“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.“

“Fantastic ice cream spot. They make it all fresh from the milk from the cows in the farm right beside. Loved the fact that they decided to share the produce in such an innovative way. The location is also fantastic. Offering picturesque views of the surrounding landscape, the farm and the creamery. They have nice spots to sit on just outside the creamery. They had a good variety of choices too. The ice cream was very refreshing. Would definitely recommend giving this a try, whether you're an ice cream enthusiast, or someone who just wants to try something new.“

They had Senor Pepper Float (Dr Pepper flavored sorbet mixed with vanilla ice cream) and it tasted EXACTLY like a Dr Pepper float. Best flavor I've ever had in my life. Will be going again/regularly as my ice cream spot after Longwood.“

“This ice cream parlor should really be much better known than it is. There are so many unique flavors. You can get corn ice cream and sprinkle chili powder on it. You can get coconut crunch and sprinkle cinnamon on it. In fact cinnamon tinges many of their prepared ice cream.

The staff were very attentive and friendly. They were extremely patient with my partner and she sampled practically everything in the store. 10-day scooped out some really generous portions for us. The chips and trunks mixed in with ice cream were in January's proportion also. The ice cream is really premium.

My only complaint is that there is no indoor seating. On a hot day you'll be running back to your car for air conditioning to keep your ice cream from melting in your hands. They do have some outdoor bench seating but East State Street is an incline and you'll be sliding down the bench.

Overall the I heartily recommend this ice cream parlor and encourage you to stop in and try some of the unusual flavor selections. It is well worth a slight detour if you are going north or south on US route 1 to make a stop in the historic district shopping district of Kennett square where this.“

“I’d only seen a froyo shop on television so it was a nice experience in person. It was yummy frozen yogurt and exactly what I expected. However, it was a bit pricey since the bowl is sold by weight. I paid 10 for a medium bowl. I think I’ll stick to a regular frozen ice cream cone for $2.50.🤣 it’s the kind of thing you do when you’re on holiday so now I understand why we don’t have one back home.“

The gentleman working let us know there would be a bit of a wait as it was Valentine’s Day and they were crazy busy. We left and went back a bit later and it was so worth the wait. The two guys were both working SO hard but when we were waited on, he was so kind and sweet, you would have never guessed how stressed and busy they were if you didn’t see them running around like crazy. And the cookies are amazing too.“
