The Dip is hands down one of the absolute best summer traditions in Fairfield! The bright, nostalgic walk-up stand vibe always brings an immediate smile to your face. Their soft serve is incredibly creamy, and you absolutely cannot leave without getting one of their legendary dipped cones or a custom cyclone. The lines can get long on a warm evening, but the staff works so hard and always serves everyone with a fast, friendly, and joyful spirit. It is a beautiful, wholesome local treasure that makes our community feel so sweet! read more

Great! Been coming here since I was a kid. I'd get the apple dumpling with vanilla ice cream. The other food is very good too.

We love The Dip. The service is always great . Love the drive thru . Highly recommend topping your twist cone with the Belgian chocolate sprinkles !! read more

The Dip is a step up from your average neighborhood ice cream spot because they have a DRIVE THRU. Super convenient and amazing for hot days when you don't want to leave the AC for your sweet treat. I went recently with my husband and we shared a soft serve slush float. It was a blue slush with vanilla ice cream. Too sweet for me, but my husband liked it (though he said he wished the slush would've been a bit more tart for some balance.) There are plenty of picnic tables and a large pavillion to stand under. There is also ample parking. Staff are friendly and work quickly. read more

Can't find anything to complain about. Great ice cream, food, and service. Always have clean tables and the area around it is clean. We really enjoy going to the dip read more

I am so obsessed with this place! They are so good in every way. They offer walk-up and drive-thru. Also, the staff are quick and friendly. They are always adding new flavors, and every one tastes great. You can't go wrong! read more

Very good ice cream! The service was very quick and friendly. I ordered the "Almond Joy Sundae" and it was delish! Ice cream reminded me of Dairy Queen, but homestyle quality. Very cute place to go talk and enjoy a sweet treat! read more

The best ice cream in Fairfield is at The Dip. It has many different flavors. They have Dole Whip. Isn't that all you need to know? They also take cards, it's not cash only. It has lots of flavors. Each month they change them. They make all kinds of creative specialties too. A Hurricane is their version of a Blizzard. This is ice cream mixed with candy. I had the lemon Dole Whip. This is $3 for the medium size. It was actually pretty big. They didn't skimp on this. It's something they're known to do. They are often inconsistent in sizes. It was nice to get what I paid for. They also have other flavors of sorbet. It's one of the nicer places for ice cream. It has a covered patio and seating. Very cool in hot weather. read more

I would give The Dip six stars if I could! I grew up in Fairfield and every single time I go to The Dip I leave with a smile on my face. Their ice cream is delicious, their service is unmatched, and every single person who works there is so sweet and helpful. We've actually made it a tradition to get their banana splits every first day of summer :) I also HIGHLY recommend the PB Treat and the Black Cherry Flavorbursts. Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't give them a huge shout out for COMPLETELY saving my St. Patrick's Day today! To the woman with the St. Patrick's Day earrings who made us those delicious shamrock shakes, you went above and beyond! Thank you. read more

AMAZING ice cream! My go to is the Dole Orange & Vanilla twist! The workers are always so sweet and the service is always fast. They also have a drive-thru that is always movin'! If you're wanting to sit outside and enjoy your treat, they have picnic tables for families to sit, as well! read more

Stumbled upon this place on Memorial Day and it was the perfect stop for a mid day treat. The workers were friendly and patient as we looked over the menu to figure out what we wanted. There are so many different flavor combinations and treats to choose from. After considering the shakes, smoothies, sundaes, cones and burgers, chips and hot dogs, we settled on a swirl cone with crunch coating, 2 chili cheese dogs and an apple dumpling sundae. All that for $12 was a pretty good deal! The apple dumpling sundae was warm and crunchy and at the same time cool and comforting. Highly recommend and suggest you ask for extra cinnamon if that flavor is what you are looking for in this item. The chili on the chili cheese dogs is a traditional flavor and not the sweeter and more liquid-y Cincinnati chili style just in case you expected that. I can't wait to come back here although it is quite far from where I live, if I was in the area I would return just to order the chai smoothie because that's an item I've never seen on any other ice cream stands menu and it sounded so delicious! read more

