About Kow Kow

Kow Kow offers delicious and photogenic ice cream with freshly baked waffles, perfect for satisfying cravings. The menu is easy to navigate with gluten-free options available at no extra cost. Recent reviews highlight that the unique and creative combinations of ice cream, waffles, fresh fruits, and nuts are absolutely delightful, providing a burst of flavor and texture with every bite. Customers praise the Hong Kong-style waffle ice cream, which is a fun and satisfying dessert. The ice cream itself is good, but the warm, freshly made waffle paired with ice cream and toppings is what makes it special. Kow Kow offers a mix of classic flavors and rotating specials, with standouts like blueberry cheesecake and miso caramel. The seasonal special called “The Apple” is highly recommended, featuring apple pie-flavored ice cream with caramel swirl, topped with crumbles of apple cider donuts from Jaswell’s Farm. The “The Apple” is considered one of the best fall ice cream specials in Rhode Island this season. While the matcha and Thai tea flavors were not as impressive, the overall quality and taste of the ice cream are highly regarded. Customers often enjoy the generous portions and soft, warm waffles that complement the ice cream perfectly. The service remains efficient and friendly, with recent updates noting that the business now accepts only cash tips, so visitors should bring some cash for tipping. The outdoor seating is a plus, catering to a young crowd with hardworking staff. Although limited late afternoon and night hours may be a drawback for some, Kow Kow Ice Cream continues to be a must-visit spot for those seeking both indulgent and refreshing treats.

Gave me WOW WOW!!
Would you please allow
Me to have more now?

Wow, just wow! I’ve been wanting to experience Kow Kow for quite a while now- since they were just a food truck. They frequently sold out at events 🙌 so I had yet to give them a try…until today. We stopped in their shop on Ives Street and the aroma of freshly coolly waffles and ice cream was incredible. And the taste was even better! This is a great spot for a date, a family fun night, or a place to visit with friends. We can’t wait to visit again!
