Big Dipper Ice Cream

Flavorful and sturdy. ✨
I went here with my aunt and her two girls (3 and 5). They let my try multiple different flavors, and I ended up getting a half scoop of each in a single cup which ended up just being a scoop of each. I got Mango Sorbet (which is a special right now) and Coconut and it's really good 😋. My cousins' got a kids cone of chocolote and one of cotton candy with rainbow sprinkles🍦. At first I was scared they would fall off the cones but they are very balanced.
I would definitely come here again and they had seating upstairs.

A classic Montana staple. This location is fun and very convient. They also sells pints here for $7 if you’d like tot take some home.
This was the best waffle cone I’ve ever had. I love their seasonal flavors and everyone has a smile on their face.

There’s a reason they call it Big Dipper and it’s not just for the long line; the flavors are big! If you show up and there’s a line just wait. There are plenty of good flavors to order. Order and come back if you want to try them all. A must stop if you like ice cream!

Best ice cream in Helena. The standard flavor are wonderful especially the salted caramel. I also appreciate the rotating flavors throughout the year and the waffle cones. The staff is also friendly and helpful when trying to make decisions on what type of ice cream to get.

Incredible ice cream!

Really not that much to say on this one. Great ice cream with a ton of fun flavors. Friendly employees. Fair prices. Clean, neat storefront. Try the cardamom, it is shockingly good. I went 3 times in as many days. I tried a cardamom shake with chai substituted for milk and it was also great. Must try if you are in Helena!

A great hand-scooped local ice cream shop in downtown. Their waffle cones are amazing! A must have while in town!

Fun, busy ice cream shop in downtown Helena. Friendly service and delicious ice cream. Don’t miss the huckleberry ice cream!

This is easily the best ice cream shop in Helena. The huckleberry ice cream is absolutely phenomenal. Any trip to the walking mall has to include a trip to Big Dipper.

My favorite place in town to get ice cream! The monthly / seasonal selections always have something for someone! I wish the lavender honey flavor was year round!

This place is so good, we’ll drive 135 miles one way away to have a scoop or two. Always worth the drive and the wait in line. Service is always fast and friendly, which is the cherry on top!!

The best waffle cone 🍦 100% recommend this little ice cream shop to anyone who hasn’t stopped in before. My personal favorite is the mocha chip!

Visited this cute establishment on a hot summer day and it was exactly what we needed! Good selection of ice cream flavours and milkshakes! Definitely recommend.

A very good local ice cream shop. They also sell pints here to take home.

So we where having trouble ordering online and the staff helped us get it through because my wife had foot surgery and I was working. They even sent a get well soon note for her. We really appreciate you guys so much!!!!

Full disclose...I am a slave to all things ice cream. I just finished a great meal and was looking for something sweet and this place popped up. Any chance you get to eat homemade artisan ice cream, stop whatever you are doing and get some. This is that kind of place. Simple flavors done right. I got maple walnut. Dreamy good with a just soft enough consistency. Outstanding way to cap off the day!

Best shakes we had during our month stay in the states. Fast service and great flavors.

Super cute location with flavorful ice cream!

Huckleberry perfection ang friendly staff.

Fantastic little local joint serving ice cream and milkshakes! Great vibe! Great ice cream! Really cool downtown scene. If I was local this would be a favorite.

I love this place. Is obvious that is also a destination of many families, and Carroll college students. I like to have my string orchestras perform on the sidewalk in the downtown mall in front of the Big Dipper. It is a nice place to share our music with the patrons of the Big Dipper Ice Cream Shop . I would highly recommend this as a treat when here in town.
