    I love banana ice cream. I went here to check it out with my niece. The banana pudding was bleh. The soft serve banana ice cream was ok. It’s not actually banana it’s vanilla soft serve with banana syrup put on top. Ice cream is good and it’s cash only. They also have a drive thru. If you’re in Warwick you should check it out if you like ice cream. The price is super cheap for the small size is massive. Hope this review was helpful. @ninjaxfang

    Delicious ice cream. Tons of options. Cash only. Great workers. Milkshake Mondays are the BEST

    Fine ice cream but not artisanal or homemade. Hershey's ice cream the sign said. What was surprising was that they did not have plain chocolate or other plain flavors, all ice creams had mix-ins. The ice cream shop closed at 9:20 even though the door and web site indicated closing time of 10pm. The service was excellent, everyone was friendly, service with a smile.

    Still great but it seems that prices have gone up a lot since last year. I paid $9 for a small ice cream. True in a waffle cone but yowza. We used to bring the whole family here and it was less than $30, now that will be more like $50 with tip. Seems like a lot for ice cream. Just shifts from a "normal" to a "splurge" decision this summer.
