This is my go to ice cream spot after discovering it this summer, I'll never go anywhere else. The menu is extensive and has a flavor for every palate. Recently took my friend here and she loved it. She had the blueberry cheesecake. Every flavor I've had here is amazing: highly recommend the southern peach, strawberry cheesecake, cherry amaretto and coconut brownie cheesecake. They have a small inside area to sit and there's 2 picnic tables outside as well. The parking lot is small but many park on the side parking lot which Prbly doesn't belong to the ice cream shop lol or along the sidewalk. read more

I've been to the Johnston Sundaes location several times so I'll start with the positives: There are lots of choices on the menu and the portion size is good. However, the customer service during our most recent visit, which was our first visit of the season, was surprisingly rude, which leaves me wondering if something at Sundaes has changed, hence the two star review. We brought a group of 12 here on Friday night, 5/15/26 at about 7:15 and the employee who took our orders was polite and wrote everything down. We paid for our order all together. It wasn;t very busy when we arrived, but it took quite a while, nearly 10 minutes, for us to receive the first of the 12 ice creams, and then the rest of the order came out little by little. By the time we left, there was a line of about a dozen people. When my ice cream was ready, it didn't have the sprinkles I had ordered. I asked if sprinkles could be put on, and rather than simply adding sprinkles, the employee (manager?), went and checked the paper order, stated that sprinkles weren't written down and that she would have to charge me for the sprinkles. I asked about it again, citing our order was large ($88), and couldn't they just put the sprinkles on that they forgot to include. She replied repeatedly stating that doing that would be against company policy. Hmmmm....... Really? If that's the case, Sundae's policy is pretty poor. This exchange of words left me with a very bad feeling, but as I was with a large group including several kids, I didn't press it any further. Why in the world would a company refuse something that costs pennies to the business, instead making the customer go through the trouble of cashing out again, especially when it was the business' mistake? More ice creams from our order continued to come out at a very slow pace. One ice cream was made with the wrong flavors, and one was forgotten and by the time we received it, most of the other people in our party had already finished eating. At some point as we waited for our ice creams the "manager" called out to me to ask if I wanted rainbow or chocolate sprinkles (I guess the company policy had changed?), but at that point it was too late, she had already set the tone. While the ice cream at Sundaes is fine, I would strongly suggest that the owner of this business provide training to their staff on customer service, and how refusing to honor a request for forgotten sprinkles without incurring a new charge can lose a customer (or in our case a large group of customers) for a long time. Also, the wait time needs to be speeded up. Maybe more staff is needed? With so many other ice cream places within a short drive of Sundae's. I doubt that we'll be back given our most recent experience here. Moose Trackers in Scituate, Gigi's Scoops in Smithfield, or The Parlor Creamery in Cranston are all great places and will get our business the next time our group goes out for ice cream. read more

Very good ice cream! They have a ton of cool flavors in soft serve and hard ice cream, so there's something for everyone! The servers were super helpful in giving feedback on some flavors. It seems like a classic ice cream shop! They have a few tables set up along the side of the parking lot and some tables inside. I do wish they had more outdoor seating available to allow even more people to enjoy! read more

Great selection of flavors and the sizes are huge! I got a kiddie cone and it was the size of a large ice cream anywhere else!

This place used to be one of our favorites unfortunately they have very bad customer service very small portions and very overpriced I requested my ice cream to be in a cone I bought two cones one for me one for my granddaughter I got her a kitty size why is it my medium was the same size as the kids size and I paid $12 for two soft serve ice cream cones the girl gave it to me in a dish I already told her I asked for in a cone she said no I clearly said a dish and I obviously I did not and when I had a remake it it was a problem finally I said why is my medium the same size as the kitty small she had no response to this and I refunded my medium and only got back $5 if someone could please make this make sense or better yet take your business to bomb smoothie right across the street they have incredible service Great values have a great summer everyone read more

I have been coming to sundaes for years! The prices are reasonable and they have indoor and outdoor seating. They have a-lot of different soft and hard serve flavors. They added quite a few new things to the menu this year too! The staff is all young and sweet, they work pretty fast as well. The atmosphere is clean and decorated with cow prints and ice cream pictures and it's just very colorful! Love it here! read more

Sundaes - Ice cream flight - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Johnston, Rhode Island

