Sprinkles Ice Cream Scoops A Spot in Newport

If you've been on any social media in the past few weeks you must've noticed a new hotspot in town: Sprinkles Ice Cream. Sister to the infamous Sprinkles Cupcakes, this ice cream shop takes lines to the next level. Directly from the prim Beverly Hills comes top-of-the-line flavors based on Thomas Jefferson's own personal recipe.
So, is it hype, or is it worth it? After trudging through the line several times myself, I found it rather excellent. A menagerie of flavors and ice cream-cupcake-topping combinations fill the wall as you walk in with a warm welcome (despite the refrigerator-like temperature) and your selection process begins. You really can't go wrong with any combination, perhaps with the exception of caramel which tastes a bit like plain butter. But who knows, maybe it's your flavor! My advice: try and hit up this sweet shop sometime when it's less likely to be crowded. There's only two of these stores in the world and Newport got picked to have one of them
