Took a foodie daytrip with friends to Providence one Saturday afternoon and were so impressed by Tricycle! Parking/Ambiance: streetside was convenient behind. Look closely to find the unassuming establishment nestled within a quiet neighborhood. The space is nestled within an impressive array of indoor plants. The logo is adorable. Service: there was no line when we arrived but about 10 people when we left. We were promptly invited to look at the chalkboards (or an ipad) for a menu. No taste testing as they are all sandwiches/tacos pre-made. Friendly and prompt service. Ice cream: wow, a 10/10! As recommended, we patiently waited 5min for it to thaw to the perfect texture. We tried the Ube with coconut, Banana pudding with peanut butter, and Red Velvet with chocolate... worth every penny of the $5.50/$6.50! Creamy, light, not overly sweet... exciting but not avant garde. There's space for about 8-9 people to sit inside, so be prepared to take large parties outside to enjoy! Can't wait to be back!
I've been dying to try this ice cream shop ever since hearing that they offer the rare Ube flavor of ice cream - one of my favorites and so hard to find! They were finally open on a Wednesday when I was in the area - really appreciating their new extended summer hours - so some friends and I walked over. This is located in an easily walkable part of the city where street parking is pretty doable, so it's a great stop to work in to a friend hang or date night since it's near breweries and restaurants. I had my heart set on the Ube, but the other flavors were awfully tempting - I'm dying to come back for the Fruity Pebbles taco and/or ice cream sandwich ASAP! I ordered the Ube ice cream sandwich, which came on coconut cookies, was dipped in white chocolate, and covered with coconut flakes, for $6.50. The ice cream color was bright purple as Ube often is, and the cookies were soft and perfectly melt in your mouth despite being frozen. I was advised by the owner to let it sit for a few minutes before eating as they start out very cold. I could only stand to wait a few minutes before diving in, which ended up being a fine amount of time. The flavors were decadent, the Ube was so sweet and indulgent, like an extreme vanilla as I always describe it, but with a root/woodsy note to it that's hard to explain. I was totally in heaven while eating this! My friends loved their options: Thai iced tea sandwich, Fruity Pebbles sandwich, and Banana sandwich. The pistachio sandwich was reportedly a little too mild for some tastes. My friend got their limited edition ** corn and blueberry!!** flavor sandwich - WHAT!? So unique! I had to steal a bite and was pleasantly surprised - I didn't get blueberry in my bite, but it was like frozen corn chowder - not savory, but still a distinctly 'corn' flavor, not corn flakes, but true, actual, corn. The cookies were thin and square shaped and seemed like a cross between cornbread and a sugar cookie, although I'm not exactly sure what it was. I'd go back here to try more things in a heartbeat, and the amazing and large plants on display in this little shop give such a fresh, unique, and fun vibe. There are some small tables to eat at while you're here which came in handy for us, and the owner even let us hang out a few minutes past close, stating he'd be there anyways cleaning, so we didn't have to go wait outside in the rain - so sweet on all levels!
Yea not to be dramatic but this was the best ice cream sandwich I've ever had. Tucked away in the corner of Battey St. I truly wouldn't have even known if my friend hadn't pointed it out! Plenty of indoor seating, loved that the worker at checkout handed us the ipad to make our scrolling experience / choosing what we wanted so much easier. And all the aesop hand sanitizer? Obsessed What incredible flavors / flavor combos! I got the Sweet summer corn & blueberry blondie bar and WHEWWW I was blown away. So flavorful- and these things are HUGE! For only $7 too? So worth it. We will absolutely be returning as it seems they have flavor drops weekly
Simple in design, but rich in flavor and creativity. Their menu is comprised of pre-made ice cream cones, tacos, push pops, and sandwiches ranging between $4-$8. The menu is drawn onto a chalkboard and does list all the flavors and toppings in each one. I chose the red velvet ice cream sandwich this time which had red velvet ice cream swirled with cream cheese frosting stuffed between two chocolate cookies and partially dipped in white chocolate coated with cookie crumbs. They do tell you to wait about 10 minutes before eating it since they are really frozen, so in that time, my friend and I drove to the pedestrian bridge to eat our ice cream by the river. I wish the cookie could be soft, since it does make biting into a little tricky in the beginning. They had a slightly dark chocolate flavor with a hint of saltiness. The ice cream was really good, but the frosting made it even better. I thought it was the white chocolate dip that was added the additional creamy and sweet goodness but it was the frosting the whole time. I enjoyed everything about this flavor. My friend got the chocolate taco. I am personally not a fan of chocolate ice cream, but it was still decent to me. The toppings of shaved coconut and nuts was tasty.
Found this gem when I was poking around on Yelp. The location is on an unsuspecting corner in a neighborhood - luckily I found parking right across from the store. The store was quiet when I arrived. Service was fast and friendly. They have lots to choose from on their menu. I wanted to try so many things but because I was driving back to Boston and wasn't sure whether it would totally melt, I tried an ice cream sandwich. For myself I chose the banana pudding and for my hubby, the mint n chip. They double-bagged them and I put them on the floor in front of the floor AC and turned that baby on full blast. To my surprise, they were completely in tact when I arrived home. Yes, I was freezing the whole ride back given it was 51 degrees and rainy. Anyways onto the ice cream sammies - my hubby loved his. I thought mine was good but I felt like the cookie was too rich - it definitely did not need the chocolate dipped side with peanuts. I'm not sure why but this combo wasn't super appealing to me. The ice cream was very good but more on the sweeter side. Next time I'm in the area I want to try the strawberry taco.
