About this business
Rick's Ice Cream's tagline is "rather rich," and it's a fitting description - their ice cream is made in small, five-gallon batches using local dairy, high-quality flavorings and Guittard chocolate. Popular flavors (a total of 48 are available) range from time-tested favorites such as coffee and Rocky Road to the slightly unusual Computer Chip, a chocolate ice cream with chocolate chips and orange zest, Blue Moon, their secret flavor with a taste reminiscent of fruity cereal, or Valencia orange sorbet. They also offer more e... read more

Great ice cream parlor We love their ice creams and we also love the size of their scoops. They have a small scoop for kids. I love their ginger ice cream. Though its quite a drive for us, it is worth every mile.
Can we go to Rick's for ice cream? Rick's Rather Rich ice cream shop is such a treat for adults and children alike. Their friendly staff and unique flavors makes the entire experience worthwhile. They even offer a less-expensive "mini" size and allow you to get two flavors! I wish that they had a little more seating, but you can always wander over to the Piazza picnic tables.
Worth the Trip! What a great ice cream store! I've been a fan of this store for 20 years, and my fascination hasn't diminished. The ice creams are decadent, flavorful...so good! Many "exotic" flavors too (my favorite is Computer Chip). The cones require quick work, because of the natural ingredients. Otherwise, they melt all over you. Oh, what a problem to have on a hot day. Only downside of this shop is the limited seating. I've found that a good alternative is a stroll with my cone over to Cubberley Community Center. In fa... read more
Great Ice Cream Rick's is a local favorite for homemade icecream. The variety of flavores is suprising for a small place and it is really good stuff! Rick's supports the community by contributing hundreds of coupons to the middle school Science Fair.
Great Home made Ice Cream It's a great place to taste unusual, creamy, sensual ice cream in exotic flavors, such as roses. However, it is not a place where you can sit and spend a while with your kids - it is a small parlor with one or two tables.
Everyone Goes to Rick*s And there's a good reason why they would. Kids of all ages will love the homemade ice cream parlor with the old-fashion feel, the lure of flavors from Molasses Coffee Chip to Bubble Gum, to Pumpkin in the fall and Egg Nog in the winter. Did I mention the ice cream cakes? Scoops are a mere $2, and the menu includes sundaes, shakes and fountain sodas. Tthe service is always friendly and efficient. Life without Rick*s is not pleasant to contemplate.
Friendly place.. that offers some of the best ice creams with lots of seasonal and unique flavors. Their mango, peach, kulfi, and computer chip is one of the best. Great place for the school community to hang out..
Ricks Ice Cream This is really a traditional ice cream parlour with a wonderful selection of flavors. Unfortunatley there is not a sitting area. Reasonable prices and portions for children. Also offer gift certificates - fun for kids to receive.
Gourmet Magazine called this the best ice cream cone in the country All of the ice cream is made in the back of the shop. They have a wide selection of flavors from your all usual favorites to unusual ones like chocolate ginger, which is pretty self explanatory, and Kulfi, an Indian flavor with rose, saffron and pistachios. Perennial winner of the Palo Alto Weekly "Best Of" competition.
