It was raining, I wanted dessert, but I wanted something new to me. I randomly found this place when doing a google search and based on their nearly perfect reviews, decided I had to give it a shot; I had a BIG FEELING I'd love it. It is located next to a school so traffic can be heavy depending on the time of day. I went around 5 pm and the weather wasn't great so not as much traffic and parking right in front. It is metered parking which is a downside but I believe there are side streets without the fee. I loved a lot of the details when I walked in such as the ice cream cone chairs along the wall, the art on the wall, the citrus colors all around, and a water station. The menu isn't very extensive, but | actually love this about them. Each flavor is very unique and when every flavor sounds and tastes good, a dozen options is perfectly fine. They also have it broken up into regular hard ice cream, dairy free ice cream, and sorbet. I couldn't decide on what I wanted but I was allowed to sample different ones before committing to one. They offer 4 different sizes: mini (golf ball scoop) - $4, scoop (baseball) -$6, half/half - $7, and double -$8. During my sampling session, I tried the horchata, thai tea, and dulce de leche. I ultimately opted for the dulce de leche because of its sweet, creamy, and intense caramel-like flavor. It almost tasted like a cold Werther's caramel melting in my mouth, so I needed more of it. However, I loved that the horchata had a strong cinnamon and vanilla presence with a hint of coconut since I do think the non-diary flavors are coconut milk based. The thai tea literally tasted like a frozen thai tea as it was milky but also the black tea undertone was there. I did not get to taste the london fog but I also heard it was a black tea flavor. Just based on internet pictures, it looks like the menu is constantly changing (some staple flavors don't seem to leave) and there are seasonal flavors. This motivates me to come back more often to see what treasures I come across. They had a few tables inside to enjoy your ice cream there. There were two people working so I did not wait much for my turn. They also do offer pints to go, but from what I could see only two flavors: cookies and cream and mango sticky rice. read more

First of all, their ice cream has a salty taste, which I've honestly never experienced before. Even the Hawaiian Vanilla Bean flavor tasted salty. That part comes down to personal preference... I can tolerate a taste I don't love. What I can't tolerate is bad service. The employee working on 5/25/26 was extremely rude and had no customer service skills. She acted annoyed whenever someone asked for samples and made customers feel like they were wasting her time. She handed over cups of ice cream without spoons or any explanation of where to find them. After running the register, she simply turned around and walked away before the payment even finished processing. Like I said, taste is subjective. How bad can ice cream really be, right? But poor service is something I don't overlook. I won't be returning to this place. In my opinion, 3 Sisters and Sacred Cow offer a much better overall experience. read more

Still delicious and love their non dairy revolving options. Service is fast and friendly and always a good stop after some dinner with friends nearby read more

I love Big Feeling! Today was my second visit, and it's quickly becoming a favorite. They have an amazing variety of ice cream and sorbet flavors, including seasonal options made with locally sourced Rhode Island ingredients. I can be a little hesitant to try new flavors, but the staff is so friendly and always happy to offer samples, which makes deciding a lot easier. This time, I went with the Dulce de Leche, and it was incredible--the caramel was sooo good. They offer both dairy and non-dairy options, so there's something for everyone. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area! read more

Such a small store front but I feel like it fits this business perfectly . This is where you go for a GOOD scoop of ice cream . Went in on a whim and was surprised at the interesting flavors they had such as mango sticky rice ( which was amazing ) and tamarind fish sauce . We did try some samples before deciding which was super nice of the staff . I had a half and half serving of Dulce de Leche and strawberry ice cream on a cone . They are not expensive for the size scoop you get . Just the cone or cup options . They have pints of ice cream to go which I regret not grabbing . I will try my best to come back for another scoop of the Dulce de Leche Ice cream . read more

This is quite literally the best ice cream I've ever had in my life. Everyone I've put on agrees! The vibe is unmatched, all the flavors are so fun, but the texture is unreal. Grateful to have stumbled upon this place! Not a lot of seating, but worth bringing a pint home gluten free + vegan options too! read more

This is one of the best ice cream spots in Providence. They have a great selection of dairy and non-diary options. Each flavor is terrific. Their menu changes constantly, but if you spot the Mango Sticky Rice flavor- try it! read more

This place is so new and I heard it from my partner's work friend~ already was a big fan of the name of this ice cream shop. First off, they do free samples to try out the flavor first before committing to the cone~ the non-dairy options are coconut base ice cream. I had had the Thai tea dairy options ice cream and it was amazing! It was very cream! There was many options of scoops and the staff let me know the about size of everything. Mini= golf ball Scoop = tennis ball I choose the scoop size on a cute cone! I was also told about the caffine in the ice cream because it has a black tea base flavoring~ I will definitely be coming back because staff were so kind and the ice cream flavors were so unique! read more

