The Dipper is a neighborhood favorite. This family-run shop specializes in soft-serve ice cream and various incarnations, including sundaes, milkshakes, flurries (soft serve mixed and blended with your favorite toppings), and now serving Dole Whip Orange.Queue up at the window for a tasty summer treat! Service is always friendly and speedy. Well worth the walk or drive, with convenient free public parking just a short walk north.Its a popular place, so be prepared for a potential wait, the sidewalk can get crowded. But the wait is worth it! The soft serve is always the highest quality, and they get every order right!

Great ice cream at great prices! Love going here and the staff is so friendly. Highly recommend! There are now picnic tables around the corner to sit and eat your ice cream at!

The Ice Cream here is Delicious, I just Love Thier Twist Ice Cream Cones!

The soft serve was pretty good but not better than anything else Ive had. It was pretty much melting the moment it was handed to us on a moderately warm day.

Ice cream is always good and service is fantastic! Our family loves coming here throughout the summer.

Love love this hidden spot delicious ice cream and friendly service been going for years 😋

We drive from Madeira to this place - its a great ice cream place for selection and price. They do offer a handful of snack items beyond the ice cream items. This is a walk-up place with no bathroom access. There are 4 benches on the sidewalk or just walk to the end of the block where theres a park with picnic tables. For parking note that you should not use The one across the street (risk being towed) - there is a free lot a half block further from the shoppe. This is right beside italianette pizzeria so you have the option of ordering your pizza and having some ice cream while you wait!

Awesome local soft-serve ice cream shop with some unique menu items. A little neighborhood gem. The banana split is especially delish. They do a good job with safety, too, and patrons seem eager to give each other plenty of space. There are picnic tables just up the street to sit at, too.

Delicious! Good portions at fair prices.

Fantastic restaurant for families. Not very expensive and fantastic ice cream!

I always go to the mom and pop places instead of big box and I always will they have got everything you need

One of the nicest ice cream shops in Cincinnati with amazing staff, owner, and beautiful location with multiple restaurants near by. We love The Dipper!

Great stuff the fruit slushie lemon berry was delicious but would like to see some better cups be used my lid kept popping off when I lifted it from the drink holder but other than that awesome will definitely return

The blue ice cream was delicious, however the milkshake was very thin just to much milk.

Best banana spilt ever

Thank goodness for ice cream. And cheese coneys :)

Insanely cheap for what you get, for 6 of us the prices were around $20. 2 small ice creams, 2 large shakes, 2 sundaes. Completely blown away, and really fast service too! Ill defibe returning to this place!

Basic soft-serve. Delicious 😋

Good prices, good icecream, whats more to sat

Nice little place and great soft serve.

Love there ice cream!! It was my first time trying it and the banana split was perfect will continue to go ALL SUMMER 😆 LOL

Get the sundae with chopped up peanut butter cups, peanut butter sauce, chocolate shell, and chopped peanuts. You’ll thank me later! ❤️

Yummy cold treat on a hot summer afternoon.

Very convenient, especially if you sit at the picnic tables nearby

Cashier was very friendly and caring. My order was delicious 😥

Kathy and her team are wonderful!!!! And the ice cream is great too!!!

Great ice cream! What more is there to say?

Family Friendly Ice cream

Tasty softy and sundaes....

Great Soft Serve!

One of the best dairy whips in the city! Huge portions, great prices, and friendly staff. One of my favorites.

This place is a gem!! A perfect ice cream for a hot day!!

You get than your moneys worth

Bttr then gr8ers

Great ice cream!! Customer service awesome!!

Quick and easy. Walk-up window only. Try the blue soft serve!

Love this place! Always great ice cream. Walk up counter with all the creamy whip classics. Parking across from MVP restaurant and next to bank.

Miss the old name lol

Great little ice cream place. Simple offerings, very affordable! Kids love it.

Was closed for the season.

One of the best places for soft serve ice 🍨! Great prices, amazing people and you are happy every time you go!

Was called hold the nuts. Just a great little soft serve ice cream store. BTW, they have the Kings island Smurf ice cream.

An amazing place, humble it may be. The staff were super friendly, giving out recommendations as to what you can try! The blue soft serve is great and so are the Fruit Freezes (BananaBerry best, prove me wrong)! I do wish Ive found this place earlier. There is a place to park at the left of the storefront, and theres always the option of a leisurely short walk.

Nice soft ice cream

I take dance at Marias School of Dance literally right around the corner from The Dipper (you can look it up) and I go to dance five days a week in the summer.... This is like paradise after 4 hours of dance practice. I love going to The Dipper with my friends after class! I love the workers (Kathy!!!) And I love the ice cream (SO GOOD)!!! Totally 1000000% suggest!!! (Its so sad it closes in fall 😭)

A quick dairy whip stop beside Italianette pizza restaurant. Generous servings. Creative toppings and shakes. Open during summers. Walk up window. Minimal seating. Parking down the street.

