After a family photo shoot at a beach, we headed to Baron's for ice cream. It was an incentive for…read morethe cooperation of the grandkids. 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.

The staff working the counter were efficient and kind as well, definitely nice to see. I chose the cherry vanilla which was great! I felt the ice cream could have had a little more cherry flavor- it tasted like a sweeter vanilla. But, the consistently itself was outstanding. Very creamy and indulgent. For $12 for a small and kiddie I thought the prices were reasonable and I would definitely come back and try again!

Another great restaurant in Jamestown.

This place has an identity crisis. Is it a restaurant? A snack bar? Or an ice cream place? It took…read moreme 10 minutes to even find tge entrance to 1 Ferry Wharf. How about some signage? All you see is a sign that says " Snack Bar" I even walked around tge corner on the docks and then I saw tables with people eating. But no entrance. So I walked through the back and came out at tge snack bar entrance lol. Anyway, I just ordered a fish chowder to go. This took 20 minutes to come out and it only came because the hostess noticed I was waiting for so long for a cup of chowder to go. So, I get back to where I was staying and....no spoon! Are you kidding? The taste was ok and the homemade oyster crackers added a salty taste to the chowder for balance. But there were only tiny flecks of fish in the chowder. One and done on this place. They need to take a good look at what kind of restaurant they want to be.

The dish was ruined and the waitress wasn't around. If she had come back to ask, I would have sent it back. I knew I'd have to wait a while for another meal and my husband was already eating. So I ate the clams and left the rest. This meal was so beyond awful, I will not come back. And I used to enjoy coming here.

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

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.
