The Best Hand-Dipped Ice Cream in Western North Carolina
When you're craving a sweet treat that brings back memories of summer days and family gatherings, Jack The Dipper is your destination for premium hand-dipped ice cream across Western North Carolina. For over 10 years, we've been serving families in Bryson City, Sylva, Waynesville, and Franklin with more flavors than any other ice cream parlor in the region. Every scoop is hand-dipped with love, served in warm waffle cones fresh off the press, creating that perfect combination of creamy ice cream and crispy cone that makes every visit feel like coming home to grandma's house.
More Flavors Than Anywhere Else in WNC
Walk into any Jack The Dipper location and prepare to be amazed by our extensive flavor selection. We pride ourselves on offering more ice cream flavors than any other shop in Western North Carolina, ensuring there's always something new to discover alongside your tried-and-true favorites. Our flavor cases are filled with colorful, creamy options that range from traditional favorites to unique seasonal specialties.
We rotate our flavors regularly to keep things exciting and celebrate the changing seasons. Spring might bring fresh strawberry and lemon sorbet, while fall welcomes pumpkin spice and apple crisp flavors. This commitment to variety means you could visit us every week and still find something new to try. Our staff loves helping customers navigate the options, offering samples so you can find your perfect match.
For the adventurous ice cream lover, we create specialty flavors that showcase local ingredients and creative combinations. Think lavender honey, bourbon butter pecan, or salted caramel pretzel – flavors that tell a story and make your taste buds dance. And for the traditionalists, we always have the classics done right, with rich chocolate, creamy vanilla, and perfect strawberry that taste just like you remember.
Hand-Dipped Excellence in Fresh Waffle Cones
The secret to truly exceptional ice cream isn't just about the flavors – it's about the entire experience. That's why every scoop at Jack The Dipper is hand-dipped by our trained staff who understand that the perfect scoop is an art form. We take the time to pack your cone generously, ensuring you get real value and genuine satisfaction with every visit. You'll never find soft-serve machines in our shops because we believe in doing things the traditional way.
Our warm waffle cones are legendary throughout Western North Carolina. Made fresh throughout the day, these golden, crispy cones fill our shops with an irresistible aroma that draws people in from the street. The contrast between the warm, slightly sweet cone and the cold, creamy ice cream creates a sensory experience that simply can't be replicated with a regular cone or cup. It's one of those simple pleasures that makes life a little sweeter.
If waffle cones aren't your style, we offer plenty of other options including sugar cones, cups, and even sundaes piled high with toppings. Our toppings bar features everything from hot fudge and caramel sauce to fresh whipped cream, sprinkles, and cherries. Build your perfect treat exactly the way you want it, or ask our staff for their favorite combinations.
