    Kiddie Peach Ice cream and small sundae with raspberry Oreo ice cream, fudge, whip cream
    Erica C.

    THIS IS THE SPOT! Homemade ice cream of your dreams is here!! I chose the seasonal Peach flavor in kiddie which could easily be split by two people. And my partner chose the small sundae with Raspberry Oreo ice cream, fudge, and whip cream. Two items together came to about $11.50! I was blown away by the size of ice cream for the price and happily pleased by the flavors and offerings. There are three lines, but they go by quickly with the fast and efficient workers. It's a quick casual spot offering drinks, ice cream, and candy with many picnic tables. Across the street is a beautiful park and pickle ball court. There is a small parking lot and you can park on the side if the lot is full. There's not a summer day that goes by that I don't think of this ice cream memory.

    A great local, homemade ice cream spot! The parking area is small but people are coming and going regularly so it's not too bad to navigate. While there is often a line inside, you can also go inside to order. I appreciated that a small cone was still able to have 2 flavors. The ice cream quality and flavor was really top notch. They do have some outdoor picnic tables and space to enjoy your ice cream as well. Perfect for a summer night!

    My favorite ice-cream shop in the whole wide world! I was hyping this place up and even my picky boyfriend of all time loved this place for the first time. Friends and family approved! Also kid friendly. I have been coming here for years and the best part is that they have HOMEMADE ice cream. The icecream is creamy, sweet, and holds its temperature (doesn't melt fast). There is a wide variety menu items ranging from hard ice cream, sherbet, sorbet, yogurt, sugar free options, gluten free cones, drinks, sundaes, icecream cake! There is always a line but it's a popular place and attracts a lot of guests. Well worth the wait. There is outdoor seating with cute picnic tables. It's iconic for its adorable cow signage out front.

    The Ice Cream Machine was a stop for the 6th Annual Search for the Best Scoop Shop RI with RI Food Fights. There is a huge parking lot and plenty of places to sit to enjoy the ice cream. There are picnic tables near the parking lot and an outside patio with string lights. Next to the stand where you order ice cream, there is a store to purchase ice cream cake, fudge, and candy. There are many ice cream flavor options and even seasonal ones. I had their pumpkin oreo. It was very good and creamy. It was very pumpkiny. Service was wonderful. The women behind the counter were friendly and efficient.

    My GF brought me here for the first time after hyping this place up and it did not disappoint.. my new FAVORITE ICE CREAM SHOP! Man this place hits! Delicious creamy homemade ice cream spot with awesome flavors. I'm a sucker for birthday cake ice cream so that was my first flavor I tried and it was so so good! Instantly can tell it was high quality homemade ice cream and didn't melt all over the place. They don't offer soft serve ice cream but they have a large variety of hard ice cream along with sherbet, sorbet, yogurt, and sugar free options along with sundaes, drinks, ice cream cakes, and a small candy fudge shop connected to it! 10/10 would recommend and can't wait to go back to try different flavors!

    I almost feel biased writing this review because the Ice Cream Machine just feels like my whole childhood in one scoop. But maybe that's the point. I've been to so many ice cream shops & still need to make it a point to stop here whenever I'm home. They have so many flavors and very rarely disappoint. This time I had a scoop of s'mores & pumpkin oreo for the perfect taste of fall. Always great service by the revolving door of high schoolers (just glad I'm too old to see anyone I know anymore). And I love the addition of the extra tables & candy shop. Plus they now take cards!

    Great home made ice cream! Very crowded in the summertime, but they're organized. There are about 4 separate lines to order. Also, most people don't know this, but you can also order ice cream inside where they sell candy. Many outdoor picnic tables are available. Some people eat at back of their vehicles under the hatchback doors in the parking lot. It's a fun place to cool off!

Moreover, they sell best Christmas trees in the area. You get a free quart of ice cream and delivery if your close by. Norman, the owner is very generous and helpful. The place is very clean and well decorated.

    Foods/Drinks: This is the type of ice cream place that you can share every single type of ice cream…read morethat you get because they serve for multiple people in one specific ice cream item. Their ice cream is so tasty, and one of my favorite favorites is the Cookie Monster ice cream, which is ice cream with brownie in a cup, like a sundae. This ice cream was humongous. I mean, it could honestly feed two people easily. My husband got their strawberry milkshake, and he says it's very good, and he said it was TOO filling (what a great problem to have lol) When it comes to their ice cream, they are probably one of the top tier ice cream spots in Rhode Island! Location: This location is in Lincoln, and it has free parking on both sides of the location. It has windows outside to grab and go, and it's very casual and perfect for a quick ice cream date, family outing, or just grabbing for yourself. It's a pretty big ice cream location. I usually tend to go in the summer, so I'm not sure how it works during the winter. I have gone here multiple times throughout my lifetime since it's been open for a very long time. When I was younger, they would open the inside as well, and it was very nice and aesthetically pleasing, with very 80s vibes. I'm not sure if they still open it, but if they do, I would definitely take a look and eat inside as well! Service: The service is always quick, and they usually have a good set of staff, so you never feel like you're waiting too too long. Even on the hottest summer days, and long lines it's usually pretty quick to get your ice cream! I will continue to come here, and we'll probably be taking my future kids here as well!

Dyane's has so many sweet treats and it's a great place to get the supplies if you want to make your own candy. They have a whole section of molds and melting candy. They also have a wide selection of candy embellishments for your cakes or creations. I purchased a several things and took pictures of more. Chocolate - I got a half lb for $10.00 and had well over 12 pieces to bring to my event. The chocolates were very good and well received. I recommend the white chocolate/ raspberry one. It was different and nice. Cupcakes- I ordered a lemonade cupcake and peach amaretto cupcake, just on a whim to taste their cakes. They use a heavy frosting that I didn't love and the cake was dry. It was the end of the day, so perhaps they had been sitting out all day but for a first time buyer, that's not good. I love cupcakes and have pretty high standards and I will not be ordering cupcakes from Dyane's. Candy - if you are looking for a place to get original homemade treats for an Easter Basket. Come to Dyane's. They have so many cute options and relevantly affordable. I even saw bunny cookies in a stick. So cute. Staff- the staff here is wonderful. Very personable and friendly. They asked if it was first time, they recommended favorites and they made the experience a pleasant one. That is actually why I am giving it 4 stars instead of 3.

It's exactly what you'd hope for: classic chocolate chip flavor, delicious brownie cookie flavor with that Nutella stuffing sandwiched in between both doughs which actually has a balanced sweetness without being overwhelming. Definitely worth going out of your way for. This cookie HIT! I also tried a few other items: * The cookie dough truffles were solid. Fun and indulgent, deff a sleeper hit. * The snickerdoodle cookie was solid but not the main event. Thin, chewy, with crispy edges which I love so nailed the texture perfectly. Just wish it had more snickerdoodle flavor. * The cookie dough cheesecake didn't hit for me. I lean more toward a classic vanilla-forward cheesecake, the edible cookie dollop was good though. What really stands out about this place is the variety. Cookies, cupcakes, pies, cheesecakes, brownies and they even take custom cake orders. It feels like one of those spots where you can keep going back and trying something new every time. Overall: worth the visit, especially for the Nutella cookie.

They do custom cakes and orders, handled in an office onsite. Plenty of parking. They also have a self guided tour of the dairy operation.
