Top 11 Gluten-Free Ice Cream Shops to Delight in Rhode Island

We were in the area and looking for somewhere tasty to go for lunch, and after seeing the reviews, we decided we wanted to come to blackies! Even though we were a walk in, they were able to accommodate us and accommodate us, they did. Most of the menu can be made GF, and there are pages, upon pages to this menu. Not only did I enjoy my meal (I got the French Onion Cheesesteak with Fries and it was SUPERB 🤌🏽), but my gluten eating family also had a meal. My Dad even said it was the BEST Ruben he's ever had (and he loves a ruben). Since it was our first time there, our wonderful server was able to field all of my GF/Celiac-related questions with ease. The restaurant is owned by two lovely women: one of whom has Celiac. They have dedicated fryers, AND they have separate kitchen tools (knives, utensils, cutting boards, aprons, etc.) for the preparation of GF meals. On top of all that, my food was brought out FIRST and SEPARATELY. Our server even brought out a new bottle of ketchup with my food so that there wasn't any CC. I felt so well taken care of by the staff, and so safe while we were there, it was a new level of Celiac-care in this dining experience. I cannot more highly recommend blackies if you're ever in RI/Providence!!!

Wow! The staff at this bakery is incredibly friendly and polite. The store itself is spotless and well-maintained. I tried the Cupcake of the Day, which was a Pineapple Dolewhip flavor, and it was absolutely delicious. It tasted like summer in a cupcake! They have a wide variety of flavors to choose from, including gluten-free options. I will definitely be returning to try more of their cupcakes.

My wife has to eat gluten free, so as I sometimes have a few bites of her food to polish it off, I get to taste a lot of GF vs normal crusts. This is, to date, the closest I have ever tasted to the two being the same out of a pizzeria. Not to mention the incredible taste without feeling like a ton of bricks after. If you’re on Block Island and like pizza, give this a shot.

This place is the best! I am definitely going back! They have non-dairy gluten free ice cream! Peanut butter cup is the bomb! 😊

They generally have about 5 to 6 different dairy-free choices which are always fresh and delicious! None of the cones are dairy free only some are gluten free. Service is quick and efficient even if there is a line. Great customer service. Only concern is parking and that Ten Rod Road people drive fast and crazy so it can be challenging

On a sweltering 95°F+ day, a sorbet push pop is an excellent treat. I was able to try 3 flavors on my visit: calamansi, mango con tajin, and passionfruit mimosa. We all thought the passionfruit mimosa was the best! The alcohol probably contributed to a softer texture, which was quite pleasant, and the flavor was excellent. The mango con tajin was exactly as expected, refreshing with a slight hit of salt and spice. The calamansi flavor, which is listed as tart Filipino lime, was much sweeter than expected. I wanted a more punchy flavor but sadly ended up not finishing the pop because it got to be cloying. Be warned, especially on a ridiculously hot day, there will be melting! The staff provide you with small bags and I didn't realize that I should have used the bag to protect my hands from all the stickiness until it was too late. As someone with a gluten allergy, it was great to have creative flavor options of sorbet and there are also at least 1 or 2 ice cream sandwiches that are gluten free as well.

Great place for sweets and amazing ice cream. Even better with their Gluten Free cones and a list of their Ice Creams with allergens noted.

We had some ice cream here after dinner last night. They had lots of flavors. Bonus for me was the vegan options besides just sherbert, plus a gluten-free waffle cone. I was delighted about that.

Delicious ice cream! They tightly pack the cups and cones. They have a gluten free ice cream. Highly recommend. Cash only.
