Good ice cream with homemade ingredients which is hard to find in most ice cream places. Ice cream was nice and creamy and the atmosphere is definitely unique for an ice cream shop, which gets points in my book. The only thing that gives this less than 5 stars is that a few flavors dont really taste like what theyre supposed to taste like. I had the salted caramel and my mother got a mint one that didnt taste much like mint. That being said, both were still delicious, just unexpected. My wife got the honey one which was on point, so Im sure what I mentioned isnt the case with most of their flavors. I would def go back

Theres never been a truer observation than you can taste the love in someones cooking.This isnt your run of the mill New England ice cream place. This is place that puts every other place to shame.We have been coming here since she opened, and every year we wait like children waiting for Christmas for her to open. Because even though we stock up for winter, we never seem to buy enough.Im pretty sure Ive tried almost every flavor except for the occasional weekly special I pass on. My recommendation, try your favorites but also try the amazing creations she comes up with. Everything is made in house, its all amazing. My current addiction is the chocolate cereal bowl.

2 words honey bee. This is by far the best ice cream Ive ever had. Homemade vanilla ice cream with handmade candied honeycomb. Also ask for a ranger cookie you wont be disappointed.

The Keep is absolutely wonderful!! from chilled dishes to keep your ice cream cold on a hot day, to fabulous takeout!!! seriously some epically yummy ice cream!!!! Honey Bee is by far my fave, Dire Wolf for my peanut butter loving daughter, and Hubby, he has yet to pick a fave...he likes so many of them....Such a great crew and what a great place to meet up with friends!

Great neighborhood ice cream shop that has truly homemade ice cream. They have a rotating menu and always have unique flavors from honey bee (maybe their best known) to cereal bowl to chai to baklava. A true gem!

The best ice cream in R.I!I love this place because of its authentic decor and amazing ice cream flavors! Flavors you cannot get anywhere else. Plus! They have a good amount of non dairy options. My favorite is the Oat Milk Oreo and I get peanut butter cups on top😁. Try it out, youll definitely be back!

Finally made the trip here, someone I follow on Instagram had come here, and my love of ice cream i needed to make the trip here. Always awesome to find new spots in the cumberland area. I wish I knew of this place sooner. They will be closed in a few weeks for the end of the season. I ended up getting carmel crunch and pb cup. Make your trip here before they close for the season. Only open fri, sat, sun

Ice cream here is delicious! Staff is super friendly, flavors are named after trendy, up-to-date things. My ONLY criticism would be to have more rotating dairy free options!

Absolutely outstanding ice cream & service. Happy people serving delicious ice cream in an incredibly comfortable atmosphere and environment. The only possible knock on The Keep is the parking lot, which is commonly full. Though that is a clear sign of several successful businesses.

Review №63

Homemade ice cream?! Whats not to love. I have learned my lesson, always order the smallest portion when it comes to ice cream. I ordered a kiddie sized portion of blueberry cheesecake and it was AMAZING, perfectly hit the spot. Tons of amazing options, vegan, soft serve, by the cone or pint. Its so adorably decorated as well. Im a sucker for midevil themed places.

Went there with my family yesterday for the first time and this is our new favorite ice cream place! I saw them making the ice cream behind the counter and they had a great selection of flavors. I tried the Banana Nutella Vanilla Wafer ice cream and fell in love; it actually tasted like real bananas (and the woman who makes the ice cream confirmed that it was made with real bananas)! The others in my party got different Oreo flavored ice cream and kept raving on the ride home about how great it was and how there were huge chunks of fresh Oreos. They also hand pack whichever flavor you want to bring home, so we brought home 2 pints of ice cream. Prices are on par with other local ice cream places that serve ice cream that’s been delivered from another location or just is Richardsons ice cream - this place is totally worth the $ for fresh, homemade ice cream. We will definitely be coming back!
