First time here and won’t be the last. My wife and I were greeted at the door by the ladies behind the counter. They are fast and efficient. We split a large sundae and we enjoyed every bite.

This is crack, i can’t get enough. Always getting that large gelati (sounds like a Gucci mane song) and you have to get the peach gelato when they have it. OMG

Service was very friendly and fast! The place is decorated cute and seems clean and organized. The custard is really yummy and they even give you a sample to try if it's your first time. The ice was a little underwhelming in flavor but still good.

Mango ice with custard is unbelievable. Just incredible the freshness and the creaminess don't miss out! Thank goodness there's a Rita's in Michigan

Delicious! Every time we’re in town, my family and I have to stop here! They make different flavors every day (which they’re happy to let you try) and everyone who works there is SO NICE! We love Rita’s! Get the five layer and add Carmel! ?

Smallest portions ever. Their waffle bowls are the joy brand you can buy at the store. Very disappointing.

Nice little gelato placeMy friend and I were itching to try some gelato and ended up here.The icecream was pretty average but was super expensive for anything more than the soft serve.The employees were very nice though! They offered samples and were open to any questions we needed to ask!There's not much room for sitting inside nor outside, so my friend and I got it to go.If you're looking for regular icecream, I would recommend somewhere else, but I think it's a decent place for gelato!

We have peanut tree nut and sesame allergies in our family and we have come here Many times in the last 3 years and it is still the best ice cream custard and Italian ice store on the planet!!!!

I've been dying to try any Rita's location and happy I finally got to go to one! Italian Ice + Custard just sounds like the dream and it was so tasty. I was super overwhelmed when I started looking at the menu because everything sounded so good. My mom and I saw a caramel macchiato custard milkshake on their Facebook page which is what prompted us to come in the first place. My mom ended up getting that and it was so good. Their large size is pretty big so she wasn't able to finish it in one sitting but it holds well in the fridge or freezer at home. They allow you to sample any Italian ice flavors. I ended up ordering the Gelati which is Italian ice and custard. I got the Strawberry Cheesecake Cream Ice + Chocolate Vanilla twist custard which they layer throughout the cup and it was delicious. Is tasted like a Neapolitan ice cream. They had interesting Italian ice flavors like green apple and blue raspberry. I hope to try more from Rita's in the future!
