Shaved Ice Restaurants near Reading, PA

“The vibrant colors and icy treats beckoned to me like a siren's call. Holy Gelati, Batman! What an icy adventure I had at Rita's Italian Ice. Nestled outside of Reading, in the heart of Shillington, this Rita's joint is the go-to spot for a frosty treat that hits the spot. The real cherry on top of this frozen fiesta was Allison herself. Not only was she a master at crafting the perfect ice concoction, but her friendly demeanor and infectious smile made the whole experience truly memorable. She even posed for a picture with me, adding an extra dash of superhero flair to my Rita's adventure. Thanks for being chill, Allison. Whether you're a local looking for a sweet escape or a crime fighter patrolling the hustling and bustling Lancaster Ave, Rita's Italian Ice is a must-visit destination. And if you're lucky, you might just get to chill out with the legendary BatmanJawn himself – action figure by day, ice cream aficionado by night. Thanks, Rita's, for a frosty-fantastic time! Be cool, eat a Rita's.“

“I love this place but they need to revamp the outside eating area. Possibly should add more tables or section the area so it is not in the middle of a parking lot by a Goodwill. Good food and service like every other Rita's though. Always appreciate a good mango and vanilla gelati.“

“In regards to the Sinking Spring Rita's... No problem with the food itself. But after waiting 25 minutes in line, I was greeted with super rude customer service. Ordered a watermelon gelati, small, took a breath to keep talking, but the girl already turned away and started making it in the back, before she knew what flavor custard I wanted. She made vanilla and another girl asked if that was all. I asked for a twist for my custard and the original girl said "it's already made" and I said "I didn't finish my order" and my partner said "can you make it again please" after she gave us silence. Then she said "next time say that when you order" and I said "you walked away." Then we paid and resumed our lives. She was ready to walk away before I even told her what size I wanted. At the very least ask what flavor custard I want if you thought I was done ordering, don't just walk away without knowing what the customer wants. Incredibly rude to then imply I have to take the wrong order simply bc you made it wrong. So to the short blonde chick working last night (04/28/24) at this location around 6:30pm, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say maybe you had a bad day or were stressed bc the line was long and you were busy; however, use this as a chance to reflect and learn how to manage your mouth and take accountability for your actions, esp at work, bc you were just unnecessarily rude when you were the one who messed up. Or just take the customers whole order first.“