Such nostalgic flavors and ice crram styles! They have ice cream sandwiches, tacos, push pops, and every treat is individually wrapped to go~ they are very large in serving size. My push pop was perfect to eat which driving, but I had help wiping my hands because I didn't want it to melt ! I got the mango and Tajín, and it fulfilled my childhood of adding Tajín to everything. I still do~ will come again! Very close to other food stops and street parking only.
Probably the best ice cream sandwiches I've ever had. The place was busy but thankfully the workers there handed out tablets to customers to get a better view of their sandwich and ice cream offerings. The line moves fast so I wouldn't turn away if you walk in and see 10+ people ahead of you. The "Cookie Compost" ice cream sandwich was my favorite of the 2 sandwiches I ordered. It features sweet cream ice cream with chunks of double chocolate brownies, brown butter blondies, and chocolate chip cookies on cocoa cookies Dipped in Callebaut chocolate and topped with Oreo pieces. It was amazing. The Creamy Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Ice Cream + Ghirardelli Cocoa Cookies was good as well. It has peanut butter ice cream with dark chocolate pieces inside sandwiched between Ghirardelli cookies.
DID I JUST FIND THE BEST ICE CREAM EVER? Maybe!!!!!! Man oh man did this spot HIT! It was absolutely DELICIOUS! I got the cookie compost ice cream sandwich and as a chocolate lover, it was absolutely divine!! Not too overwhelmingly sweet and it hit just the perfect amount of sweetness I was looking for. The Matcha ice cream was also very, very good and the way that they make their own ice cream here it must be studied because it is just SO good. You can just taste the freshness that comes with their ice cream flavors here. I generally cannot wait to return here to have some more ice cream because I just know that no matter what I get from here, it will be absolutely delicious! If you're even considering coming here for one second trust me GO GO GO it will be one of the best ice cream(s) of your life!
I've been here a couple of times or had their stuff when they were on the bicycle. But haven't had anything recently, I'm never in the area when they are open. I was around the other day and the smell of the cookies baking made me come inside! They have a lot of fun options if you don't have dietary restrictions but still have tasty options for dairy free and wheat free! I had a dairy free Oreo ice cream sandwich! They also had chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla as an option plus sorbet pops! Very tasty.
First time visiting and we were greeted warmly right away. We checked out the menu on an iPad, which was really convenient, and they also had a cute handwritten menu. After placing our order, an employee asked what other dessert we might have chosen. My partner said mint chocolate chip, and the employee surprised us with two mini mint chocolate chip sandwiches on the house. We took our treats to a nearby park. They were very cold (in a good way), and we were advised to wait a few minutes before eating them, which was perfect since it was such a hot day. We didn't talk at all while eating our ice cream sandwiches , they were that good. It's also great to know they offer catering. A must try spot. The banana pudding sandwich was my favorite - I couldn't believe how good it was.
Im not a huge ice cream sandwich store fan, but I am huge gourmet/unique ice cream fan and tricycle ice cream always has unique flavors/ice cream sandwiches (for their specials and just regular options). They also have ice cream tacos that I've always wanted to try but never have. Mostly because they always have a flavor of ice cream sandwiches that I want! Also the ice cream sandwiches are pretty big so I think the tacos would be MASSIVE. This is a great post-There There dessert that you can eat right after or take home and eat later
This isn't your typical ice cream shop, which was such a pleasant surprise. Everything here is homemade, from the ice cream cookie sandwiches to the sorbet push-up pops and even ice cream tacos. The flavors are just as creative as the treats themselves from ube, Thai tea, and red velvet. The staff was also super friendly, which made the experience even better. The shop is small, but there are a few picnic tables tucked around the side if you want to hang out and enjoy your treat. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for something a little different and a lot delicious. Pro tip- let the ice cream sit for a minute or two before taking a bit... they are really frozen solid.
I jave been to Tricycle 3 times now. I have a solid assessment of this confectionary shop. The smell is overwhelmingly delicious but I haven't quite matched it in flavor. What I have had: - red velvet ice cream sandwich ( red velvet cookies with cake batter ice cream) - pistachio vanilla ice cream sandwich (vanilla cookies with pistachio ice cream) - strawberry push pop When you order the ice cream cookies you have to give them time to soften. Each time the sandwich is OK. My taste buds aren't as jazzed as the smell of the place. I can share the pistachio vanilla barely has any flavor. Why spent $5 for basically nothing? The fruit pops are where its at though! It certainly doesn't match the smell but taste super fresh and packed with fruity flavor. Reminds me of the pospsicles in Puerto Rico. I would highly suggest the push-ups! Pro tip: eat at Pizza J's. Grab dessert at Tricycle and then stop by Moniker Brewery. (You can eat you ice cream there.) Makes for a nice day. All within 2 small blocks of each other.

