We stopped in to try a seasonal special called “The Apple”, which was apple pie-flavored ice cream with caramel swirl topped with crumbles of apple cider donuts from Jaswell’s Farm. It was excellent! This was probably one of the best fall ice cream specials we’ve had around RI this season.
We noticed that the business has switched to accepting only cash tips for employees (as of October 2025), so if you plan on tipping, be sure to bring a little cash.
The service continues to be efficient and the employees continue to be friendly.

Kow Kow Ice Cream is hands down one of my favorite spots in Rhode Island! Their unique and creative combinations of ice cream, waffles, fresh fruits, and nuts are absolutely delightful. Every bite is a burst of flavor and texture—so satisfying and fun. The presentation is just as amazing as the taste. If you’re looking for a treat that’s both indulgent and refreshing, this place is a must-visit. Totally worth it! ❤️

Always packed place, very good sweet treat and definitely filling. Tried the usual with matcha egg waffle cone and black raspberry ice cream which did not disappoint. They are definitely difficult to eat though so keep that in mind and be careful of making a mess

This was my second time here and Kow Kow doesn’t disappoint. While they may not have dozens of flavors, whatever they do have is sure to hit! I typically go for chocolate based ice cream but this time I tried the Graham Canyon. I love how fresh the strawberries were. Bubble waffle cone is top tier! Ice cream is great quality! Definitely will return when I am in the area.

So worth it if you’re looking for fresh flavors but bored of paying $7 for a cone anywhere else. Kow Kow is a bit pricier ($10 cone) but the bubble waffles are amazing! My favorite is milk + matcha. Some of the toppings tend to fall off easily so catching them can be a bit messy. It’s like if ice cream was a mini game. Great location for the occasional treat.

ice cream attractively served in a fresh waffle. interesting. on top you get toppings that are, ahem, top notch (abundant fresh berries anyone? mochi bits on top of green tea ice cream? both? yes!) for me, the waffle while good is a bit much, quantity-wise. almost hard to eat the whole thing, but definitely worth trying — maybe it’s your thing.
they have vegan (coconut) options for some ice cream flavors, and a gluten free waffle also.

Fun ice cream place in Providence! They have such interesting flavors that were both absolutely delicious!! Thought the mochi and graham cracker dust were a very fun addition to the ice cream too. Though a bit on the slightly more expensive side for dessert, the massive portions and fun variety more than make up for it.

They have gluten free cones! And they are absolutely amazing- great taste and texture! We had the usual with half vanilla and half matcha scoop, and the milk+matcha (with gluten free graham crackers!!). They had plenty of GF options and accesible substitutions, as well as vegan options! Their curated creations are absolutely delicious and a heaping serving. If you’re willing, it’s perfect to share.

Beats Cold Stone Creamery in creaminess and richness of flavor. And… they have a gluten free option for their soft n’ squishy warm waffle. Eating it is an unforgettable experience.
