Reviews of Papa's Ice Cream

Susan Boisse

The most amazing ice cream. Super creamy and flavorful and the handmade waffle cones were a delicious treat. Staff is super friendly. Portions were HUGE. These pics are of medium sized When in RI this a a must go to place and COFFEE is a MUST have as it's a local flavor

HELEN Diquinzio

This was the 1st time I went there with a friend. The man who served us was very pleasant. I was surprised to see different flavors in the soft serve. I decided to get the Creamsicle. It was a good choice. Not only did they give you a generous amount, but it was just as good as I thought it would be. I would recommend this ice cream place, and when I am in the area again I will stop by and try their soft serve banana

Jessica

Absolutely amazing. Drive through ice cream, what more could you want? Employees have always been extra courteous and the owner works in person just as hard. Just make sure you bring cash as they do not accept cards. Hard, soft and non dairy options are all available. Love small businesses like this!

Kyle Totoro

Great ice cream, great staff, great owners! Ok hear me out in this... When it comes to soft serve ice cream it's pretty simple, Right? However Papa's has THE BEST chocolate soft serve I have ever had. Now I generally have the hard ice cream and their flavors are top notch. Everyone there is always happy, friendly, and smoking as they wait on you! My wife and I love getting our Papa's and my daughter gets so excited when we mention goin there. Thank you for the great service and such delicious I've cream!

Travis King

Great family own and operated neighborhood icecream shop..Great flavors hard and soft. Shakes, Ice Cream NACHOS. DOLE WHIP options. Non Dairy ....

Peter Loesch

Classic neighborhood location! Very friendly staff and flavorful ice cream!

Melissa Dixon

We've always loved it here. Great ice cream flavors, happy service and great decor. My niece works here and now I get to visit more often!

Lori Izzo

Very yummy, I had soft serve coffee ice cream, price was reasonable

nishant sharma

Delicious ice cream for a good price. The taste of ice cream was one of the best that I've ever had. They offered a good selection of flavors. They had a well planned way to handle order and delivery in the COVID times. Highly recommended after a day by the ocean side.

Stephen Hunt

So many flavors of hard and soft ice cream! I love Papa’s

Tyais Terry

Papa's is the best! I love that the place is well staffed. The owner is almost always on hand with a smile. The store is pristine clean and decorated with nostalgic flare. Most importantly, every ice cream container is labeled so you know what's in it and if it's gluten free, which really matter to me. I wish we had a place closer to home like this.

jay fish

Me and my husband decided to try Papa's after reading the reviews. Normally I dont leave reviews, but this place is definitely worthy. Amazing!!! Staff was helpful and friendly. They had so many great flavors to choose from and the flavors were true to their name. No matter where you are in Rhode Island I would definitely make the trip to papa's. Cant wait to come back again!!

Carla Wild

The absolute best ice cream ever. Great service we come here every weekend in the summer.

Josh Lima

Papa's has some pretty good ice cream. It's a neat little shop that looks like an old Malt shop / diner. The staff working there are really friendly. I definitely need to go back sometime and taste those cupcakes, they look incredibly delicious.

Dylan Prentice

Been going here for years. The service is always consistently good as is the ice cream. Just be aware that if you are going on the weekend there may be a long line, but it usually moves pretty fast.

A One

Great ice cream, many flavors, nice outside tables and patio area to enjoy your ice cream on a hot summer day. Friendly counter workers. I highly recommend Papa's Ice cream.

Dave

Best ice cream going....love the old timey 50s diner theme. Tons of flavors,waffle cones, suger cones, sundaes , soft serve you name it. They are even allergy friendly. My wife gets dairy free. We stop at this place once a week during the summer (sometimes more through the drive thru). They were open a little longer this last season and it was greatly appreciated. The people working there have always been good. Its always clean and a great treat. The best place for after the father/ daughter dance...lol. Can get busy but it feels friendly an homey so the wait goes fast.. Papas Ice Cream is awesome.

Lily Patricia

The place is fine I guess there were a lot of people there but I looked it up & the review compared it to Brinkley's which is homemade & they have Hershey's. I purposely didn't go to the one near my house bcoz they have Hershey's which is a good ice cream but not what I wanted. I gave them 4 stars due to the crowd there

Alicia Blanchette

My and my family's favorite ice cream place hands down. Staff are so laid back and nice. My son has a peanut allergy and they are always super helpful. My husband hates ice cream but loves there strawberry cheesecake ice cream.

Indigo Pierce

Tried them for the first time today and they’re definitely going to be my go to place for ice cream!! So glad I live near by! Everyone needs to give them a try 😋 …

Lori Bottella

Not only is their Ice Cream delicious, but they also have a large number of different ice creams, shakes, frozen yogurt, toppings, cones and even cupcakes to choose from! Papa's is an amazing place with more than an incredible staff! Paul is an incredible, kind man!

Brigitte DeSomma

We love Papa's. Couldn't wait for to open for the season. My daughter gets so excited we say we are going, she loves the flavor burst soft serve. I love the cholocate peanut butter ice cream and it's gluten free.

Rachael and Lifestyle

Papa's Ice Cream has good and bad things to it. the ice cream itself is very nice, rich, filling, and flavorful. To order, you can walk inside or use the drive thru. Inside it is a small space with many seats and a restroom. Outside there are about four picnic tables. most of the time the picnic tables are dirty snd have melted ice cream on them.

Lynne Dewey

Unicorn Poop is a flavor and it is Delicious. This is CASH ONLY!!!! and tip the nice people serving you, it's called passing it on, people! They have hard serve (Key Lime pie, so good) and soft serve and pretty much every topping under the sun. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! When we take our pups for a walk in Warwick Park they are the first building we see getting back on the main road. I think they even have a drive through....as weird as that is. I prefer to go in.

Joan Bear

The ice cream products were delicious, there is a public restroom, the employees were happy to please, but the interior sit down area was crowded. Also the sit down area offered no privacy, and lack of decorative effort made one want to gulp and go.

joanne lussier

Magnificent! What ever the flavor you should choose, it always taste true to name. The homemade waffle cones are always fresh. The employees are always cheerful, even on a rainy day.

Zé Desousa

Papa's Ice Cream was great you get big scoops ,the ice cream was very delicious affordable,just heads up it's CASH ONLY but there's a bank a cross the street with ATM Machine.

Christopher Gray

Great place to get ice cream. The staff always makes my sundaes perfect!!! Great job

Carolyn Rose

Awesome ,great ice cream, fantastic staff, they never let ya down ordered a kiddie size that's 1 scoop, a small 2 scoops, and a drive thru also will be back

Michael Skazinski

It’s the best place! Great ice cream and Paul is the best. I think he literally knows everyone by name that walks through the doors and something about each person. You can’t get that type of service anywhere else.

Laurie Fontaine

Great service, real hot fudge, best banana split ever love the whip cream. Highly recommend you try Papa's Ice Cream

Karen Brown

I'm addicted! Love the flavors and sizes of the scoops! You will not be disappointed. Staff is so friendly and you get the feeling they love us! Congratulations on your soon to be new son!

Great selection of flavors in all types; soft serve, regular, sorbert, reduce fat no sugar added. Great people. So nice and patient...as much as anyone can be when people have multiple choices

Zé Desousa

The ice cream was great big portion ,the only down size was cash only,but there's a bank across the street.

Geoff C

Best place in Rhode Island to get ice cream! Family friendly, indoor seating AND THEY EVEN HAVE A DRIVE THRU! Oh and their ice cream is obviously the best tasting!
