Rick's Ice Cream & Pints of Joy

An eclectic place with old school ice cream This is not gelato or the modern home style ice cream, this is straight in your face industrial stuff with how ice cream was in the 70s and 80s with synthetic flavors The store is well laid out , the dining area was closed when we arrived at 630 pm They have around 40-48 flavors depending on the season and they had about 6-8 flavors of chocolate alone Which is a big deal I would say they have a good concept in an amazing location , they should explore replacing some offerings with more homestyke recipes , like maybe offering gelato or natural flavors I had the saffron pistachio ice cream , could taste the synthetic flavor for hours Reminded me of how my dad used to make ice cream with bottles of flavors

Wow! Ordered a custom ice cream cake for my son’s birthday and it was amazing! Exactly what we wanted and my boy was thrilled over it. He wanted Donald Duck’s face on the top. Idk who ended up being in charge of that part but whoever it was is talented. Not only did it look fantastic, the cake and ice cream were delicious (vanilla cake with strawberry ice cream) yum! Thank you so much in helping make my son’s birthday the best it could be🙏

Fantastic ice cream with an old-school, authentic taste, elevated by classic flavors like pistachio and saffron. In our opinion, it’s still the best ice cream in Northern California—even though it has slightly changed direction since the ownership change. Friendly local staff are always smiling and welcoming, which keeps us coming back.

Plenty of flavors, including vegan options - sorbets are delicious, but the vegan coffee ice cream is the best. Nice interior, restroom for customers.

I’d say 3.5 stars. Pricey, with not the best flavors. Ice cream is served lukewarm, and does not have great texture. Nice atmosphere, with ok employees. It’s mostly the price and how the flavor is not great that makes me give it this review. Nostalgic but not worth your money.
