Michael TchouAugust 8, 2014One of the best ice cream shops in the peninsula, and easy to stop by and grab a tub on your way back from work so you can have Rick's all the time! Salty Caramel and Mint Cookie are excellent.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
Douglas James IngleNovember 13, 2015Been eating here since the day it opened! And that was a longtime ago! It was the first place in PA to have "frozen yogurt".
- whoopie pie is good (Ice cream sanwich) chocolate whoopies are good but also tried the red velvet and cookies whoopie pie its hella good combined with your choice of flavor of ice cream...
The Computer Chip is a near ringer for Swensen's Swiss Orange Chip, which is my ultimate favorite. I'll be back soon!
Ron van ZuylenJanuary 21, 2012For over 35 years, the home of 48 hand-made ice cream delicacies such as Coffee Molasses Chip, Rose, and White Chocolate Ginger.
Tobias SchmidtJune 24, 2018Tried four different flavors, was impressed by none of them – not the blackberry crunch, not the industrial chocolate, not the saffron pistachio and not the mocha fudge

- AnitaMay 19, 2010try the whoopie pie. it is like an ice cream sandwich, but the cookies are more like CAKE.
Gilbert LewOctober 9, 2010Bring home a prepacked tub of your favorite flavor. There is more value for your $
Amy SnellJuly 7, 2012I found the ice cream disappointing -- all the flavors we tried we're very melty and oversweet. The toasted almond tasted too strongly of almond extract.