We all loved the The Dip. The flavors were vivid. There was so much of the flavoring in the flavorbursts, that it seemed to drip out from the sides. The Dole pineapple whip was as refreshing as a frosty cold glass of pineapple juice. Along with the posted menu flavors there were two special flavors. There is more that just frozen yogurt/ creamy whips here. There are shakes, frozen cheese cake and floats. I did not notice if they had hot foods. The service was polite, and friendly. Items were up quickly. There is both a walk up window, and a drive up widow. The parking lot is larger than many creamy whips I have been to. Picnic tables, chairs and a grass area are all available to eat at. The only thing keeping me from giving them 5 stars is the drastically inconsistent sizing. My small was smaller than two of my children's kid's cones. Another kid's cone was half the size of the other two kid's cones. Since that was the choice of the eldest child, it was very dissapointing for him. While we will probably visit again, if in the area, the inconsistencies in size were really noticable. read more

Try the caramel apple dumpling! Delish. We love the shakes, soft serve, even the food is good. It's easy to go there, order and eat. They have both walk up and drive through. I'd recommend going on a weekday, on the weekends, there are lines wrapped around for both walk up and drive through. read more

Drive thru was fairly quick. The ice cream was really thick and filling for soft serve. However, for me the flavor was a little lacking. Also, my wife got a hurricane with Reese's and something else in it. And it only had a small sprinkling of the toppings on top. None mixed into it. Very disappointing. I'd love to give them a second chance some time, but there are better options so we probably won't. read more

I love the dip, they have great ice cream and their team is always fast and thorough! Also, the drive through is fun and unique. They did fall short on my burger, I added lettuce and it was evident that they microwaved they lettuce with the burger. It made it very gross and soggy. I'm not mad, their ice cream is great, but I don't recommend the burger. read more

Honestly, this is going to be a simple and straight to the point review. The ice cream is good quality with low to affordable prices. It's a quick stop and go type of ice cream place, in which it offers a drive thru or you can park and order instead. I got the black raspberry ice cream and it was actually good. It tasted like vanilla with a slight lemon taste! One of Fairfield's hidden gems! read more

I've only been to the Dip once and I definitely want to head over there again. They have an interesting selection and the prices are reasonable. I ordered a flavored vanilla cone that was a larger size than I expected. If you order a flavored cone, you get to pick from several types. I chose cotton candy, because let's face it... the only thing better than cotton candy itself is COTTON CANDY FLAVORED ICE CREAM!!! NOM!!!! They give you a vanilla cone and each edge is covered with the flavoring of your choice. It was good, but I do wish the taste had been more potent. Now my mom got a twist cone, with the vanilla and chocolate swirl and I tell you what, that chocolate was some of the most delicious and smooth chocolatey bliss I've ever tasted. YUM! They have the normal cones, sundaes, cyclones etc. The prices are great, and my favorite part is that they have a huge cement patio shaped like a circle, with some slowly gyrating ceiling fans just overhead to keep you and your tasty treat nice and cool. If you prefer the sunshine, they have a few picnic tables so can enjoy the heat. Either way, this place is a great little ice cream joint. I'll definitely return for more deliciousness. read more

Good soft-serve ice cream with a pleasant, spacious area to eat under a gazebo. Previous review noted that they don't accept credit cards, but they did when I was there. read more

