Rude Service. Loved the Purple Cow growing up, went out with my husband for a date. I have a gluten allergy, I know reese’s ice cream is usually gluten free, there was a sign but I couldn’t see it from my stand point, pointing out what was gluten free, before starting to place my order. The girl taking my order, young, brown hair, rolled her eyes at me informing her of my allergy, ok, not a big deal. Husband puts his order in while I look over what is safe. I put my order in and pay, window closes and she starts to make the ice cream. She starts talking with a coworker while working, the coworker walked over to where she was, a they both made dirty looks at us. Irritating to see the body language of someone serving you to have hostility towards you. Not the end end of the world. She hands ice cream to my husband, no problem, but hands my cup of to scoop ice cream, and shoves the ice cream in my hand, not the bowl, I had to catch the bowl with my other hand, and she closed the window. Now I am pissed. I stood there and looked at my husband in shock, now I am not leaving till I have some napkins in clean up my ice cream covered fingers. She saw me still standing there, open the window and I said “can I have some napkins, you shoved the ice cream in my hand”, she said “ok” and that was it. No sorry, or I did not mean to. Wish I could take my dollar out of the tip cup.
On another note, they weren’t wearing gloves. The coworker even touched her face with a ice cream cone in her hand she was feeding to someone and with her hair hanging in her face, no doubt in my mind hair touched the cone. Wasn’t my ice cream, and I don’t have the patience to tech the people behind the counter about food safety. Like you guys are touching dirty money and then peoples food. As someone who worked in the food service industry, even at a ice cream place at one point, that is so disgusting.
I wish i would have been able to make a nice memory at a place I made so many at as a kid, but whom ever that girl is ruined a good time.

Overpriced for what it is. Not very good ice cream. Artificial flavor.
Stephen Bourgeois
Before going, now that it is cash only, but there is an ATM on site. Good variety and large portion sizes for the price! Very kind people taking orders and serving.

Very good! Soft serve swirl and a lot of good flavors. Ice cream sandwiches are cheap.
Laurie Carroll
Great ice cream and an excellent variety.
Chato Martinez
So disappointed experience, Toppings so expensive, poor portions for the expensive price, save your money and go elsewhere for lower prices and larger portions

Not only do they have the BEST ice cream, I left my wallet there and the owner attempted to deliver it to me at my house! Support this awesome business, best ice cream around!
Jay Silva
Horrible ice cream tasted freezer burned and it looks like the owner lives inside and that’s why she always keeps it locked up
Keith Donovan
Not only is the ice cream sweet but the people are extremely sweet as well! Even on a rainy day you can have a great experience here!
Always a hit. I get the death by chocolate. They do cash only but they have an ATM right there.
The ice cream is super good. There's always parking and there's a small outdoors sitting area. Staff are extremely friendly.

Purple cow sells Richardson's Dairy ice cream and frozen yogurt. It is the best ice cream and frozen yogurt around. The portions are good sizes and the staff is always super friendly. Quite often you will see one of the owners waiting on the window, serving ice cream.
They have quite a few purple colored picnic tables for eating your ice cream there. The Newport Ave location now has a fenced in area, making it much safer for the children.
Parking: The Newport Ave. location has a paved parking lot. The second location has a large parking lot, but it is not to paved.
Wheelchair accessibility: A wheelchair would have much difficulty at the Seekonk location because of the uneven parking lot. The Newport. Ave location would be fine for a wheelchair.

Best place to get ice cream in the pawtucket area. Always friendly staff with awesome flavors! My husband is even lactose intolerant and will take a bunch of dairy pills just to have the ice cream ?
