A family owned, old school ice cream parlor that brings you back in time about 50 years. I can…read moreappreciate a good homage to what once was. I am all for new trendy vibey establishments but there's something so special about that old school classic vibe. There is so much attention to detail when the branding was designed that mustn't be over looked. The owners are also outstanding humans and constantly giving back to the community and supporting Local fundraisers. The staffing is usually on the younger side but I can appreciate a young teenager that wants to get out there and work in the community. Social interaction is super important in one's growth and you get to experience that first hand the more often you visit. I have always had great experiences, and I believe the owners are doing things right when they are interviewing and finding goo staffing. You can tell Mel has a passion for baking/culinary/sweets and provides an absolute top notch experience. From sundaes to ice cream flights and even big kahuna challenges, there is literally something for everybody. The menu is forever changing with seasons and customer input :) I tend to bring my young boys in for a small treat on the summer weekends when we're in downtown Westerly. We purposely plan on getting there at opening which is noontime. At that time of day they are much slower than later on into the evening. This allows my picky/indecisive boys to try a few flavors before committing to something. They can also perouse all the candy/ sweet treats, which they will inevitably convince me to get something to take home with them. I highly recommend stopping in for an after dinner sundae after a nice dinner at one of the other local dining establishments Cheers *****Spoiler alert. I cannot wait to see the finished product of the step side ice cream/sweet treat truck, coming to a town near you***

I really wanted to like this place and to find a new place to snag some ice cream. Once upon a…read moretime, someone put a lot of effort in the decor and concept; however, that love seems to have been lost. Sundae options were uninspired. The floors hadn't been swept in quite a long time, and overall, a bit of dinginess has set in. I feel sad about this rating... hopefully someone will bring the charm back.

It is absolutely out of this world! The staff is exceptional and had no problem picking out something delicious when I let them pick. The made it quickly and seemed happy to do so. Honestly, I forget what she called what I got but it was definitely the right choice. From what I could tell, everything in this place would be scrumptious. If you're ever in the area, any time of year, be sure to give them a try. And tell them King Sean sent you.

Very milky almost yogurt feeling. Though there were chunks of cookie dough in mine, you could of fooled me. I hardly could tell when I bit into or was chewing on any pieces of them they didn't have that cookie dough flavor in my opinion. It was good, not bad. But just decent. Maybe I am more for the sweet and flavorful haha. If you like it lighter maybe you will love them. The three kids that were in there only one was taking it serious. The other two were messing around playing with each other (boy and girl) while there was a line. Also, pricier than most.

You can relax at one of the outdoor tables, sit inside if you prefer, and simply enjoy the beautiful property and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area and looking for great ice cream in a peaceful setting!

On a 78 degree clear Sunday evening in mid July, the two lines to place orders were long, and the parking lot was full. The quality of the home made ice cream makes Baron's a summer destination. It is amazing how organized and well thought out the ordering system is. There are two lines/windows for orders, and a third line/area for pick up. If you pay with a card, there is a staff member expediting orders while you stand in line. Staff brings your order out. It only took 25 minutes from arriving to indulging.

Ice cream candy and…read more lots of ocean The Scoop Shack is a ice cream and old fashion candy store that features fantastic home made ice cream. I believe it's relatively new because I've never noticed it before on Block Island and I tend to notice ice cream places. Then again it is sort of tucked away in a corner and could be hard to see. The store is small, with a counter for the scream and various candies and other treats scattered around. A couple of tables inside and a courtyard overlooking the ocean on the outside. Saying that the view is great is actually an understatement. We didn't bother with the candy but the ice cream was absolutely incredible. Smooth and rich and no doubt containing a astronomical amount of calories and fat, just the way great ice cream should be. They don't have vast amount of different types but enough variety to satisfy anybody except those looking for something very unusual. There aren't many things better in life than sitting in a beautiful spot over looking the ocean and devouring great ice cream. Even though it was hoter than hell when we were on the island, a cool breeze was coming off the water and combined with the richness and algidity of the great ice cream the world was a perfect place. At least our little part of the world. Their are lots of ice cream places in the world but The Scoop Shack is one of those special places that I will always seek out when I'm on Block Island. The place to relax and just appreciate the moment and forget everything else. The ice cream here is exceptional but no matter how good the scream is, the views will always be even better.

I tried their blueberry chocolate flavor and was surprised by chomping on hearty pieces of fresh berries and large chocolate chunks. The waffle cones are really pricey, however, and I can't state whether they're worth it or not, since I wasn't willing to shell out $8. Overall, this is a good spot if you (or your kids) are yearning for ice cream on a hot summer day and it won't hurt your wallet as long as you're all willing to share a kiddie sized ice cream =P