Sundaes was a stop for the 6th Annual Search for the Best Scoop Shop RI with RI Food Fights. There are 3 Sundaes locations: Cranston, RI, Seekonk, MA and Johnston, RI. I went to the Johnston, RI location. There is limited parking spots since they took out some of the parking to queue for ice cream. There are some picnic tables outside and I saw some seats inside. I had their new flavor - DoughOreo. It is Oreo ice cream loaded with cookie dough pieces. It was really tasty and creamy. Service was good. read more

Sundaes is one of my top childhood favorite icecream spots. I came on a warm Monday night and the line was steady but service was quick. It is a walk up service and grab and go. The outside is painted with cow prints and a couple of picnic tables to enjoy your treat outside. They also have indoor seating but you have to order outside. The only reason why I'm not giving it a 5 Star is because it is not homemade ice-cream. I always get a kiddie size which is one scoop. Their scoops are always consistent and pretty generous. They have a wide variety of flavors between soft serve, hard serve, and frozen yogurt. read more

Delicious frozen treats and excellent customer service. Our vegan/ dairy free family is always able to find something delicious at sundaes and the quality is high! The dairy free customers are not an after thought!! read more

Sundaes - Great consistence and sturdy enough for a cone! That's rare for vegan ice cream! Thanks Sundaes! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Johnston, Rhode Island

They have really good ice cream. Always have. My son likes the blueberry soft serve. I love their flavor: "Graham Central Station" and I'm pretty sure this flavor is from Warwick ice cream- but not 100%, I know Warwick Ice Cream makes this flavor and it's absolutely delicious & my absolute favorite! Add some caramel & whipped cream and it's PERFECTION! Also they give you large portions! 2 scoops is more like 4! But I'm not complaining! Delicious! It's also reasonably priced & not too expensive, like some of these nouveau riche places that open up out of nowhere and it costs $20+ for "gourmet" ice cream. My favorite part about the location is that we can bike here from the Blackstone Valley Bike Path! It's like a 6 minute (round trip) detour from the trail! Very Convenient!! My son and I typically go for a bike ride and at the end we bike here for a sweet treat! Customer Setvice/Staff is ok- mostly younger/high school aged kids & they typically don't go out of their way for the customer but it depends on who you get, but literally nobody in recent years- really stands out here... if they added some outdoor sitting areas & cleaned the interior up (it's looked the same since I was a kid- and it's very outdated), it could be a great little spot, I would love to see an old school style " Ice Cream Parlor" with 50s/60s decor/style & Juxeboxes, milkshakes, cabinets, etc., that would be amazing! I also feel like every time I go here the bathroom is always "out of order". For now it's still good ice cream, and you typically just order at the outdoor window & you can still eat inside (I believe) but there are no longer outdoor tables. But if you're craving ice cream & in the area- I would def stop here! read more

Sundaes - Love this face! He did great with his dentist appt today! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Johnston, Rhode Island

The ice cream was good, but for $12 the portions were lacking. We got there almost 30 minutes before 9. We double checked the time (didn't know it took 30 minutes to scoop ice cream). Two girls were making ice cream and taking orders. One girl was in the back cleaning and honestly just sitting on her phone. If she had been helping then the line would've been a lot faster. When it was our turn to go up it was a little after 9:00. Apparently waiting for 30 minutes doesn't justify getting caramel and cocoa pebbles. One of the girls taking the orders was going to give me the topping (I am 7 months pregnant and worked all day and when I got out of work all I wanted was cheesecake soft serve with caramel and cocoa pebbles (quite literally cried from how bad I craved it)). Then the girl who was not helping with orders at all came in the window with the BIGGEST attitude and was just so blatantly rude. If I wasn't exhausted from being heavily pregnant and working all day I would've probably addressed it. So I left with ice cream I didn't even really want and I'm out $12 and the service wasn't even good. If she wasn't rude I wouldn't have cared, but $12 for 1. half the portion than usual 2. waiting 30 minutes for a singular scoop of ice cream (they were not even that busy) 3. and to top it all off how rude she was I am the LAST person to comment on customer service because I usually brush it off if negative, but the attitude she had actually made me not even want the ice cream anymore. read more

Great ice cream, great flavours, great workers. Quick and easy and sizable amount of flavours and toppings. I personally get mint chip with Oreo pieces and whip cream but I've also had coffee, bubblegum, cotton candy, cookies and cream, and all the basics all very tasteful. Shakes are great and banana splits are great (get all toppings on the split trust me). Non food wise parking lot is a little small (most likely won't be trouble), building looks great. Overall very good and my favourite ice cream place all together. read more

