45 Best Ice Cream Shops near Tiverton

“I absolutely love going to Helger’s Ice Cream—it’s hands down one of the best ice cream spots around! The staff is always incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit even better. A special shoutout to Elizabeth, Isabel, and Kaylee—they are all so kind, upbeat, and genuinely make you feel appreciated as a customer. Their positive energy really stands out and keeps me coming back. The selection is amazing, with a huge variety of hard ice cream flavors to choose from, so there’s always something new to try. Their soft serve is just as good—smooth, creamy, and perfectly made every time. On top of that, their sundaes and milkshakes are so unique and delicious. You can tell they put thought into their creations, and everything is made to perfection. Between the incredible staff and the wide range of high-quality treats, Helger’s is a must-visit. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun, friendly, and delicious experience!“

“If you’re questioning a visit stop thinking about it. Make it happen. Best custom made milkshake EVER! It’s always a great sign when you walk into a business and are greeted with smiles and happiness. That alone made me super happy for stopping by. They have an amazing selection with an option to sample before you make your choice. If you can’t decide what you’d like they do have a list of what I believe are all amazing options. I opted to go my own way and what this amazing human put together for me was absolutely delectable to say the very least. I hope she sees this and knows the caramel drizzle and crushed up Oreos were a great idea. And the whipped cream. So good I was halfway done by the time the other amazing human inside was done helping my compadre and my cup was empty within minutes of leaving the parking lot. If I don’t find myself in the area while working I will find myself making the 4+ hour round trip to visit again. It’s too good not to!“

“Yum! Servers were super friendly.“

“Absolutely delicious. I chose the maple walnut and I was amazed.“

“The staff and quality of ice cream at Wood’s is top notch. We will definitely be coming back for more!“

“I’ve gone to Somerset Creamery my whole life, but I hadn’t been in several years. I figured my nostalgia was probably over-hyping it, but I went back yesterday and it was even better than I remembered. I got the cookie dough in a waffle cup and it was so creamy and delicious! Probably the best ice cream around, definitely the creamiest!“

“Clementine’s has the BEST ice cream in Rhode Island! Highly recommend.“

“We are addicted! Love my rice bowls“

“So good.. and super nice people!!! Loved the cappuccino gelato and watermelon sorbet!“

“Staff is wonderful, family owned business that us locals will always support. ❤️“

“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!“

“We love the Inside Scoop! The best“

“This was the best ice cream we ever had.... we went here every night on vacation“

“Tried it for the first time just before they closed up for the Winter. 👍✅“

“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!“

“Decided to try a new ice cream spot tonight! The Ice Cream Garage just turned into our new favorite local spot! Staff was Uber friendly and accommodating....allowing us to try some flavors. The ice cream was DELICIOUS! Creamy and packed with lots of goodness!“

“Whenever I'm in Rhode Island, Del's frozen lemonade is my absolute must-have favorite treat! I look forward to it every summer! Whether it be from the cart on Block Island or from this shop. Lily assisted me with my purchase yesterday. She was friendly, kind, and polite! It was my great pleasure meeting this young woman who provided such exceptional service!“

“Kind staff. Good selection of ice cream and options. Wonderful customer service. Clean. Bright and welcoming. The couple block walk up from the waterfront was well worth it for such a pleasant experience from first interaction to last. Thank you for making sure Bristol has a place to enjoy ice cream and time with friends.“

“Can’t wait to go back Again 😋😋“

“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.

“awesome been to the one in Newport and Port St Lucie Florida. bought an apple some Carmel popcorn as well as fudge“

“Our group of 12 stopped in at Yiayia's Cafe and walked away seriously impressed. From the moment we sat down, the staff treated us like family — warm, attentive, and genuinely happy to have us, even with a table our size. The food was outstanding across the board, with that homemade, made-with-love quality that's hard to fake. We enjoyed it so much that we came back a second time during our trip, which says it all. Portions were generous, service stayed friendly and quick even when we were a big group, and the whole vibe felt authentic rather than touristy. Highly recommend for anyone in the area looking for a genuinely great meal and warm hospitality. We'll be back next time we're in town!“

“The best bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant money can buy! The muffins grilled with butter are always a must have and the waitstaff is awesome. Every visit is met with a smile and they even know your name. This place is a must visit if you live or are traveling by.“

“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.“

“Located right in front of the pier. Went there to get a coffee and a turnover before a race, and took my goodies to eat sitting on a bench while looking at the landscape. They do have tables inside, but if the weather is right, I highly recommend to eat outdoors. The service was quick, and the food hit the spot.“

“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.“

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

“Well seeing I haven’t been to Friendly’s in some time. And I’ve come to get a quick bite to eat to find I have a server in training “ Stephanie” who was nervous but pleasant with a inviting g smile that set my atmosphere of being a guest with my company. She assure she got the order correctly to our liking to our order and was pleasant to please and accommodate our needs. If unfamiliar with a menu she quickly excuse herself to inquire with her shift boss. Who was just as pleasant and knowledgeable to what Eva ? that may have riser. Needles to say to find I had points and a member to top it off I got a sundae of one scoop to find 2 scoops and the cost would be 2$ and 5$ off the bill to our surprise. That’s “ Friendly “ is a place I rather be to have such server as Stephanie!!! As I told her she a trainee that has pass the test of time !…“

“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!“

“I had a wonderful breakfast experience at Newport Creamery! The food was delicious and perfectly cooked, making for a great start to the day. What truly stood out was my server, Curtis—he was absolutely fantastic. Curtis was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was just right. His excellent service really enhanced the whole visit. Highly recommend stopping by for a tasty breakfast and great service!“
