Big Dipper Creamery in North Oaks is a fantastic spot for anyone who loves high-quality ice cream with a wide variety of flavors. Today, I tried their brownie deluxe and pistachio combo, and both flavors were excellent—rich and satisfying. Previously, I had their brownie fudge and chocolate combo in an Oreo-dipped sugar cone, which was equally delicious. The texture and taste of the ice cream are always spot-on, and the variety of options means there’s something for everyone, including those with dietary restrictions.
The shop itself has a friendly atmosphere and is a great place to bring family or friends. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality of the ice cream and the unique flavor combinations make it worth it. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Big Dipper Creamery is definitely worth a visit!

Medium size waffle cone was a very large amount of ice cream and it was delicious. Dairy free selections on hand. Only chocolate dairy free the day I went, but it was delicious and I was happy to have something to eat that wasn’t sorbet

The ice cream here is AMAZING!!!! The cones are actually flavorful too! I’ve never had a waffle cones or sugar cones I’ve liked until I’ve been here and the sef ice was wonderful! The lady who helped us was very kind and patient, I had a few questions and she was happy to answer. She was really patient with my kids too.

When we first walked in, the workers didn’t greet us, even though they looked right at us. There was not a lot of options to choose from. We ended up ordering but the ice cream was pretty sweet and not flavorful. Not impressed, but worth a try if you want ice cream.

This ice cream shop has a great selection for people of all ages. Our granddaughter loved the Lavender flavor. There is also a nice range of dairy free flavors, much more than a couple sorbets! Excellent all around. Its worth the drive.

Lots of flavors and all are really good. The ice cream sundae is the best bang for your buck and big enough for two. The little pints are a good at home option.

The ice cream is always delicious. Both locations have a large selection of flavors. Employees are always friendly and shops are clean. Big Dipper is one of my favorite ice cream shops!

A lot of fun flavors. A tad on the pricey side for cones, so we’ve started getting pints or quarts to go. (At $8/pint, still much pricier than the grocery store, but it’s a special treat.)
They will also hand-pack them and let you add more than one flavor if they don’t have exactly what you want in the self-serve freezer.

Hand scooped ice cream with tons of variety and available flavors makes this a gem. Great selection of pints and mini-pints ready to go, too. Clean store, friendly staff, and the owner helps support the local hockey association, too!
