Brickley’s Ice Cream

It’s OK but not great…3 ½ stars might be a bit more accurate but I wasn’t going to round to 4. Why? I tried the malted milk ball and was expecting to crunch into good-​sized pieces of malted milk balls, but instead they were so bit-​sized you could have told me they were chocolate chips and I would have believed you. They also use canned whipped cream… bah.
I think I’m just spoiled by Somerset Creamery and the Ice Cream Barn in my neck of the woods, as those two ice cream shops are well-​deserving of the accolades they get.

This is, quite simply, some of the best homemade ice cream I have ever tasted.
It’s rich, it’s tasteful, it comes from good stock… no, I’m not describing myself.
This ice cream is delicious and their variety of popular and uncommon flavors really make this place a must on your journey into, or out of Rhode Island.
Good show!

Ice cream on the coast. And one of the two best. Go whether you’re at the beach or not

awesome product at an Great Price, I go straight for the half gallons

This is a response to Britney. I have been going to Brickleý’s since they open. In all those years I visited the staff has been great to all customers. I owed a coffee shop and it was very difficult to get good employees. The owners of this shop year after year has excellent employees. Owners and we as customers are lucky to have such responsible young people serving us. I’m asking customers to write on Unilocal thanking the staff for the great service they provide us.

My mother went in tonight with my younger siblings, intending to get everybody ice cream. Five workers were behind the counter chatting among themselves raucously and my mom and siblings were the only customers in the store. After making their decisions on what flavor they wanted, my mom tried to get the attention of one of the employees, only to be shushed and told, «In a moment». The employee then went back to their conversation. It took my mom over five minutes to get someone to serve her and my siblings, and the employees did so in a way that made my mom feel like she was intruding and not welcome. They sighed and refused to smile or make any sort of small talk, and rushed through the order just to get back to their chat. Brickley’s, this is not customer service. You may have excellent ice cream, but the product is not an excuse for a horrible lack of friendly customer service.
Edit, because either the mobile app won’t allow me to respond to comments or I’m just not seeing the option: Thank you for replying, Stephen, but I am not satisfied with your response. In fact, I find it extremely interesting that you can give me such –specific– details about what your employees were doing while my mother was in your store, despite the fact that you have no idea what time my mother was in, nor who she is. I get it that you want to save face on such a public forum, but don’t you think it’s worse that you feel you have to insinuate that your customers are either stupid or liars in order to do that? There was no misunderstanding. My mother, a paying customer, was ignored by your undertrained and unsupervised staff while they had a chat instead, one that was irrelevant to the job you are paying them to do. You ought to be even more outraged with their behavior than my mother, instead of covering for employees who can’t be bothered.

Brickley’s is Awesome, it’s honestly some of the best ice cream you’ll ever have and no matter how long the line. it’s worth it!

Very excited to discover Brickleys is 10 minutes from my home. Took the kids there on Saturday and we all thoroughly enjoyed our choices.
Diego And I ordered coffee ice cream which was top notch. I also got a scoop of peanut butter cup ice cream which was good but not great. Isabela ordered ginger and she loved it. I tasted it and was equally impressed.
Miyako got a chocolate with stuff in it (?)…that was good but nowhere as good as their coffee. We will be regulars at Brickleys this spring and summer. Salud!

8^th best in the country, wow! But first best in my heart. What fantastic service and that homemade ice cream is unreal. Especially the choco brownie and pumpkin (when it’s around). Best ice cream in all of Rhode Island

Dynamite ice cream. I’m a fan of the bing cherry and my wife loves peach. We go there 1 – 2 times/​week. The atmosphere is meh, but the service is fast and the prices are reasonable.
Lots of other flavor we’d like to try as well The waffle cone is good/​not great

Brickley’s is «the» premier ice cream spot in Narragansett. On every summer day you can expect a line out the door after 4PM, literally rain or shine. The ice cream is well worth the wait. The servers are local kids from Narragansett and South Kingstown and they keep the line moving. Really worth the wait, you won’t be disappointed.

It takes a tasty, spot-​on ice cream parlor to woo this lass into ice-​cream loving submission… and Brickley’s has done it.
I just discovered this purveyor of frozen, creamy goodness within the last year and now I make a fairly regular pilgrimage to this location — all the way from Warwick! That IS saying something considering that besides our favorite local coffee pusher here in Little Rhody, there is a fairly plentiful sprinkling of ice cream joints per square mile between here and down there.
Speaking of sprinkles (or jimmies), they offer the chocolate variety of the very best caliber. Real bittersweet cocoa goodness packed into every teeny morsel. Nothing like the waxy, coat-​the-​top-​of-​your-​mouth brown tidbits you find elsewhere. If you are a lover of fine chocolate, these will be your reason for your drive south to this little parlor. I know it seems silly, but once you try them atop your favorite flavor, you will never suffer through brown, waxy topping ever again.
The flavors here are varied and I adore that they are true to taste. They never are cloyingingly sweet or artificial. In fact, all ingredients that are packed into their varieties are all-​natural. My favorite is ginger. A light, creamy ginger base with nice morsels of spicy candied ginger throughout. Put that — or any flavor — into one of their homemade waffle cones and it is a winner, winner ice cream dinner. (yes — i HAVE replaced dinner with one of their cones on more than one occasion).
The downside is that they are CASH ONLY! But there is a bank in the next plaza over… or an ATM in their own storefront.
So worth the trip and it truly is the best ice cream I have tasted. evah.

I stop by this ice cream place after I got a great recommendation from someone I met at salty brine beach. He is a local and has lived in Rhode Island his whole life and could not stop raving about this ice cream. So after his suggestion of my friends and I decided to go check out this and I’m very glad that we did.
My favorite ice cream was the cake batter with the freshly made waffle cone. You can watch as they make the cone in front you. They also have really good Jimmy’s/sprinkles. My friends also enjoyed coffee ice cream, Maple Walnut, and the sherbet. Also it is cool to check out The small town since it has really good architecture and has been well present since the 1800s.

