Worst service and was treated so rudely by staff and owner. I spent almost $70 there and not one you're welcome. They scream out your order and slam it down if you aren't fast enough. They don't tell you what type of ice cream you're getting in your sundae. I assumed because no flavor was listed to indicate otherwise that it would be a standard vanilla. They gave chocolate on two of our sundaes and it was gross. Did not even make sense with the flavors. Decided they didn't want to make anything fried or any real food long before they closed. Absolute worst experience. I would have spent 70 dollars to watch paint dry then go to this place. There's animals barking and people screaming and cussing just hanging out in the area. Not family friendly whatsoever. Premium prices with a ghetto, unfriendly atmosphere. I'd give zero stars if I could. Do not waste your time. You can be treated badly for free. read more

The Whippy Dip on Chestnut street has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I ordered my ice cream in a cup, but when it came out, it was in a cone. This would usually be fine, but I have celiac disease and have been gluten free for years now, as I get incredibly sick when I eat gluten. The workers began shoving the ice cream from the cone into the cup as I explained that I cannot eat the cone. The older woman with the black hair (I believe the owner) came over and yelled at me, convinced that I ordered a cone. I explained that I had not ordered a cone and that I cannot have it, and she went silent and shoved the bowl of ice cream at me. I have never written a bad review, or a review in general, but this interaction was completely unneeded and disrespectful. I have never once had a problem with ordering my ice cream in a bowl, nor did I think it would be a big deal, but this establishment shocked me. read more

Loved this place! LOTS of options at a good old-fashioned drive-in ice cream window. Soft swirl was delicious with interesting combinations. Friendly staff. read more

It was ok. Basic soft serve. It's satisfying. The blue something ( i dont remember the name ) i thought may be blueberry or something was just a sweeter vanilla. Disappointed. Theres better places to go read more

Yum yum and yum The soft serve ice cream was awesome and very creamy. Service with a smile. Ordered through the drive thru window. Place looked nice. Really large portion. We ate some of our ice cream while sitting in the parking lot and then off we went. read more

Stopped by after work around 3 pm for some chili dogs and were told they were out of chili (as was their other location, which we stopped by afterwards). This is apparently a common occurrence with both locations, because they don't seem to know how to make extra batches of chili to last the day. Since this seems to happen every day (or at least, has happened to us 4 of the last 5 times we've gone to this location), you think they'd get a clue and stop losing out on paying customers who decide to go elsewhere. read more

The snowstorms are loaded! Chunks galore! Tasty dole whip! And the prices are very reasonable

Ice cream was good, they were friendly. We also enjoyed the funnel fries. Onion rings and chili dog was mediocre. They had whippy dip t-shirts and my wife was ecstatic to buy one. read more

We swung by while we were passing through so my wife could relive her youth! I was presently surprised at the soft serve Blue Moon / Strawberry mix! It was worth the stop. The snowstorms we had were tasty as well! I hope I make it back to Erie! read more

Whippy Dip - Bluemoon/strawberry soft serve - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Erie, Pennsylvania

Whippy Dip is obviously a classic ice cream stand in Erie. I grew up coming here. The brownie sundaes used to be my jam, but now I'm gluten free and can't enjoy that delicious treat. There's a ton of different options between sundaes, milkshakes, their special blizzard type concauction (I can't remember the technical name) and flavored soft serve. I was bummed because their flavor of the month for soft serve was banana, which... not my thing. But they have a few other flavors offered. I opted with a regular strawberry milkshake. They have syrup to flavor milkshakes too, but I was just a little nervous that they weren't gluten free. When I asked the employee if they knew or if they had a list of ingredients handy they seemed annoyed and said they didn't know and couldn't look for me. I am not trying to be a diva, I literally just cannot eat gluten because it makes me sick. So that was semi-annoying. I realize it's an old school spot, but this is 2020 and you should know what allergens you carry. Regardless, I'll go back and just hope for a better soft serve flavor next time. read more

A nice local place for ice cream. We all had a twist cone and came away satisfied! Definitely recommend.

Been going to the original 26th Street location for years. Today will be our last time. My wife and 2 boys stopped on way home after a beautiful day at Presque Isle and all ordered ice cream sundaes. I got mine last which was supposed to be a PB&J sundae (PB ice cream with strawberries). As soon as I took it I realized they gave me a chocolate sundae with peanut butter sauce. So I stood in line and informed the girl working there I was given the wrong sundae. She ignored my concerns. I then flag down the owner and explain situation to her. The owner then asks the girl working the counter what I ordered. The girl tells owner I ordered what I received and the owner refuses to do anything. What happened to customer service? What happened to the customer is always right? We were actually planning to buy my younger boy a Whippy Dip T shirt. Instead I left my uneaten paid-for wrong order on their counter. Plenty more ice cream stands that provide service with a smile. read more

They have a great brownie fudge sundae! So chocolaty. Gotta try it. Have a great SpongeBob pop for kids too.

