“Upon walking in, there are a few seated tables to the left and a few high tops to the right. All the tables are fairly spacious. Self seating and order at the counter. They have a good variety of baked goods. Everything looked really fresh tasty. They have drink specials (lattes). We ordered D'S Country Breakfast (comes with sausage, bacon, toast and home fries), egg and cheese on English, blueberry pancakes (very fluffy and plenty of blueberries), and Sunny Toast (with avocado and there's vegemite spread on the toast). They also have cold pressed juice made to order. We got the Healthy Heart (carrot, apple, ginger). Great spot where all the locals go and for people that are visiting the area.“

“Somerset Creamery is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk up to the window, you’re hit with the sweet aroma of freshly made waffle cones and the buzz of happy customers who know they’ve found something special. The ice cream is rich, creamy, and full of flavor—clearly made with care and high-quality ingredients.

Whether you go for a classic like chocolate chip or try one of their unique seasonal flavors, every scoop is a treat. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the staff is always friendly and patient, even on busy summer nights. The homemade waffle cones are a must-try—warm, crispy, and the perfect companion to any flavor.

Somerset Creamery is more than just a place to grab ice cream; it’s a local tradition and a highlight of any summer day. If you’re anywhere near the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Finally had a chance to try Gray's ice cream. Went with a coffee oreo frappe. Thought it was pretty good. The oreo crumbles were pretty light. Now the green straw on the other hand was borderline awful. Constantly collapsing making it a challenge to drink. The struggle started taking away from the overall enjoyment.“

“Mr. Peeper's ice cream is my favorite stop on a hot day. My personal favorite is the coffee oreo. Good stuff. Bought it for my college professor one time and he absolutely loved it. Gave me an A on the final. Thanks Mr. Peeper! Say hi to Junior Peeper for me.“

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

“galactic theater is the best music venue in New England. Dave and his team of human beings keep a fun vibe, great music and interesting line-ups almost every night of the week. I'll be performing here on Fri Feb 6 with my associate, Jake Perry. I highly recommend coming to this location regardless of which night it is. you'll always find something worth checking out!“

“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.“

“My grandson has many food allergies, but this is one of the few places he can go. The staff is aware of his allergies and do what needs to be done so he can enjoy his lemonade without worry. We will always be back.“

“This was such a gem in Middletown, the husband and wife owners were beyond kind and hospitable. Beautiful water views, our breakfast was delicious. They made it extra special for our daughter celebrating her 6th birthday with a surprise ice cream sundae and candle. Love this spot, we will be back soon!!“

“Can be hit or miss. The donuts and pastries are always excellent. The coffee is not always my favorite depending, but I do enjoy a well-made crazy mocha hazelnut. I would encourage the staff to start writing down orders, as mine has been wrong more often than not recently. Still, very friendly staff and a good local business.“

“Amazing cupcakes! Moist, delicious, and great flavor choices!!“

“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!“

“If you're looking for a phenomenal fast food burger and top notch customer service, this is the spot for you. The Smash Burger could compete with any fast casual spot in the area. Also, Raz, the employee who helped me with my order, was absolutely amazing¡ He deserves a raise, and anyone in the area should swing by for the smash burger while its still available.“

“My kids and I stopped here for a quick bite and the staff was so friendly. I forgot about friendlys for years I'm glad we came back and going to stop here now often. The manager was the nicest and most helpful to my son's cherry addiction. Thank you!“

“My daughter and I for lunch to see my niece working as a waitress.. she was very freindly and helpful .. I ordered the Philly cheese steak with curly fries and my daughter ordered an appetizer sampler .. as my niece is a new server so she still asks questions .. I heard her go to the grill where the Manager or supervisor was behind the grill .. my niece asked the manager if the paper was done right with the Phillycheese steak and curly fries and that woman actually yelled @ my niece SAYING I DIDN’T TAKE THE ORDER SO IDK … and I hear my niece say I know you didn’t I am asking if it right with the curly fries she raised her voice again @ her again says idk I didn’t take the order … like woow woman you treat new employees that way teach them don’t be rude and make kids feel like they don’t want to work there soo unprofessional on her part she shouldn’t be a manager or supervisor if she can’t teach these young 16/17 year old kids the right way … food wasn’t that good either probably because miss cranky pants was behind the grill making food …“