Listen. I don't even like ice cream, rare occasion if I try a spoonful. I came in to get gift cards as prizes for my babyshower this weekend. The staff was wicked nice & took their time to do my gift cards , sign them & put them all in separate satchels with their logo stamped. So cute. While I was waiting the blueberry crumble ice cream caught my eye. 7 months pregnant & my favorite dessert. I figured I would give it a try. To my surprise when I opened it & saw the pie crust shaped cookie! It's ridiculously good! Taste better than what I could ever expect . Some Willy Wonka type magic! I called my sister & best friend to tell them how good it is! Go there , try something you won't be disappointed! read more
Rating: 4.5 Came to try this ice cream place i've been meaning to try after getting dinner at there there as I've noticed it's right next to it. It's a small local ice-cream shop with variety of unique ice cream options. Inside is small and there are not really seatings to expect to take them outside or bring it home. They have a big blackboard at the top that shows their menu and also has ipad that has menus as well. They offer ice-cream sandwiches, ice cream tacos, push pops, and cones. I got their almond coconut chocolate ice cream taco. It was very chocolaty with hint of almonds and coconut flavor. The crunchy shell with chocolate was tasty. A bit heavy and rich but to be expected. Service is quick as they seem to have all the ice-cream already prepped in the freezer. Overall, the place was good. Another unique Ice cream shop in the area which is always welcome. Would like to coke back yo try their other type of ice-creams. read more

