Dear Hearts Ice Cream — Restaurant in Rhode Island

Has there been a change in Management or policy that doesn't allow toppings in a...

I grew up in this town and regularly went to Dear Hearts. With this information in mind, I can confidently say that the quality has remained consistent for as long as I've been going! The seasonal/weekly flavors are definitely worth a try, although the dark chocolate raspberry truffle was also fantastic. However, the prices were a little much. I came here and spent $20 on three small ice creams, which seems extreme for the amount served. Inflation and supply/demand are definitely factors, but I can make the assumption that Dear Hearts is not affordable on a regular basis. In addition, the manager of this location has shown brusqueness and a lack of discretion in their replies to customer reviews. This quality makes me hesitant to return and buy the (admittedly...
