Burlingame Dairy Dip

I love coming to the Dairy Dip, the ice cream is great! I know they are under new ownership now. But Hopefully the owner will get this message. Closing at 9 pm is way to early for the Wyoming Community. I drive past around 9 pm a lot and there is always a line still and I see the girls are working in the dark to discourage more customers to get in line. This is really unsafe for the employees of the Dairy Dip or whatever the future name of the ice cream shop on Burlingame and 36^th. For me this has discouraged my husband and I to come as often as we use too, because we can not make it now on most nights.

Wow! Awesome ice cream, friendly service & super reasonable prices! Can’t wait to visit again.

I love this place! The location is perfect since i live 2 miles away. And the service is always friendly!!! However, I think they need to invest in accepting credit cards! lm not one to carry cash often and I feel silly writing a check for ice cream!

Every time I go to Michigan, Rivertown Mall and Dairy Dip both hold great memories for me. Im from California and there are a lot of ice cream joints nearby where I live. Dairy Dip is my personal favorite, over the overhyped CREAM. Its been years since I have tried this place but I remember the banana split that I got, I remember digging in like there was no tomorrow. I remember the huge line that I had to wait patiently in (a good sign). The atmosphere was cool and silent, peaceful for your ice cream chowdown. The concept of a giant ice cream stand gives you the classic carnival feel to it. I dont know if that’s something common in Michigan but I sure like it. Turtle Sundae is a must have besides the banana split. I am going back to Michigan very soon to visit my cousins and I sure am looking forward to coming back for my ice cream fix!

A staple in Wyoming. Best ice cream shop around — good prices, good serving sizes, the owners are awesome, and service is always good. Parking can be a pain, and the lines are almost always long, but the good things in life never do come easy! This place is well worth the wait.
My only complaint is that it’s not open year-​round. I’d prefer this over Coldstone any day.

This is a great place to grab a frozen treat! They are open seasonally so closed till spring:(This place is a Wyoming city institution it has been there as long as I can remember 36 years. Lines are long on those hot summer night but they are open late. I go after most of the little kiddies have gone to bed.

Whenever I come home to visit this is one of my «must go to» spots (in the summer anyhow)!
Pros:
–lots of great Hudsonville ice cream flavors and many options for those who want other treats (sundaes, splits, shakes, etc)
–love supporting a local family owned business! This shop always supported our high school yearbook by buying ads :)
–picnic tables located in the back/​side
–well priced
Cons:
–parking can be a pain, especially when they are busy (which is pretty often)
–they aren’t open all year round. I knooooow this isn’t really a con since it is true of most all ice cream shops… but I really would come all year round!

This is your basic been there forever ice cream shop, everyone goes there as much for memories as the ice cream itself, which is probably the best of all the stands in the area. This place get’s 5 stars for their service and being a Wyoming institution.

After having gone to Doozies in Mt Pleasant many times while living there, the Dairy DIp falls short. The cups here are bigger, but they also cost more. They have a good selection of add ins for the Flurries, but the Doozies definitely has a lot more.
So far so good. We have to get used to their menu since we are now living less than 5 minutes away.

The greatest thing about the Dairy Dip and other 5 star places is you know what you are going to get. The Dairy Dip makes me think Summer in the Midwest. I’ve ate ice cream all over this great land and the Dairy Dip is a great example of my favorite places to visit for frozen treats.
Hudsonville Ice Cream takes the cake, I’m 28 and still love Superman flavor. Yesterday night it was Cookie and Cream and Mackinaw Island Fudge on a regular cone, the wife had a soft serve vanilla dipped in chocolate. Old stand bys make me happy and the Burlingame Dairy Dip will make you happy.
Tips: The line moves quickly and people watching is even more fun when they are eating ice cream, take extra napkins and a spoon so you can try others choices, the 2 parking spots right on 36^th St. can be parked next to making room for 4 cars. And always tip handsomely.

I grew up a mile from the Dairy Dip and attended Wyoming Public Schools. In translation, this means I’ve probably spent more money on ice cream here than on a year’s worth of groceries. I rode my bike to the DD, got my scoop of bubble gum ice cream, and attempted to ride home with ice cream cone many times through elementary and middle school. Some successful, some not. I came with my car at night and hung out with every other sixteen year old from Rogers or Wyoming Park while in high school. I visited on ice cream dates all through college to catch up with former high school classmates and friends.
And now, here I am, living in a big city far from Michigan. We have organic, house-​made, locally sourced ice cream, gelato, and sorbet. With home-​made ice cream cones that have little candy surprises in the bottom to hold the ice cream in.
And you know what? I’d prefer a great big scoop of Hudsonville ice cream any day. I’m 24 years old and I still prefer superman flavor. Which, by the way, doesn’t exist here. Neither do small mom-​and-​pop ice cream shops. We have a plethora, though, of hip, trendy places to get froufrou cold desserts.
Another thing that doesn’t exist here? Ice cream for under five dollars. It costs an arm and a leg to get an ice cream cone in this city. I went back to Michigan recently and had a fantastic single scoop for a whopping dollar and some change. It was fantastic.
And so I salute you, Burlingame Dairy Dip, as the ice cream shop to which I compare all other ice cream shops. Things there have not changed since I was a child, and that is the way an ice cream shop shoud be.
