ICE CREAM, COFFEE

& CAKE BY THE SEA

The Dip Kiosk

 This old fashioned beach kiosk has been trading for almost a century! So it’s only right that we serve the finest hand made farmhouse ice cream, quality artisan coffee, home made cakes, sandwiches, panini’s, milkshakes, scoopshakes & more!

All made with love on the Suffolk Coast using quality local produce…  which means we’re also kinder to the planet.

New for 2024

Felixstowe Beach Hut Hire

Our newly refurbed Felixstowe beach hut is available for day rental.
Located at ‘The Dip’ in Old Felixstowe, just 80 yards away from the Dip Kiosk, ice cream shop and toilets and a mere 20m away from the beach and sea.

Refurbed with reclaimed upcycled materials, the hut’s kitchenette has a kettle, prep space, sink with foot pump running water (cannister not mains!). With luxury reclining chairs and dining table and chairs for eating Al Fresco! Not to mention a comfy sofa, BBQ, and voile curtain for extra privacy.

Enquire at the kiosk!

Mega Toasties

Super thick cut toasted sandwiches in white or malted granary bread. 

Crispy on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside – our new toastie menu will have you coming back for more.

Coke Float / Ice Cream Soda

Classic Coke Floats and Lemonade Ice Cream Soda drinks are the favourite memories for many a childhood, we want to bring them back to life with our classic ice cream soda menu

Authentic coca cola or R Whites in a can served with your choice of ice cream (vanilla recommended!) and topped with squirty cream and a cherry on the top – fabulous!

Doggy Deli

With treats for the doggies, doggy ice cream and an ample water bowl, we think your furry friends (and your normal ones!) will agree…

The Dip Doggy Deli really is the best place to have a well earned rest drinking tea, coffee and eating ice cream by the sea!

The Dip Department Store

From essentials like Buckets, Spades, Chargers, Plasters, Suncream & Hats, to doggy throws, blankets and fun beachy T shirts, homewares & more… limited edition items available only at the kiosk
