    Flavors: Bing cherry, Butter pecan, pistachio, peppermint stick, bubblegum, blueberry pie
    Tim G.

    We were really excited to try out this place and were so glad we did! It's blowing up on social media and is pretty much always busy right up until closing time, and for good reason too. For the line, it was pretty quick and the prices are pretty reasonable for the portion. They have a broad and delicious assortment of flavors, too. Bing cherry was my favorite of the 6 we tried. I'm definitely heading back for an ice cream taco. FYI, parking can be tricky, especially during peak hours.

    I was totally excited that they finally opened for the season. I ordered a large, soft frozen yogurt swirl with hot fudge. I was shocked as it was handed to me looking like YOGURT SOUP and when I got to my car and started eating it, it was yogurt soup. I don't understand how in LESS than 5 minutes of ordering it, having it handed to me, going to my car, and having to suck this down that it was so soupy. Totally disappointed and it cost $9.45 plus a dollar tip.

    The Inside Scoop is a cute shop that, based on the line stretching through the parking lot, does a good business. I appreciate that the ice cream is homemade and the portions are generous, but I was disappointed in my scoop of ginger. The ginger flavor was barely detectable, there was no spiciness to it whatsoever, and I was only able to see a few sprinkle-sized pieces of candied ginger. It tasted more like a very creamy vanilla, which was good but not what I was looking for. Also, the ice cream was not very firm and melted quickly. The young staff were friendly and fast, but I probably wouldn't go back.

    This was just your ordinary ice cream shop. They did not have an abundant amount of flavors, but they did have decent prices, which is a plus. No inside dining, only outside, lots of bees too lol. Good spot to go if your in the area and want a regular ice cream.

    The location is well maintained. They have picnic tables outside and ample parking. Only con is that it is on the main road, so getting out can sometimes be a pain. Service is always pleasant at the windows! The ice cream is always good. This year we enjoyed their version of the chocolate taco. And mannnnnnn it was delicious. They have different types of sundaes. I have never gone and been disappointed!

    Bubblegum ice cream

    The Inside Scoop is an ice cream stand with parking spaces on both sides of it. There are also some picnic tables on both sides for friends and family to enjoy their ice cream. The Inside Scoop was a stop for the 6th Annual Search for the Best Scoop Shop RI with RI Food Fights. There are many flavors to choose from but I chose the bubblegum flavor. I think this may be my first time having bubblegum ice cream. It was ice cream flavored like bubblegum and loaded with colorful gumballs. I was surprised that there was actual gumballs in the ice cream and swallowed them so hopefully I'll be okay. Service was quick and friendly. A lot more people came after we picked up our ice cream and were enjoying it at the picnic tables.

    The Inside Scoop is such a delicious shop on Rod Rd in Kingston. Their ice cream was delicious and you can tell that it is homemade. The staff was incredibly friendly and despite a line, they moved quickly to ensure everyone was well cared for. The shop is quaint and well worth the trip!

    We pass by this place a lot, so we decided to take "a ride" to try it. It is a cute place, the ice cream is great, the waffle cones were yummy, and they have picnic table seating on the side. It is worth a try.

    Ginger ice cream in waffle cone

    We decided to try this ice cream on our way home. Cute ambiance and friendly staff. We ordered the small ginger ice cream in waffle cone and orange/pineapple. The ginger didn't have a strong ginger flavor and it was waaaay to creamy. Though the small was a pretty good portion. I wished the waffle cones were a bit darker and crisper. The orange/pineapple tasted like a creamsicle and not much pineapple flavor. Would I go back? Maybe ...

    List of flavors

    Yum yum oh yum!!! For some odd reason, I have never found really creamy "fresh from the cow" ice cream in Rhode Island. That ended when I went to The Inside Scoop. Their ice cream tastes like utters have touched that stuff the very same day. All of their flavors were SO creamy. I got the Cabinet, which I had to google before trying. Apparently, this isn't referring to a storage device inside your kitchen. It's an ice cream concoction local to Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts that consists of coffee ice cream, coffee syrup and milk. Wow - it was such a wonderful treat. I love milkshakes, I love coffee, and I love Rhode Island, so a drink encapsulating all three of these things deserves all the love. Quick tip: Parking can be a bit difficult on a crowded day. There's usually enough spots, but getting in and out of the parking lot isn't for the faint of heart. Another nice surprise: There are non-dairy flavors for the lactose-free ice cream lover!

    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.
