“I am not one for reviews but this one is well deserved. The new management did an amazing job reopening — the place looks clean, bright, and welcoming. The two girls working were incredibly friendly and patient with my daughter while taking our order, considering how busy it was. You can tell they enjoy their job and customers. I had a strawberry sundae and my daughter had a dipped cone. Both were delicious! So happy to see this place brought back to life! 10/10 recommend.“

“My son, daughter in law and three of my grandchildren had the most amazing experience making ice cream with Chef Andrea at Gather Cafe. The class was interesting, informative and so much fun. Chef Andrea explained every step fully and included some of the fascinating science behind turning sugar, eggs, and cream into the most delicious ice cream you will ever have. It was an incredible experience that is now a treasured family memory.

I attended a second class with my two adult grandsons and their wives this weekend and had another amazing experience that was just as special as the first. The staff went out of their way to create a memorable experience that goes beyond just making ice cream. They are warm, friendly, and very knowledgeable. And we made five different flavor ice creams including to two that were vegan and they were all outstanding and delicious. I will go back again!!!!“

“My son visited Diggys tonight and brought us some chowder and clam cakes. They were so delicious!! Haven't had good chowder and clam cakes in a long time and I live in RI!! Lots of clams in both. Can't wait to go try the ice cream !“

“Took my toddler here Monday and my only regret with coming here is that we’ve lived in North Smithfield for several years and this was our first time coming! My son (almost 3) loved seeing the cows and trucks that were set up there. We went inside to get a snack and he started having a mini meltdown because he wanted to go back outside. An employee (wish I got her name) came from behind the register and gave him a couple stickers and told me I was doing a great job, which really means a lot when you feel like you’re doing something wrong as a mom. I appreciate that woman more than she realized! 💕 I ordered a cream puff and 2 chocolate chip cookies. When the employee from behind the counter handed me my box she let me know she gave us an extra cookie! The employees really were amazing. My son loved his cookie, and I’ve been dreaming of that cream puff ever since 🤤 we can’t wait to come back and try the ice cream! Great snacks and even greater employees! Thank you for a great day!“

“Cozy, creative ice cream, authentic ice cream, friendly atmosphere, outdoor seating.“

“This is a great little Latin and Japanese fusion ice cream shop. The fish shaped cones with a treat at the bottom are delicious on their own. I had custard in mine with chocolates ice cream, dulce de leche over the top and covered in coconut. Absolutely delicious! My foodie friend introduced me. They definitely enjoyed theirs! Thank you!“

“their bubble gum icecream!!!“

“Sundaes has always been my favorite ice cream shop. Last year I developed an allergy to tree nuts. It is severe. Out of all of the places I have been to eat Sundaes Cranston has gone above and beyond to ensure no exposure to tree nuts. The staff is pleasant and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the training that these employees have been given. Thank you so much. I love still being able to enjoy my favorite ice cream.“

“I have been coming to Dairy King since the late 90s and it’s my favorite ice cream shop in Providence. They now allow credit card payments and have updated their exterior with new decor and more seating areas. Prices are very reasonable and the milkshakes are some of the best around.“

“Great staff, huge selection, and easy access from the bike path.“

“Just went to Sweet & Sour Bar for the first time and got a Strawberry Mango Smoothie and it was absolutely delicious. The rest of my family got something and it was super reasonably priced. If you’re at the mall in Emerald Square Mall I suggest checking them out. They are on the 1st floor in the middle!“

“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!“

“Stopped by to see what all the fuss was about. Nice relaxing place to sit and enjoy the most beautiful constructed / crafted Banana Split I’ve ever seen/ tasted. This is my go to place for my Banana Split from here on out. Matter of fact, I plan on making a stop today (6-21-25)for one 😊“

“Had such a great experience at Dari Bee! The ice cream was absolutely delicious with so many great flavors to choose from. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. The shop was clean, fun, and had such a great atmosphere overall. Plus, it’s right on the bike path, which makes stopping there such a fun activity while out for a ride or walk. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to again!“

“Great place with great ice cream. They've got a ton of great flavors but the one I liked in particles was s'mores something.This is a great place to head to after grabbing a bite from Beef Barn. Also a nice walkway by a pond over there.“

“Went to the shack today, and it was a really nice experience! I love what Alex and his team have done with the place! The ice cream flavors and variety of toppings are very good. The lemonade beats Del’s by a mile! If you’re lucky, you might catch one of their trucks leaving or pulling up. Haven’t gone yet for the live music and entertainment. But this shack is a good option if you’re not able to catch one of their trucks around RI / MA. Stop by!“

“The best memories for me and my family! Never disappoints!“

“Today I had the Aztec Chicken and Black Bean soup. Fantastic! The broth had a depth of flavor. The accompanying bread was fresh and had great flavor. In the past, I've also had Chicken Noodle, Portuguese Kale, and Vegetable Minestrone soups. All were great. Lily's is RI's Soup Kitchen Internation but with a smile.“

“Where can I find grape sugar free Popsicles around 77503 area. Those were the best when I was in the hospital and I can't seem to find them anywhere. Ty!“

“I bought the ice cream making class for my granddaughter’s 10th birthday. It was myself, my daughter, and my granddaughter. We had a spectacular time. Learning about how they make their ice cream and creating our own custom flavors to bring home was so much fun! Krysta was a great instructor, and she was so accommodating and attentive. Nice small classes too, so lots of personal attention.“

“(Translated by Google) I loved the good attention that the owner gave us, she explained everything very well because they have a wide variety of products, she gave us a good and very friendly service.It is sure that we will return we loved the service.(Original)Me encanto la buena atención que nos dio la dueña , nos explico todo muy bien porque tienenuna gran variedad de productos, nos dio un buen servicio muy amable .Es seguro que regresaremos nos encanto el servicio.“

“Stopped by Pinkberry for a sweet treat and overall, it was a great visit. We tried the mango, original, and pomegranate—all three delivered on flavor. The yogurt was smooth, refreshing, and had that signature tart balance that Pinkberry does well.
The fruit toppings were fresh and vibrant, and everything paired beautifully. The presentation was clean and appealing—simple but elevated.
One thing to note: they no longer offer samples, which was a bit disappointing, especially when you’re deciding between flavors. That small touch used to be part of the experience.
Overall, great yogurt, great visit, and still a solid go-to when you want something light, fresh, and satisfying.“

“Thank you for your membership, we look forward to working with you in the future!“

“Great place! YOUR one stop for everything! Coffee, snacks, salads, pizza, ice cream! This place has it all! Great staff and Fadi is a great person all around! Always willing to donate and help anybody that comes in the front door!“

“Don't even talk to me about Del's. Don't mention it around me. Someone will get hurt. It's too good. I was born in Rhode Island but live on Cape Cod. They should not be allowed to sell it in Martha's vineyard, not the same. DEL'S is EVERYTHING!!! I actually take day trips to go get this stuff. Enough said“

“We try something new each time we go. They have something for everyone“

“Service was friendly and timely. Food was good“
