Silver Dipper Ice Cream

So it is 2015 and the only forms of payment this place takes are cash and checks. Who even carries checks with them anymore? Would it kill you to accept debit or credit card. Suck it up and go to Best Buy and get a square reader to accept payments from the 80% of civilization that doesn’t carry cash anymore.
As for the ice cream I have no idea what it tastes like because they didn’t want my money.

This is good, but a little over-​hyped locally. It’s tasty but far from the best ice cream I’ve ever had. I had the caramel apple pie (cinnamon ice cream with chunks of apple, shortbread and caramel sauce), which was yummy and unique without being super weird. I wasn’t super impressed with their famous Zanzibar chocolate, but I only tried a small sample. It’s cash only, which is annoying.

We love this place. We can walk or ride our bikes. The staff is terrific, especially Kelsey. Good value, do bring cash!

A large selection of flavors at decent prices in a clean store wIth friendly servers. That’s about as much as you could ask for.

Since Snowbear closed we decided to try the Silver Dipper. Very glad we did. Great ice cream and decent prices. The only thing I don’t like is that they don’t accept cards. It’s cash or check only. Who does that anymore?

This is the «uptown» outpost of a locally owned establishment, with slightly shorter hours, but the same helping of creamy, luscious, melt-​in-​your-​mouth Wisconsin dairy goodness. We’re talking serious ice cream here, folks.
The selection is really good, with something for anyone, I’d wager. Whether you’re a plain vanilla kind of guy, or a heretic who piles everything but the kitchen sink into their mix, Silver Dipper’s probably got you covered. There’s sherbets, sorbets, fruits (strawberry, cherry, banana), nuts (pistachio, walnut, peanut), even the Blue Moon, which takes just like Froot Loop milk. Yep, ice cream that tastes like the oddly colored milk that remains in your bowl after consuming the aforementioned Loops. My kids love it, go figure.
And they even have «No Sugar Added» flavors, so you can bring your friends who need to watch their glycemic intake.
But most deserving of special mention is the Zanzibar Chocolate. This bears the same relationship to all previous chocolate ice creams the same way pure vanilla extract trumps those ersatz vanilla flavorings hands-​down. Enough talking. Go get some now!
(Bring cash or checks; the Dipper doesn’t do plastic).
