First time visiting and we were greeted warmly right away. We checked out the menu on an iPad, which was really convenient, and they also had a cute handwritten menu. After placing our order, an employee asked what other dessert we might have chosen. My partner said mint chocolate chip, and the employee surprised us with two mini mint chocolate chip sandwiches on the house. We took our treats to a nearby park. They were very cold (in a good way), and we were advised to wait a few minutes before eating them, which was perfect since it was such a hot day. We didn't talk at all while eating our ice cream sandwiches , they were that good. It's also great to know they offer catering. A must try spot. The banana pudding sandwich was my favorite - I couldn't believe how good it was. read more

Found this gem when I was poking around on Yelp. The location is on an unsuspecting corner in a neighborhood - luckily I found parking right across from the store. The store was quiet when I arrived. Service was fast and friendly. They have lots to choose from on their menu. I wanted to try so many things but because I was driving back to Boston and wasn't sure whether it would totally melt, I tried an ice cream sandwich. For myself I chose the banana pudding and for my hubby, the mint n chip. They double-bagged them and I put them on the floor in front of the floor AC and turned that baby on full blast. To my surprise, they were completely in tact when I arrived home. Yes, I was freezing the whole ride back given it was 51 degrees and rainy. Anyways onto the ice cream sammies - my hubby loved his. I thought mine was good but I felt like the cookie was too rich - it definitely did not need the chocolate dipped side with peanuts. I'm not sure why but this combo wasn't super appealing to me. The ice cream was very good but more on the sweeter side. Next time I'm in the area I want to try the strawberry taco. read more

DID I JUST FIND THE BEST ICE CREAM EVER? Maybe!!!!!! Man oh man did this spot HIT! It was absolutely DELICIOUS! I got the cookie compost ice cream sandwich and as a chocolate lover, it was absolutely divine!! Not too overwhelmingly sweet and it hit just the perfect amount of sweetness I was looking for. The Matcha ice cream was also very, very good and the way that they make their own ice cream here it must be studied because it is just SO good. You can just taste the freshness that comes with their ice cream flavors here. I generally cannot wait to return here to have some more ice cream because I just know that no matter what I get from here, it will be absolutely delicious! If you're even considering coming here for one second trust me GO GO GO it will be one of the best ice cream(s) of your life! read more

I've been here a couple of times or had their stuff when they were on the bicycle. But haven't had anything recently, I'm never in the area when they are open. I was around the other day and the smell of the cookies baking made me come inside! They have a lot of fun options if you don't have dietary restrictions but still have tasty options for dairy free and wheat free! I had a dairy free Oreo ice cream sandwich! They also had chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla as an option plus sorbet pops! Very tasty. read more

Im not a huge ice cream sandwich store fan, but I am huge gourmet/unique ice cream fan and tricycle ice cream always has unique flavors/ice cream sandwiches (for their specials and just regular options). They also have ice cream tacos that I've always wanted to try but never have. Mostly because they always have a flavor of ice cream sandwiches that I want! Also the ice cream sandwiches are pretty big so I think the tacos would be MASSIVE. This is a great post-There There dessert that you can eat right after or take home and eat later read more

Tricycle Ice Cream - Valentines special (?): Chocolate macaron with strawberry ice cream? I kinda forget - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

This isn't your typical ice cream shop, which was such a pleasant surprise. Everything here is homemade, from the ice cream cookie sandwiches to the sorbet push-up pops and even ice cream tacos. The flavors are just as creative as the treats themselves from ube, Thai tea, and red velvet. The staff was also super friendly, which made the experience even better. The shop is small, but there are a few picnic tables tucked around the side if you want to hang out and enjoy your treat. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for something a little different and a lot delicious. Pro tip- let the ice cream sit for a minute or two before taking a bit... they are really frozen solid. read more

I jave been to Tricycle 3 times now. I have a solid assessment of this confectionary shop. The smell is overwhelmingly delicious but I haven't quite matched it in flavor. What I have had: - red velvet ice cream sandwich ( red velvet cookies with cake batter ice cream) - pistachio vanilla ice cream sandwich (vanilla cookies with pistachio ice cream) - strawberry push pop When you order the ice cream cookies you have to give them time to soften. Each time the sandwich is OK. My taste buds aren't as jazzed as the smell of the place. I can share the pistachio vanilla barely has any flavor. Why spent $5 for basically nothing? The fruit pops are where its at though! It certainly doesn't match the smell but taste super fresh and packed with fruity flavor. Reminds me of the pospsicles in Puerto Rico. I would highly suggest the push-ups! Pro tip: eat at Pizza J's. Grab dessert at Tricycle and then stop by Moniker Brewery. (You can eat you ice cream there.) Makes for a nice day. All within 2 small blocks of each other. read more

