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

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.

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.

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..

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.

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.

A hidden gem You wouldn't think to look at it, but Ricks Rather Rich Ice Cream makes the best ice cream around. They're in a small shop in a mini-mall. With really cool and ever-changing flavors (try orange-chocolate, or chocolate-orange) they actually supply a number of local restaurants. Very high butter fat content means tasty treats!
