large, taken it home and split it into smaller portions so I could eat it throughout the week. I've had strawberry, raspberry, and orange. I would love to see some other fun flavors like blueberry, apricot, blackberry, kiwi, etc. read more

This is a great local ice cream shop with competitive prices and tons of options! They have 3 different types of dole whip at the time I went: orange, pineapple & Strawberry. Blueberry ice cream, chocolate, vanilla & twist. They have tons of sundaes and shake options. They accept credit cards which is nice compared to other local dairy bars who don't. The employees are always friendly. They have a sitting area a little walk down from the establishment. I personally love how there is a brewery basically across the street so you can get beer, dinner and dessert all within a walking distance from your car. I personally love their chocolate banana shake. I will be back! read more

Ok I'm giving it 4 stars for service and concept. This place reminds me of the fair I've cream tricks that allow you to pick a flavor you want your ice cream infused with. I did not like the ice cream at all. I wanted Putz, however this place was closer so I decided to try it out. I can't explain why I don't like the taste and texture of this ice cream. I just know I wanted Putz and should've went there. The ice cream is a lighter consistency then a Dairy Queen, with different flavor options and toppings . read more

The Dipper - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Walked over from a friends house around 8pm to get some ice cream after dinner. The line was surprisingly long, and the menu could have been more efficient to read. I got a traditional soft serve chocolate ice cream and it wasn't anything special. My friends got root beer float, and other ice cream options with a cone and sprinkles. I think this is a nice little neighborhood ice cream shop, but nothing to write home about. I like that they have seating areas around the corner of the building to enjoy your ice cream, there's a nice mural and you can people watch while you eat. read more

What a great old-fashioned experience to get your ice cream cone (or other delight) from a walk-up window. I love going to The Dipper when in Silverton to get my blueberry ice cream cone. Reminds me of Smurf ice cream at Kings Island many decades ago. My husband had the orange dole whip...nice and tart, almost sherbet like, on a hot summer day. Our cones are small! And only $2.25 read more

Omg!!! The dipper is OPEN for the season..and... The Best ice-cream sundae award goes to..... back to the dipper!!!!! In the summer After romping around at the dog park, we like to make a stop at a local icecream spot to cool off ... it's a family affair and everyone gets a little bit of icecream :) my doggos aren't spoiled at all! Today after the park we stopped by the the dipper.. we had been there in past seasons but this year I feel like they have upped their game. I ordered a peanut butter sundae and it was AMAZING! Vanilla ice cream... peanut butter sauce... chocolate shell... peanut butter candy pieces... peanuts... topped with whipped cream and a cherry.... let's just say that became my dinner oh and how much did that cost... glad you asked $4.50... Amazing! I was in peanut butter heaven... oh and my boyfriend he got a snickers glacier basically a blizzard. It was on point. Then the doggos they have a pup cup... basically a little vanilla icecream in a dish. Let's just say the entire family was happy!!! And it cost $10 best snackos at the right price let's call that a win-win In addition to amazing icecream creations which you need in your life, they have a walk up store front and you don't have to go inside perfect for covid social distancing... also there are public tables in a vacant lot next door that you can sit and enjoy your snack.... or dinner of ice cream delishishness.... I don't judge.. So pack up the family, doggos, cats, kids and head to the dipper for an amazing ice cream experience! read more

Back 2 The Dipper is one of the best places for ice cream. It used to be Hold The Nuts. The name has changed but they still have the same great stuff. It has a window you order from. The only bad thing is there's almost no seating. It's the best ice cream in the Silverton area. It's located right next to the Italianette. They are both owned by the same family I think. It only has a window you order at. There's no drive thru or anything like that. It's nothing fancy. The place seems to be bare bones when it comes to places to sit. It seems the focus is on the product. I had a green apple slushie. This particular flavor isn't common at ice cream places as far as I can tell. It's about $2 for the medium size. The slushies are a lot slushier compared to most others, which is good because they don't quickly freeze up. If only they had more places for people to sit. It has one bench in front. There is a parking lot where you can hang out. read more

Delicious soft serve in downtown Silverton. The Dipper has an excellent selection of soft serve classics, plus flavor mix-ins for some elaborate specials. Can't go wrong with a small twist with crunch coat in my book though. After you get your cone, it's a super short walk to the public green space on the corner, complete with picnic tables and umbrellas. Perfect neighborhood spot all summer long. read more

Creamy whip at its finest! What makes this walk up ice cream window awesome is that its just steps away from the new High Grain brewery in Silverton. Unlike many other walk up locations there are benches out front to enjoy your ice cream. Friendly staff that greet you with a smile as you approach. Because the ice cream is made with real cream, I guarantee the melt will start immediately. So eat it fast. read more

The proximity to this place is great. After I go to one of my favorite breweries, I walk to this cute ice cream spot and get a yummy soft serve cone. They have all the standard flavors and sundaes to soothe your sweet tooth. This is a walk up window so there really aren't places to sit inside, but they do have a few benches outside to sit outside and enjoy your ice cream. If you happen to have your furry friends with you, make sure to ask for the doggie sundae. It's just vanilla ice cream with a doggie treat on top. I ordered one for my little Jack Russell and they gave him a legit kids serving. Needless to say he was very excited and so was I. read more

This is our favorite ice cream in Cincinnati! We've had it all and it's all good. An extra special treat is the blue soft serve that is a Kong's Island favorite at a fraction of the price. If you haven't been to the dipper, you need to get there soon! read more

The Dipper - This is our favorite ice cream in Cincinnati! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Great local ice cream walk up window for the warmer temperatures. I like that they were already open at the beginning of April unlike other local ice cream shops that open up in May. You may miss it if you are driving by quickly but it's right next door to the italianette pizza restaurant and has bright blue bench's right out front. We always park across the street in the surface lot and just walk across. All of your staple cones, shakes and floats can be found here and the prices are super affordable. Will definitely return even if we're not already in the neighborhood, it's worth the drive! read more

The Dipper - Swirl cone with crunch coat - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I was attracted by the countless times I've driven by this walk-up window and never once did I see it without any customers. I guess I'm not a big soft serve person cause it was just a standard soft serve cone to me. It began melting rather quickly on a cool late-September evening. There are a few benches outside for you to enjoy your ice cream. I believe they are closed mid-fall through the winter. read more

Any place with a clever name gets people to stop by, which is exactly what drew me to Hold The Nuts! on a recent trip to Silverton. A walk-up, hole-in-the-wall creamy whip, Hold The Nuts! is located next to Italianette and run by the same folks. As I walked up to the window, a sign read: "To order ice cream, go to the Italianette." The clerk inside the restaurant called for the manager, who met me back over at the Hold The Nuts! window. Odd, I know. I kept it simple and went with a soft serve flavor burst. I was handed a huge cone that only cost $2.00. Elsewhere, I've paid $2.75 or more. It was a cool, 70º spring day and the ice cream started melting immediately. Actually, it was the flavor topping that was dripping down my hand. The treat was tasty, but I wish I hadn't been forced to devour the cone so quickly. Price per person: $3.00 read more