I have been coming here since I was a kid, I can't remember if it was called something different then. The staff here is always so friendly. They have indoor and outdoor seating. They have so many options for flavors. You can get 2 different flavors in a small which is what I usually do. I have tried their mint oreo, chocolate chip cookie dough, black raspberry oreo, black raspberry chocolate chip, blueberry oat and strawberry crunch. They were all very good. read more

Solid ice cream spot. Lots of flavor options, including vegan and sorbet. (Coffee Oreo was delicious.) There are a few picnic benches in the parking lot and I think there is seating inside as well (but you have to order outside). read more

Such a cute family ice cream shop. I was surprised when my waffle cone cost less than $6 dollars. The ice cream was delicious and there's enough parking and seats inside/outdoor if you come with a group of friends. read more

Get the Xtreme chocolate flavor. Thank me later.

I'm giving this 3 stars because I have no complaints about the food. Our problem is that the place is so gross inside we won't be back. There's picnic tables inside with these very worn out plastic table cloths that were hanging to the floor so you're stepping on them, they were sticky and dirty - just sticking to your arms the whole time, and the ceilings/walls haven't been cleaned in what looks like years. I have never seen a ceiling so covered in dust, one of the ducts right in the middle had rings around it like the vent just coughed up layers of dust. The walls around the edges have some kind of grime and rust oozing from the ceiling, I don't know what could be causing so much rust like that inside but I couldn't stop staring at that and the dusty ceiling fans, caked up dusty air vents, and the dirty/damaged drop ceiling tiles just peeling away. On one hand it was very hot today and we were relieved to see we could eat inside air conditioned since there's no shade or anywhere to sit outside there. On the other hand now that we've been inside we won't eat there again. Pros: Great ice cream, lots of options Generous portions Take credit/debit card unlike a lot of places Air conditioning inside Cons: No seating or shade outside, 100% sun so only option is to eat in your car or inside Inside is sticky and dusty, generally filthy on virtually every surface we touched or could see, it appears no one cleans the tables after people are done eating. read more

This place is usually packed out with little parking. Any driver passing by will be intrigued by its crowds. They have a vast selection with a myriad of choices of toppings. Their hard ice cream is better quality than their soft serve. The problem is I'm a soft serve kinda guy. Their soft serve is not kept at a proper temp. It's not smooth or creamy - you can taste/ feel the grittiness to it. I had what would be there "blizzard". They had generous toppings and their servings were plentiful. I just can't get away from their soft serve - it's a B- for me. read more

This is my go to place with my mom. So many flavors to choose from! I always get a size small and they give you so much. One of my favorite flavors from there is peanut butter Oreo! There's an orange cat that hangs outside there cause he likes ice cream too! read more

I'm lucky enough to live within a mile of this ice cream heaven. They do a brisk summertime business and the parking lot can be a bit of a challenge, at times. But the variety is worth the trouble. There are a million flavors of both hard and soft ice cream, as well as the usual sundae options and toppings. They have a fat free, gluten free, sugar free, dairy free option, too!!! If you are a cone snob, rest easy - They have a nice variety, including traditional sugar and wafer cones or big waffle cones. And the sizes are generous - I can barely make it thru a small cone. You can sit inside and enjoy your treat in the AC or sit on a picnic table outside, where there are a few kiddie rides (the coin operated kind). They lack a scenic setting, so it's not exactly destination ice cream..... but it's good!!! The staff is usually friendly and helpful, although I have had occasion to witness some cavorting with friends while the other staff singlehandedly took on a line of customers..... They hire college students and most of them work pretty diligently! They are a great local option for ice cream for the whole family. read more

The most delicious soft serve and hard ice cream around. So many flavors to choose from, you will want to go everyday. The service is great. Alicia, the manager, and staff are always so friendly, courteous and accommodating. read more

Staff are very nice and friendly. Love the huge variety of flavors. Been there twice now and me and my family love it. I do recommend to get out of your comfort zone and try different flavors read more

Ahhh... Sundaes! Always staffed by high school students who, although they would rather be spending their summer vacation at the beach, are always smiley and friendly, even at closing time. Unlike the Sundaes on Oaklawn Ave, this location has a large indoor seating area, so its a safe pick to satiate those rainy day dairy cravings. I like the black raspberry choc chip hard yogurt with low-fat hot fudge. take that, cheat meal! They also have regular soft-serve, a decent selection of hard ice cream and "Önly 8" super low-cal froyo for maintaining that bikini body all summer long. They do accepts cards but bring some cash for the tip jar - these kids definitely work for it! read more

