Yes, I do. It's a small family own business that luckily for us were ice cream fanatics is opened all year round so we'll miss a day of not having it is located right across from the new remodeled diamond Hill State Park. All the people are very friendly and kind and a lot of times it's young people and it's hard to find young people actually care about their job. They have multiple flavors all the time. They're totally rotating the flavors of the month as well as a seasonal flavors so you don't get bored having to get the same one all the time. I think they probably have closer probably 50 flavors at one time.

They do a good job trying to reduce cross contamination if you have a food allergy. They have good gluten free options and the servings are huge.

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!

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!

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.

Some of the best ice cream I've had! The texture is impossibly light/fluffy and rich at the same time. The lines were already long when I came here in early spring, and I can only imagine they must get much longer during the summer. It's worth the wait though! You can get 2 flavors in a small cone which is always the mark of a great ice cream shop. Good luck choosing from the dozens of flavors! I had key lime pie and raspberry cheesecake which were both fantastic. The people working here were super friendly and efficient. Will definitely stop by again next time I'm in the area!

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.
