Gray's Ice Cream

For generations of Rhode Islanders, a day at the beach isn't complete without a trip across the bridge to this drive-up stand an general store in picturesque Tiverton Four Corners. Since the 1930s, Gray's has sourced its milk fresh from local farmers, and churned it into the thick and creamy essence of summer that is the envy of frozen-dessert makers across New England. It now boasts more than 30 handmade flavors, including the ever-popular coffee and more-adventurous options like ginger. Also check out Gray's second outpost on the Bristol waterfront.