Great ice cream spot! Lots of options for flavor as and types of ice cream. Yummy shakes with fresh fruits!! And last but not least doggy iced treats!! Only gave it four stars because it seems to be a hangout for preteens and teens, it gets a bit annoying with kids yelling when going there with your family. read more

The season for ice cream is here. The staff is friendly and willing to get creative. The Only 8 is a healthier choice. This place gets really busy so patience is needed. Many flavors and large servings make this a great stop for the whole family. read more

After living just down the road from here for the past two years, I finally decided to drop in, enticed and intrigued by the Best of Rhode Island (RI Monthly) sign and my love of ice cream. First, I need to give a shout out to the name. Ice cream parlors/stands/etc. often have uncreative names that are perpetually reused. Sundaes is definitely a new one for me. Now on to the ice cream! Sundaes has a large list of hard ice cream, some of which are your old favorites and some you have never heard before. If you cannot find your favorite flavor here, you don't have one. They also have a few flavors of soft serve. You can get your ice cream of choice in a range of different cones, dipped, or covered in jimmies. There is seating inside, but why would you sit inside when there are tables outside, as well? The parking lot is often crowded and spots are narrow. While there is usually a line to order, it doesn't take long to make your way through it. The cashiers are not particularly friendly but not unfriendly either. The biggest downfall I find with Sundaes, other than the parking lot, is the prices. I find that it is a bit pricey. Will that stop me from returning? No, I have to earn a free ice cream with my frequency card. read more

I love this place! I've gone here several times, and I still love this ice cream. It's probably the best ice cream I've had in my life so far. read more

Yum!! First time here but definitely not the last! Ordered coconut cheesecake brownie and cotton candy and the girl who was taking our order actually asked which one I wanted on top/bottom! I've never been asked before, but I have a preference so I was psyched. Both flavors are delicious. I love that they take credit cards! And we were given a "sundaes card" to get stamped every time and you trade it in for free things, and rainy days are worth two stamps. This place is adorable and I will 100% be back. read more

Great options! Sugar -Free, Fat- Free - Lactose Free and so many flavors! Soft-serve and Hard Yogurt and Ice Cream. Large portions and credit cards accepted. Nice atmosphere with picnic tables outside and outside service or air-conditioned indoor seating with so many flavors including the traditional to "party cake" ice cream! Large portion size and "Freebie" pink cards. Great Birthday cakes too. Gotta go get my fix! read more

I always go for the soft vanilla/chocolate combo but the regular ones are pretty darn good too... So if you're in the area and looking for some good ice cream try their soft one! Credit cards welcome, friendly staff and nice shady area to sit and enjoy. read more

Sundaes - Halfway thru we remember to take a picture! Lol - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Johnston, Rhode Island

Bliss Dairy ice cream, friendly staff, generous portions (give me all the sprinkles), credit cards accepted, and a dedicated, legit (not powdered fake-a-flavor) coffee soft serve machine. Sundaes checks all the boxes for me! read more

I love Sundaes! Been coming here since I was little, as I live right up the street its convenient. I love the brownie batter ice cream, if you're a chocolate lover like myself I suggest you get this. The girls who work in here are very nice and are fast. Overall, I love Sundaes and I look forward to it opening every year! read more

Great variety, friendly staff, clean shop. Holy huge kiddie size though, more like giant obese diabetic kiddie size! My son and I couldn't finish it, but it was good. read more

They sell local Bliss ice cream here and the kids that are typically serving it are nice. The scoop sizes are generous for the price.

This is what summer is all about. I could live off their soft serve swirl! Staff is always friendly and prices are fair. Kid friendly with outdoor seating. read more

The best place to enjoy so many hard serve or soft serve ice cream flavors with lots of toppings! There are options for those looking for non dairy, too. Sundaes takes credit cards which a lot of ice cream places don't. Indoor or outdoor seating and restrooms. They also have doggie sundaes so I always bring one home for my Lab! read more

Amazing ice cream and super friendly service...Although sometimes they forget to give me 3 stamps on my rewards card on rainy days upon which you get 3 stamps instead of one. Other than that, the best! read more

Cannot wait til they open. Best ice cream ever. Especially love their pistacho ice cream. If anyone knows when open day is please post.

Love, love, love going here. The only downside to this location is they're only open from April till October. We've been going here since they opened back in 2002 and always have a great experience, whether it be soft or hard ice cream. On hot, muggy nights, it can get crowded both in the parking lot and inside, but its worth the wait, they have generous portions and its always creamy. We usually go once a week during the months they're open, sometimes twice...... read more
