I love frozen custard and this is the first place I have found in California that serves it. Turned out to be just as good as the custard my grandparents would take me to get every time I went to Tennessee. Our service was great too and they are following coronavirus protocols too!I will go back!

Delicious. I was skeptical at first... but it's very good!!! My kids love coming here and prefer it over any other icecream place. ?????

Rita's is the bomb! Really enjoy their mango shave ice and cheesecake custard which was great. Well worth a small detour and stop if you are on the 101.

Good little place to treat the kids or yourself to a sweet treat.

Excellent spot to spend time alone or talk business. There was fast, efficient, and courteous service. The place has an awesome feel to it. Menu is like a cafe in Indianapolis I liked.

A preferred evening place. Next time I'll be back with my relatives. The bill won't shock you. Feels similar to a restaurant in New York I liked.

Try the Gelati!.. ½ Italian ice and ½ custard. One of my favorite combos is the Horchata Italian ice and Carmel custard.

It was my first time and the man in the front was kind enough to explain everything on the menu and how the products were made! Great customer service! Will definitely come back again!

This is a great place to stop for a break when traveling from the central coast to the Bay area. My husband and I always make a pit stop here when we road trip up north. He was born and raised in Philly so Rita's is super nostalgic to his childhood.

Omar is amazing!!!! Please make more Mint Chip. That flavor is so good. Best flavor hands down. We love you Omar!

I wish I had discovered Rita's years ago! Our household doesn't buy regular ice cream anymore; we just buy a couple pints of the frozen custard and some quarts of the icee/slushy items. Our go-to custards are vanilla, mint, and mango. For the slushies, can't go wrong with a blue raspberry. This last visit I tried the watermelon slushies and was delightfully surprised to find chunks of actual watermelon in it.

Realy great custard ice cream! It was our first time there and everything was great about it! The dude working there was really chill and gave us excellent recommendations. This place is definitely worth a try!
