28 Best Ice Cream Shops near Bristol

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious ice cream and hand made waffle cones/bowls. The staff is also wonderful. Definitely a must have!!!“

“We are addicted! Love my rice bowls“

“I absolutely love this location! The staff, the aesthetic, and the products are the best. Del’s Depot provides a truly fun and unique experience whether you are visiting their store front or attending an event. Stop in and experience it for yourself! You will not regret it!!“

“DELICIOUS. There isn’t anything here that I haven’t loved. S’mores and Peanut butter swirl are probably my favorite hard scoops but I’m a sucker for chocolate vanilla twist with jimmies. Their soft serve is amaaazingggg and the very tall young man is always so polite even when it’s a busy summer day! He deserves employee of the month! I also love how they have sidewalk chalk. My littles have so much fun here!“

“Can’t wait to go back Again 😋😋“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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+++“

“Incredible venue not to be missed“

“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 walked inside really busy there was a girl and man who said hi to me they was busy with drive thru orders i waited for 2 mins i ordred 6 to go dounts my wife loves there dounts so bought em for our morning she loves em alot. I wish in the future they would notce me and take my order first because i only ordered 6 box of dounts but i understand the rush its little Disrespectful for a customer just stands and waits at the dining area hire more staff or take the Order immediately thats the only down fall of this review other then that i enjoyed my experience here.“

“The service was amazing, super sweet waitress! I went with my dad and uncle and we enjoyed our food. We don’t have a friendly’s up by us anymore so it was a treat to go and eat there today. Super nostalgic and fun!

Parking: Lots of available space to park because it’s in a small plaza

Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly atmosphere, it was amazing“

“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!“

“The place is a tad pricey but the food is good and the service is excellent. I suspect that the pricing might have to do with the quality of the food, which is higher than other fast food places. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The drive through lines can be long but they always manage to keep them moving so that the wait isn't long at all. Highly recommend!“

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

“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.“
