In the…read moreheart of Newport Marina location had the " Best ", Sicilian Pistachio Gelato I have ever tasted! You need to at least taste a sample of it and then grab a large cup which your tastes buds will thank you for it! The other flavors are just as delicious but my choice whenever I return to Newport will be " Sicilian Pistachio ", the owner is from Greece, but we won't hold that against him for making the creamiest and flavorful Gelato! Service is friendly and will give you any samples you will like! This super clean and bright location is definitely a happy place for this frozen treat!

When he talks about his ice cream, he speaks with such confidence and pride in it being healthier and unlike any other gelato-- and I can definitely attest to this!

My boyfriend and I love it here and we came immediately the next day :) Please visit this place & share some love to them from me: a super satisfied Californian!

Went to Newport for a birthday trip (I'm from CT). My friend looked at this place I think on Apple…read moreMaps for my "birthday cake" since I hadn't had any yet. The shop is smaller, but clean, cute and easy to pop in and out. The area of Newport where it is, is very nice. I enjoyed both of these cupcakes a lot. The lemon curd filling in the lemon was super good. Both cupcakes were moist, not too rich, and the frosting was amazing. It still had a very "frosting" flavor but it was thick and creamy enough to hold its shape, but not totally like you're just eating sugar. The chocolate raspberry cupcake was amazing. The raspberry frosting is extremely memorable and the chocolate flavor of the cupcake was very good. I am a big vanilla cake fan, as a lot of chocolate cake sometimes tastes funky, but I assure you this one is very good. The girl at the counter was very nice, and helpful with other customers questions. I recommend!

With the amount of people walking around outside that should have clued me in..... Considering the prices of their beverages I really expected more. More flavor, more pow/bang deliciousness.

I'm quite the cookie monster. I can't help it. Cookies are one of my weaknesses. I was craving…read moresomething sweet and decided to check out this bakery in Bowen's Wharf. As soon as I walked in, I could smell the aroma of freshly baked goods. I thought this was a good sign that I was about to eat some damn good cookies. They only have classic flavors like chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, peanut butter, snickerdoodle, etc. I expected more variety, but oh well. I bought three for $7.50. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either. For the price, they were tiny and thin! They could have been a lot softer and chewier. I expected more from a place that advertises their main product in their business name. Look at Chip City, Insomnia Cookies, and Crumbl. Honestly? I've had better from the bakery sections at ShopRite and Costco. Other than cookies, they sell a few other pastries like brownies, muffins, and cinnamon buns. They also serve breakfast sandwiches until noon. There's a self-service coffee station to the side. I'm being a bit generous with 3 stars. I don't recommend this place unless you want to pay for overpriced, mediocre cookies.

Ordered: Malassada ($2.25)…read moreMa's Donut ($1.85) Bavarian Cream Donut ($1.85) Aya's take: Ma's Donuts & More has that classic, old-fashioned donut shop feel that is become more rare to come across these days. It was around 1:30pm and they still had plenty of pastries. Despite them being open 24/7, it didn't seem like they were still baking anything new. The 3 pastries we got weren't warm or super fresh which I think would've made this more enjoyable. The Malassada is a Portuguese fried donut; it has a sweet glaze on the outside and pretty thick and dense on the inside. This would've been delicious if it was fresh out of the oven! Ma's Donut was my favorite - it was a classic glazed donut that was airy, light, and not too sweet. The Bavarian Cream Donut was also a good try but didn't stand out. Good try, especially if you catch them while they're fresh!

This place used to be good. It's been purchased by new owners and the place is absolute trash now…read more They cut corners in every possible way, nothing is made the way it should be anymore. For example, the apple fritters have no apple... it's not an apple fritter it's just a hunk of fried dough coated with glaze. Honestly the most disappointing thing I've experience in a long time. It sucks to see a great business get taken over and completely trashed.

The place seemed to be older so the door was stuck and staff had to come struggle to open it. Inside is typical of ice-cream shop with counter and the cooler with different type of gelato/sorbet. They have variety of flavors and some interesting one like Dubai chocolate, mandarin and Maine blueberry. They do let you try if you ask so if you are not sure you can ask to try them. I ended up getting large just so i can try different flavors and it's also just $1 difference from each size. I ended up getting Belgian chocolate, peanut butter browny and chocolate chip affogato flavors. They were all very tasty. I was impressed by the Belgian chocolate as it was super rich chocolate flavor i was looking for a while. Service was good but the staff did struggle with the door and had issue with credit card reader too. Maybe should be more ready for customer when they open. Overall i still liked their gelato and would be a good stop for frozen treat in Newport.