Finding a parking spot will be difficult if you decide to come here however I got lucky. As soon as a driver took off I took their spot a couple of streets down. I ordered the Ube ice cream sandwich which was good but it didn't taste too much like Ube like how I'm used to. Hubby got the Fruity Pebble taco ice cream which was also good. The thing I didn't like, though is that this place isn't made for dining in. They have tables but it's also at the same spot you stand to order food. There's also no excitement in seeing how they make your ice cream, the cashier just took out both of our ice creams from the freezer and handed them to us. They were wrapped it paper. She also mentioned that they are still frozen and we should wait a couple of minutes before we eat them. And that's a buzz kill too because if I'm getting ice cream I want to dive into it asap. We ended up getting our ice creams and walking back to our cars to eat them. We passed by other customers who were leaning against the building eating them because....no patio seating or enough room inside to eat. Overall: both ice creams were delicious but lack of parking, lack of sit down dining and pre-made ice creams wrapped up in the freezer was a no go for me. read more

Tricycle I.
Hello,…
I'm SO GLAD I finally had the chance to check out Tricycle Ice Cream! It's dangerously close to my workplace--just a quick hop, skip, and jump away--and it's officially in my regular rotation now. I visited on one of the first warm days of the season with a coworker, eager to try the mouthwatering treats I'd seen online. Let me tell you: they looked just as delicious in person as they did in the photos. Street parking was easy to find in the late afternoon/early evening, which was a nice bonus. Inside, choosing just one treat was the hard part--everything sounded amazing. I eventually settled on an ice cream sandwich with maple walnut ice cream between two blondies. WOW. It was incredible. The ice cream was creamy, the blondies were rich and sugary, and it only barely started to melt by the time I finished the last bite. My coworker opted for a matcha ice cream sandwich with vanilla/orange shortbread cookies--another standout. The menu changes, but I was really impressed by the range of flavors. Whether you're in the mood for something classic or want to try something a little different, there's something for everyone. On our visit, flavors included vanilla, mint chocolate chip, chocolate, Thai tea, peanut butter, Fruity Pebbles, Oreo, strawberry, matcha, passionfruit, pistachio, horchata, coffee, ube, red velvet, banana pudding, and sweet cream. In addition to sandwiches (including some specialty options), they offer cones, ice cream tacos, and sorbet push pops. Everything comes pre-made and wrapped in simple white paper with a cute Tricycle Ice Cream sticker and red-and-white twine--adorable presentation. The shop itself is cozy and welcoming, with bar seating inside and picnic tables out back. Inside, you're surrounded by a cheerful tangle of plants along the windows. There was a steady stream of customers, but it never felt crowded. The staff were warm and friendly, answering our questions and making us feel right at home. Can't wait for my next visit! read more

We went the wrong way but we still managed to drop by 2 minutes before closing and the staff still welcomed us in--kind of them and very appreciated! The space has limited seating, but that didn't matter for us and I'm sure most customers grab-and-go. What stood out right away was the variety of premium, creative flavors: Kyoto Matcha, Brazilian Passionfruit, Thai Tea, and Callebaut Chocolate, just to name a few. Everything tasted authentic, not overly sweet, and thoughtfully made. We checked out flavor descriptions and photos on their iPad before ordering, which was helpful since the menu has a lot of descriptive, loopy text. They offer ice cream sandwiches ($5.50), specialty ones ($6.50), and seasonal options, plus other fun treats like ice cream tacos ($8), drumsticks ($8), and sorbet push pops ($4). We went for: - Pistachio on Vanilla Cookies - creamy, rich, and nutty. Loved the natural flavor. - Ube on Toasted Coconut Cookies - nice deep purple color, but a bit underwhelming in taste - Oreo Cookies & Cream on Salted Caramel Drizzled Chocolate Cookies - rich and decadent. The ice cream sandwiches are frozen solid, so we were instructed to wait 10-15 minutes for them to thaw a bit. The shortbread cookies were harder than I expected, and they don't offer many soft options. But this is good because it doesn't get messy and stick to your fingers. And it highlights the ice cream flavor and creaminess better. The staff was friendly and shared the backstory behind the Tricycle name, though there was a bit of unwarranted shade when they found out we're also from SoCal, but OC not SD (where she's from). Also, I feel like I must point out the Aesop hand sanitizer--random but delightful touch. Doesn't scream bougie in here, but that detail made me do a double take. read more

Tricycle Ice Cream in Providence might just be the place that proves ice cream isn't only for sunny days. Even with the arctic chill, I couldn't resist stopping by while I was in town--and it was worth it! I had the Banana Pudding Ice Cream with Nilla Wafers sandwiched between two Peanut Butter Cookies, dipped in Callebaut Chocolate, and topped with roasted peanuts. Probably the best ice cream sandwich I've ever had, and I don't say that lightly. These folks don't just make ice cream; they create art. Have you seen their IG page? And everything tastes just as good! From cones and tacos to creative ice cream sandwiches, everything feels like a special treat. They also have specials (though they'd sold out by the time I arrived--and I hear they're super fun and creative seasonal flavors). Next time, I've got my eye on the horchata sandwich. If you're in Providence, do yourself a favor and stop by Tricycle. Rain, shine, or snow, this place is 100% worth the trip. Ice cream cravings don't care about the weather, and neither do I! read more

