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!

We got our ice cream selections to go. The Cookies and Cream was good and the Chocolate Peanut…read moreButter was excellent. My wife got something like a Chocolate Fudge that she really enjoyed and said it was better than the Mocha she also got. What I did like was the attention and care the person who must have been the manager showed. This couple ordered two cones and were given a white paper bag. At the same time two cones came to the counter. She quickly realized that that couple had been given the wrong order. She got them straightened out and already had my ice cream out of the bag the other couple had touched and a fresh one open but before putting anything in the bag she asked if I wanted my order rescooped and that they'd be happy to do so. I declined since they only touched the bag and didn't open it but I appreciated the option and the way she handled the situation.

Service is sort of rushed, which is understandable as it's mostly teens working there, but oh boy - I saw something pretty disgusting. There was a taster spoon trash can put on the counter and one of the workers pulled a spoon out from it to give someone a sample. I tried to tell another employee but he shrugged me off and said it's not trash - then I spun it around to show him the trash label. He was about to tell the worker, but ultimately gave up. That was pretty disgusting but maybe management didn't give the team proper training. Also weird that prices are not visible anywhere until you check out. Seems easy enough to write it on the board especially since there's a board for flavors and a board with step by step instructions of size, flavor, and toppings

A Must-Visit Ice Cream Haven!…read more If you're anywhere near the area, do not miss a stop at Skipper Dipper an absolute gem of a spot that serves some of the best ice cream around. The star of the show? Their banana ice cream. It's rich, creamy, and packed with real banana flavour like a frozen slice of summer in every bite. Skipper Dipper is almost always busy, and for good reason. The line may be long, but it moves quickly, and the reward is more than worth the wait. The place buzzes with energy, and there's a fun, beachy vibe that makes it feel like a classic summer tradition. What really sets them apart is their range of incredible flavours from the nostalgic to the unexpected. Whether you're a purist or an adventurous taster, you'll find something to fall in love with. And the staff? Super friendly and efficient, even on the busiest nights. Skipper Dipper isn't just an ice cream stop it's an experience.

The staff, as always, couldn't have been nicer (tip your servers, folks! I forgot and had to go back in with cash because they are the nicest) and the ice cream was 10/10 per usual. My husband got vanilla soft serve and I got a cranberry chocolate swirl (my favorite) in a chocolate chip cone. Baby had nothing since she's too little. Worth every penny. Happy 48th year, SD! We're your biggest fans. See you in July or August for baby's first scoop of her own.

Although they did ask me to spell my name out for them and they still got it wrong‍ I got the iced caramel almond milk latte which was actually delicious and not too sweet which I was a big fan of. The blueberry muffin was also very moist and delicious. Also tried the strawberry smoothie which was very very sweet...not my cup of tea. And the iced vanilla latte; also too sweet. Overall it was satisfying and there is outdoor seating in the vicinity too which is always nice. It seemed that there were multiple locations on LBI so I can only talk for this one but assuming they taste the same‍

I am so happy to find a place that serves delicious dairy free ice cream. They accept cash and credit cards for payment and have a nice size parking lot. Seating is also available inside. I will definitely return!

I ordered the inside-out jelly which was very disappointing. Not only was the donut itself very stale-tasting, but the hole in the donut was huge, so the moment I picked it up, all the jelly fell out and it was extremely messy and difficult to eat. If you're looking for good quality, fresh donuts, I don't think I'd recommend this place despite its location and convenience. There are many other better spots on the island worth the money.
