“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.“

“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.“

“We are visiting from Indiana and decided to stop by for a sweet treat. Service was excellent, we got a small Belgian cookie which was DELICIOUS, a small mango which was also very good and a medium Oreo. My family and I enjoyed all three flavors and left very happy!
We really liked that they are open past 10pm. It really helped us out and it was such an inviting and cute atmosphere. Everything looked clean and definitely recommend this establishment!“

“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!“

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).

“I grew up in Delaware and there hasn’t been a place like this until Boro Cafe came. It’s my favorite cafe now when I visit home. The vibe is a mix of French, urban, and antique. It’s clean, quiet, and spacious. Pastries and gelato are the way to go. Coffee is pretty good, but not as good as Brew Ha Ha. The food on the menu is so-so. Perfect spot though to meet up with a friend, have an interview, or just enjoy some quiet time with a book.“