Tricycle Ice Cream - To go - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Finding a parking spot will be difficult if you decide to come here however I got lucky. As soon as a driver took off I took their spot a couple of streets down. I ordered the Ube ice cream sandwich which was good but it didn't taste too much like Ube like how I'm used to. Hubby got the Fruity Pebble taco ice cream which was also good. The thing I didn't like, though is that this place isn't made for dining in. They have tables but it's also at the same spot you stand to order food. There's also no excitement in seeing how they make your ice cream, the cashier just took out both of our ice creams from the freezer and handed them to us. They were wrapped it paper. She also mentioned that they are still frozen and we should wait a couple of minutes before we eat them. And that's a buzz kill too because if I'm getting ice cream I want to dive into it asap. We ended up getting our ice creams and walking back to our cars to eat them. We passed by other customers who were leaning against the building eating them because....no patio seating or enough room inside to eat. Overall: both ice creams were delicious but lack of parking, lack of sit down dining and pre-made ice creams wrapped up in the freezer was a no go for me. read more

Tricycle Ice Cream - Bananas foster ice cream sandwich. Awesome. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

I'm SO GLAD I finally had the chance to check out Tricycle Ice Cream! It's dangerously close to my workplace--just a quick hop, skip, and jump away--and it's officially in my regular rotation now. I visited on one of the first warm days of the season with a coworker, eager to try the mouthwatering treats I'd seen online. Let me tell you: they looked just as delicious in person as they did in the photos. Street parking was easy to find in the late afternoon/early evening, which was a nice bonus. Inside, choosing just one treat was the hard part--everything sounded amazing. I eventually settled on an ice cream sandwich with maple walnut ice cream between two blondies. WOW. It was incredible. The ice cream was creamy, the blondies were rich and sugary, and it only barely started to melt by the time I finished the last bite. My coworker opted for a matcha ice cream sandwich with vanilla/orange shortbread cookies--another standout. The menu changes, but I was really impressed by the range of flavors. Whether you're in the mood for something classic or want to try something a little different, there's something for everyone. On our visit, flavors included vanilla, mint chocolate chip, chocolate, Thai tea, peanut butter, Fruity Pebbles, Oreo, strawberry, matcha, passionfruit, pistachio, horchata, coffee, ube, red velvet, banana pudding, and sweet cream. In addition to sandwiches (including some specialty options), they offer cones, ice cream tacos, and sorbet push pops. Everything comes pre-made and wrapped in simple white paper with a cute Tricycle Ice Cream sticker and red-and-white twine--adorable presentation. The shop itself is cozy and welcoming, with bar seating inside and picnic tables out back. Inside, you're surrounded by a cheerful tangle of plants along the windows. There was a steady stream of customers, but it never felt crowded. The staff were warm and friendly, answering our questions and making us feel right at home. Can't wait for my next visit! read more

Love love love Tricycle. Their classic ice cream flavors are so good but their specialty flavors blow me away. Today, I grabbed the Lady Gray macaron and Brazilian passionfruit ice cream sandwiches. Delicious. Super filling and good portion for its prices. I also really like their Calamansi lime push popsicle - great to try in the Summer on a hot day. The staff is also always really friendly and quick. I would definitely recommend stopping by! read more

Wanted to try this place for quite some time They only do ice cream sandwiches and tacos. They don't sell anything by the pint. That being said, the ice cream is good I got pistachio, peach crumble, passion fruit . All of them are good. The issue I have is one. The variety simply isn't there. They do have some exotic flavors, but if you're looking for something basic like chocolate, good luck. I think that should be a staple of any ice cream place but whatever. Also, their main stick is the sandwiches. Honestly, I'm not really impressed with a cookie sandwich with ice cream in it. That's something I can make at home at a fraction of the price. I ended up paying over $30 for five sandwiches. They are in the not so great part of town that's getting revamped not far from there there. Plenty of street parking free. I did not dine in but the ambiance is pretty clean. Overall if you want to try it I think it would be a good option but expect to spend a lot of money for not so much ice cream. read more

