A Belvidere Landmark Since 1952
Dari Ripple is a true, old-fashioned ice cream stand that has been a fixture of Belvidere summers for over 70 years. Now owned and operated by the Dal Pra family, who have proudly served the community for three generations, our shop remains a place where tradition, quality, and connection come together.
From cones, sundaes, and Dole Whip to cyclones and Chicago Dogs, our food is made fresh and served in a relaxed, walk-up setting. Out back, our patio tables offer the perfect place to sit and enjoy your ice cream, especially on warm summer nights.
