We've compiled a list of our favorite ice cream spots throughout Lil Rhody (and nearby MA) to help you cool off when outside is too hot hot hot! The Daily Scoop in Barrington has been open since June 2000 and prides themselves on making "good homemade super premium ice cream."

While it's not technically located in Rhode Island, the Ice Cream Barn in Swansea, MA is pretty darn close - just a few miles from Warren. All the delicious ice cream is made right on  Baker Farm using the resident cows.