We went the wrong way but we still managed to drop by 2 minutes before closing and the staff still welcomed us in--kind of them and very appreciated! The space has limited seating, but that didn't matter for us and I'm sure most customers grab-and-go. What stood out right away was the variety of premium, creative flavors: Kyoto Matcha, Brazilian Passionfruit, Thai Tea, and Callebaut Chocolate, just to name a few. Everything tasted authentic, not overly sweet, and thoughtfully made. We checked out flavor descriptions and photos on their iPad before ordering, which was helpful since the menu has a lot of descriptive, loopy text. They offer ice cream sandwiches ($5.50), specialty ones ($6.50), and seasonal options, plus other fun treats like ice cream tacos ($8), drumsticks ($8), and sorbet push pops ($4). We went for: - Pistachio on Vanilla Cookies - creamy, rich, and nutty. Loved the natural flavor. - Ube on Toasted Coconut Cookies - nice deep purple color, but a bit underwhelming in taste - Oreo Cookies & Cream on Salted Caramel Drizzled Chocolate Cookies - rich and decadent. The ice cream sandwiches are frozen solid, so we were instructed to wait 10-15 minutes for them to thaw a bit. The shortbread cookies were harder than I expected, and they don't offer many soft options. But this is good because it doesn't get messy and stick to your fingers. And it highlights the ice cream flavor and creaminess better. The staff was friendly and shared the backstory behind the Tricycle name, though there was a bit of unwarranted shade when they found out we're also from SoCal, but OC not SD (where she's from). Also, I feel like I must point out the Aesop hand sanitizer--random but delightful touch. Doesn't scream bougie in here, but that detail made me do a double take. read more

Tricycle Ice Cream in Providence might just be the place that proves ice cream isn't only for sunny days. Even with the arctic chill, I couldn't resist stopping by while I was in town--and it was worth it! I had the Banana Pudding Ice Cream with Nilla Wafers sandwiched between two Peanut Butter Cookies, dipped in Callebaut Chocolate, and topped with roasted peanuts. Probably the best ice cream sandwich I've ever had, and I don't say that lightly. These folks don't just make ice cream; they create art. Have you seen their IG page? And everything tastes just as good! From cones and tacos to creative ice cream sandwiches, everything feels like a special treat. They also have specials (though they'd sold out by the time I arrived--and I hear they're super fun and creative seasonal flavors). Next time, I've got my eye on the horchata sandwich. If you're in Providence, do yourself a favor and stop by Tricycle. Rain, shine, or snow, this place is 100% worth the trip. Ice cream cravings don't care about the weather, and neither do I! read more

Tricycle is hands down one of the most unique and best ice cream spots in Providence. They specialize in ice cream sandwiches, and they really nail it. The flavors are always creative, and the cookie bases switch up too, which keeps things interesting. They're constantly coming out with new flavors, but among the classics I've enjoyed: the ube (a favorite), horchata (really good), and the Thai tea and matcha (not bad, but could be stronger). I also recently tried one of their pops--the calamansi pop--and it was surprisingly refreshing and delicious. Love that you can grab a few pops or sandwiches to stash in the freezer for later. Honestly, my only complaint is that I wish they were open more days of the week! Otherwise, it's an easy recommendation for anyone who loves fun, inventive ice cream. read more

Absolute best ice cream sandwiches I have ever had. Stellar selections of high-quality ice cream between crispy and delicious cookies meticulously assembled such that the ice cream is cold enough that it doesn't soak into the cookies and make them soggy. My favorite flavor is their ube coconut sandwich. The only flavor I'd change is their passionfruit one: I am not a fan of the mixed berry core. I'd simply remove the berry core. But this is the tiniest bit of feedback read more

The ice cream sandwiches were great! They are $5 each and are individually wrapped in an artsy packaging. The red velvet with cheese cake filling was delicious. The Oreo Salted Caramel was just as good too. Couldn't decide! The ice pops are $4 and the mango one was good. The workers offer a tablet to see what the sandwiches look like if you want to see a display. I love the logo of the bear on a tricycle and the esthetic of the store. Two small table for groups of three to sit at. The inside is pretty small. Smells lovely in there and the art of the menu is beautiful. On a corner where there's plenty of street parking. Can't wait to try a new flavor when I come back! read more

Really great fun options. Nice outside seating in a quiet side street. Only real "problem" is that the ice cream sandwiches are so cold and well made that they can be a little hard to eat right away. Can't be slightly frustrating for little kids who don't understand why they can't destroy their ice cream **right now**. read more

