Ice cream & desserts in Providence

Ice cream and dessert shops help you get a sweet treat for an everyday craving or a special occasion. Many offer more than scoops, such as custom ice cream cakes for birthdays, soft serve, frozen treats, bubble waffles, and catering for parties. Gift cards are often available too. Before you go, call ahead to ask whether the shop takes orders for custom cakes or large catering jobs, and how far in advance they need them. For a celebration, book the cake or catering a week or more ahead, and confirm the flavors and pickup time by phone. If you plan to bring a gift card, check whether it can be used for cakes and catering as well as scoops.
