Newport Creamery

At Newport Creamery, we believe food should be as fun as the dining experience. We offer a comfortable, family-friendly atmosphere and tasty traditions - like our Big Beef Burgers, our very own locally made ice cream, and the classic Awful Awful. Generations have come to love our Good Mood Food, exceptional value and attentive customer service. We are the place where families, friends and memories meet. Newport Creamery is where we make the tasty traditions and you make the memories.The Newport Creamery has a rich history. The company's roots date back to 1928 when Samuel Rector, who was already in the milk business, took over a dairy on Van Zandt Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island and became a wholesale milk distributor. Four years later, in 1932, Mason Rector (Samuel's son) joined the business. In this year, the Company also entered the retail business when it began to deliver milk house-to-house on Acquidneck Island. The business grew and prospered as the Company focused on providing quality service to its customers.In 1940, the Rectors opened what was described as a "Milk Bar", serving ice cream. The location of this "Milk Bar" is the exact location of the Company's flagship restaurant and plant - 208 West Main Road in Middletown, Rhode Island. With the opening of this first store, the Newport Creamery's ice cream business was now beginning.
