“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!“

“I wish I could post a pic of my delicious cone of graham cracker and mint chip ice cream, but it didn’t make it to the car. Both made with cashew. Couldn’t have been better. Next time trying the deli.“

“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!!!!“

I had great service, especially from who I believe was the owner (young 30sish and bald). he was super friendly and gave me a free cup of sherbert that was almost done, and a pup cup for my dog. 100% going back, super friendly people!“

“the best!! we messaged them and asked for them to come to our neighborhood and the next thing i know they are in the neighborhood!! the kids were so excited and most of the adults to!! thank you so much! you guys are the best!!❤️“

“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!“

“Delicious ice cream and amazing service- Callie went above and beyond for my kids, we will be back! �“

“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!“

“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.“

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.“

“Jules Ice cream is the absolute BEST in Bristol! We live in Michigan, and visit often. The staff are simply wonderful. If they are ever having an overwhelming or bad day, you would NEVER know. They always greet you with a welcome, hello & smile. Oh, the waffle cones are scrumptious and the selection of ice cream is fabulous!“

“so i was bored today in my house and trying to just beat this heat when i got the idea to give this place a visit since i haven’t been there in a while. i walked in and the place was completely spotless not even a drop of ice cream on the counter. the employee working there was not only kind but very patient as i had no idea what i wanted. would love to give more than 5 stars but alas i cant. good job to the staff at scoops!“

“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.“

“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!“

“love this place!!! excellent quality ice cream 🍦 😋 👌“

“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.“

“I sent my 89 yr old Dad currently in a nursing home some cookies for his 89th Birthday. There were two failed attempts to deliver. I called and spoke to Abigail, she was able to call the delivery company and find out they had the address off by one number. She took care of the problem and my Dad finally received his cookies! She was so helpful and kind to me, in spite of my frustration! Great customer service and cookies delicious! Thank you Abigail for saving the day!“

“Hilltop is a staple in EG. Frozen yogurt, soft serve, dole whip and hard ice cream. Locally owned and locally sourced. Hilltop is back in the family of the original founders. If you had a bad experience in the past, I highly recommend to give the new hilltop another shot. ❤️ You’ll be greeted with a smile by either me and my family or one of our hand picked employees. We take pride in quality ice cream and quality service. My Mama and I have been doing anything and everything to bring back what people love.“

“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!“

“(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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Ordered here for the first time today and OMG it’s amazing. Everything was good and I’m so happy I finally tried it!! So yummy!!“

“The cake my daughter got is so beautiful!! Tracy did a wonderful job! Will be back cake was delicious thanks“
