Has amazing ice cream would recommend! Good service they made my ice cream super fast! read more

$8.34 for a large soft serve on a waffle cone. Seriously?? In Coventry.. not a seaside resort area or a hot spot.

Tried the Tiramisu soft serve, The cone was like 7.00. Was on a basic cone, wasn't asked which cone, would have preferred a sugar cone, served was an obscene amount of soft serve. As for tiramisu you expect something tiramisu like, no, it was just a tiramisu type flavor but nothing special, no texture, no coffee flavor, no ladyfingers, no shake of topping, just a lot of soft serve, too much in my book, I should have stayed with my original thought, which was a small cup. Felt gross for a couple hours after, so much ice cream. Tiramisu..?? this was not close. read more

Just visited this establishment for the first time. I am shocked at the prices for two soft serve ice cream cones. I paid $24 for 2. This probably is the reason why there are no prices. Needless to say, I'll never come back here. The young lady that took our order was great but when I questioned the price, I could tell she was a bit embarrassed. read more

Went to Gelina's today for ice cream. The gentleman behind the counter was by far, the nicest, most professional and kindest person I have ever encountered in retail sales. I waited in line and he was just as nice to everyone that was there. I thank him for his kindness and great conversation. The ice cream was wonderful too. read more

I discovered this spot via RI Food Fights, and since I live in PVD I would have never known it was here- but everyone else did! This seems like a local favorite as there was a solid line on a Monday night, but the line moved quickly and the girls working the window were SUPER friendly and awesome. There were several intriguing flavors, but I didn't want to hold up the line too much by trying them. I did try the Ultimate Peanut Butter Cup, which was peanut butter ice cream (I think?) with peanut butter swirls - it was really good, and if you like peanut butter, it's a good cause. But I was feeling the fruit flavors instead, and I liked that the blueberry had chunks of blueberry. I also asked one of the girls what her favorite was and she said black raspberry chip. I'm a huge black raspberry fan but didn't see it on the menu - that's because it's a "hard yogurt" (it masquerades like an ice cream but has less fat). Done! It was really good--could have fooled me on the ice cream front--and earned its top selling status. I'm happy to now know a great rendezvous spot in this area :) read more

The soft serve watermelon sherbet is so delicious however the portions have gotten smaller and smaller over the years with the price is increasing. I was charged a dollar for rainbow sprinkles today! I have never been charge that much at any place. I just always feel like I'm being ripped off. I'll go to udder delights down the street and get triple the amount for a better quality product and price. read more

Went again today, as always great service. The owner is wonderful. The goodies are great. The prices are good too. No disappointments....

Our favorite ice cream spot the last 2 season. Best black raspberry anywhere. Always has rich and creamy flavors. Other shops around we've noticed the quality of the soft serve has gotten worse, but the flavors here are delicious. read more

Worth stopping by for the Brownie Batter and Coffee Oreo once cream! Owner is friendly and helpful along with his staff. Portions are big and delicious! Highly Recommend! read more

Must have new owners, because this place has NO customer service! SO RUDE!!! They even told us to never come back! read more

I love ice cream... I live in nj and a friend of mine came here last summer and told me to come try this place.... The watermelon ice cream was sooooo fkn gooood!!!! Service was great and the out door seating was clean... the only issue I had there was a Karen in front of me holding up the line...I would definitely recommend coming here! read more

After a long hiatus from this place I wanted to try to give it another review, generally I find second chances can show whole new colors and sometimes every business has a bad day. Unfortunately the service and product here is still appalling and I really can't recommend trying it. My last experience is below for reference, and really the second try wasn't any better, I recommend going elsewhere, I certainly won't be able to gumption up a third try! Previous review: So it's usually pretty hard to mess up ice cream, there are places that are best in class, then there's normal ice cream. Unfortunately there are just a handful of places that can manage to make ice cream unpleasant enough that I can't recommend visiting them. From small servings for normal prices to staff that take your order and go on break (but still remember to charge you). The wait was close to a half hour for a small ice cream cup and a shake, customer who came after us left with their ice cream before we got anything and perhaps worst of all my friends order was melting the whole time we waited. Another couple actually left due to how long the line was (mind you most people were getting there orders but VERY slowly). To top it off when they finally got to the order they forgot half of it so we had to wait a bit longer for that too. I don't often give out one star reviews, but I really can't recommend this place. Maybe if you live next door and really need ice read more

