I love this place! We have come here for years when we are in the area and recently ordered 2 ice cream pies for Christmas festivities- they were a hit!! I also love that the have gluten free items as one of my family members has a gluten allergy. They were more than accommodating and provided us with the most delicious gluten free ice cream pies �� I also threw my pregnant friend a “baby sprinkle” here and it was great! Mel and her crew have the best customer service, a fun atmosphere and the best selection of high quality treats. They also host so many community events and fundraisers. Check it out! You won’t be disappointed!
Fantastic service, great ice cream. I always ask for hot fudge on the top and bottom and they never bat a eye or charge me more. Love these guys. If your looking for a Ice cream place to take your family, Mel's Downtown Creamery is the place to go. Always friendly there and well worth the trip.
A delicious, delightful experience! The ice cream is superb (full of whatever - nuts, swirls, etc), the scoops generous (3 size sundaes for every appetite), and the toppings divine (oh, that hot fudge & whipped cream)! And Mel, the owner was just lovely. Planning another fun adventure to go there again soon! Well worth the over-an-hour trip to get there. A real treat in winter, but I can't wait for summer when ice cream doesn't taste better! YUM!

Such a family friendly delicious environment! They have so many flavors to choose from but I usually stick with Graham Central Station or the PB sundae! Best place for a cool treat year round!
Love Mel's!!! Great old-fashioned ice cream shop!!! Mel is really small-town oriented and gives back to the community, can't say enough good things!
Friendly, helpful staff. Proper ice cream decor. Great ice cream. Best of all, generous hot fudge on my classic hot fudge sundae!
This is a cute 50s theme ice cream shoppe that also has shaved ice (although I’ve never had it here). Staff is friendly and they have a good variety of flavors for ice cream and also have the typical soft ice cream too! They make a variety of different ice cream dishes and you can certainly find something you will like! The 4 stars is based on the large variety they offer and they have great sundaes too! The ice cream in my opinion is good but nothing out of the ordinary. It’s not home made. Overall, when we are in the area we will grab ice cream here and it’s open year round!
Lots of options including vegan non dairy and frozen yogurt. Lots of flavors to choose from. Generous amounts. Friendly service. Not overly crowded. Very good pricing. You won't be disappointed that you stopped here for icecream or shaved ice or a float or shake. You can reuse the green shaved ice cup also as a planter.
What a great spot to stop for a quick treat while you walk around westerly. Very clean and very friendly staff. The prices are also very reasonable.
Going to Mel's is one of my favorite things to do when I vacation in the area. The shop is so cute, the staff is super friendly, and the treats are to die for! I really recommend the Chocolate Lover's Dream. Everything is good though. They never miss here.
Thanks for another fun summer memory. Looking forward to next year.
Mel's downtown creamery is such an absolute amazing establishment for ice cream i mean wow!!! Fantastic flavors and the staff there makes it so hospitable and makes you feel right at home as soon as u enter it's so beautiful! Mel herself is such a amazing and passionate person so puts her all into all that she does for the community Mel's is a wonderful Person
So happy to find Hawaiian style shaved ice! You can ask for more than 1 flavor :) I got strawberry & banana then added soft serve vanilla to the bottom. Next time I think I’ll do hard ice cream because it melted by the time I got to the bottom. I also picked up a pint of NSA Coffee Toffee to go.
Service was great & the atmosphere is so cute!
Street parking is easier than trying to park in the back. Bit hard to figure out which stalls are for the businesses vs apartments.
Very accommodating and skilled staff. The selection of frozen treats are amazing. The ice cream tastes very authentic with a variety of toppings and alternatives to choose from.
Fantastic!! The gal behind the counter was very helpful. She gave her opinion on flavors that go well together. Wonderful old-school atmosphere.
My son and I stopped here after his riding lesson one day and OMG...this place is AMAZING!! We recently moved right down the street, and this is definitely a place we will be visiting often! We both got this ‘Death By Chocolate’ brownie/ice cream/hot fudge concoction, and it was phenomenal. We couldn’t finish them, so we took them home and put them in the freezer and were able to have ice cream the next day as well! Their menu is HUGE and the service was very fast and friendly. We absolutely recommend this place!
They ice cream here is to die for. Smooth and creamy with lots of choices. They also have frozen chocolate bananas and shaved ice just to name a few other cold treats. The owner is also super nice which always makes it a nice place to frequent.
Ice cream there is very good, next time I go I'm buying the big kahuna
I have to say that this place is pretty cool. On my top favourite list but hasn't made the top 10 list. I'm definitely into the menu the the ice cream they have. I was hoping when I had my massive cookie shake made with what appeared to be soft ice cream I was a little disappointed. The ice cream sandwich was soft serve also. Ehhhh gonna have to make a trip down to westerly again when it wasn't raining and enjoy my tasty treat outside.
Love this place, the atmosphere has that 1950's vibe and a variety of ice cream flavors to pick from. Definitely, worth stopping if you're in the area.

My family and I enjoyed the ambience. I had the raspberry chip ice cream. It was good.
Best ice cream around. Always good monthly ice cream specials.
Stopped in on a trip to RI and was very pleased with the store and especially the ice cream!!! There was a long line but the staff handled it well and with a smile! I will definitely go back!
Such a cool little old-fashioned ice cream shop with dozens of flavors. Dairy-free and sugar free options. Shakes, sundaes and so much more. Well worth the trip!