After a long, hard day at the beach (yes-​life is rough), a cold refreshing ice cream always hits the spot. I had been here before and knew this place was good, but being back again made me appreciate how tasty this ice cream was. This is seriously some of the best stuff around! I got coffee Heath yogurt which was bomb. I love it when the coffee taste is strong and when there is lots of Heath bar in the yogurt. I also got a new flavor– salted caramel chocolate chip cashew. This was soo good! Rich smooth salted caramel with generous amounts of chocolate chip and cashews. Finally I splurged a bit and got their freshly made waffle cones. Yum yum yum. No need to get more than a small since you can get 2 flavors and they give you a good portion.

OMG chocolate brownie shake the best!
Classic flavors as well as fun flavors all home made in door seating as well as out door seating, when u walk in u smell the waffle cones

I thought brickley’s had solid ice cream. It was really nice sitting outside on the picnic benches out front. I didn’t care for how they only took cash, how you couldn’t see the ice cream before ordering, and the place wasn’t really well decorated. However, I did like the ice cream, and the servers were very helpful with trying different flavors. My girlfriend got the peanut butter cup, and someone else got the coconut flavor which she really enjoyed. The peanut butter cup was probably the highlight flavor.

Peanut Butter cup ice cream was excellent. Staff was very nice. They got to everyone quickly. The place is clean, bright and lots of fun.

They make the best pistachio ice cream I have ever had. It is full of pistachio nuts and WHITE in color (as it should be; NOT GREEN like most sub standard versions). The homemade «on request» fresh waffle cones are the perfect holder for all their delicious flavored. Pumpkin, ginger, coffee chip … The service is friendly and accommodating. The wait is minimal despite long lines because they have many smiling faces to wait on you. Great summer evening treat to eat at the picnic tables provided outside or go down to the beach and enjoy under the moonlight!!! YUMMY!!!

Great fresh ice cream no doubt about it …
But you can get 2 half gallons of friendlys ice cream for the price of a decent cone from brickleys… But if your paying get me a Oreo ice cream in a warm waffle cone!!! Yum!!!

During my vacation this year in Narragansett I came here three times and I would easily say that this is the best ice cream I have ever had. This year I tried the flavors mint chip, peanut butter cup and chocolate brownie and was not disappointed with any of them. The rest of the people that were staying with me during the vacation felt the same way I do about their ice cream. if I lived here I would be coming here every week.

Going against the Grain here and going to tell Rhode Islanders that’s there’s better ice cream else where. I’ve tried two of the locations and the first thing that strikes me is you can’t even look at the ice cream your ordering, you have to pick from a board. Is this normal in Rhode Island? In any event the place is always crowded which I don’t truthfully understand except for the fact that there aren’t many ice cream options. I’d be curious to see if anyone from nj could compare this to denville dairy because I think they’d run circles around this place.

Best ice cream ever ate. Ever. Ever. I want to go right now. Where is the mint and chocolate. They should open in Williamsburg… or bushwick,

First timers! Visited the Narragansett store yesterday around 1 pm. We were greeted by friendly faces and very knowledgeable young adults. Had the Best waffle cone in my life! My ice cream of choice was choclate coconut almond and the special salted carmel and cashews, this was by far the creamiest and tastiest ice cream I ever had.
We returned about 9 pm for our second time in one day. Line was past the old delivery truck, but moved quickly. Still greeted by friendly, knowledgeable and willing to serve young adults, some of the same faces from our earlier trip.
Had the same but added choclate sprinkles… fantastic ice cream waffle cone again. Wish we lived closer… will be back!
Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Came here a decade ago and it was amazing. Came here last week. Yep, still amazing, any flavor! And there service is still the best!

Got the Mint Oreo ice cream! So good! First timer! Homemade waffle cones. Nice people! The best prices for the quantity of amazing ice cream you get!

Had a hot fudge sundae with coffee chip ice cream. It was awesome. The only thing that could make it better would be to make homemade whipped cream, but that would be asking a lot of a place that already makes all its own ice cream.
Would be great if the place had more indoor seating, but it looks like it gets a lot of business and needs the indoor space for ordering customers.
¹⁰⁄₁₀ would travel from Providence to eat again.

Just a summer time must have and do before u can say it’s summer. Everything is fresh and u can smell the scent of waffle cones when entering the building. I know some will say it’s not and That’s fine but it is a great place for ice cream. The ice cream concoctions from them are amazing. It can get pretty busy in there but the line moves really fast. Just remember they only take cash though they have an atm on site.

Summer isn’t summer without a scoop (or two) of Brickley’s Homemade Ice Cream.
Upon entering this lovely ice cream shop, the scent of freshly made waffle cones are being made before your eyes. A team of busy young-​sters (yes, I feel old enough to say that) are eagerly waiting on your order.
They have creamy concoctions such as: oreo coffee (my personal fav), heath bar, mint oreo, butter pecan, malted milk ball… and for those that like more fruity flavors, they have: homemade orange pineapple, lemon and coconut. Plus you can mix and match different ice creams together. Sweet!
What I love the most is that it’s pretty inexpensive for the size you get. Their «smalls» are two generous helpings of whatever tickles your fancy. It’s more like a medium-​large if you as me, but hey, I’m SO NOT complaining! Keep the scoops hefty!
Fair warning though, it’s a cash only establishment. But they do have an ATM available for you should you forget to grab some moo-​lah before entering. Highly recommend. It’s a must go if your in the area beachin’ it up!