Horrible management, the manager has no respect. Very entitled! Received horrible service from the staff there. Management and staff are both VERY unprofessional! The manager also has 0 respect for his staff. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I definitely would. We came here to grab iced cream with some of our best friends. My husband ordered his milkshake and my ice cream cone, and then the counter worker left and then a girl came to take our friends ordered their ice cream. When the girl came back with our friends ice cream finished before ours, my husband waited until a couple of people passed and we still didn't have our ice cream. So once the line cleared he asked where was ours. The guy worker apparently left to go on break right after taking his order and didn't pass the word on to the other work. Making the wait extra long. Definitely wouldn't recommend this place due to poor customer service. read more

Best ice cream in RI. Great service couldn't recommend this place enough, my family has been going here for years. Try the smores Ice cream flavor! read more

I don't know what these other people are talking about, but this place is AMAZING! These other people either don't have any patience or their friends eat way too fast (and also don't have any manners since they began eating without them.. where's the chivalry these days lol)... I've been going here for years and have loved every visit (maybe a few too many visits). They have every flavor you can dream! There's apple pie to pumpkin spice latte when the weather starts to chill down, strawberry and black cherry for those fruity people, and the ultimate fudgy, chocolaty delicious flavors for the people who really want to indulge. If they don't have what you want in hard ice cream, they can definitely hit that craving with their dozens of soft server ice cream flavors. Not to mention their banana splits are HUGE. They definitely don't skimp on anything, including the friendly smiles. I've always been greeted with a smile and a positive attitude (even when I bring my picky mother-in-law with me.. even she likes it). LOVE LOVE LOVE this place and the sweet employees. They're doing their best and doing a great job! read more

One of the best places I've been to! Their cake batter and Oreo is out of this world!

It's appropriate that I write this review on the Fourth of July ... it's more than just ice cream here ... it's an honest-to-goodness slice of America! Yes, John Cougar Mellencamp could have been referring to this place when he sang "...ain't that America ..." in his 1983 hit song, "Little Pink Houses" (or, in Gelina's case, little pink picnic tables). While the traditional American experience is getting harder to find nowadays, it's still alive and well here, as I experienced on a sweltering Friday afternoon. I rode my motorcycle here on my way home from work, stopping for a chocolate soft-serve cone. A man who I presume was the owner was applying a fresh coat of pink paint to his picnic tables, perspiration pouring off his brow, literally putting sweat equity into his business - the American dream. I engaged in friendly conversation with him as I stood outside, licking my cone in a race against the heat. The local mail carrier drove up, delivered his mail and was then called back to the window, where a young woman handed him an ice cream cone, on the house. I thanked the mailman for his service. After I finished my ice cream cone, and was walking back to my Harley-Davidson, the owner wished me a good day, adding, "Be safe on that thing, bro!" Now, ain't that America? Seriously, this is one hardworking ice cream place - they are open much longer than most independently-owned ice cream stands, closing only in January and February. The ice cream is good - not the best I've ever had, but still very good, with plenty of flavors to choose from. Service has always been very friendly, and it's fun to watch the traffic and motorcycles go by as you enjoy your ice cream. read more

When we come to Rhode Island, this place is always on our list to stop at before we head home. They have a huge menu and seemingly every ice cream flavor that you can think of! Our go to here is the cantaloupe ice cream-- it is to die for! Can't wait to go back! read more

This is a nice little ice cream stand that has a variety of flavors and styles of ice cream. They have nice sundaes and cabinets and ice cream floats. They do not have sugar free ice cream which is disappointing to me. And I have to say that as good as the ice cream is and as nice as the people are I hate sitting out there next to the road. I feel like with the traffic whizzing by that I'm going to get hit by a car at any moment. It's not very relaxing and I think that I would rather go some place that is quieter and where I feel safer and more comfortable to spend time. But their ice cream is very good read more

Staying power has to count for something. So I know they have been here for the two years I have been here. And they have promised to hold their prices to 2010 levels. It looks as though they really try to be a part of and support the community. Also, they serve lots of soft serve, so if you are a soft serve person, this is a place for you. They also do hard shell dip in lots of flavors which is good as well. I am not a soft person, so I went with one of their small selection of ice creams. The wife had a banana split (made with soft serve) and the daughter had a soft serve cone dipped in cherry. Suffice it to say that we will probably not be going back, but not because it was bad or anything. The ice cream is just not as good as Brickleys and the soft serve was just okay. Having worked at a place that specializes in it, I can tell you it was pumped full of too much air. This lets them stretch the product, it makes it light in your hand and melt incredibly fast. Also, it will not hold it's shape. All of these things happened to the ladies. But, I have to give them some credit for the selection and their staying power. Ice cream alone would only get them 2 stars. read more

I've been going to his place since I was a kid and it hasn't changed one bit, in a good way. The prices are still reasonable and over the years even though the staff changes they're still very friendly! Great summertime hangout! read more

Gelina's Ice Cream - the front of the store - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Coventry, Rhode Island

With the service being bad you'd expect to have great ice cream but the ice cream/shakes are just ok at best.

