Little Dippers is a BIG dipper for me and my family. I wad greeted by the owner(?) (beautiful blond woman) who said they don't open till 3:00. I explained my sister who went to PSU is in Hospice and when she heard they sell Penn State Creamery she asked if she could have some. The owner asked what flavor to which i said (Peachy Paterno) her favorite. She double bagged it, cups and spoons AND said it was on the house! Then she gave me a much needed consoling hug! I am a life long customer from this day forward! Oh and yes the ice cream is DELICIOUS! read more

Great selection of flavors, it was hard to choose! All of the flavors we've tried have been amazing but our favorite is the Wild Mountain Blackberry. The employees were very friendly and quick. Also loved the outdoor seating area, we didn't stay to eat but it was very cute! We will definitely be back! read more

A pleasant little stand, reminds me of drive in movie walk ups (yes I'm old enough). We clearly haven't been out for ice cream in a long time. We spent $16 for 2 small cones, tasty, but yikes. I guess I looked at the menu and the prices just didn't register until the young lady said it out loud. The menu is also a bit busy, I guess for a local/regular you know what you want so not a big deal. My on negative (more of a nuisance), there was no way to wash your hands after ice cream melts all over you. No restroom at a food place with seating (nice metal bench tables under an awning on side of building) seems odd. Must be a PA zoning thing. I understand business owner benefit, but not very welcoming. read more

Amazing ice cream and so many options!!! I get one of the flavors from the Penn state creamery selection and it's always so so good. Ellie helped me and was so sweet, she was patient while we debated all of our choices. She was the 'cherry on top' of our ice cream outing Overall great experience and would highly recommend to to anyone in the Mount Joy area. read more

Go here if you want some simple ice cream. The building is really cute, they have a drive through and a window, as well as a little seating area. I love how it's not overly fancy. Get a root beer float. read more

Love the Grilled Stickies flavor !! Staff is friendly and pleasant. Large selection of flavors

Great spot for ice cream! Came here when I was in town with my daughter and niece. There are so many flavors to choose from, and so many different toppings. The ice cream tasted so fresh and was so tasty. The portion sizes were huge and my daughter could barely finish hers. I would deff come back when in town. read more

Excellent soft serve ice cream. This is a roadside stand with a large selection of things you would expect and a few things that are surprises. If I lived nearby, I would be here several times a week! read more

This is now my favorite little spot to get ice cream. Good selection of different ice creams. Even Penn State Creamery ice cream- yum! You pay a little more for PSU ice cream but worth it. They do run out of some of those flavors so go early. The ice cream is delish and not like other places where it taste like freezer burn. The have plenty of spots to sit and enjoy the ice cream. Tables, chairs and coverage from the sun. It's in a funky location across from Weis and between a car wash?? Be careful with little kids. read more

Little Dippers is a MUST try if you are in the Mount Joy area. They feature Penn State Creamery ice cream, and it is phenomenal. Some of the best flavors of ice cream I have ever tried. I have not had a flavor that I have absolutely loved. I also love to get their "blend-ins", which features soft serve ice cream (vanilla or chocolate) with a topping of your choice blended in. I usually order a chocolate chip cookie dough blend-in, and I am never disappointed. The staff is always extremely friendly and willing to help. We once ordered several half gallons of ice cream, but they were out of some flavors. However, they offered to hand scoop them for us. While it took some time for them to do that (which I understand), they were more than happy to do it for us which was greatly appreciated. I will be a repeat customer for sure! read more

I'm very lucky to have Little Dipper's (LD) so close to my place. Back in Virginia, it was difficult to find ice cream shoppes. LD is the perfect place for your ice cream cravings. They serve Turkey Hill and Penn State Creamery. They also have soft serve and Italian ice. They have a large outdoor seating area and even a drive-thru. Plenty of parking. And the girls who work there are always friendly. It's open roughly from April-October so plenty of time to enjoy the delicious ice cream at LD. The serving sizes are enormous but thankfully they also have a kiddie size. read more

On our way back to NY, we stopped by this little drive thru ice cream shop. Boy, did we do the smart thing here. I got the coffee breakup ice cream 2.5 scoops and my wife got the peach ice cream with pineapple topping. We both savored our ice cream to the last drop and you can taste the love and freshness of the ingredients. Absolute delish with yummy bits for sure. This is an amazing place and the staffs working there are top notch! read more

