One of my favorite spots in the area!! The staff is really nice, the treats are very yummy, and it's perfect when the weather is nice!! There's no inside seating though, everything is outdoors. So if it's super hot or raining, eat/drink in your car or at home or something.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Gary Ma · Jul 2022

This is obviously a popular place as there was a line--though it was also 95 degrees-- but not my cup of tea, so to speak. I had the ice cream and the texture was very thick but not in a rich, creamy kind of way but more of an unpleasant cement-y way. It also tasted chemical-y. There was a lot of it even in the small size; half of it ended in the trash can. Maybe the ice is better?

My minion and I jump started our Saturday with some Rita's and it was so tasty! She ordered the Concrete Chocolate Custard with Oreos and Reeses as her toppings, and I ordered the Lg Swedish Fish Italian Ice. Best decision I've made that day!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Matt T · Jul 2025

Rita's has become ubiquitous in the whole soft-serve realm, but I will say this location has a charm that most others don't. Staff is great and lots of outdoor seating.
