    Oreo + s'mores

    You MUST get the s'mores ice cream I cannot even begin to explain how this graham mallow chocolate ball of heaven has changed my night. 10/10 on creaminess, absolute knockout on flavors, just all around mouthwatering creamy goodness. They have so many options to choose from, nice staff who are very quick as well.

    Great place to grab some quick ice cream. Big selection but always packed and they only take cash.

I went the day it was raining all day but cleared up my late afternoon so I was nervous they would be closed. However, it was far from closed and in fact, the ice cream counter to order is inside, protected from the weather. They have the classics and basics, along with more unique flavors and a rotating flavor of the month. I went with peanut butter oreo and caramel caribou (flavor of the month). They offer different sizes and each one brings a generous amount according to the price. We enjoyed the ice cream outside at one of their picnic tables. They have some plastic traditional picnic tables, but also some stone circular tables which get a little uncomfortable over time. The ice cream was great! The only disappointing part was that the peanut butter oreo had a very light peanut butter base, but it was packed with oreo chunks so it made up for it. The caramel caribou was very smooth and packed with caramel swirls and caramel stuffed chocolate bites. They weren't overwhelming sweet which was good. They also offer half gallons of ice cream to go in select flavors including the flavor of the month as well as merchandise including tshirts, hoodies, hats, and stuffed cows. We were very satisfied with our visit.

Get some crumbled Reeses and it would be way better. I also ordered Graham Central Station, but I received 2 scoops of PB instead. Originally I was upset that there was not much PB topping, but whoa!!! PB topping on the bottom too! Service was great, she explained all the flavors. It's a cool place, they have inside or outside seating. Overall good, not great.

They have windows on multiple sides of the building and a fair amount of outdoor seating. The young woman at the window enthusiastically took on my request for her favorite scoop. She presented me with a cone of strawberry cheesecake ice cream and mentioned she scooped it to have extra graham cracker swirl, which is her favorite part. Love that! Because of the heat, I opted to eat my ice cream in the car. This ice cream packs a punch in sweetness. Between the cheesecake, the graham cracker swirl and the strawberry mixed in, this is a sweet tooth's dream cone. While sweeter than my preference usually, I did enjoy this cone down to the last bite! It was a fun little trip to come by here, and it's good to know when I'm in the area, I can stop by for some quality ice cream!

My one complaint is that there were very few tables, so we had nowhere to sit to eat our ice cream. There was one family that had long since finished their ice cream just lingering and taking up space at the few tables. This isn't the fault of the business, but it does highlight the lack of seating available. Even a few bar height tables to lean on would have been better.

    Three Sisters has become one of our favorite places to grab ice cream on the East Side. It's a…read moregreat little shop on Hope Street, and if you're already spending time in the neighborhood, it's an easy place to recommend. The hardest part of visiting is deciding what to order. They have a huge selection of flavors, and every time we go in I end up standing there longer than I planned because there are so many tempting choices. It's the kind of problem every ice cream shop should have. The ice cream itself is outstanding. It's fresh, creamy, and packed with flavor without feeling overly heavy. Every flavor we've tried has been excellent, and it's easy to see why this place has developed such a loyal following. In my opinion, it's the best ice cream on the East Side. Just be prepared to wait if you're stopping by on a nice evening. The shop is fairly small inside, and it's not uncommon for the line to stretch right out the front door. Thankfully, the staff keeps things moving, and the wait has always been worth it. The prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality of the ice cream and the generous portions. Parking can be a little hit or miss since it's mostly street parking, although there are a handful of spaces behind the building. Somehow we've been lucky the last few visits and managed to grab a spot right out front, even when there was a long line. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is because the small space and limited parking can make visiting during peak hours a little less convenient. Once you have your ice cream, though, it's hard to complain. If you're looking for fantastic homemade ice cream in Providence, Three Sisters absolutely deserves a visit. Just bring a little patience if you're going on a warm summer evening.

Having a job that has me outside most of the day it is really nice to have a friendly space to stop in and cool off. There are no steps to get in, the menu board is large and readable, and they offer things like individual ice creams, smoothies, and milkshakes as well as larger tubs of their homemade ice cream, ice cream cakes, gift cards, and do in store pickup for online orders as well ​as delivery through doordash.

The staff is not only incredibly friendly, but they take allergy safety more seriously than anywhere I've ever been. From the moment we walked in, they treated us with genuine care and went above and beyond to make sure my 3‑year‑old could enjoy her treat safely. What stood out the most was how intentional and reassuring they were. They didn't just say they understood her allergy--they showed it. They used a clean scoop, took her custard directly from the top of the machine, and explained each step so I knew she was safe. No other place has ever taken the time to do that for us, and it made such a difference. As a parent, that level of caution and kindness makes life so much easier and so much less stressful. The staff's warmth, patience, and attention to detail were unmatched. They made my daughter feel special, included, and safe, and that means everything. Meadows Frozen Custard has earned our trust and our loyalty, and I couldn't recommend them more highly.

The establishment is cute & clean, and the staff is very nice. Indoor seating is available I ordered a regular cup of chocolate; my cousin a hot fudge sundae with vanilla. While both were tasty, we didnt think our choices had the richness or creaminess of true frozen custard. It tasted exactly like soft serve ice cream to us. Plus, although it tasted fine, there were sugar crystals in my cousin's hot fudge... hot fudge shouldn't be crunchy. Weird. Since this was a bit of a drive for both of us & since there are many soft serve places closer to our homes, we probably wouldn't make a special trip to return.

The reason for a few stars knocked off isn't at all because of flavor, choices available or toppings- all are great. It's because of 2 things. First and foremost, the place is beat to s***. There are cracks on the tables, benches, scuffs on chairs, stains on the walls... eek. Secondly, they had one froyo machine broken and no inner dividers for the giant cups (so you can try multiple flavors) like you can at Kiwi Burst, etc.