Rating: 4.3 Came to try after recommendation from my coworker. It's a newer small ice cream shop located in providence. Parking is street parking only. When we came it wasn't too busy so we order at the counter right away. They have dairy and non dairy options available and some interesting flavors. 4 sizes and with cups or cones. They also offer to try flavors which is nice deciding what you want. I ended up getting guava cheesecake flavor ice cream and my partner got Thai tea flavor. The ice creams were pretty good overall. Nice flavors and not too sweet or overwhelming They give you good amount of ice cream as well. Service was good as well and the staff was welcoming. Overall I did like the place and would come back again when I'm around the area. read more

Finally got that Big Feeling! I've been wanting to try Big Feeling for a while now but their ordering process was limited and difficult... but not anymore. Now I can drive to Westminster Street and just grab a pint or a scoop. They also have many more dairy and non daily options to choose from. I went with a scoop of their dulce de Leche and my wife went with the mint chip both were creamy and delicious. The inside had a cute scoop shop vibe and the staff were friendly. read more

Discovering a hidden gem on Westminster Street! I've had the pleasure of enjoying the big feeling ice creams at Ceremony Coffee Shop before, where I tried the matcha and loved it. So, I was thrilled to check out their new storefront when it opened! The shop is charming, featuring two tables and a few seats. It seems they frequently rotate their ice cream flavors, as everything is made from scratch and incorporates many local ingredients. Although I wasn't a fan of the dulce de leche ice cream--it was a bit too sweet for my taste--the matcha was just as delightful as I remembered! I can't wait to try more flavors soon. read more

Went with a friend for an afternoon treat. Cute place right across from Classical HS. The owner is great and has perfected his product. As a lactose intolerant person, I liked that there were 5 nondairy flavors (and 7 or 8 dairy.) I enjoyed the horchata ice cream and you could not tell it had no milk. My friend had miso butterscotch brownie. I would definitely go back-a hidden West Side gem. read more

I cannot express how happy I am that Big Feeling finally got a brick and mortar! This is the ice cream spot that Providence has much needed. I liked Big Feeling before when they would do the weekly pint drops, but the store takes it to another level. The fact that I frequent this place at least twice a week says enough. I love how they rotate their flavors constantly and there are always surprises on the menu. The ingredients are super fresh and the consistency is perfect. My favorite is the London Fog, which is almost always a constant on the menu. The staff are also awesome and passionate about the ice cream. They're always patient and allow customers to sample before choosing. Looking forward to going back again! read more

Big Feeling was so amazing that I felt inspired to write a review on the spot. Congratulations to them for opening a brick-and-mortar store. Firstly, the team at Big Feeling is really friendly and makes you feel welcome right away. The ambience is also cozy, stylish with a retro vibe. Secondly, their flavors are so complex and delicate. They succeeded in some savory hints to flavors in ways that other fancy spots (in the same vein as salt and straw) have not succeeded at. Their satsuma evoo is refreshing, only slightly sweet (the highest praise you can get from an Asian customer) and with incredibly creamy texture despite being a sorbet. The Thai tea is also slightly salty, with undertones of toasted spices, and so thick that it melts quite slowly. I loved the ice cream so much that I had to take a pint with me home afterwards. If I had to rank ice cream in my lifetime, this would be close to top for me! read more

Help me in welcoming the West End's newest ice cream shop! Big Feeling has a fresh & playful interior and both classic & innovative flavors. I did, in fact, get a chocolate ice cream cone in 20° weather, and I'd do it again! To my knowledge, there's not many ice cream shops in this part of town, therefore, I am ecstatic for their opening. Can't wait to visit again! read more

Woah! The ice cream is divine! What a cool new hot spot for ice cream! They are super allergy friendly as well and have listed options for both dairy and non dairy. Many of the options are also gluten free. The person working the register was so patient and helpful and nice and helped me pick some delicious flavors. You should definitely get samples to decide what to get! The flavors seem to rotate but everything I tried was delicious - the London Fog, P.O.G., mango lime leaf, mango sticky rice, and horchata were all so good. There were so many more very cool original flavors as well, like Lemon Bar and Guava cheesecake. I just want to try them all! Apparently they have a happy hour on Wednesdays so it can get busy. And if you follow on social media, they do rare pint drops where you can snag a pint of the more rare flavors. Pre-made pints are $12 and the scoops range from $4-$8 depending on how much you get. The only thing to keep in mind is that parking can be challenging, and that it's across from Classical High School so it can be a bit traffic-y to get the during school pickup time on the weekdays. Well worth it though! There is a big reason everyone is so excited about Big Feeling! read more

Great ice cream. Had the Thai and the flavor was amazing! Good chill staff as well. Good recommendations

The best ice cream I've ever had! 11/10! You must go here! The shop is also very, very cute and aesthetic!

Big Feeling has got it right! I was a fan of their pints during their time as a pop-up, and am so thrilled they now have a brick-and-mortar. We tried the Mango Sticky Rice (slightly coconut-y, floral mango, delectable) and the Vanilla (fragrant and smooth as silk). The richness and quality of the ingredients makes tasting a true delight. The color palette of the interior is summery and welcoming, and the staff was kind and helpful. I'm excited to see what flavors they'll think up next! read more
