    Run, don't walk! This neighborhood gem is whipping up some seriously delicious homemade ice cream. Owned and operated by a local dairy in Johnston, RI - everything here is fresh and made with lots of love. If you're not sure what to order, we recommend one of their sundaes which is sky high with ice cream, sauces and the creamiest whipped cream!! The staff are always so friendly and there is lots of outdoor seating and off street parking.

    Stopped by for a quick cone today. Got a small cone with black raspberry chocolate chip yogurt and heathbar yogurt. Delicious! Didnt even seem like I was eating yogurt! The worker was super pleasant. Plenty of parking and some outside tables.

    Was very excited to try this ice cream shop out! I didn't feel up to my usual sundae, and asked if they had milkshakes. Forgot that in Rhode Island they call milkshakes "frappes". Ordered my vanilla frappe and upon getting it, I saw how liquidy it looked. They gave me a boba tea straw with it which seemed odd, but made sense because milkshakes are usually thick. It took me a second to fit the straw in the cup because the cup wasn't made for a boba straw. The first taste was off-putting. It had a weird taste and didn't taste like a regular milkshake. I was a bit disappointed, but will try this place again and see if their ice cream is better. Also they don't take credit cards, so remember to bring cash!

We didn't mind though because it gave us time to go through their massive menu. They have lots of soft and hard flavors, along with sundaes, shakes, and much more. My friend was set on trying their Dubai chocolate ice cream until he saw that it was a massive cup with an overwhelming amount of ice cream and toppings. Since we both decided on their apple pie ice cream, we shared their medium size ($6) to save a couple dollars compared to two smalls. We sat outside, but their tables are far, with very little lighting so it was sad. The apple pie ice cream literally taste like the first bite of vanilla ice cream over a slice of apple pie during thanksgiving dinner, without the cold and hot combo you get with the real experience. This is a seasonal flavor so it only comes around September, but I would highly recommend. I thought their prices were fair and aligned with most ice cream shops.

It was an absolutely beautiful day at the beach and evening so we decided to get coffee at the Gathering Grounds. Then we strolled back to the seating near the Grist Mill and the pond. Grabbed a few outdoor rocking chairs with a little table to rest our coffees on and enjoyed the beautifully manicured seating area watching the ducks, geese and birds while talking away and watching the sun set. To be honest I was kind of wishing I had brought a change of clothing to go into the restaurant but I was in board shorts, Crocs and a rash guard. However, the coffee and atmosphere was the perfect ending to a great day. I highly suggest that you not only enjoy the Old Grist Mill Tavern, Gathering Grounds and Four Echoes Vintage but to enjoy the beautiful property that is well cared for. Take a walk, enjoy the fresh air and the wild life too! I highly recommend the entire experience!

    Very cute little coffee shop bookstore, located in an antiques store…read more Chai latte was very very good! Ice is real big though. $7 they have seasonal flavors of coffee. Ice cream, and sandwiches, which I liked the chicken salad on the sesame bagel. The pastries, also very good! we got the raspberry square and a chocolate chip cookie. Service was prompt, and polite. Parking is off street in a lot. Also right next to a little lake or whatever body of water, which makes it serene, in my opinion.

    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.

    It is hard to get ice cream wrong, but three sisters does it so well!…read moreThey have an extensive board of flavors (my favorite is the community kulfi!) 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.

    I've been dying to try this ice cream shop ever since hearing that they offer the rare Ube flavor…read moreof ice cream - one of my favorites and so hard to find! They were finally open on a Wednesday when I was in the area - really appreciating their new extended summer hours - so some friends and I walked over. This is located in an easily walkable part of the city where street parking is pretty doable, so it's a great stop to work in to a friend hang or date night since it's near breweries and restaurants. I had my heart set on the Ube, but the other flavors were awfully tempting - I'm dying to come back for the Fruity Pebbles taco and/or ice cream sandwich ASAP! I ordered the Ube ice cream sandwich, which came on coconut cookies, was dipped in white chocolate, and covered with coconut flakes, for $6.50. The ice cream color was bright purple as Ube often is, and the cookies were soft and perfectly melt in your mouth despite being frozen. I was advised by the owner to let it sit for a few minutes before eating as they start out very cold. I could only stand to wait a few minutes before diving in, which ended up being a fine amount of time. The flavors were decadent, the Ube was so sweet and indulgent, like an extreme vanilla as I always describe it, but with a root/woodsy note to it that's hard to explain. I was totally in heaven while eating this! My friends loved their options: Thai iced tea sandwich, Fruity Pebbles sandwich, and Banana sandwich. The pistachio sandwich was reportedly a little too mild for some tastes. My friend got their limited edition ** corn and blueberry!!** flavor sandwich - WHAT!? So unique! I had to steal a bite and was pleasantly surprised - I didn't get blueberry in my bite, but it was like frozen corn chowder - not savory, but still a distinctly 'corn' flavor, not corn flakes, but true, actual, corn. The cookies were thin and square shaped and seemed like a cross between cornbread and a sugar cookie, although I'm not exactly sure what it was. I'd go back here to try more things in a heartbeat, and the amazing and large plants on display in this little shop give such a fresh, unique, and fun vibe. There are some small tables to eat at while you're here which came in handy for us, and the owner even let us hang out a few minutes past close, stating he'd be there anyways cleaning, so we didn't have to go wait outside in the rain - so sweet on all levels!

    Yea not to be dramatic but this was the best ice cream sandwich I've ever had…read more Tucked away in the corner of Battey St. I truly wouldn't have even known if my friend hadn't pointed it out! Plenty of indoor seating, loved that the worker at checkout handed us the ipad to make our scrolling experience / choosing what we wanted so much easier. And all the aesop hand sanitizer? Obsessed What incredible flavors / flavor combos! I got the Sweet summer corn & blueberry blondie bar and WHEWWW I was blown away. So flavorful- and these things are HUGE! For only $7 too? So worth it. We will absolutely be returning as it seems they have flavor drops weekly
