When he talks about his ice cream, he speaks with such confidence and pride in it being healthier and unlike any other gelato-- and I can definitely attest to this! Also, I'm super sensitive to dairy & his gelato gave me zero stomach issues! My boyfriend and I love it here and we came immediately the next day :) Please visit this place & share some love to them from me: a super satisfied Californian!

I am hesitant to go back here, but it's a cute storefront in a very trafficked area, so they will always do a great business in the heart of Newport. Very friendly service boosts this rating up a bit. Very clean and not too crowded. There is also something to be said for that.

The place seemed to be older so the door was stuck and staff had to come struggle to open it. Inside is typical of ice-cream shop with counter and the cooler with different type of gelato/sorbet. They have variety of flavors and some interesting one like Dubai chocolate, mandarin and Maine blueberry. They do let you try if you ask so if you are not sure you can ask to try them. I ended up getting large just so i can try different flavors and it's also just $1 difference from each size. I ended up getting Belgian chocolate, peanut butter browny and chocolate chip affogato flavors. They were all very tasty. I was impressed by the Belgian chocolate as it was super rich chocolate flavor i was looking for a while. Service was good but the staff did struggle with the door and had issue with credit card reader too. Maybe should be more ready for customer when they open. Overall i still liked their gelato and would be a good stop for frozen treat in Newport.

They…read morehave some pretty awesome ice cream with a huge variety of options, from milkshakes and hard ice cream to sundaes and ice cream sandwiches, there's truly something for everyone. A quick heads up: this place is cash only, but they do have an ATM conveniently located on site, which makes it easy if you forget. Parking isn't the biggest lot, but there's additional space next door, so we've never had much trouble finding a spot. The staff is always friendly, and even when the line looks long, it moves surprisingly fast. We especially love stopping here with our son on the way home from soccer practice...it's become one of those little traditions we all look forward to. If you're looking for a fun, family friendly ice cream spot with great options and hometown charm, this place is definitely worth the stop!

It was evening - almost 9pm - and we'd just finished a walking tour with Ghost Tours of Newport. What did we want after traversing the cobble stone streets of Newport and paranormal investigating? Non-Dairy Ice Cream from Ben & Jerry's, that's what. We weren't going to make it in time to get to the one by Bannisters Wharf (the one we'd been frequenting during our trip to the coastal town), so Yelp pointed us to this location luckily. We got in before closing and there were still a bunch of people in line. When we got to the counter, we ordered a green cup to share of a macchiato flavor. So good! And the girls behind the counter were nice. I would recommend this ice cream shop if you're in this part of Newport and in need of some socially responsible and eco-friendly ice cream :)

The shop is smaller, but clean, cute and easy to pop in and out. The area of Newport where it is, is very nice. I enjoyed both of these cupcakes a lot. The lemon curd filling in the lemon was super good. Both cupcakes were moist, not too rich, and the frosting was amazing. It still had a very "frosting" flavor but it was thick and creamy enough to hold its shape, but not totally like you're just eating sugar. The chocolate raspberry cupcake was amazing. The raspberry frosting is extremely memorable and the chocolate flavor of the cupcake was very good. I am a big vanilla cake fan, as a lot of chocolate cake sometimes tastes funky, but I assure you this one is very good. The girl at the counter was very nice, and helpful with other customers questions. I recommend!
