“Very delicious ice cream! Great location, Awesome unique flavors served every way you can imagine. staff are super friendly and helpful. we'll definitely be back to try more flavors .10/10 recommend. thank you!“

“This place is absolutely great. We arrived just 10 mins before closing, but the staff was helping us choose and place an order for eggfree and sugarless ice creams. (We were ordering for a baby, and we are vegetarians). The staff mentioned that their ice cream has no added sugar. Also, the egg free list had many options, too. We ordered the flavors :
1. Tender coconut,
2. peanut butter and jelly,
3. chocolate almond,
4. raspberry and chip

All the ice creams were absolutely delicious. Finally, I found some sugar-free ice cream that my baby could indulge in along with us.“

“Wow! What a great place! Could not have asked for a better or more satisfying experience. Stopped by driving from NYC to MD on a Sunday and we hit the jackpot. No line. No wait. Got to taste before we selected from a bajillion different tasty flavors & options (soft serve, gelato, concretes, icees...etc). The staff was super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. A new must stop wherever we are in the area!!!

“Great food and desserts! Strawberry shortcake is amazing!“

“Hangrybear in Kennett is more than just a place to grab a bite—it’s an experience that keeps surprising and delighting us every time. From the moment we walk in, we’re greeted with warm, friendly service that makes us feel like family. Their menu is thoughtfully crafted with a mouth-watering variety of high-quality, inventive options that satisfy everyone from picky kids to food-loving adults.

My wife and I always split one of their seasonal sandwiches and a fresh, vibrant salad that bursts with flavor, texture, and the best ingredients around. Tonight, we enjoyed the crunch salad—our go-to favorite—and savored every bite of the turkey Rachel Sammy special, a perfect combination of savory, tangy, and fresh. Our girls happily split the crispy chicken fingers and gooey grilled cheese, which are always a hit.

To top it off, dessert is an absolute must here! We indulged in pumpkin and Biscoff cheesecake ice cream, each bite a little piece of heaven. It’s rare to find a place that nails both food and sweets so perfectly, but Hangrybear does it with style.

They’ve quickly become a staple in our lives, not just for the food but for the memories they help us create. From Bluey breakfasts to other family-friendly events, Hangrybear has become a tradition we look forward to, a beloved spot in the community where we feel at home.“

Parking: On street parking, no trouble finding a spot for 2 vehicles

“Delightful premises and delicious ice cream. OMG, the Vanilla Salted Caramel was to die for. The waffle cone was so crunchy and flavorful. Loved the setting with benches and tables scattered under a giant beautiful tree and cows on the hillside. Some crazy flavor options too... such as, Pumpkin Mushroom and Motor Oil! Wish I could have tried them all.“

“Nice students help me select organic produce“

“pup cups for your 4 legged friends“

“Meg is amazing as always ! She welcomes in my two kids with a smile and a giggle ! Don’t miss out on the outstanding service!!“

“A unique ice cream shop. There's a huge array of flavors you won't find elsewhere. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. If you're in the mood for a cool treat and want something different than the same old thing this is the place. Worth a visit!“

“The best ice cream sundae I’ve had in Jersey!!“

“I love the fact that they have delicious vegan options! They are also very friendly here. My daughter loves it as well.“

“Ironically, I just read another review that echoed my own frustration at this Rita’s. A few weeks ago, I brought my daughter’s softball team for a postgame treat and was shocked to learn that an option to tip with a credit card doesn’t exist. Glad to know I’m not the only person who thinks this is a bad idea. After receiving such great service, I was embarrassed when I couldn’t leave a tip and had to apologize to the nice girl who gave us such great service. C’mon Rita’s get with the program!“

“In addition to ice cream, they have tea and coffee, which are available iced or hot. This makes them a viable alternative to Starbucks and Brew Ha Ha. I like to go here as a change from Starbucks and because they are open much later than Brew Ha Ha.“

