This place is my ultimate favorite Ice cream stand and the service is excellent!!! Try the rum raisin, ginger or if you want simple thier butter crunch. I love this place. Be prepared to wait but its so worth it! homemade. Grab a picnic table and enjoy! read more

This is the best place for ice cream in town. Nothing beats chatting with friends and anticipating the yummy goodness to come while waiting in their super long line on a summer evening (seriously). They have a huge list of flavors to choose from. read more

We love the Ice Cream Machine! Our favorites are Coffee Oreo, Raspberry Truffle and Smores....even the sorbet is refreshing and delicious! They make all of the ice cream on premise. It's worth the trip...on any day! Enjoy:) read more

One of my biggest downfalls is Ice Cream. I can eat ice cream any day of the week regardless of the weather. Needless to say Ice Cream Machine is one of the best places in Rhode Island to come for ice cream. They have a very extensive list of every day ice cream flavors plus a variety of seasonal flavors to choose from. Best of all the portions are huge, I normally just get a kiddie and that is enough for me. read more

Tonight when we got here they were pretty busy but the line went rather quick. Be prepaired also for a lot of ice cream if you get the small. We all got the kiddie size and it was more then enough. They also have so many great flavors to choose from my favorite is any with cookie/Oreo in the title. My two older kids when they visit for the summer they always ask to come and get Ice Cream.. I always tease them abs say the only reason you came all the way up here from North Carolina was for the Ice Cream read more

Ice cream is good. Service is painfully slow. Forcing customers to line up at each window instead of a common line is antiquated and frustrating. For years now the parking lot lights are left on during daylight hours wasting precious energy. Don't they use enough for the refrigeration? read more

YES! I've been DYING to try this place - I drive by all the time and I finally made it. YUM! Key Lime Ice Cream was very very tasty. The lines get long but it's worth it. I like that there is a little park across the street as well. I'd recommend parking there instead of the main lot. Easier in and out access. :-) read more

We stopped at the Ice Cream Machine after picking apples - it was well worth the stop! The ice cream is fresh and creamy, not freezer burned like a lot of other places in RI. We tried pumpkin and brownie, the pumpkin tasted like fresh pumpkin pie and the brownie tasted almost like cookie dough but was tasty. Expensive but so aren't the other ice cream joints in RI! Highly Recommend. read more

Love this place! I have been coming for years and is one of the best ice cream places I've ever been to. Their ice cream is creamy, delicious, and there is a huge variety of options to get. They get very busy but the staff is great and works hard to keep the line moving. Also the portions are HUGE and you get more than what you pay for so that is a huge plus. They also make great frappes and limerickes. If you're in the area just go there, you'll never regret it! read more

One of the best ice creams I ever had. Homemade and so creamy. I ordered the Amaretto and Almond flavor and my brother got Oreo Coffee. Both one scoops in wafer cones. (They also have sugar cones, waffle bowls, etc.) Wow they serve big portions. We had to ask separate bowls and spoons. Tables and benches all around. They take CASH ONLY. But they do have ATM machine inside. read more

Here's a sign that you have it bad for the Ice Cream Machine: you go to work, realize that you haven't had it in a while and make lunch plans to go there and have a sundae. A large sundae. With all the fixings. The ice cream here is so good. Their flavors are pretty standard but have some interesting ones as well. While you won't find the "mix-ins" that other chains provide, the ICM doesn't need them because their base flavors are so good. Must stop on a nice warm (or cold), summer (or fall, spring, winter) day. read more

Seriously, I would travel to the Ice Cream Machine any day of the week to have their ice cream. It's seriously the bomb! My high school job was in a small, local ice cream shoppe where we made homemade ice cream. Because of this, my standards are very, very high when it comes to ice cream. I mean, all ice cream has merit and a place in my world, but The Ice Cream Machine is on a different level. This is gourmet ice cream and really worth your efforts. Sure you may have to travel a bit, wait in a line, and pay a fair amount of money but the product you get back is creamy and delicious. I've never had better! read more

ordered the cherry chocolate chip by accident- and was horrified when i saw neon red ice cream. The gal kindly exchanged it for the black cherry- exactly what I wanted. Very good ice cream! read more

