Every Rhode Islander Loves This
Now when I tell you this is A RHODE ISLAND STAPLE I’m not kidding, I swear everyone ate this as a kid (and we all loved it secretly)
Sweenor's Chocolates
You didn’t grow up in RI/MA (but especially Rhode Island) if you didn’t eat this! It’s not too sweet and it’s so refreshing in the summer. I remember my father and I would go once a week or buy this mix and make it ourselves (aka I’d make it lol)
Dell Lemonade Mix
I can literally smell Narragansett looking at this photo LOL
This was a childhood classic that definitely got huge in my teenage years, big enough that they sold their own mix! Which is good because at that time I didn’t live in Rhode Island so I did...
Iggy's Fritters and Clam Cake Mix
As a kid I went to Lincoln High School, right next to the autocrat factory, we could literally smell the coffee throughout the day at school which makes it SO NOSTALGIC. To the point that when I moved to Korea I was like ugh I'm gonna miss coffee mil...
Autocrat Coffee Syrup, 32 oz
Food/Coffee Joints

Go to Fresh Homemade Donuts in West Warwick off of Tiogue avenue it’s AMAZING! In Olive, Rhode Island it’s by far not only the best Vietnamese coffee I’ve ever had, but it’s also got the best coffee I’ve ever had in general the best donuts I’ve ever had and also definitely in the top five for cinnamon rolls. THE STAFF ALSO OMG THEYRE SO DAMN SWEET!! If you go tell them Sabrina says hi I miss them🥹
It’s called Gelinas!
They have a massive menu which is amazing and the ice cream is SO GOOD
I’ve tried over 50 ice cream shops in Rhode Island, this and Lincoln Creamery are the only two that are actually good in my opinion
Best Ice Cream in Southern RI?
It’s called pasta beach cuz it’s a vacation in your mouth😂 but really the cocktails were amazing. I’m still not over the coconut one that I got and the food is always really good and if you’re looking for gluten-free options, they do have a plethora...
Pasta Beach (Newport & PVD)
If you go to a RI beach, here is kind of a must, and yes youre going to have to wait in an insanely long line sorry LOL (they have a Warwick one too listed here if you just want the flavor)
Iggy's Doughboys & Chowder House
Everyone knows this is where the best milk (and of course the best milk-based pastries) come from. Many Rhode Islanders even have their wedding cake made here its that good :) Shockingly too as they became more popular their quality never wavered. So...
Wright's Dairy Farm and Bakery
This is the best tea house in RI HANDS DOWN!!! Also if you went to Bryant like I did, this is owned by Bryant graduates :P
Ten One Tea House
What to Do in RI
It’s Gather Farm in Johnston! You go and either pick a goat and follow them by leash or let them do their thing while the farm owner gives you a seminar on all things goats and her farm :)
Goat Hike!
