I came here twice within the two days I stayed on B. I. The first night we were there I went there and both my hubby and I got Gelato on cones. OH MY were they FANTASTIC. I went there the day after that for a coffee and pastry, it was a cold afternoon. Their coffee was fresh and delicious and I had an Eclair and Canolli, they both were so Yummy. My hubby got a cherry/cream cheese pastry which wasn't the best but we aren't cherry people. Anywho, I can't wait to go back to go there. Also they accepted the Visa Giftcard I had, unlike many of the other places on this island. read more

The ice cream at Aldo's Bakery is homemade, and I can tell. I went here not once but twice during the 10 hours or so that I was on Block Island. The first time I got the birthday cake ice cream with hot fudge and it was absolutely perfect. The second time, I got mango gelato, also incredible. My only regret is that I didn't try at least one of their homemade baked goods as well, because they looked like they were to die for. There wasn't much seating inside, but I was perfectly content to enjoy my ice cream while walking around the island instead. read more

This place isn't very good. The ice cream is just OK. We overpaid for their breakfast one time. The food was bland and they didn't have any good options (fairly priced) for beverages. They were out of orange juice. It was not a good breakfast experience. We like the sound of the bakery boat crier when we wake up on anchor but haven't bought anything off of it. Overall, I've never been very pleased with Aldo's and their monopoly on the island. read more

Baked goods are good, donuts and croissants especially. Drink prices are kind of a rip-off (almost $4 for a medium coffee which you pour yourself). We spent most of our time here trying to win an Apple Watch from the Stacker machine and eventually settled for a friendship bracelet. Probably rigged. The duck claw machine lets you play until you win, so I guess that's a plus. read more

Absolutely dreadful customer service, and it always has been. I've been coming to the island every summer for 32 years. Many years ago, this was the only place open for breakfast so we would always stop in for a quick breakfast to take onto the ferry. Today we did the same, and the clueless teenagers were completely thrown by our order for two bagels toasted with cream cheese, and a large chocolate milk. It took about 10 minutes to get all that together, after we repeated ourselves no less than 5 times, to three different people. To add insult to injury, the bagel tasted like a stale Lender's bagel. Truly pathetic. I am mystified at how they've managed to stay in business. read more

We came in early on our first day this summer. We were hungry and decided on a breakfast at Aldo's after skipping Rebecca's. We should have gone there. Anyway, we were seated quickly to a table. The menu was limited but the pancakes were out at 10am? We had our second choice. The good thing was the wait staff was friendly. We chatted with her. She was friendly. Food was mediocre. read more

Nope. Not good. Ordered two coffees and a brownie. Coffee was ok, brownie had a strange consistency as if they'd poured half a bottle of Hershey's syrup into the batter. It also had a 1/4" layer of more Hershey's syrup frosting (again, didn't taste "chocolaty" more like corn syrupy chocolate flavored syrup). I was hoping for a cake like brownie - I took 2 bites of this one and asked if I could exchange it for something else that I could actually eat - they said no but they could reduce the price of something else. I went on the yelp reviews and saw that people specifically said don't get the donuts because they taste like bread with frosting on them ... I just walked out and left the (basically full) brownie on the counter. Didn't want to pay for another mediocre dessert. Too bad because the brownie LOOKED delicious but looks can be deceiving. read more

I can smell the baked goods in this place. It's so good! Nice patio outside with tables, chairs, umbrellas. There were so many people when I went inside (5 pm on Saturday). The desserts ( and chocolates and candies) on one side look so yummy. They have great coffee too especially the latte! On the other side is ice cream and gelatos. I got the Dark Chocolate gelato and it tasted amazing, so creamy! Long customer line but the people behind the counter were polite and helpful! Best dessert place on the island! And just a short walk from the main dock. Grab something right before you board the ferry! read more

This is a total dessert emporium, with a large case of baked goods as well as many ice cream flavors -- and a variety of coffees, too. I tried one of the ice cream flavors in a sugar cone. The serving size is fairly generous -- or at least seems that way as it melts down the outside of your cone and down your hand. The ice cream was cold, creamy, and rich, as ice cream should be. If I lived on this island, I'd try some of their baked goods. Maybe next visit. read more

I'm only giving this place 2 stars because of the variety of desserts and breakfast items they had available. Otherwise, I'd be giving it 1 star at best if I were to rate my soft serve ice cream. Probably the worst ever in life. Tasted and looked very watery as if it was made with water and not milk. Not creamy at all. Grab the ice cream across the street instead. read more

Best Gelato ever!!! Get the gelato on the right side in the stainless steel bins - THEY ARE HOMEMADE And amazing!!!!!

Right before we caught the ferry home, my boyfriend and I went to Aldo's for some ice cream. As soon as I walked in, I really liked the place. It was friendly, fun and open and had a lot of great looking choices, from the pastry case when we walked in, to the back where we were going to get ice cream. The people working the counter were extremely friendly and patient as we weighed our options. I got a hot fudge sundae, and the girl who helped me made suggestions and comments about what to get on the sundae and you could tell she really enjoyed her job. One of the guys behind the counter rented us our moped earlier and chatted us up about how that worked out for us and about our day on the island. We really enjoyed our trip here. The ice cream counter reminded me of when I went to pick out all those fun flavors when I was a kid, and I don't know the last time I had a sundae. I got peanut butter and chocolate. It was awesome. The whole place had a fun vibe and although we didn't get any bakery items, everything in the case looked fantastic. Can't wait to go back on our next trip! read more

I wish I could said I liked this place better. Pastry was stale. I've never seen so many teens standing around not working or helping. Gelato was good. read more

Aldo's made our wedding cake and it was delicious! It was so moist and flavorful, i was so glad we ordered one too big, because I couldn't stop eating the leftovers for days after the event! It was a simple yellow cake with white frosting, which my daughter and I decorated with some brown sugar to look like sand and chocolate shells and a couple of adirondack chairs! Everyone loved it! We also had some of their muffins and cinnamon rolls for our brunch the next day, fantastic! read more

Great spot for the earliest coffee available on the island. Nice baked goods and breakfast sandwiches. Early risers...this is your place!

