Reviews of Big Dee’s Fancy Wieners & Quality Ice Cream (Catering)

Shawn Gravel

Nutritionally inclusive and creative. The gluten-free waffles are amazing.

Fynn Campbell-Bowden

Out of this world vegan ice-cream. “Dark matter” is the winner for me, but they have a wonderful selection of flavours to satisfy any palate. The interior of the store is a nice hangout when the weather isn’t flash and the owners are beyond welcoming!

Zoe Laisnez

This place is amazing! Great service. Lemon ginger was fantastic, chocolate chip was fantastic, we have to come back to try everything else and you should, too :)

Heather Bridle

The best waffles ever! All GF and vegan (and I do not need to eat either! just overall, amazing waffles). the ice cream was delicious, and the flavour choices are out of this world, but to really top off the experience, the owner was so kind! We had amazing customer service. all around 10/10, would (and have already) recommend to everyone!! :)

Ed Byrnes

They were open late, friendly, and their desserts were delightful.

Lilia Skelhorn

The most genuine team I've ever encountered. They put sooo much love and care into the space it blew my mind--And the food and icecreams are SO yummy. Super good vibes, chill and fun. If you're passing through nelson def check this place out!!!

Peter Hess

Great little ice cream shop. Love the milk shakes and macrons. Friendly staff and cozy. Nice area to enjoy your ice cream outside. Highly reccomended.

Lawrence Hanlan

Awesome place. The owner is a cool dude, the place has an awesome vibe. Everything on the menu is gluten free and vegan. The waffles were crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, the toppings were not too much and not too little. Highly recommend this place.

Shyanne Summers

This place is incredibly inviting with a beautiful & warm hearted staff. They offer undeniably delicious vegan ice-cream (+cones) which have never disappointed. I appreciate the creativity they have infused into essentially, all aspects of this business. Quality place, quality taste, & quality people! 5/5

Ang Lachance

Best ice cream in town

Bruce Davis

I feel bad for anyone who hasn't tried either chocolate honeycomb or birthday cake ice cream from Big Dee's.

Phoebe Sutton

Best ice-cream in the region! So lucky to have this place in town and can't wait to see what new flavours they come up with next!

Jamie Merkel

Great ice cream and hot dogs!

Kamala Melzack

Negative Nelly's Review

This place is the fanciest and tastiest Wienery west of prime meridian! Let me know when you got Rum Rasin on the scoop and I'll swing down for a cone.

Andy Dean

Excellent. Not always a fan of vegan ice cream but this was fantastic. Lemon and ginger. Full of flavor.

P Gideon Jones

Such a great addition to Nelson ???? the owner is so friendly and all their creations delicious - we've had the apple pie and pumpkin pie and both were home made sensations that will make your day better ❤️ can't wait to try everything else ????

Tazim Damji

A little gem in Nelson - just off Baker st, the main street for little shops. There are many good vegan dessert options here, like the waffles, sundaes, and smoothies. I got a waffle with cacao nibs and coconut milk whipped cream that was refreshing and just sweet enough.

Shawna Woelke

Super yummy ice cream. Sausage is also very tasty. Nothing on the menu will disappoint. Fun and bubbly atmosphere!!!

Cameron Robertson

Staff were very nice, atmosphere is cool and relaxed, sundaes and waffles were amazing, not sure how they make them without milk, gluten, etc. Whatever they are doing, they are doing it right!

L dls

Super yummy!

Nikki Makoosh

Fantastic hand made ice creams!

justin kuiack

Best ice cream nelson. Cannot wait to go back.

Judy Mulloy

Starting the delightful atmosphere of the place, excellent customer service and the hot chocolate is absolutely the best.

Bonjour Cara

This ice cream is delicious (no wonder you can get it in stores in the region!) and made with a coconut base so suits vegans/plant based diets as well. They also have hot drinks like coffee and smoothies. The owners were very friendly and let us sample ice cream flavours to help us choose. Calm, lovely atmosphere with plants and small seating area. Go and enjoy!

Freedom Forever

Best ice cream in the Kootenays!! For all vegans, this is an absolute must. The team is awesome and the ice cream is delicious!! Highly recommend the tasty toasted coconut???? You can stay cool and sit inside, or enjoy the sun on the patio - both are adorable. We love these local beauties! ????????Local tip - there’s almost always parking on the street near the Oso so it’s a sweet stop before or after shopping and/or the beach ☀️Definitely recommend this special spot to all ice cream lovers!!

