The Ice Cream Machine

This place is busy until evening but worth the wait in line. The home made ice cream is rich and creamy and full of flavor. No skimping on the portions either.
Across from Diamond Hill Park, and has adequate parking overflow in the park.
Peanut Butter, my all-​time favorite was like heaven on a spoon.

awesome selection and quality, but a bit pricey. They don’t sell half gallons either.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice Cream, unless you lactose intolerant, than that’s too bad for you.
Awesome place other than it’s cash only. They do have an ATM with a hefty fee onsite that they get a kick back from. That’s why you only get 4 stars guys…
Other than that, huge portion for what you pay for and they are open year round. Never a bad experience besides the tummy ache the next day for over indulgent. ;-)

Excellent taste, lovely setting. perfect for after game or after walk outing. This place is so good that I can visit it every week, if only I didn’t care about fat. But wait, they have fat free and low fat options too!

Ice cream machine, or ICM is one of the hidden gems tucked away in the corner of Cumberland, Rhode Island. With hefty scoops and tons of options, the flavor has never disappointed. My favorite is mint chocolate chip — classic yet perfected.

The sea salt caramel frozen yogurt may have changed my life for the better, but I will definitely be getting a kiddie next time!

This place is amazing!!! Been going here since I was a wee tot, and it’s by far the best service and best home-​made ice cream I’ve ever had… All should try it!

One of the best Ice Creams I’ve ever had. So many flavor choices to choose from. The coffee oreo is definitely a favorite in our house!

One of the best ice creams I ever had. Homemade and so creamy. I ordered the Amaretto and Almond flavor and my brother got Oreo Coffee. Both one scoops in wafer cones. (They also have sugar cones, waffle bowls, etc.) Wow they serve big portions. We had to ask separate bowls and spoons. Tables and benches all around. They take CASH ONLY. But they do have ATM machine inside.

I’ve been coming here for years now and I was in love with there ice cream. But My most recent trip here was very disappointing for a regular. Okay I got the purple cow which has been my favorite but now they load it with white chocolate morsels, why!?! First thing why would you put whole morsels in you can barley chew them and why would you change a classic without informing people that it’s different. I had to spit out nearly a hundred morsels! Was not satisfying at all. And you got rid of the best section the seasonal, flavored caramel apple and key lime!!! Why get rid of those my girlfriend who is pregnant was craving the key lime which was unbelievably good, and they don’t carry it anymore. What happened to the ice cream machine?!

Stopped after dinner for four small cones. Plentiful parking, not busy, but no public bathrooms? Cones were excellent — dont recall accurately the names — fudge oreo; caramel sea salt; chocolate coconut and raspberry sorbet. Good size serving for the price. Plenty of picnic benches and the tables looked clean, not covered in sitcky drippings or wadded up napkins.
Definitely best ice cream in area. We have tended to go to Spruce Pond in Wrentham, but service is much much better here.

Went here today. The ice cream is good. The prices aren’t bad. We got 2 hot fudge sundaes & a cup of frozen yogurt for 10 bucks. The one thing i don’t like and the reason i gave 4 instead of 5 stars is the parking. It’s crazy there.

They have a great variety of flavors to choose from including specials for the season, and the portions are fairly generous. Picnic tables provide seating, or you can walk across the street to the park. Be prepared, there are no public restrooms and they accept cash or check only (but there is an ATM). The lines can get really long, but move pretty quickly. No matter what time of year, this place always attracts a crowd.

First off let me say wish I could give it a half star Now on to the review.
I have been coming here since I was a kid and the place is good but not great. I feel they are over price and every year they seem to keep going up. The only reason I come back so much is the kids like to go to the park and it’s nearby.
They only take cash which most ice cream places only do so That’s No surprise. It’s kinda messy at times and the tables can get filthy and sticky from the trees above.
Wouldn’t kill them to wipe them down every now and then or pick up the trash lazy people leave behind.
Parking can be hectic if there busy and I would suggest parking across the street to make it easier.
The ice cream is just OK for homemade and have had better at other places not far away from here.
There are No bathrooms as Well so if u need to wash hands make sure u have something to use.
Overall it’s an OK place but nothing to rush back to.

Summer: open till 10pm
I really enjoyed the black raspberry chip yogurt. It was just as good as the one I get at my fave ice cream shop in N. Kingstown. My hubby had a small ½ coconut and ½ pistachio on a waffle cone. He said it was delicious. (Thank you, Unilocalers, for pointing out how big a «small» serving is.)
This place is out of the way for us, but worth the trip.

I love ice cream, and I love Ice Cream Machine.
Been many years since I’ve been here because I moved out of state in 1997. While visiting with my sister today she mentioned getting some ice cream, and next thing I know I was headed down Diamond Hill Road!
For a Thursday night this place was packed. They have a huge board with all their favors on it. Was so nice to see flavor since could never get in California or Florida like Coffee, Maple Walnut & Frozen Pudding. I went for a cone of Maple Walnut, my favorite!!. My sister warned me beforehand to get a small, because their small was huge, and she was right. The ice cream was flavorful, creamy and generous!
Definitely recommend. Great little place to make family memories.

I was surprised as to how long we actually had to wait to be served since there weren’t that many people ahead of us. However, it was worth the wait. Cookie dough ice cream really hit the spot.

I’ve been known to take a drive up to Cumberland to get a tasty ice cream.
This place is packed, but the staff know it, and I only waited in line for ten minutes or so, and have signs to show that they truly are CASH ONLY.
Their ice cream is OK for home made, I have had better, but the kiddie portion was filling. The prices are average compared to other home made ice cream places.
I do wish that the signs with the flavors were easier to see in line… maybe they should have one overhead like they do their menu?

This place has good ice cream, but has terrible cleanliness practices. Yes they hand make all the ice cream, however if your allergic to cats or just hate them than stay away. I went inside in the winter and these people, it is a family run business, have there cats walking all over the back area where they make the ice cream. It’s gross they walk on counters where the ice cream is being prepped. Cats walk through their own feces in their litter box and to allow them to walk in this area is nasty. Not to mention they shed and have dander, who wants that in their ice cream? Not me. I would not go here again after I saw that. Yuck!!!

I am almost afraid to tell people how awesome this place is because I don’t want to stand in line any longer than I have to! Husband and I love to try local, homemade ice cream shops. This one is the perfect blend of good old fashioned awesome flavors combined with a distinctive local feel. You will have to come back to try all their flavors. And yes, they are GENEROUS. The small is almost two full cups of ice cream. Husband and I have been here twice and tried only 4 of the 20+ flavors they are offering. On second thought the wait is good because we can be indecisive.
Practical points: CASH ONLY. The parking lot is small but adequate. There are plenty of picnic tables to chill right there and the park across the street is inviting. Just don’t hog all the coffee heath ice cream if you go, it’s my new favorite flavor.
