“Great local place for yummy ice cream. No wonder it is highly rated. It has variety and taste. This is certainly our kids go to place. Friendly service but they do not offer samples.

However, the place does become crowded as it was last night. The line was huge and the parking is very limited.“

“We mostly go for their non dairy flavors, which have been excellent. Always service with a smile. Very warm staff. Happily accept very generous Clipp certificates. Seating area is kind of utilitarian, but we don't go there to eat chairs. Their ice cream cannot be beat. They're right next to the open square facing Home Depot entrance in the Promenade. I have to get back there for more Coconut and Pina Colada.“

“Rita’s Custard and Ice is a consistent go-to for a cool treat during those hot Carolina summers. It’s your classic franchise-style setup, but this location has a little extra charm thanks to some genuinely friendly and well-trained staff. Every time we stop by, the place is buzzing—and for good reason. It’s clearly a local favorite.

While the menu has lots of fun and colorful options, I personally gravitate toward their Ice Blenders and frozen lemonades. They’re refreshingly all-natural and don’t have the added dyes you’ll find in some of their other menu items, which is a big win in my book.

Is it the best frozen dessert I’ve ever had? Maybe not—but it’s reliably good, quick, and hits the spot every time. For a sweet, icy treat with friendly service, Rita’s delivers exactly what you need. Definitely worth the stop if you’re nearby and looking to cool off!“

“My husband and daughter just returned from getting ice cream, and I wanted to take a moment to highlight the exceptional service they received. The gentleman working around 9:00 PM on 6/23/25 did a phenomenal job!

My husband was genuinely impressed by how calm, patient, and attentive he was with each customer. Despite what seemed like a busy evening, he made sure to acknowledge every person and never made anyone feel rushed. It’s rare to see that level of care and professionalism—great job! I can say the same for every person that was working when i came!

Customer service like this truly makes a difference. Keep up the awesome work!“

“This place is an absolute gem! Whether you’re stopping in for a quick treat or planning a casual meeting like we did, this place delivers every time. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, perfect for conversation, work, or simply relaxing with something sweet. Their selection of gelato is incredible — rich, creamy, and full of flavor (the Nutella Crunch and Coffee were standouts!). And their specialty drinks? A total surprise — unique, high-quality, and perfectly crafted. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the entire space had a great local charm that made it feel like more than just a dessert shop. It’s a must-visit for anyone in Charlotte looking to satisfy their sweet tooth or enjoy a laid-back, delightful outing. Highly recommend!“

“Recording success in Cryptocurrency.. Bitcoin is not just buying and holding till when bitcoin sky-rocks this has been longed abolished by intelligent traders mostly now that bitcoin bull is still controlling the market after successfully defended the $20,000 support level once again and this is likely to trigger a possible move towards $40,000 resistance area However it is best advice you find a working strategy by hub/daily signals that works well in other to accumulate and grow a very strong portfolio ahead. I have been trading with Mr Mark Toray’s daily signals and strategy on his platform and his guidance makes trading less stressful and more profitable despite the recent fluctuations I was able to easily increase my portfolio in just 3weeks of trading with his daily signals growing my 0.9 BTC to 2.9BTC. Mr Toray’s daily signals are very accurate and yields a great positive return on investment. I really enjoy trading with him and I’m still trading with him He is available to give assistance to anyone who love crypto trading and beginners in bitcoin investment I would suggest you contact him through mail [email protected] or telegram @mark4toray bitcoin is taking over the world“
