Rita’s on a Hot Afternoon: The Official MacaroniVAN Pit Stop Review
There are a lot of things in life that test a parent’s patience. Like sunscreen application. Or five car seats in one vehicle. Or trying to reason with a 3-year-old who insists she is a unicorn.
But then there’s Rita’s.
Glorious, icy, flavor-packed Rita’s. The moment the temperature dares to creep above 75, the MacaroniVAN screeches into that parking lot like it’s the winner of the “Hot Mess Express Grand Prix.” And suddenly, peace.
River is living her technicolor dream with Unicorn Sparkle on Unicorn Flavor, like a Lisa Frank folder exploded in a cup. Ridley’s rocking the most chaotic combo imaginable—Nerds on blue raspberry, with a rogue Swedish Fish swirl like he’s building a sundae for a cartoon character.
The tween, of course, has transcended childish things and now requires a Gelati cola float, because it’s giving cool, it’s giving vintage soda shop, it’s giving “don’t talk to me, I’m vibing.”
And me? I’ve got the mango peach sugar-free—a treat that lets me feel like I made a responsible choice without crying sugarless tears into my sunhat. It’s fruity. It’s refreshing. It’s giving “mom deserves this.”
Rita’s is more than just a stop. It’s a survival tactic. It’s a reward. It’s air conditioning in edible form. And on a hot afternoon, when the van smells like feet and someone’s melting down over lost sunglasses, it’s the only kind of meltdown I actually enjoy.
10/10. Highly recommend. Will return approximately… every time the sun shines.
Fast, and has many options
Very friendly!

Delicious 😋
Love Rita’s products. They have more variety of products than they used to a couple years ago. The service at this location was quick and friendly. There are benches to sit on and eat your food. Parking can get tight.

The kids working here need actual supervision. They couldn’t have been more disinterested in serving the line of people. The owners should take a hard look at who they’re employing and how it represents the brand.

Decent flavors, the kids working there are not friendly they'll give you attitude with a bit of side eye. Will go to a small family owned business next time

We stood outside and got the multiple layered mango gelati. The store is placed really conveniently and a good place to go to when it's hot. I hope to go back and try other menu options before the summer ends.
