    I wanted to catch the sunset and enjoy some ice cream! Staff was friendly, inside was clean, they have an outdoor patio and a drive thru area. 10/10 would recommend the play-dough sugar cookie ice cream and cookie dough!

    Bright ice creams!

    I love papas! I have been coming here since they opened when i was a child. The prices are average and the service is quick. Very clean inside and decorated with alot of elvis stuff! There is also outside dining. The ice cream is all so good too. So many different flavors. Check it out!

    Cute little family friendly ice cream spot! We stopped here on our way home from the beach and loved it. The employees were all friendly and helpful. This is a cash only establishment. They have tables and a bar for seating. I overheard that they give free pup cups for the dogs while placing my order. I ordered a hot fudge sundae and it was really good! We liked this place so much that we stopped by again for more ice cream the very next day. Highly recommend!

    got a small twist in a cone with reverse for under five dollars. I don't think I went to any ice cream places and paid with a five dollar bill. Cash only.!! This location has a drive-through!

    Decent service. Wide array of flavors. We tried the pistachio and coconut chocolate almond. Yuh-meee!

    I'd consider myself an ice cream expert, trying all places around Rhode Island and MA, and I absolutely loved Papa's ice cream! I'm typically a big home made ice cream girl but this place had an amazing assortment of hersheys ice cream, flavors from oatmeal cookie to peanut butter Oreo/cookie dough, coffee Oreo, Superman, crazy vanilla, and so much more. The ice cream was rich in flavor but not too heavy, and they had an assortment of toppings! They have a drive thru but I recommend going inside to see the awesome decor from old school diner to sports memorabilia. The staff was amazing, attentive, polite, patient and friendly!! When I left a tip they were extremely thankful, something that is not common. And lastly, a man who seemed to be the owner, was working along side the staff helping them with stocking ice cream and making sure they had everything they needed. Highly recommend!!

    Heavenly hazelnut (small?!) So good!

    Love, love, LooooVE‼ This is a such a welcome respite from the cookie cutter chain madness. The staff is always cheerful, and why not? Ice cream makes us all so happy. The owner always has a smile for us when we return. And return, we do!! The scoop is very generous, even a small is ample. My choice is heavenly hazelnut. I've also been partial to brownie batter & chocolate extreme. We try to always stop by anytime of year when passing through What a nice local gem! Update: open & SO busy for takeout during this CoVid19 pandemic. Yay!

    Very lovely shop to visit on the way to the beach. Love the variety, the choices of hard ice cream,…read moregelato and even more in tons of flavors. Recommend the cookies and cream gelato for Oreo lovers- it is the best cookies and cream I've ever had in ice cream or gelato!

    DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU HAVE A NUT ALLERGY…read more I went here the other night and had a couple of issues with the place. The major issue I had with this place is the lack of options for people who have allergy restrictions. Typically when I go to an ice cream shop, they have either a good selection of soft serve flavors that are safe for those with nut allergies, or a protocol to follow with scooping hard ice cream to ensure that the order is safe for people with allergies. However, at Nana's, I was told that the only options in the shop that would be safe for my nut allergy were chocolate or vanilla soft serve in a cup, as the cones may be cross contaminated there as well. This was very disappointing. I understand that this is a fairly independent and locally run business, but I still believe that with the large population of people who have nut allergies, they needed to be a bit more accommodating and provide more options. In addition to this, the shop was very stingy with size. When you ask for a small, you get a kiddie size.