As soon as you walk in, the aroma of the waffles and cookies warms you up. We had the pleasure of trying the Thai tea and Ube with toasted coconut flakes ice cream sandwiches. The ice cream was wonderfully flavorful and not too sweet. The cookies were a bit harder than to my liking, but did allow the ice cream to shine through. Staff was friendly and informed us the sandwiches were frozen, so to wait a bit before enjoying. Would recommend you giving it a shot in case you're in for a sweet treat! read more

This place was made for me. I wanted to try so many things which was made obvious by the fact that I got enough for 5 people. My husband and I shared: - Fruity Pebble Taco - Passion Fruit Drumstick - Bananas Foster Blondie Sandwich Everything was fantastic. The passion fruit drumstick was my favorite followed by the bananas foster blondie sandwich. You really can't go wrong though. It seems like it's not really made to be eaten there because they warn you to wait a bit to let it soften before eating it. read more

I am literally OBSESSED with this ice cream shop... and I have to admit, I'm not really an ice cream kind of girl but Tricycle is unique & special. The flavor combos are truly culinary creations. My go-to order is the passionfruit mimosa sorbet push pop. It is slightly sour but yet refreshing - ultimately crave-worthy & palate-cleansing. It was time to try an ice cream taco. Hubby selected the creamy peanut butter & chocolate chip ice cream in a chocolate waffle shell, dipped in Callebaut chocolate & topped with Oreo pieces. It is HUGE & decadent. We ended up cutting it in half to save some for tomorrow. So much chocolate. OMG! Last but not least, I wanted to try something else & the owner recommended the Thai tea ice cream + toasted coconut cookies sandwich. Much more subtle than the chocolate taco but the ice cream was really the star of this selection. In addition, another thing that Tricycle does well is the packaging. You are meant to purchase more than you can eat & take it will you for consumption later. If you are ever in the neighborhood (ahem Atwells), take out your phone & preorder Tricycle for your dessert pickup. Or go in & check out what's new. Every week, there are new concoctions.

If you're in Providence do yourself a favor and stop in to this cute little shop for one of their amazing ice cream sandwiches. The minute you walk through the door you're hit with the incredible aroma of chocolate and cookies. Every combination is unique from their standard menu to their weekly specials - and because it's so hard to choose their amazing staff/owners never rush you - they know the dilemma! Last night I couldn't resist the special chocolate pb cup macaron sandwich (creamy peanut butter ice cream with chunks of chocolate peanut butter cup pieces & peanut butter cookies on chocolate macaron shells, garnished with chocolate & roasted peanuts). The chew chocolate macarons just make it that much more decadent. We live about 30 minutes from Providence, which is perfect, because the sandwiches are frozen so hard by the time we get home it's the perfect consistency to eat them! read more

Fast, casual, eccentric, ready-to-go sweet treats that you'll want to eat before your feet hit the street. My wife and I shared their Bananas Foster Ice Cream Sandwich, Fruity Pebble Taco, and Passion Fruit Drumstick which was waaaaay too much for two people. About twice as much as either of us wanted and expected. If we were staying nearby and had a freezer then it wouldn't have been a problem but we were stopping by on our way to our hotel in Newport. That being said, still happy we tried all three. They were all good and no one in particular stood out amongst the rest. read more

I highly recommend taking a trip to aTricycle ice cream. Please make sure to use your GPS because this is nowhere near where you think it is. It's in a non distinct neighborhood on a corner. Parking is limited. But it's worth circling the block a few times for this creative inventive ice cream. I got a chocolate covered taco with nuts on top that was incredible I also got one of their ice cream sandwiches which itself is a treat. Not your normal Oreo cookie with some vanilla in it these cookies are distinct and inventive with Incredible flavors sandwiched between. The tacos are definitely worth a try as are one of the many different sandwiches they have. I did not try the Push Pops that's for another day. read more

Tricycle is such a TREAT. I always look forward to coming here for an ice cream sandwich or push-pop. The flavor selection is impressive: calamansi, soursop, mango with Tajin, passionfruit for the push pops; Thai iced tea, matcha, ube, horchata, Brazilian passionfruit for the ice cream sandwiches. They also have more traditional flavors like vanilla, chocolate, cookies 'n crème for those who prefer to stick to familiar favorites. All the sandwiches are premade and frozen so service is ultra quick. This is a tiny corner takeout shop with limited seating indoors. They do have a few lovely picnic tables outdoors which is a nice addition! My words can't do Tricycle justice, you need to see the photos and go try it yourself. read more
