Big Dipper Ice Cream

A nice hidden gem in Wayland. They have large portions for the price. The ice cream is delicious & a small ice cream is 3 scoops! They have a wide variety of fun shakes & a delicious Butter Beer shake yummy!

My family and I stopped by there last night after dinner. The employees working were very kind, but let us know that they were actually already closed. As we were walking away, a woman approached us, and overheard us talking about us showing up too late. She was the owner, and insisted on opening back up for us. She just asked that we give her a few minutes so she could get her employees finished up and on their way home-they were both teenagers and it was a school night.

She helped them wrap up, then took our orders and served our ice cream herself.

We were so touched by not only her willingness to help us out, but also her care and concern for her employees. It would have been very easy for her to not say anything, or let us continue on our way, and all of our nights would have continued as normal, but she went out of her way to make sure that we had a good experience.

Little Dipper celebrating his birthday at Big Dipper! Loved the pup cup!

We had the Big Dipper Ice Cream wagon out at Grand Rapids H-D. The service was great and ice cream was much needed on that hot of a day. Thanks Taylor for being Awesome.

Outside old school but yet modern good ice cream

The coffee is so good! I've gotten their Hot Carmel Latte twice and it was consistently delicious! It was a bit of a wait but I'm willing to wait for good coffee!

They're always fast and friendly here. Easy parking, a fun menu and convenient picnic tables make it easy to bring the kids. The city park is only a block away too! Hopefully next year they'll add umbrellas and make the seating area on the asphalt more tolerable on hot days!

Great little local ice cream shop. Always busy but they are great.

It's would be hard to dislike any ice cream place, friendly service and goes without saying ice cream was delicious

Amazing staff! All the workers are wonderful and the owner Taylor is a true inspiration. All of their items are awesome. Highly recommend!

The staff are very friendly and nice. They have a great selection of frozen treats and beverages to cool off in the heat of summer. Must stop by and see for yourself. So yummy 😋

Best ice cream, whenever I go to a different ice cream establishment I always use this as the comparison. The only one that compares to this place is Kalamazoo ice cream. But I dont have any childhood memories there. When I was in elementary school they'd always take us here as a treat.

My absolutely favorite ice cream place .it takes the cake AND the ice cream lol love it here .

Amazing staff!!! Love all the ice cream and coffee is super!!

One of the best ice cream shops in Michigan, it has a variety of choices in the soft serve section, great for kids

Service is good and what more can you say about an ice cream joint. Great place to grab ice cream for the kids

Great place and now open year round. I will the owners good luck.

How can you not like your local home neighborhood Ice Cream Shoppe although they have good prices obviously great ice cream and would recommend it.

Now this is how you ice cream. Everything is bedazzled with toppings. Servings are big. And they'll mix up anything you can think of.

Wow. Fun little ice cream place. Great ice cream and sundaes