Bake goods are not too good so go for something simple, I got a doughnut from here and it tasted like bread with chocolate glaze. So do not get doughnuts. read more

We came to Aldo's because the line across the street at The Ice cream Place was too long. The line at Aldo's wasn't long but it was confusing and other customers that were behind us kept getting served before us. The ice cream was good but not as good as other homemade ice cream I'd had. Overall, it was a weird experience. read more

Stopped in here for iced coffee this morning and was not disappointed. They offer about 6 different brewed flavors--everything from vanilla to chocolate raspberry to banana hazelnut--and its all self serve. Next time I'll grab a pastry to try too! read more

Came for Ice cream with my nieces and nephew and enjoyed it. I left my wallet inside the bakery and Aldo and staff were kind of enough to hold it for me overnight since I went back to Point Judith and had to take the ferry back. Great bakery and lovely staff. read more

Looking for the best bakery and coffee around. Look no further!! I don't even eat this good on the main land. Plus they deliver to your boat on the great salt pond! Nothing better read more

The ice cream was delicious and the staff was very friendly. Located near Aldo's mopeds. Would come back again.

15 minutes after being seated i flagged down a waitress so i could order coffee. I wish I could say it was busy but the place was half empty. I ordered ham and pancakes and got the pancakes. One out of two ain't bad. It's the only time I have ever been there and maybe the whole place was having a bad day. Oh well there are plenty of other choices surrounding the place. read more

Went there a couple of times during our stay at Block Island. If you like authentic Gelato this is your place. They also have ice cream. read more

I ordered a cappuccino flavored gelato. It was gross (hence the 4 stars). The flavor was light but okay however it was very frostbitten . I threw it away after 3 bites. My husband ordered a strawberry shake, which was delicious. The service was quick and the employees were nice enough considering how busy they were. read more

BEST RESTAURANT ON BLOCK ISLAND!!!! Aldo's has the freshest seafood, best Italian pasta dishes, and most amazing pizza on the island!!! The waitstaff at Aldo's strives for a 5 star experience every time we eat at Aldo's! We had delicious espresso martinis and the most amazing bucket drinks (cruzan confusion), started with there delectable stuffed mushrooms and you can't leave without trying the fishermans stuffed lobster! read more

I can understand paying 20 dollars for 3 ice creams because lets be honest this is a tourist atmosphere. However, the soft serve cone was grainy which means they arent properly using their machines. Also it wasn't even pulled onto the cone correctly, basically falling off the cone as we got it. The other ice creams were hard serve and basically were a scoop and a half that filled half of the cup. Very disappointed.....at least pretend to give me what I pay for. read more

Love this place. We went here every morning during our stay. The breakfast sandwiches were really good, good coffees/teas/espresso drinks, staff was super friendly, and the ice cream wasnt too shabby either! Looking forward to coming back each time we visit block island! read more

Two things. 1. They false advertise. They advertise that they have Sorbet. Sorbet by definition has no milk. They don't serve anything without dairy. 2. From the ice cream my family had, they said it was bland and not worth eating. read more

Went to Block Island for my Husband's Birthday, first experience was great and they did my order amazing. Before going back on the ferry we stopped there again to get some coffee, ice cream, and baked goods, I had the manager the second time we went in and all I can say is attitude. The largest size for the Iced Macchiato is Medium, but the first time I was able to get it in a large cup with extra milk in it, the manager wouldn't do this and when it was done I had a cup with no lid, so as I was paying I asked for the lid to be put on my cup, again it was only my second time here and the first time I had a lid on my cup, so when I asked she snapped at me to go over there and get my own lid. I understand that as a tourist spot you have a lot of people coming in so my one order means nothing to you, but as a manager customer service and satisfaction is something to be mindful... 4 stars for taste, wait time, and the first time I visited, 2 stars for my second visit read more

Their sweet bread was terrific! The service on the other hand,was pretty good, but their was a woman that was yelling at the employees. She was telling them to make my coffee better! I felt kind of bad for the employees. read more

Aldos is a nice little bakery. The service is always fast and pleasant. I have enjoy ALL of their smoothies and a tasty frozen tiramisu. Their pastries, on the other hand, seem to bee hit or miss. Although I adored the cheesecake brownie and apple frita, their cheesecake and eclair has been disappointing. Regardless, I will happily keep coming for the tasty drinks. read more

Aldo's bakery and the associated Aldo's restaurant are an interesting combination of Block Island and coastal Italy. Third generation bakers and ice cream makers . Open early and late. Restaurant has Classic Italian but features seafood. Particularly known for the eggplant preparations. Restaurant open lunch and dinner,seasonal.**** read more