The ice cream was closer to a milkshake and the service was awful i find it not worth your time or money for such treatment.

Friendly service with a smile. Delicious ice cream sundaes. Perfect chocolate milkshakes. Love this place! read more

Gelinas has been a part of my summer routine for 10 years now. The staff is always so nice, the quality of the ice cream is never a disappointment, and no matter where I've moved throughout the state I've never forgotten to travel to my favorite ice cream! Thanks for being the best! read more

Great selection of soft serve, not a large selection of hard ice cream. The other comment was pretty spot on so I won't say the same things over again, but it does melt quick! So far my goal is to try a new flavor every time we go... which means it may take a LONG time to try them all, but that's cool. The ice cream is not very creamy which is why I can't give this place more stars, but it is also not the other extreme of frosty, it's kind on in between. Overall I would recommend this place. One because there is no other options around here, but it's also just a few minutes from the house which is nice! They have enough seating for a crowd too, and the seating is OK. If a Mr.Sofetee truck every makes it's way here from NY I would forget this place existed, but that won't happen, so I'll keep going :) read more

Hello old friend! This is one of those few places that I look back on as a kid and remember as a great time. Hot summer days always let to Gelina's. They have every flavor you could ever imagine. Prices a very reasonable, and a nice on-a-dime treat. The only downfall is that they are located in the middle of a busy intersection and there is very little parking, but don't let that stop you, it doesn't stop anyone else, they are always hopping busy! read more

I stopped by to try the Only 8 frozen yogurt. I don't know how this wonderful treat escaped me. There is only one flavor each week. They had black raspberry. This was lighter than average soft serve ice cream and very creamy and delicious. it is less sweet than regular ice cream. I found it to be absolute perfection! I will be visiting frequenty to try all of the flavors. The girls at Micheal Gelina's were very friendly and helpful. read more

I've been going here for years. Great place, great service and excellent ice cream! Always a go to on HOT summer days

Awful service, the employees were rude, the ice cream mediocre at best. Id definitely pick a different place next time Im craving ice cream. Dont waste your time folks! read more

The ice cream at Gelina's is really good although it can be a bit pricey when buying for more than 1 person it's worth it. Gelina's icecream can be busy at times but that's a good sign for new people. If you live near it you should definitely try it, it's a good treat. They offer a variety of flavors and cones. Also their frozen yogurt is delicious read more

#1 Ice cream spot in Rhode Island. Ive been coming to Gelina's for years and they have never disappointed. They have such a wide selection of delicious treats ranging from (but not limited to) ANY FLAVOR of soft serve you can imagine, Only8 & Dairy Free Ice Creams, Old Fashion Hard Ice Cream, and even Chocolate Dipped Frozen Bananas!!! Gelina's Ice Cream has the loveliest, most pleasant staff, that is always putting their customers first. This staff is always working very hard to take and complete your orders as fast and accurate as possible. Not for nothing, if you've never been to Gelina's you're missing out! read more

Best ice-cream in all of a Rhode Island! Been going here since I was a kid and every time I go I receive excellent customer service and amazing ice cream! Highly recommend this place! read more

Don't say that your hours of operation are till 10 o'clock if you're going to close the ice cream shop early at 9:55. If ur clock says 10 o'clock and it's indeed 9:55 I'd suggest you fix that. read more

Great little ice cream place down in Coventry. They have both soft serve and hard serve ice cream as well as slushes and Italian Ice and they were very reasonably priced. They also have one of the best ice cream flavors ever, Triple Peanut Butter. It is peanut butter ice cream with a double peanut swirl. If you love peanut butter, you have to try it. If you are in the area and have a craving for ice cream, give it a shot. read more

Service left much to be desired and I'd have to say quantity of choices didn't compensate for the lack of quality

I have been going to Gelina's since my childhood. I love the ice cream, always friendly and fast service. The selection is great. Since new ownership a few years ago, there have been improvements made on the outdoor seating which is great. No one wants yo get into their car with a drippy ice cream! I cannot wait until i have children so i can share my memories of Gelina's with them.. read more
