Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream Shop • $
1 S Chester Rd, Swarthmore

“Shareese (May of spelled that wrong but I apologize!) was super helpful and understanding with my order. I called this store in hopes of finding an ice cream cake and he was sooo nice! 3 other local Baskin Robbins stores turned me down in the rudest way possible even though I could still place an online order for the cake I was looking for. The other stores told me that if I placed the order they were going to call and force me to cancel it (which is absolutely absurd to me) some of the stores even had their doors shut so no one could come in. Shareese was so nice and helpful and even offered me a free coffee for my troubles and I still got the cake with a smile from the other employees there! That’s what I call awesome customer service and spreading holiday joy!“

“Luckily we got here just before a long line formed. After first glance at their menu we noticed they offer quite a variety of items, flavors and they're really resonably priced. We tried the soft pretzel and the strawberry banana flavor which was good but I couldn't really taste the banana. They accept cards for payment but you must spend $5 or more in order to do so. I recommend others giving this place a try!“

My wife's first real water ice was at the original South Philly location on Oregon Ave, then we found Havertown.Pops is by far the best water ice I have ever had, and I've been enjoying Pops since I was a kid. The Havertown location is spot on like Philly, and it saves my a trip onto the city.Do yourself and try this, the pineapple is my favorite with actual chunks of fruit.,“

However, the line moved fast.My younger son ordered the mint chocolate chip ice cream and my older son tried the moose tracks. (I took a taste of both)The mint chocolate chip was so delicious, it reminded me of ice cream I got from a little candy shop up in Northern Wisconsin when I was a kid. My older son said that their moose tracks was the best he's ever had.We will definitely go back!Only wish they had some gluten free cones or cookies.“

“I was out at the Home Depot in Broomall and was taking West Chester Pike home and came across this Rita's and decided to stop off. I went up to the window and looked at their menu. I was surprised to see they had a variety of custard flavors including mint, birthday cake along with the usual vanilla and chocolate. I decided to try the birthday cake custard in a medium cup. It came out to a little over $3, which I found to be fairly reasonable and it came out very fast. There was not much seating other than a few benches in the back, which were filled. However, they had a nicely sized parking lot that you could walk around and enjoy your sweet treat at. Altogether, this is a nice Rita's with a variety of water ice and custard flavors with good customer service.“
