Myself and my family have been going to Kip’s for over a decade and it’s just as delicious and nostalgic as the day we first visited. Bonus points if you’re an animal lover like us, and it’s always a fun thing to look at the various mementos on the wall while enjoying your ice cream!

**About the Place:** This ice cream place is clean with friendly staff. They only accept cash, but conveniently have an ATM inside. **About the Food:** We tried the black raspberry and butter pecan ice creams. Both were creamy and not too sweet. The black raspberry was particularly amazing, and the butter pecan was good too. **Overall Experience:** Overall, a delightful spot for ice cream lovers, despite the cash-only policy.

The flavor combos never disappoint. Had PB chocolate (a darker chocolate woth peanut butter swirls) YUM. This single was $3.50. They're cash only. Update: I go every few months and they are consistently delicious. Tried lemon blueberry today. Solid choice.

I came here for the first time with some former RMU students, and they DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Zoe, who helped me, was so sweet (no pun intended) and patient in answering my questions. Good ice cream, great staff, great environment!!! I'll be back again.

Went here after looking at an apartment with my kid. He really wanted to stop by. They are only cash but have an ATM on site. Was greeted right when we walked in and it smelled so sweet. They make all their own icecream in shop which is so nice! My son got the cookie and cream which he absolutely loved and I got the toffee iced coffee. I am Gluten free so I couldn't try his ice cream but it looked yummy. I was really in the mood for a vanilla with Reese cups in it but the lady told me that they didnt make that flavor today so that's why I got the coffee and it was delicious! Im not sure what whipped cream they used but it was AMAZING!
