Reviews for The Big Dipper in Escalon, CA
Love this place. Delicious ice cream. The banana, coffee, and grasshopper ones are our favorites. Wish they always carried... these. Read more
Great little ice cream place filled with treasures from Stanislaus and San Joaquin counties. My sundae was perfect as we sat... outside blowing bubbles and making chalk drawings. Read more
Ice cream tastes like what you can buy at the grocery store, and service is very slow. Fruit in the milkshakes is fresh, which... is great, but the chunks are much too big to go into a straw so it's a little strangely executed. Sadly the store also does nothave its own mask mandate despite the ongoing Delta surge, and the locals don't choose to wear masks, so if you haveunvaccinated kids they are forced to be exposed inside a small crowded to strangers without masks, or else the kids have to waitoutside. They do have nice chalk outside for kids to play with, which is thoughtful. Read more
This place used to be so fun to meet up,have some lunch and a sweet treat. They no longer serve sandwiches, snacks. I don't... believe the ice cream is house made anymore. That was a great selling point before. They sell some local things ( nuts,bacon,cooking oil,little gifts.) It's nice but not sure I'll be going back though. I will say the workers were friendly and helpful. Read more
The location can be difficult to get in/out of when Jackson Avenue is busy (which it often is.) The ice creams are made onsite... and while a limited variety, there are often some interesting flavors. Prices are a bit high for what you get. They have abistro menu, but I've never seen anyone ordering from it. The staff are usually nice and helpful, but sometimes they seem to befar busier chatting with each other rather than helping customers. Read more
Delicious ice cream and sandwiches! Cute store front and great customer service.
Amazing stop for quick bites before Yosemite.???? Loved their Chicken Parmesan sandwich and homemade icecream.
Great little ice cream store right there in Escalon! My grandson and I try to go there on Fridays- making it a special day to... end the week. They also have some specialty items for purchase. Read more