I always want to support Local but it's very hard when you get the wrong order bring it to the owners attention and she is super rude about it... I've been talking about going there all this week to get the peanut butter banana twist dipped in chocolate- my friend ordered before me She turned around and said they don't have it. I said it's right there on the board. She then placed her order telling me that it had to be stacked. I was totally confused because if you have the twist, why would it need stacked? I get up there next. I literally say I want the special the peanut butter banana twist dipped in chocolate upside down in a bowl I get my order I take literally three bites and I can see and taste that it is chocolate banana that they gave me not peanut butter I take out the window the rude owner then tells me I ate most of it lol... you own this place right? You cant just make me another one when it was your mistake? Their stuff is already over priced so I guess I can see her not wanting to lose her four dollars but that's OK. I won't give another penny read more

Whippy Dip - Not peanut butter banana twist, but with a runny chocolate dip - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Erie, Pennsylvania

Service was great, soft serve ice cream was just normal as expected, they have funnel fries I wanted to try but we got there too late for that so next time we will have to try. Overall good dessert option. read more

Some of the best soft serve I've ever had! I lived around the corner from this place for a couple of months, and found it pretty difficult not to end up eating dinner here every night! It's a simple drive thru layout, the kind of place that probably hasn't changed much in the fifty years since it's stood on the corner. The service is to the point but not unfriendly, and the menu is pretty basic. They have the usual flavors, like chocolate and vanilla, as well as a "flavor of the week" which is usually something a bit more offbeat and creative. The taste is everything I want out of a soft serve cone - creamy, custardy, and delicious. To top it off, prices here can't be beat! read more

Whippy Dip - Blue moon flavor of the week (tasted like cotton candy) with sprinkles - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Erie, Pennsylvania

I've been living in Erie for awhile now, and I found this place by word of mouth. The parking sucks, the fact that it's cash only sucks. Let's face it though; it's cheap, it's good quality, big servings, and the long lines go fast due to good service. read more

Whippy Dip - Banana split! Honestly love the fact they dice up all the fruit they put in it, plus it's a lot for just 5 dollars. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Erie, Pennsylvania

Whippy Dip has horrible customer service. Everyone there is very rude & if you say please or thank you they just ignore you. Good Ice Cream just horrible customer service. read more

This is such a fun spot to gather with friends and family and have something sweet or get a small snack. They only accept cash, but the prices are good. Being new to Erie, this is now a family favorite. read more

I am an ice cream fanatic. Today was my first trip to Whippy Dip and I wasn't disappointed. There are not many places in Erie that offer soft serve ice cream. Today I ordered a small vanilla soft serve with rainbow sprinkles. I got a generous amount of ice cream. The cone was slightly lopsided, but it is still early in the season, there is ample time to perfect the cones. The ice cream was coated in sprinkles, just the way I like it, but much to my dismay, I was only given 2 purple sprinkles. I left the counter feeling a little bit gypped but excited to taste the ice cream nonetheless. Great flavor! Great sprinkles! I have had creamier soft serves, but this hit the spot. Much better than DQ. Looking forward to going back, tomorrow. read more

Whippy Dip - Classic soft vanilla with rainbow sprinkles - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Erie, Pennsylvania

I am dairy free so this is a delicious treat for me! I love their Dole Pineapple whip and the Strawberry/ Lemon is yummy too!

As an enthusiasts of classic roadside ice cream stands, Whippy Dip ranks high in my book. They are located smack dab in the middle of Erie's Eastside. If you don't live in the neighborhood there may not seem to be a reason to travel to WD, but I always find myself going out of the way to get a treat there several times each summer. They offer standard soft serve and normally have a sherbet twist flavor, which is somewhat unique. The multiple toppings they offer are traditional and wonderful, especially the "crunch coat or twinkle coat" as some call it. As all Erie ice cream stands seem to do, they offer Smith's hotdogs as part of their grill menu. There simply is no better hot dog so that is a huge win. Despite any crowds that may gather on a hot weekend night, the young staff is always courteous and efficient. Whippy Dip is the quintessential summer ice-cream stand. read more

Discovered this place by accident as I went to Millcreek Mall on way to Presque Isle. The original sign and building is so cute. I got my dog Randy a small cone in a cup and I'd love to go back here but getting around Erie is so hard. read more

The first sign of Spring in Erie Pennsylvania is when Whippy Dip opens for the summer season. Great soft serve stand with a wide variety of items on the menu including Smith's Hotdogs-another Erie favorite. Everything is delicious. The Turtle Sundae is FANTASTIC!Prices are great. Lines are often long because it's such a good place to go, but service is quick. Don't miss out on a Whippy Dip treat! read more

This is probably my favorite ice cream place ever. It's so delicious and amazing and I just LOVE it!!

Very disappointed with the customer service and the quality of the ice cream. I would rather of visited McDonald's with a broken ice cream machine. read more

I grew up going to the Dip for icecream. They have soft serve and several coatings you can put on them. My favorite coating is the crinkle coat. Can't tell you what is in it, but it is delicious. They have sundaes and other treats, but we come for the big cones. Oh, and occasionally we will get the footlong chili cheese dogs. Mmmmmmm. read more

Visited yesterday with my two boys and wasn't disappointed. Friendly service, nice prices and delicious soft serve.

I really appreciate that they always have 2 nondairy soft serve flavors abailable (though I wish they had nondairy vanilla all the time. It's absolutely perfect.) The fried food is as greasy and good as you'd expect and the prices are fair. read more

I'm not sure if it was because of what I ordered or what but my ice cream was so gross that I actually threw it out and had to go somewhere else. I had the soft served orange one that I would not recommend. My brother got an Oreo milkshake which I admit was okay but the straw was so small you had to keep sucking to get something out! read more
