What people say
Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard, located on Rhawn Street in Philadelphia, has received mixed reviews from various sources. According to a recent article in the Philadelphia Inquirer, the ice cream shop has been a local favorite for years and continues to draw crowds during the summer months. However, a review on Yelp from last month suggests that the quality of the custard has declined in recent years.
A review published in Philadelphia Magazine last year praised Rita's for its unique flavors and affordable prices. The writer noted that the shop offers a wide variety of options, including sugar-free and dairy-free options. However, a more recent review on TripAdvisor from two months ago complained about long lines and slow service.
On Google Reviews, Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard has an overall rating of 4.1 stars out of 5 based on over 500 reviews. Many customers rave about their delicious flavors and generous portions. One reviewer wrote, "The custard is so creamy and flavorful! I love all of their unique flavors like cotton candy and Swedish Fish." Another customer commented, "The staff is always friendly and welcoming. It's definitely worth waiting in line for!"
However, not all reviews are positive. Some customers have complained about the cleanliness of the shop or the quality of their orders. One Yelp reviewer wrote, "The custard was melted by the time we got it home and it tasted like it had been sitting out for hours." Another Google reviewer commented, "The store was dirty and there were flies buzzing around."
Despite some negative reviews, many customers continue to flock to Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard for their sweet treats. As one TripAdvisor reviewer put it: "If you're looking for a refreshing treat on a hot day, this is definitely the place to go!"
