29 Best Ice Cream Shops near Bristol

“Jules Ice cream is the absolute BEST in Bristol! We live in Michigan, and visit often. The staff are simply wonderful. If they are ever having an overwhelming or bad day, you would NEVER know. They always greet you with a welcome, hello & smile. Oh, the waffle cones are scrumptious and the selection of ice cream is fabulous!“

“I went to Roger Williams back in 2010 and just had a strong desire to be able to go back in time to when I woke up hung over and headed over for a sausage egg and cheese on an onion bagle plus a large hot blueberry coffee with cream and sugar.

Is it a culinary experience, no. Is it fancy, heck no. It's just so simply good - I can remember the fluff of the bagle and perfect blueberry flavor of the coffee now ?

Do yourself a favor and stop by sometime - it's rare to have such a beautiful view in a drive thru anyway. I live in Austin now and getting there would be pretty impractical, but if you can - go enjoy yourself!“

“Cereal milk has been my jam since I was a little kid. Cereal milk ice cream….a brilliant dose of tasty deliciousness. The service is excellent! This will definitely be on my must do list when I return for campus visits. Keep up the good work! Don’t change a thing.“

“Amazing ice cream! I’d recommend to anyone.“

“We are addicted! Love my rice bowls“

“the ice cream is great, cake batter is my favorite. the ONLY reason I wouldn't recommend this place is the del's. I know it's a creamery but they serve del's so it should be good. right? 4 out of 5 times i've gotten watermelon del's there it just tastes like ice. so disappointing. I keep going back because I want to give them another chance. been going there for years. I just wish they would tell us they're out if they're having issues with the machine or something. maybe it's the employees just not making it right. and then it's a pain to complain and get something else or a refund because then you have to stand in line again. 😔“

“Can’t wait to go back Again 😋😋“

“Great interesting ice cream flavors“

“Went here for lunch this afternoon with my coworker. We both got pesto grilled cheeses and he got the kale with linguica soup and I got the tomato basil. We both were extremely pleased with our meals. Everything was delicious. 10/10 would return. Next time I’ll be sure to also try some ice cream.“

“Great old school family owned ice cream shop! The one in Pawtucket village is really cute and right next to the river, such an awesome spot to hang out in the summer. They also sell Dels which was really nice when I was there for the Gaspee parade!“

“Average ice cream, i got coffee oreo and my son got cookie dough

Inside had an odor but the employee was friendly and the ice cream portions were good. I definitely prefer a creamier ice cream but not bad !

Sat outside to eat ice cream“

“Update: Highly impressed by quick owner response! And very glad to hear that it’s not completely closed even though for sale! We must just not pass it at the right times. Will have to stop by on a day other than Mon/Tues. Haven’t eaten there yet but I love Hershey ice cream so I’m sure it’s great. And it’s location is great, too!

Thank you for your response. It’s amazing you have served the area for so long! Life is crazy busy so I’m sure no one blames you for selling! Have a great summer!

Original Post:
This place is for sale and that doesn’t mean it’s closed down necessarily but we live right near here and it’s never open during open hours anymore so I’m assuming it’s closed at least for now. Wouldn’t have star rated it for this but have to. Just so people don’t make a trip. Current as of 8/4/24“

“Fantastic ice cream! Hasn’t changed in years!!“

“It was great we really enjoyed it. We got a lot for our money. We came down from Cape Cod so we don’t have one of these there so it was really appreciative and we enjoyed it and it was nice and clean and the cash. It was so friendly.“

“This adorable shop is a must try! Immediately you are welcomed in, i wanted a coffee and i got the Amanda ( which is my name and the most popular coffee might i add ) and it was absolutely DELICIOUS! They had a huge variety of food and treats! They even off a point system that you can earn points towards purchases! Check it out!

Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free options!“

“Awesome! I stopped on a whim to pick up a treat for some friends. The two young people were very polite and accommodating. The variety is phenomenal! It's super clean and organized. And of course delicious! Support local small business - you won't be disappointed! A+++“

“Dennis the bartender is the best“

“I love Frozen yogurt. My friend and I had decided to take a day trip to Providence but could not find a froyo place in the city. Luckily, this place was less than ten minutes from the area near the mall.

The service was top notch! I got recommended the most delicious combination of flavors while chatting with the employee on shift. The prices are honestly a steal compared to most places I’ve been to or that are located in the mall. Additionally, the location is well decorated and in a pretty area.

If you are anywhere nearby, definitely check this place out!

Dietary restrictions: My friend (who has celiacs) had no problem with the froyo here!

Parking: We did not see the small parking lot in front of the shop, so we parked on a side street nearby with no issue.“

“Awesome ice cream but very inconsistent on soft serve cone sizes either really big or very small no matter what size we order.“

“to the young man Jose who was running the counter today 10-23-21!! You are excellent!!!!!a million stars! I can't believe how hard you worked and you were polite! fast! and did a fantastic job cooking! your the reason I go there. your worth every penny they pay you and more!! LOTS MORE! Keep up the great work!“

“This is one of those type of diners that you imagine when you think about having breakfast at a restaurant.
From the moment we entered the door,the energy was welcoming and the atmosphere of the diner is relaxed. A woman named Jackie ( who also ended up being our sever ) seated us and took our order . The food arrived really fast, it was hot, fresh and the coffee is yummy.
If you’re reading the review trying to decide on whether to go have breakfast here. You won’t be disappointed…. Enjoy and thank me later“

“I'm a huge fan of Honey Dew. I feel like it's the lesser known sibling of Dunkin. It was founded in 1973 in Massachusetts with approximately 125 locations. They serve coffee, tea, sandwiches, donuts, bagels, muffins, and pastries.

This particular one is a good size. There were plenty of tables and seats. The service was good and quick. My favorite thing to order is the Willow Tree chicken salad with cheese on a croissant. We also had donuts and coffee; all were good. There is a drive through, restroom, and the location was clean. Overall, it's a great spot to get breakfast and it's super affordable too.“

“It’s friendlys means that they are understaffed and no matter how hard the team is working there’s not enough of them to go around. That being said, the ice cream was delicious and the service itself was good. Feel free to bring your kids as there’s plenty of them all there for the same thing

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly“

“Well seeing I haven’t been to Friendly’s in some time. And I’ve come to get a quick bite to eat to find I have a server in training “ Stephanie” who was nervous but pleasant with a inviting g smile that set my atmosphere of being a guest with my company. She assure she got the order correctly to our liking to our order and was pleasant to please and accommodate our needs. If unfamiliar with a menu she quickly excuse herself to inquire with her shift boss. Who was just as pleasant and knowledgeable to what Eva ? that may have riser. Needles to say to find I had points and a member to top it off I got a sundae of one scoop to find 2 scoops and the cost would be 2$ and 5$ off the bill to our surprise. That’s “ Friendly “ is a place I rather be to have such server as Stephanie!!! As I told her she a trainee that has pass the test of time !…“

“I always enjoy visiting this location. The staff is friendly and Maria has them well trained. There is something on the menu to satisfy my taste buds no matter what time of day I go!“

“Cool spot great strawberry cheesecake shake.employees bring food to your parked car old school 50 vibe kinda

Kid-friendliness: I didn't go inside but from the parking lot where you wait for them to bring you food to your door it's pretty easy to entertain a kid in the car so just go on with your normal routine“

“You walk into a clean restaurant and are met by a friendly and professional staff. I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak with coleslaw and my nephew ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger with fries. My cheesesteak was piping hot with plenty of tasty steak stuffed into a soft roll. The coleslaw was tasty as well. The Bacon Cheeseburger had crisp bacon sitting on top of a juicy burger. The fries were hot and crispy. Our server did a great job of keeping our drinks full.“

“fantastic servers..great recommendation of black raspberry chip sat 9/9..yummy ..thank you K“
