Whippy Dip 2
We were on the west side and wanted some ice cream along with some Erie nostalgia, so we got our fix at Whippy Dip 2!

Property Description:
This is an outdoor only ice cream stand; a perfect place to visit during those Spring and Summer Erie afternoons and evenings. You will walk up to the window to place your order, and you’ll see their extraordinary menu behind the glass surrounding the ordering windows. There are picnic tables provided in front of the stand that you can enjoy your treats at, or you can eat your food in the comfort of your car in the big parking lot to the side and behind the ice cream stand. There is ample parking here, and you could easily eat your food from the back of an SUV, in a truck bed, or even in your car with the door open.
They are open 12 p.m.-9 p.m. daily.
What to Do:
This is a perfect place to grab some soft serve ice cream, of course! This second location of Whippy Dip features many of the same amazing menu items as the original, so please check out this blog we did on the original Whippy Dip to see some of their food offerings. You can grab soft serve, Perry’s Ice Cream, milk shakes, sundaes, and even some savory favorites!
We were loving the blue moon and mint flavored soft serve. One of us got the mint oreo madness and it was the perfect combination of mint and oreo. Another one of us enjoyed the banana eclipse, which featured the blue moon soft serve.


Because we had the littles with us, we had to taste a few tried-and-true favorites. They enjoyed a watermelon slushie and a kids size blue moon ice cream cone.
We also got pretzels with cheese, which our whole family enjoyed!
Who Can Go:
Anyone can enjoy this ice cream stand in Erie, PA. Bring the kids, grandkids, or even your dogs. There are many businesses in the area, so Whippy Dip 2 would be a great place to stop for a treat after appointments or an afternoon shopping. Or, grab a treat and head to Presque Isle!
One feature we found really neat about this ice cream stand in Erie, PA is the Perry’s Ice Cream Bulk Allergen Chart that is posted right in the window. The chart will tell you every flavor of Perry’s ice cream, and if that flavor has peanuts, tree nuts, egg, wheat, soy, milk/dairy, or gluten in it. We think this is great for anyone with allergies, or anyone avoiding certain ingredients!
Final Thoughts:
Whippy Dip 2 features the same incredible menu as the original Whippy Dip, and satisfies not only the sweet tooth but also the savory tooth. If you’re on the west side at an appointment or running errands, this is a great stop to break up your day!
