One Yelp reviewer said, When in Warwick, this is the place to go! My coworker recommended me to go to this place whenever I go to Warwick, he told me it was a huge must. Now I know why it was a 'huge must.' The most delicious ice cream with the greatest view ever. They have a few tables and benches to hangout outside and just take in the scenery. One thing I must say, is there is a super long line. But hey! If there is a huge line... then you know it's good! Bookmark this place and go!"
