    If Sundae is your favorite day of the week I have the perfect place to satisfy your ice cream cravings. Downtown Dipper Ice Cream is an ice cream shop located in the Mediterranean Revival Theatre Plaza, a historic building in Vero Beach. The building opened in 1924 as the city's first motion picture studio and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. Today the building is the heart of the Vero Beach historic district. Family owned and operated Downtown Dipper opened in the historic theater in November of 2022. They also own Downtown Dapper across the street. One day after visiting Pocahontas Park they realized there was no place nearby to stop and get ice cream and this was the inspiration for opening Downtown Dipper. The shop serves Ice Cream Club Ice Cream founded in 1982 by Rich Draper and Tom Jackson who began making ice cream in the back of their 500 foot ice cream shop in Plaza Del Mar on A1A in Manalapan. They began winning awards for their ice cream the next year and in 1984 they opened their second location in North Palm Beach. By 1985 they entered the wholesale ice cream production business and today they have 150 flavors. The Ice Cream Club manufactures in Boynton Beach and they have a frozen storage and distribution center in Riviera Beach that holds 1,000 pallets of ice cream. They are producing 2,000,000 gallons of ice cream per year to supply over 500 ice cream shops, retirement communities, restaurants, and food service and wholesale accounts in the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic states and the Caribbean Islands. Here's the scoop! Downtown Dipper serves the ice cream in cups, cones, sundaes, shakes, floats, banana splits, and in ice cream sandwiches made with cookies baked locally. They have all of your favorite toppings including sauces, sprinkles, candy, and cookies. Popular flavors of ice cream include cookie dough, raspberry truffle, and coconut almond fudge along with Salted caramel brownie, red velvet cake, superman, spumoni, cappuccino chip, vanilla, caramel caribou, and black raspberry. I ordered my favorite flavor chocolate chip mint served in a fresh and crispy waffle cone. It was the perfect treat to end the evening. They even have an adorable photo op set up so everyone can take pictures. The story of this sweet local family owned and operated ice cream shop makes my heart melt. Come out and support this great local business when you are in downtown Vero.

    Staff were friendly and my niece and nephew were big fans. I was able to get a couple of bites, and the ice cream was delicious!

    Don't wait like I did as this is an exceptional gelato stop and amazing baked goods as well! The…read moregelato flavors rotate, and tonight I have the whiskey cream with the dark chocolate, and the combination was spectacular. For mom, I let her have the vanilla and salted caramel, and she hasn't said a word since it landed in her hands.... If you knew her, you would know that is a feat and I may have to just bring her for gelato more often. Amazing hospitality from Miss B. And I look forward to returning and trying so many of her delicious treats.!!!! Sorry we ate it too fast to get pictures....

    Mother's Day night and my wife wanted a nice dessert. I looked on Yelp and found Butter Cup Bakery…read moreCafe. Neither of us had been here. The reviews and pictures looked amazing so off we went. It's in what's called the Miracle Mile shopping area in Vero Beach. Very nice storefront, we were immediately greeted and welcomed once inside. A lovely display case filled with delectable looking cakes and cupcakes. Next to that was a cooler with various exotic flavors of gelato. My wife got the fudge brownie and I got the vanilla coconut. Both out of this world and like the Reese's old commercial together they tasted amazing. We also ordered a strawberry cupcake with white frosting and topped with coconut and a sliced strawberry on top. Looked and tasted wonderful. So, if you're a dessertaholic like I am and you haven't been...GO!
