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, cakes, sandwiches, panini’s, milkshakes, scoopshakes & more!

All made with love on the Suffolk Coast using quality local produce from independent suppliers and Farm shops…  which means we’re also kinder to the planet.