Chris Kirk

Amazing, Fantastic flavors, friendly service.

Mary-Anne Walisser

So much scrumptious goodness, I don’t know where to begin! Big Dee’s small batch ice-cream is deliciously rich and creamy!! They always seem to be coming up with exciting new flavours, too! And they make ice-cream cakes, too!! I’ve also tried the salted caramels, toasted marshmallows, and macarons! Sooo good! The macarons are “a little taste of heaven” and beautifully packaged for gift giving! Lots of great choices if your bringing the family in for lunch, too! Loaded hotdogs and smokies with lots of yummy sides!! You’ve gotta try this place ... START THE CAR!!!

Donna Wright

Great icecream

Samantha H

The Kootenay Sunrise waffle was amazing. Patience is key and well worth it.

Paddy Jo Swan

Amazing food and such a fun atmosphere!! The staff are so welcoming and friendly! Will certainly keep coming back every time we're in Nelson!!

Ghee Chana

BEST ICE CREAM IVE EVER HAD!! they make everything in the store from scratch too.. amazing!

Brittany Marshall

Delicious ice cream, with a good variety of flavours. All flavours are super creamy and vegan!

Jane O'Connor

I LOVE BIG DEE'S. Such a staple in my life/the life of the neighbourhood. Whatever your dietary consideration or restriction may be, there is something for you there. Everything is homemade too! I am never not impressed by the artistry the staff put into their work- it seems there is something new and handmade there everyday. Just a creative, funky, deelightful little spot to take yourself and your friends to :)

Dan McLean

It was awesome! Great for vegans and non vegan's alike! Remember the "I can't believe it's not butter?"....this is the "I can't believe it's not dairy, for the world of ice cream!!"

Ben Carson

Artisan ice cream. At first I was like whaa, $8 ice cream sandwhich? But then soon entered an alternate universe where everything in life became better with each individual bite. Its like that scene in pulp fiction regarding the $5 shake (which was actually expensive at the time, because inflation). My Travolta moment was when I realized that this was obviously made in-house with top notch ingredients. Pistachio ice cream between 2 spectacular cookies? Yes please. Oh and my girlfriend likes it cause it works with her nutritional sensitivies. No this aint your Beyers made in a giant factory 5000 km away and upheld by unpronounceable ingredients. If that's what you're after than might not be for you.

Vic Olak

Best smoothies ever !

Himalaya Salt Cave

Yum. Love this place!

v brown

Delicious gluten free and vegan heaven!!!! New fav place in nelson !!!

K M

Friendly and super knowledgeable staff. They have simple tastes and exciting combinations of flavors. The waffles you wouldn't know are gluten free!! I could have taken a bath in the coconut whip!! Thanks guys I'll be back!

J Fieldler

Fun experience

Chris George

Great food, friendly staff, great atmosphere!

Th3VG7

The food was alright, but it was about twice the price it should be.

Asha DeLisle

Really wasn't a fan of this place. The ice cream was watery, everyone in my group felt the same, and the hot dogs were nothing special, especially for the price.

Justine Yiu

Was recommended the strawberry funfetti ice cream sandwich and it was not good. Weird after taste and too sweet. Cookie part had that frost taste to it. Was probably stuck in the freeze for a while. Tried other flavours like the original and mint chocolate. They were okay. Original is probably your best bet if you want a GF and vegan ice cream sandwich. Please remove the strawberry funfetti from your menu. Service was nice though and decor is very cute.

weet bix

Get a macaron.

Liz Smith

It was average. Expected different for the price we paid. Friendly service.

Sandy Leo

Delicious!

Gary Lambert

Fantastic food, awesome people. Well worth a visit !

RICK BOUDREAU

Good food

Stephen Barton

This place is an amazing addition to the food scene in Nelson! Delicious dogs and constantly evolving ice cream flavors ???? all run by 2 wonderfully delightful women! A must try in town! ????

Shiraz Moola

Celestial Scoop is a supernova of a cafe with a great ambience. Where else in a small town can you have a gluten free waffle made to order and topped with vegan ice cream also made in house. An assortment of space themed flavours, fruits and other toppings are available. Our favourites include the maple meteorite and chocolate dark matter…but I hear mango lassi may be coming. Go check it out, your tastebuds and friends will thank you. It's truly out of this world!