The ice cream sandwiches were great! They are $5 each and are individually wrapped in an artsy packaging. The red velvet with cheese cake filling was delicious. The Oreo Salted Caramel was just as good too. Couldn't decide! The ice pops are $4 and the mango one was good. The workers offer a tablet to see what the sandwiches look like if you want to see a display. I love the logo of the bear on a tricycle and the esthetic of the store. Two small table for groups of three to sit at. The inside is pretty small. Smells lovely in there and the art of the menu is beautiful. On a corner where there's plenty of street parking. Can't wait to try a new flavor when I come back! read more

This place was made for me. I wanted to try so many things which was made obvious by the fact that I got enough for 5 people. My husband and I shared: - Fruity Pebble Taco - Passion Fruit Drumstick - Bananas Foster Blondie Sandwich Everything was fantastic. The passion fruit drumstick was my favorite followed by the bananas foster blondie sandwich. You really can't go wrong though. It seems like it's not really made to be eaten there because they warn you to wait a bit to let it soften before eating it. read more

I am literally OBSESSED with this ice cream shop... and I have to admit, I'm not really an ice cream kind of girl but Tricycle is unique & special. The flavor combos are truly culinary creations. My go-to order is the passionfruit mimosa sorbet push pop. It is slightly sour but yet refreshing - ultimately crave-worthy & palate-cleansing. It was time to try an ice cream taco. Hubby selected the creamy peanut butter & chocolate chip ice cream in a chocolate waffle shell, dipped in Callebaut chocolate & topped with Oreo pieces. It is HUGE & decadent. We ended up cutting it in half to save some for tomorrow. So much chocolate. OMG! Last but not least, I wanted to try something else & the owner recommended the Thai tea ice cream + toasted coconut cookies sandwich. Much more subtle than the chocolate taco but the ice cream was really the star of this selection. In addition, another thing that Tricycle does well is the packaging. You are meant to purchase more than you can eat & take it will you for consumption later. If you are ever in the neighborhood (ahem Atwells), take out your phone & preorder Tricycle for your dessert pickup. Or go in & check out what's new. Every week, there are new concoctions.

As soon as you walk in, the aroma of the waffles and cookies warms you up. We had the pleasure of trying the Thai tea and Ube with toasted coconut flakes ice cream sandwiches. The ice cream was wonderfully flavorful and not too sweet. The cookies were a bit harder than to my liking, but did allow the ice cream to shine through. Staff was friendly and informed us the sandwiches were frozen, so to wait a bit before enjoying. Would recommend you giving it a shot in case you're in for a sweet treat! read more

Service 5/5 Ice cream 3.5/5 Price 4/5 Ambiance/Interior 2/5 Tricycle was Ok - the carrot flavored cheesecake ice cream did not taste of carrot. The texture was good although for $5 a bar it was not particularly anything special. The brazilian passion fruit was better. The service was great although seating is very limited seats are very high and it's really not made for dine-in guest. read more

Fast, casual, eccentric, ready-to-go sweet treats that you'll want to eat before your feet hit the street. My wife and I shared their Bananas Foster Ice Cream Sandwich, Fruity Pebble Taco, and Passion Fruit Drumstick which was waaaaay too much for two people. About twice as much as either of us wanted and expected. If we were staying nearby and had a freezer then it wouldn't have been a problem but we were stopping by on our way to our hotel in Newport. That being said, still happy we tried all three. They were all good and no one in particular stood out amongst the rest. read more
We had the Oreo sandwich and fruity pebble sandwich, both were delicious! The employees were friendly and knowledgeable about the ice cream. The shop is filled with plants and there are a few tables that customers can sit at. read more

Looks amazing! Are there any vegan options? Planning a day trip soon to Providence. :-)
They have both vegan and gluten-free options.
Are they open all months of the year?
yes they just have different hours for different seasons. they update their website and social media.
Are there any options that are vegan-friendly?
their sorbet push pops are and they are amazing. i can't believe it is made by them but you can tell and it's nostalgic childhood memories of an ice cream truck.
