    Small cup of forest berries and mango sorbet
    Meghan M.

    AHHH so good! So much better than ice cream. There is never a flavor I don't like! The shop always smells like waffle cones when you walk in and the shop is very accommodating to dietary restrictions, with lots of gluten free flavors and vegan sorbets. I also work here in the summer and my boss is so nice. I love working here!

    Pompelmo Gelateria was a stop for the 6th Annual Search for the Best Scoop Shop RI with RI Food Fights. I liked the unique flavors at Pompelmo Gelateria. I had their taste the tropics which had dragon fruit, passion fruit, pineapple, mango and ginger. This was such a unique flavor and it tasted delicious. It also came with a waffle cookie. There are 3 tables inside for seating. Service was great and friendly.

    Absolutely delicious gelato

    I absolutely adore this Gelateria. It's located in downtown Westerly and it is closed during the winter season just fyi. They have award winning flavors and a bright and welcome store front and interior. I've literally been counting down the days until they are open and I can go and get my first few scoops. Pro tip is to get the waffle cone, it's fresh and it's so good. I've tried a few flavors of the gelato and have yet to be even remotely disappointed. It's a gem of a spot.

    Having a stroll early evening around downtown Westerly, RI,before taking in a play at the local theater. Most of the businesses were already closed, and we happened upon this wonderful place. The flavors of Gelato were diverse and rich in taste, where all the customers' needs and palates were exceeded! Strongly recommended, and please try it out, you will not be disappointed!

    Mango peach!

    Lovely gelato [hole in the wall] spot we found searching for dessert in RI. The interior was super cute & there were also three tables with seats in case you wanted to sit and eat. The two boys working behind the counter were incredibly friendly and sweet! They let us sample a few flavors with a smile on their face. Being a coffee lover, I was drawn to the cappuccino gelato flavor & it was absolutely yummy! Definitely a cute spot to visit + amazing service, 10/10 & would visit again!

    Great place to grab a gelato cake for your gatherings and parties. I've had two parties so far with great custom gelato cakes. They taste amazing , the owner is very friendly and knowledgeable and just creates masterpieces !

    Enjoyed my visit. Staff was nice and shared recommendations. Gelato was a good consistency and tasted great!

    Cute spot

    I appreciate a couple who's gone to Italy to learn to make gelato, and there are few places to get a good gelato in Rhode Island (I'm thinking Newport and Block Island...are there others?) so this was an exciting find! As far as gelato goes, I had one I really loved (the chocolate cherry) and one that was okay (peanut butter). I'd say if you're in the area, it's a definite thumbs up and check it out. But I don't know if I'll make a day trip down to Westerly again JUST for gelato (but I will be back, I'm sure!) PS. The scoops are true Italian size, not American. Just to warn you, it's a small cup.

You either have to park in the lower lot, or stop in when walking the shops. Some of the flavors are unique. Lately I'm stuck on Ube, which I was told is Phillipino eggplant. It has a slight chocolate taste to me. Again, there's so many flavors there that you can't get or find at any local ice cream stand or shop. Best part is they're open all year round, so this isn't seasonal. They do have a freezer unit that has many products and flavors that they carry, in 1 pint containers to take home. They have what was a store front window display area where you can sit and enjoy, while overlooking traffic going by. If you're going to eat at any of the area restaurants, don't eat dessert there, but instead come here. You won't be disappointed.

They had a huge…read moreselection of flavors and had one of the owners was telling us how he had recently started working to add diffrent spirts to his flavors. While we were there someone came in asking for a bourbon flavor which unfortunately he was out of but I did get the Kahlua flavor which I would absolutely recommend. We went pretty late on a Wednesday so there was plenty of parking and seating but I understand from my parents, who have gone many times, that it can get pretty busy. So plan accordingly.

The ice cream is always delicious, the employees are so sweet, and the cookies... OMG honey, they're massive. One cookie is big enough for four adults to share and still be happy. Another highlight is the little carousel out front--it's such a charming touch and perfect for kids. Between the treats, the atmosphere, and the friendly service, this place is a must-stop every time we visit.

    I was originally intending to go to a different shop for ice cream but since they did not take…read morecash, I stumbled upon this one. The ice cream/gelato prices were a bit high in my opinion, and I was not too impressed by the flavor selection or quality. I was sold on getting a peanut butter ice cream scoop but after looking at the tub physically, I decided against it since it looked like it has melted and been refrozen. Instead, I got a scoop of the cookie dough gelato. One thing I did appreciate is that it did not have chocolate chips. I can't believe I'm saying this, but it did have too many cookie dough chunks - I would say on average, 3-5 chunks per spoonful so I couldn't really taste the gelato as much. I should've asked for a sample beforehand. It also had a mild freezer taste which I did not like. I think one standard scoop ending up being around $9. There were a lot of people when I got there so it might have been just me who did not have such a great experience. They did have a couple benches and tables outside. Also, I believe they have a sit down outdoor dining area for their restaurant portion, and they had some live music going which was nice. In addition, when you first walk in, they have a LARGE selection of pastries and they all look tasty. This shop is very close to where the ferry picks up and drops off in case you are looking for a treat before hopping on.
