“We love the Inside Scoop! The best“

“You can never go wrong with Ben & Jerry’s! This location is a good one to visit for the amazing the amazing harbor views.

The staff are always friendly, and go above and beyond. The ice cream always tastes amazing! To the staff that recently took care of me I was very appreciative of your help and I cannot wait to return.“

“I was visiting Newport and decided to stop by your shop with a friend to get ice cream around 4pm on August 31st when we pointed out to the young guy making the order that he gave me the wrong cone. After pointing out that we asked for waffle cone he became very rude and started throwing things around and even swore. Needless to say we will not be returning there again.“

“7-18-25

VERY popular in the summer. If you drive down Boston Neck Rd from 5 pm to close, you will witness a line down said road with cars parked on both sides for a quarter mile in both directions. Yes. Really. Baron's has a parking lot as well if this is any indication of the traffic it receives. Found the best time to be early to mid-afternoon to avoid crowds.

There is covered and open seating (outside), trash cans, and napkin dispensers. You order at a window (covered for maybe 30 feet in front) and an employee or two will bring your treat to you by name.

Barons does ice cream with different sizes and cone options, soft serve, splits, shakes, and soda floats. There is a large board with pics uploaded to depict sizing and price options better than I could type this out.

I did a chocolate peanut butter cup and a chocolate coconut almond scoop on a waffle cone. This was excellent and the waffle cone sticks out to me. Awesome.

There is a reason this attracts masses of folks.“

“Staff is wonderful, family owned business that us locals will always support. ❤️“

“Love their ice cream! Creative, delicious flavors: my favs fluff n nutter and pumpkin pie (with real pie crust 🎃) 😊 and the milk shakes are outta this world good! ❤️“

“Whenever I'm in Rhode Island, Del's frozen lemonade is my absolute must-have favorite treat! I look forward to it every summer! Whether it be from the cart on Block Island or from this shop. Lily assisted me with my purchase yesterday. She was friendly, kind, and polite! It was my great pleasure meeting this young woman who provided such exceptional service!“

“Yum! Servers were super friendly.“

“Small cafe with great food and friendly service. We were surprised that it wasn’t noisy- there are tiled floors and an open kitchen, and we were seated next to a large (polite) group. My crepes were light and the strawberries fresh. Try the bougatsa!

The bathroom was clean and large.

We were very charmed.“

“Love this place!! had an amazing smoothing and buffalo chicken wrap and my boyfriend had a delicious pecan, caramel pastry with a coffee. We were just passing through, but if lived nearby, I’d come here all the time! Also, the owner, Marcos, was so friendly and kind!“