I live in Boston. As such, I am supposed to sing the praises of J.P. Licks or Herrell's. However, I am a dyed in the wool Rhode Islander and was raised in the Blackstone Valley, and as such there is no ice cream stand that will ever hold a place in my heart quite like the Ice Cream Machine does. The ice cream is homemade and very very tasty, and you can't beat the flavor selection. I especially recommend fruity flavors like peach, lemon, or coconut - no one does it better! Sundaes are fantastic with real hot fudge and SO SO cheap!!! But really one of the best parts about coming here is the people watching. Little League teams, gaggles of little old ladies, and teenagers on a first date all come to the Ice Cream Machine, and for good reason. Portions are gargantuan, so share with a friend or get a kiddie size. read more

It's not summer unless you go to the Ice Cream Machine honestly. So many flavors and I've never tried one that wasn't good. Portions are absolutely huge so even a small is hard to finish I think. I recommend the brownie sundae if you're feeling like going into an ice cream coma. Prepare yourself for looong lines if you go at night in the summer-- pretty much any day of the week, but obviously more so on the weekend. BUT it is worth it and if its nice out whatever whats the rush? Also the parking isn't awesome-- you mostly have to park across the street so just be careful crossing it can busy. read more

Husband and an had our first trip there tonight. So delicious, and so many flavors to choose from! I ordered the medium dish of cows tracks and husband ordered Oreo. More in a medium than either one of us could finish and for the right price too. The service was fast and friendly. Definitely looking forward to visiting this place all summer! read more

The sea salt caramel frozen yogurt may have changed my life for the better, but I will definitely be getting a kiddie next time!

Ice cream machine, or ICM is one of the hidden gems tucked away in the corner of Cumberland, Rhode Island. With hefty scoops and tons of options, the flavor has never disappointed. My favorite is mint chocolate chip - classic yet perfected. read more

I was disappointed after going there tonight and the ATM machine was down and they only take cash with no other options. I get that they want to save the cost of paying for a merchant services account and a cash business probably has tax advantages too but it sucks when things like the machine being down happen. I have been before and have either had cash or planned on using the ATM but this time I had to leave empty handed. read more

ICM is literally the beat ice cream in RI. The new setup only adds to the amazing and diverse flavors and family atmosphere. My summer flavor is coffee oreo and in the fall the apple flavor is to die for! read more

HUGE portions of yummy ice cream. They offer a good amount of unique flavors as well as the more traditional ones. Sundaes, banana splits, ice cream pies, and a few different doggie treats are also on the menu. It is usually pretty crowded but the lines move fast and with Diamond Hill park right across the street, there is always somewhere to sit and enjoy your treat. read more

One of the best Ice Creams I've ever had. So many flavor choices to choose from. The coffee oreo is definitely a favorite in our house!

Worst strawberry flavored ice cream! First warning was a bright pink color, not the usual light pink you see with any other strawberry ice cream I've had. The flavor tasted like bubble gum with the slightest strawberry hint at the end. Needless to say, in the rrash it went and so did my $5. They have a huge areay of flavor selection so I may give them another try if I'm around the area, and this time I'll be sure to sample it choosing a flavor. read more

This is one of the best ice cream places in the area. It's tied with another place in Swansea, but this is definitely the best in the area...I may have tried close to all of them. Anyways their ice cream is homemade and so creamy and delicious. I'm a chocolate love, my favorites are Chocolate Oreo, and Brownie Batter. They recently remodeled the outside and it looks great. They now have an indoor store, I did not go inside it was too busy. But you can order ice cream from inside, purchase cakes and fudge. They now take credit cards which is a plus, it was cash only before. There's always a long wait, unless you go right before closing, but it's well worth it. read more

When I want something decadent and don't mind standing in line I love getting Ice Cream from the Ice Cream Machine. This place is usually hopping with tons of people but the staff is very quick and they can handle pretty much anything. I love the taste of the ice cream and the variety of flavors. Even sitting on the picnic tables and using the tiny napkins it fun because it reminds me of ice cream as a kid and if a food can take you back to a much simpler time in your life then it is great. read more

This is one of the best palces to cool off on a hot summer day with their great ice cream treats.