Great ice cream!!

A hidden gem in Deer Ash. If youre looking for dessert in Blue Ash look no further!! Graeters corporate ice cream chain pales in comparison to this well loved small town ice cream stop. Youll have to park up the block and walk up to the stand but its 1000% worth your time.

I love this place...the icecream is delightful. Great prices too. I love to support local businesses, way better than DQ

Good ice cream

Blue soft serve mmmmmmm!

Great local ice cream stand. Little pricey but taste really good none the less. They also have blue raspberry soft serve, enough said...

Fav cream spot ever

Pretty good!

The ice cream was great, and the service lady was friendly, however the whole area surrounding the place was practically a no parking zone, closest place to park was almost a block away and the area was filled to capacity with cars . This meant investing an arbitrary amount of time getting there and an arbitrary amount of time returning to your car, for me it just wasnt worth the extra time, although the ice cream was tasty and fresh. ( I snuck across the street and parked at the gym, with a million signs saying no parking unless your a member of the gym, or they will tow you, lol ) Really ???!!!

Great place to stop for dessert after dinner at Italiannette Pizza 🍕

Great self serve location. Shakes and flurries as well. No seating to speak of and parking is a little walk away, but worth it. Right next to Italianette pizza so you can hit all your cravings at once.

Surprisingly quite a few options for a small ice cream stand. They not only do the traditional soft serve vanilla, chocolate, and swirl, they have a flavor blast option that can add easily a dozen more flavors. They sell a frostbite which is the equivalent to a blizzard at dairy queen with just as many choices as they have. Its a great little spot that is right next to the Italianette on Plainfield rd. Very cheap, and the service is incredibly fast and friendly.

Just moved close to here. This place always has people outside, Great soft ice cream lots of options for a small place and great staff. Its hard to find parking sometime because of how many people like it!

Too pricey for ice cream. Forgot key ingredients on a sundae.

Love love love

Great little ice cream shop with a walk up window. Service was quick and friendly and the ice cream and toppings were both top notch. Will likely add this one as a regular stop throughout the summer!

Love this place

I love this little place. I especially love that I catch the owners there frequently and they are always happy and smiling. This has been such a gem to experience since I first moved to the neighborhood, Im so glad I discovered it. I stop by weekly.

Great banana split...they really piled it on!!

Delicious ice cream. Lots of items to choose from. Price is great. You order from walk up window. Benches to sit on to enjoy your ice cream. They dont scamp on size neither.

They have BLUE ICE CREAM

This place is great & even better than The Cone, which was there years before. They have plenty of options, including slushie floats, and its very affordable. You get a lot for your money. This is becoming one of our ice cream destinations for the summer!

Great service

I love that I can walk around the corner to get ice cream, soo many selections with great prices, and to top it off, they also have chips, bottled water, and a couple food choices😋 I would recommend especially on a hot sunny day. They are friendly people that make you feel at home and you would wanna keep coming back

The staff is always quick and friendly. Only a couple blocks from me, its a great walk for some ice cream in the summer.

Love this little place. Locally run by a super nice lady, affordable pricing, good portions, wonderful selection of flavors. Our favorite ice cream stop, by far!

Always a great time. The watermelon glacier NEVER disappoints😍

Very good ice cream selections and friendly

Maybe its my imagination, but their soft serve seems so much colder than any soft serve Ive ever had. Its so delicious. I recommend the blue ice cream with a Krunch kote.

Very good ice cream and friendly service

Large portions. Quick, friendly service. Delicious softserve ice cream.

Amazing ice cream and really good service, they were super nice and I’ll be back there pretty soon for sure.

They have GREAT ice cream! The best!

Very good Ice Cream, for a very good price!!

Great place to get ice cream

My family LOVES The Dipper! Great prices, large portions, yummy dessert, and friendly faces!

Delicious ice cream and great prices! They also have blue soft serve!

Great treats, great service, great prices for a whole in the wall spot! Highly recommended and definitely suggest experiencing am ice cream stand like this at least once in your lifetime!

Went with my boyfriend earlier this evening and the ice cream was bomb❤️❤️❤️I love it!!! The lady at the window who served our sweets was very polite

Good local place. Hope they keep it simple, thats all it needs to be.

Good soft serve and really cheap prices.

Fast. And easy but Awesome Ice cream

Delicious soft.serve ice cream on a hot summer night!

Always have loved the Dipper.

A family tradition each season. So yummy. You cant beat the price!

Good soft serve ice cream for a fair price. A nice place to stop by on a warm day and enjoy one of the classics that you expect a soft serve ice shop to have.

The hidden gem of Silverton! Perfect summer spot!

Crunch cone was delicious.