We were visiting our family in Mount Joy and every time we come here we always visit Little Dippers. The ice cream is delicious and they have lots of great choices. Unfortunately this time I think the staff were slightly off. For starters a few of our orders were wrong and had to be corrected. Then, I ordered a chocolate soft serve cone with chocolate sprinkles and it had a hair in it so I went back up to the counter to ask them to remake it. A young girl remade it for me but this time with vanilla ice cream. I told her that I had ordered chocolate not vanilla and asked if she can please give it to me with chocolate ice cream. She rolled her eyes and gave me an attitude. I'm not one to ever return food even if it's wrong so it bothered me that she gave me an attitude not only for having a hair in my ice cream but because she gave me vanilla when I had ordered chocolate. While the ice cream was good, the service was not on this particular evening. I have come before and never had any issues with staff in the past. I would still come back even though this particular visit was not one of our better ones. read more

Seriously best ice cream in the area! The staff is quick and friendly the portions are great and I'm always satisfied. Grilled stickies is my favorite flavor :) well worth the wait there is usually a line and for good reason. read more

Popular place in our town for icecream! The wait is long in the late evening but that's good for them. They give you big scoops of icecream and have friendly service. read more

Quick and friendly service every time we've stopped there. And the ice cream is great!

Great little spot to stop for some ice cream with friends and family. We ordered two blend-ins that were very good, and my friend got the vegan berry which is awesome they have options like this for people. I would stop again. read more

Huge portions! Smalls are like larges here, so downsize your order. The soft serve and water ice are must haves!

This is a seasonal business open during the warm months and closing over the winter. Our family watches the sign like crazy-people when the weather warms up to see when it opens. Delicious ice cream, many options and very affordable. They have free mini cones for kids under a certain height which makes our trip even more affordable and is a better portion for small ones. Delicious. Great staff. Our favorite! We are moving this year and will miss this place dearly. read more

Great little ice cream shop! Their portion sizes are generous and the kid's dish is the perfect size. I had a chocolate milkshake that was delicious! Lots of ice cream flavors and toppings to choose from - should make everyone happy! They have a nice seating area with plenty of tables...drive thru is a nice option, too. Will take cash or cards. Only open during warmer months! We'll be back! read more

We found our new goto ice cream spot. Penn State Creamery ice cream is awesome. I read the reviews but now I can confirm them. I went with death by chocolate because I am a chocoholic. What else can I do? It was gone by the time I got home. My wife went with the joy joy (think almond joy) ice cream and that was amazing also. Not overly sweet like the candy bar with almond bits. I can't wait to go back and try something else. read more

First time having Penn state ice cream....death by chocolate......wow!!! Was told they can't combine flavors but no biggie I'll come back to try the other flavor another day! read more

Came here a little after 8:00pm today and the the service from start to finish was below par. The girls only got 1 out of 4 orders correct and not mention, they need to learn some customer "friendly" service. The only reason whey I gave you 2 stars was cause my wife told me I have to be nice. Next time I'll pay the extra money for flavored ice at Ritas read more

My family moved to Mt. Joy 7 1/2 years ago. Tonight we had a craving for Ice Cream, but we didn't want Frozen custard, or ice milk as served by the nearby chains. So we decided to try Little Dippers for the first time. We have family in lake Hopatcong, New Jersey near Jefferson Township. On Rt 15 West there is an ice cream shop called Jefferson Dairy. Until now, I thought they had the best soft serve ice cream. I also spent a summer in my mid 20's driving a soft serve ice cream truck. That ice cream was good, but not great. Little Dippers BLOWS AWAY any ice cream truck! We have been driving by this little ice cream place for 7 1/2 YEARS! Big mistake! Huge! This little place has the BEST ice cream around! I had a simple hot fudge sundae with vanilla soft serve, nuts, whipped cream, and of course, the all important cherry on top! My wife had a Blend-in and my son had a simple dish of soft serve vanilla. The young ladies at the window were quick and friendly and did a great job! The pricing was very reasonable as well. WHY HAVE WE IGNORED THIS PLACE FOR SO LONG!?!?!? In short: Great ice cream! Done right! Great service! Great Prices! WE WILL RETURN AGAIN AND AGAIN! read more

Little Dipper's has a wide variety of hard ice cream flavors, as well as soft serve and Italian ice! Servings are very big and the girls behind the counter are always friendly! Nice little patio and tent set up to enjoy your dessert outdoors! Recommend to anyone in or around Mount Joy! read more

I went with a group of friends and ordered a mint ice cream waffle cone. When I got to the bottom of the cone and went to eat the ice cream, I notice a white clump sitting at the bottom. After inspecting the white clump, I noticed it was chewed gum...one of the employees, for no apparent reason, put their chewed gum at the bottom of my ice cream cone! read more

Ice cream was ok, nothing special. Italian ice was mediocre. What earned it the 1-star rating was refusing to provide customers with a cup of tap water. The only water available for my 8-year old was bottled water for sale. That's a new low in my experience. read more
