Big Dipper Ice Cream

Is the Montana summer a bit hotter than you were perhaps expecting? Look no further than a classic Missoula favorite, Big Dipper Ice Cream! Founded by a Missoula couple almost thirty years ago, this little shop is the place to stop in Montana for delicious, handmade ice cream with classic flavors like Chocolate and Vanilla, less common options such as Espresso Heath and White Mint Oreo, daily rotating specials, milkshakes, sundaes, and dairy-free options. The crowd favorite however is the Huckleberry ice cream, flavored with a berry native to the area similar to a blueberry. With plenty of outdoor seating and located along Missoula’s Hip Strip, this is sure to be a family favorite, one you can even take along your journeys (they sell both hand-packed and pre-packed pints of ice cream too!).