This, as I mentioned in my other review for Cassano's Pizza is one of the other reasons why I love living in Fairfield. The Dip is a really cute ice cream stand at the corner of Gelhot and Pleasant. Chances are, if you've driven down Pleasant Ave towards Hamilton, you've seen it. Next time, stop. But make sure if you do, that you have cash. That's right, the reason for withholding that 5th and final star lies right there- the fact that they are cash only. There have been so many times that I've wanted to stop for a cone or a hurricane (their version of a blizzard or flurry- ice cream with chunks of candy mixed in! YUM) and have had to keep rolling because I had no cash. The prices are very reasonable, and the portions are HUGE. A small is way more than enough for me, and a medium feels like a meal. I've never been brave enough to order a large. They have awesome flavors, which rotate monthly, some of my favorites are Blueberry and Cake Mix. If you are in Fairfield stop by for a Dip. Well, actually it's soft serve, so I don't know where they got the name. ;) read more

Super friendly and very smooth, creamy ice cream. Love taking my family there on a hot summer day. Plus, they gotta drive-thru. Oh yeah!!!

OH MY GOD. so basically the dip has anything you could think of from Cotton candy to banana splits. And at high quality and low cost would recommend. read more

The dip has a overwhelming number of items and ice cream variations to choose from. Today because it is fall I got the pumpkin flavor ice cream dipped in chocolate. I love pumpkin flavor and it was good. They usually have a flavor or two of frozen yogurt for the lactose intolerant. Nice big patio to sit under in the shade. They also have a drive thru if you prefer some ice cream on the go. The staff is usually friendly. I hope to try something different each time. read more

I absolutely love the dip with the exception of one thing,They are very inconsistent with the size of their cones. One time they will be a good size and the next time they will be very different . If I wanted a small or medium I would order that. We always order large and it would be nice to get what we pay for.If it weren't for that I would give them an excellent rating read more

Love coming here on a nice sunny day! Not many ice cream flavor options but lots of yummy toppings and sauces. Their hot mett is very good too!!! Grass area with tables or sit under the gazebo read more

I started coming here the year it opened. The ice cream is a great quality. Great taste and texture. The prices are very reasonable. A great place to hang out on a warm summer's night! read more

We have always had excellent service here from the young emoloyees. I wish I had paid attention to the name of the young man who worked on Labor Day. He was "Chic Fil A" kind-of-friendly and helpful. We love the location of the Dip (walking distance for us!)and, of course, all the sweet offerings. read more

Good soft serve but ridiculously overpriced. Got 2 small cone for $2.50 each (plus $.50 for a tiny bit of flavor added on one) and thought they had made a mistake and given me a kiddie sizes. Thankfully we have Norwood Whippy Dip and Newtown Dairy Corner which are better and closer to home! read more

My family and I love coming here during open season! Friendly service! Yummy ice cream!

Fun place to go on a nice day... Very good creamy whip... The cake batter ice cream is my personal favorite.

My favorite local ice cream joint. Has so many different options to choose from and is probably one of my favorite places to be during the summertime! My favorite has to be a classic come with vanilla and chocolate ice cream swirl with rainbow sprinkles! I definitely recommend you check it out! read more

First time coming tonight. Delicious soft serve! Also very cute area to sit at and staff was very friendly. We will for sure come back!!

The dip has delicious soft serve and sandwiches. The smoothies are awesome, real fruit. Now they do take credit, so Jennifer D can eat it every day. And yes, it is one of many great reasons for living in Fairfield. read more

Stopped by here instead of my regular shop. I wish I didn't. The Strawberry Shortcake I got was disgusting. First, there were no strawberries. I'm not sure if the machines need cleaned from the long winter, but the ice cream was kinda..off. Not exactly sour, but not fresh. And the "Shortcake", they should've provided a knife. It was tough, like a over cooked steak, and crispy. When I turned it sideways, it looked like a wafer. Hollowed out flat, hard disc. The strawberry syrup, no. Just no.I can't even say the syrup ruined it, the shortcake; oh how I love shortcake. I'm not even sure the birds outside would've ate it. I pitched it. What a waste of money. I will stick to The Goody Shop. My son did like his soft serve, though he said the workers were like robots. Not very personable. Oh well, lesson learned. read more
