You're literally welcomed into their home and invited to sit around their kitchen table for cake tasting--such a personal and memorable touch! They prepare multiple flavors for you to try (and even pack them up to take home). Their cakes are absolutely stunning--beautiful piping, elegant decoration, and flavors that are out of this world (try the cinnamon roll cake!). Our guests loved that we had a variety of little cake cups with different cakes, fillings, and frostings. Every single one was delicious! But what really sets them apart is who they are as people: kind, genuine, and so easy to work with. They're the kind of people you just feel good having in your life. They are truly the whole experience.

She asked a couple questions about the theme and created an extremely unique, beautiful three tier cake that matched our vision perfectly, and it was delicious! I couldn't have been more pleased working with Paula and having her make a cake for my daughter's day. I will definitely reach out to Cakes by Paula for future events!

I came here as part of the RI FOOD FLIGHTS #bestscoopshopri event. Another super hot day meant ice…read morecream was needed, so I went to this RI icon. They've been churning out ice cream (pun intended) for almost 50 years. Today was my first time going inside the shop. In past times, I had ordered at the window. The inside is small but packs in a lot! Candy and other treats line the walls, a beautiful display of fudge and hand dipped chocolate goodies right in front of you. The young ladies at the counter were very nice, and accommodated my request for their favorite. For this shop, I was told the cookie butter flavor was everyone's current #1. I also got some apple flavored crocodile gummies and I was on my way. The cookie butter surprised me. I expected it to be very sweet, but instead the ice cream had some lovely deep caramel notes from the cookie butter and the big chunks of speculoos cookies were soft and easy to eat without being overwhelmed by sugar. Once again another great trip to the Ice Cream Machine and a reminder to not wait so long before I visit again.

What a great little ice cream place! Tons of flavors to try, including some unique and seasonal…read moreoptions. Everything I've tasted so far has been great. Most recently, I tried their pumpkin ice cream and it did not disappoint! You can get ice cream one of several ways. The ones I remember off the top of my head can be bought either as a packed pint, in cups, several varieties of cones, sundaes, banana splits, cookie sandwiches, and floats. Lots of toppings and sauces to choose from as well. Staff is friendly and service is pretty quick. It does get quite busy here at times, and the parking lot is tiny, which means you might have to go across the street to park. While that's not a big deal for most people, being handicapped, it's a big downside for me, especially since you'd need to cross a very high-traffic street. This is why I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5. They do have an inside area where you can order as well, but you cannot sit/dine inside. There are a few picnic tables outside that you can use, but they also fill up quickly. Inside, you can also buy things like ice cream cakes, fudge, candy and other treats. It's a little bit of a trek for me, but I will definitely be swinging by anytime. I am in the area. Definitely worth checking out!

I ordered a 2 scoop 1st flavor Tiramisu and 2nd the Biscoff cookie butter. Both fantastic!

Lemon Lavender truffle: Tasted strongly of lavender oil and I couldn't take more than one bite before throwing it away. Apple Pie Truffle: Tasted okay mostly of cinnamon but it at least had some sweetness. Vanilla Truffle: I have no clue what flavor this was but it was not vanilla. It was really bad I couldn't even swallow the bite I took. It did have two distinct layers with a harder outside and a softer chocolate inside but again it was so bad. Strawberry Cheesecake Truffle: If you get any of these get this one because it was okay. It was very sweet and tasted mostly of artificial strawberry but I could at least swallow it. Peanut Butter Truffle: Really tasted like cardboard or stale air. I really can't say anything more I thought of any flavor peanut butter would be the savior but it was also bad. Overall I won't be coming back here unless they make some big changes to the recipes.

My visit to Hebert Candy mansion is solely on visiting Santa. It's an effective way for Hebert…read moreCandies to get families through the door. It was a huge turnout since Santa's visit is free. I was pretty surprised to see that both Santa and Ms. Clause was pretty good production imo--rather then your cheap Santa suit look and feel. We arrived as soon as the event started at 12pm and the line was already out the door. To give you an idea, it takes about 40 minutes in total if you're starting by the door. Those who visit, the line can get long so dress warm. The line does extend to the outside--but once you get inside, it's warm. After pictures with the Clauses, you're more than welcome to shop in their shop. They got a large variety of chocolate, and have the "fancier" chocolate on display. They also do serve ice cream on site. Plenty of parking and they also don't seem to mind you parking on the lawn in front of the building if you need to. Cheers and Happy Holidays.
