Description

For nearly half a century, family-run Mr. Lemon on Hawkins Street in Providence’s North End has been a beloved summer institution, serving abundant, vividly flavored frozen lemonades in multiple sizes at fair prices. Friendly, nostalgic service keeps generations returning for Cherry, Watermelon and more. Occasional over-sweetness and rare cross-flavor scooping are minor drawbacks, and the stand is seasonal—closed in fall and winter—but its cheerful, family-oriented charm remains a quintessential local treat.

A beloved fixture in Providence, Mr. Lemon is a charming frozen lemonade stand located in the Wanskuck neighborhood. The establishment is cash-only and offers a limited menu. It operates solely during the summer months, with restricted hours, but the vibrant flavors make it a strong contender for the best frozen lemonade in the state, rivaling Del's. While it doesn’t include the small chunks of lemon rind found in Del's, making Del's my personal favorite, Mr. Lemon is an extremely close second. The couple who owns Mr. Lemon has been dedicated to the stand for many years, earning praise from families throughout the area and beyond. It's definitely worth visiting to determine for yourself which frozen lemonade holds the crown.

The family at Mr. Lemon are by far some of the most wonderful people you will ever meet. They always have a smile and a Hey, how have you been?? . They treat you like part of their own family.

Best frozen lemonade place around! Always get the tutti frutti since I was a small kid growing up in Elmhurst! Now that I’ve moved to mass I try and stop by a few times a summer while I’m visiting family in RI!
