26 Best Ice Cream Shops near Sinking Spring

“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.“

“New management took over, it can only go Up from what it was! Welcome to the neighborhood!“

“The honey lavender icecream is the best icecream I’ve ever had! All of the people are very friendly and their ciders are equally delicious! Produce is great quality for a great price, we will definitely be back!“

“So good! I got the Churro cheesecake crepe and it was delicious. They let the kids sample the ice cream to find the flavor they wanted and the staff was friendly. The menu and ice cream flavors are only written in Spanish though... but they do have pictures so you can see what the items are.“

“I've been buying icream cakes here for birthdays for over 30 years and they are always the best. First it was daughters now it's grandkids. These cakes travel to other states because they are in demand! This year a granddaughter asked for a cupcake ice-cream cake. I put the request out there and the wish, though not on the menu, was granted. I couldn't be more pleased. These guys are the best and I highly recommend getting your desert cakes there!!!“

“Such a good experience! Prices are very good and staff was so nice! I got the Candy grapes and they were amazing!! Definitely recommend trying!🩷“

“DELICIOUS food! GREAT service!“

“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.“

“So yummy!! I loved the drink called energy spirit. The service was amazing also!!“

“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.“

“Always a great stop for milk, baked goods, and gifts. Very friendly staff and quality products.“

“Great food! Our first time here and we will be back.“

“good cookies although never know when they run out and they just kinda give you what they have also need more organization because when your done ordering it’s just a like a big mob of people waiting for there order while there’s another wave of people producing that need to order or just came in“

“Thank you for taking my last minute order for a birthday cake. It was absolutely delicious. You nailed the Sunflower perfectly. My wife loved it. Highly recommend Dutch Maid!“

“Good food! Fast service! Great experience! Will come again!“

“The ice cream is fabulous, the girl working at about 845 this evening could use some customer service training. Not even an attempt at being friendly or courteous. Even rolling her eyes when I upsized my girlfriend's ice cream. Very short responses to just get us out. No toppings offered. Not quite rude, but definitely not welcoming or friendly in any way. I'll be back for the ice cream, hopefully the service will meet the same expectations that the ice cream does when I return.“

“I got my first cheesesteak from your shop just about a half an hour ago and thought it was great. Very flavorful. Thank you“

“Had the best time last night with a party of 8. All appetizers and dinners were delicious. I cannot stop thinking about the homemade tomato Gorgonzola vinaigrette. I almost licked my plate. You cannot beat this homemade food. We will be eating here regularly and will tell all of our friends!“