“Kids love it, wonderful Staff, great product.“

“This place is amazing! Our family avoids food dyes and limits HFCS but my kids really wanted water ice. Fuscos to the rescue! My kids LOVED it and we took a pint of apple cider donut ice cream to go.“

“Bruaters is one of my favorite ice cream places. Love the key lime and coconut chip, peanut butter puddles, chocolate peanut butter chip. My kids love cotton candy explosion. Blackjberry and peach are awesome too. Can't go wrong with anything there I think“

“Great series, friendly staff, food was delicious and served quickly“

“I've visited multiple Rita's in the area- this location is the one in which the mobile application has been the most reliable. What's more is that the staff are very efficient at troubleshooting. They did not have a working scanner, for instance, and getting my loyalty info/redeeming a coupon was still no issue. Friendly & courteous staff as well.“

“very good. the crepes were 😋. We had a great lunch. also, the cappuccino was excellent!! very friendly place.“

“service was great ice cream was alsome I only see one way to raise service maybe if the girls were top less, ice cream & boobies boobies & ice cream YEAH“

“I had the best banana split 🤤 the service is always 10 out of 10“

“Everything was so good. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. You can really tell they genuinely care for their customers and love what they do. We will definitely be going back“

“delicious custard and ice flavors!“

“Best dessert place in Delaware! Their ice cream is on the expensive side but their proportions are huge. I recommend what I got in the photo, very sweet, very delicious. Definitely wouldn’t be able to finish one of these myself so be prepared to share!“

“Delicious! Very unique flavors (told they were more traditional Mexican flavors) as well as the usual go-to's. The staff are super friendly, took the time to explain the flavors and give samples!! The ice cream was creamy and refreshing. 10/10, definitely going back. We had Fresa con queso, tequila, mamey and a Mexican raspberry torte mix (sorry couldn't remember the name for the last one). All delicious and the portions were very generous.“

“Always delicious! I thought this during my last visit... I got a double scoop of Grandma Goes Coconuts and felt satisfied when I finished my cup of ice cream. Believe me, that's something to say--usually I want more. Do go and enjoy homemade-like goodness.“

“Great store. They are my go to when I need to place an order.“

“This place is wonderful!! Not only do they have DO many flavors to choose from the employees are great and have beautiful personalities!! I go to them often due to working in the area but even on my day off you’ll see me there !! Great service great food great water ice. 5 stars for me :)!!!“

“On a recent visit to see Fort Delaware State Park, I stopped at the Ice Cream Parlor for a nice afternoon ice cream break and I sure am glad I did. They have a great variety of ice cream and the employee was very courteous. I'm sure glad I went there and would go there again next time I am there.“

“My wife and I finally were able to try out this quaint charmer. We ordered French toast and an omelet plus coffee. Everything about this place was inviting. Live music good food and ambiance has that cafe feel. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu.“

“Always a great visit. Had the coconut 🥥 today. It was good.“

“There's no better ice cream than Cold Stone. I'm addicted to the cake batter flavor and get it with caramel and crushed graham crackers. Sinfully delicious. It's the most flavorful, creamy, smooth, dense ice cream you'll ever eat. This location is great with great service. Love it!“

“I Received excellent service! There was an especially sweet young lady named leigha she has exceptional customer service...she always remembers my order and makes it exactly the way I like it! Keep up the good work! I'll definitely keep coming back to the Bear route 40 location for smiles and treats!“

“The cookies are ALWAYS delicious!!! This particular store is always packed with staff and customers. Although I have yet to be welcomed or greeted when I've come in this store, I can tell they are always busy. I wish the employees at this store would make more of an effort to be friendly, smile, and just be pleasant. If I felt as welcomed as the cookies taste, this could be a 10 star review.“

“Rita’s is the local Water Ice chain (you may call it Italian Ice) that also serves ice cream, custard, milkshakes, and more.

A small is always enough for me, and often too much. Every Rita’s gives free water ice on the first day of spring.“

“black cherry and any custard gelati,,,delicious.“
