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.

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

Unique flavors They make their ice cream on the premises, and you can tell, it's so fresh. They will let you try a small sample. Great place to take your entire family.

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.

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.

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.

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.
