★★★★★ 5.0 Mama of Two Boys · Sep 2024

Super friendly workers! My husband dropped his cherry and the cashier was nice enough to give him another one. Very fast service and we enjoyed our treats! There’s enough parking and a bench to sit on. Will visit again!

I came here today. Driven past multiple locations before stopping here today. My husband got a plain vanilla custard which looked like any old quick pull of vanilla soft serve but wow it was delicious. So much creamier than expected and I was reluctant to share as much as got twisted chocolate and vanilla. I did share mine. I have already said that if I have a meeting close to here I will have to come and get more. The lines are there because it is delicious! I would recommend this place.

Amazing Italian ice I've been here twice now, and both times, I got the Oreo cookies & creme ice. And both times, it was so delicious! If you're ever in the area, I recommend here 100% of the time!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Mari · Jun 2024

Great custard and ice! The custard is perfectly creamy and the flavor of the ice is excellent. The mango ice flavor is my favorite, especially with the vanilla custard. The only downside is the lack of searing. There’s no nice place to sit so you pretty much have to eat in your car. If they were able to put in a table or two, that would make this spot so much better

Beginning of the summer season and this Ritas seems to be struggling with supplies. Ritas corporate advertising is promoting the Alex’s LemonadeStand ice, one of my favorites. They don’t have that in stock here. The reality was they hade very few flavors. 1 board was full of flavor listings BUT the one that was accurate had about 8 flavors: cherry, black cherry, some berry flavor, green apple, peach & 2 others. This was a bit disappointing OTOH the servers were polite and quick.