I love their ice cream. They have so many flavors of ice cream, sherbet, etc. I love their blondie sundae with the dulce de leche ice cream.

Ok this place is tucked away in a quiet spot which is good because I want to keep it to ourselves!!!!! Some seriously delicious icecream and great service. If on the mass/ri line you'll be happy you found it!!!! read more

The variety of flavors is fantastic. The ice cream is quite good, (but it had better be, New England has tons of great ice cream places.) When it's crowded, with ridiculously long lines (and it frequently is) it's not worth the aggravation. Like another poster said, the crowds of people mean parking availability is zero and the picnic tables get filthy, sticky gross. Also they need NO SMOKING signs posted on the fence at the picnic tables. Nothing is worse than trying to enjoy eating something delicious when there is cigarette smoke blowing in your face. (Thanks lady who ordered no ice cream, but just sat there puffing away.) read more

Went here today. The ice cream is good. The prices aren't bad. We got 2 hot fudge sundaes & a cup of frozen yogurt for 10 bucks. The one thing i don't like and the reason i gave 4 instead of 5 stars is the parking. It's crazy there. read more

The ice cream is fine, but I am disappointed that each cone I was given came with a plastic sheet. I appreciate that the person scooping is using this as a health measure, but how about serving cones that have a paper wrapper? I am sad to think that the cone I just ate leaves such an environmental impact. I also noticed that the cups are made of styrofoam, which never biodegrades. read more

4 stars only because the ice cream is too rich for my sensitive stomach, which is no one's fault but mine. Call it spiteful rating. I usually opt for a kiddie cup of mint chocolate chip, it's delicious. Love that they have a dog-friendly menu, but as my little beast is just as sensitive as me she probably won't be indulging anytime soon. Great place! Boys love the milkshakes! read more

I've been coming here for years now and I was in love with there ice cream. But My most recent trip here was very disappointing for a regular. Okay I got the purple cow which has been my favorite but now they load it with white chocolate morsels, why!?! First thing why would you put whole morsels in you can barley chew them and why would you change a classic without informing people that it's different. I had to spit out nearly a hundred morsels!! Was not satisfying at all. And you got rid of the best section the seasonal, flavored caramel apple and key lime!!! Why get rid of those my girlfriend who is pregnant was craving the key lime which was unbelievably good, and they don't carry it anymore. What happened to the ice cream machine!? read more

This place is amazing!!! Been going here since I was a wee tot, and it's by far the best service and best home-made ice cream I've ever had... All should try it! read more

The homemade ice cream from The Ice Cream Machine is the best around! They have typical ice cream shop prices and big servings. The only problem? It's addicting! read more

Who would give this place less than five stars? I mean I guess its pricey but the size and flavor makes up for it. A very nice treat.

Best ice cream in New England! They have a huge selection of homemade ice cream that tastes divine. This place never disappoints

Tastes great but I do have a little problem with the pricing relating to the portions. Also the seating does not have much to offer.

Ice cream was awesome, plenty to choose from. Fast friendly service. Can't wait to go back.

The Ice Cream Machine (up to this time) had a very high quality ice cream. On Tuesday I stopped there and order a cone of French Vanilla. It was awful!! In the past this flavor was excellent. The cone I purchased yesterday tasted like "ice milk" It had no taste, was no longer creamy and tasteful. It not not appear to have the high butterfat. At a cost of approximately $.80 per ounce there is no price value relationship with this product. Bob P. read more
