Rick's Ice Cream

Plenty of flavors, including vegan options - sorbets are delicious, but the vegan coffee ice cream is the best. Nice interior, restroom for customers.

Outstanding ice cream cake. The birthday cake flavor was… rather rich and the cake was perfectly moist and sweet. The green coarse sugar was a surprising textural contrast too. A pleasant treat.

This is a nice treat on a warm day. The flavors are great. My brother always orders 2 chocolates, each with a distinct flavor. Mexican chocolate and computer chip. Each reminded me of Christmas, particularly one in Cabo because of the cinnamon. I like the kulfi, it has a nice texture. Our parents like pistachio almond. Lychee sorbet was refreshing, I did miss the creaminess of the other flavors though.

I came to this local Ice cream place in Palo Alto recently. Good amount of parking and there is also a EV charging place nearby. The had a lot of options to choose from ranging from Scoops, Sundaes and Milkshakes. Staff was helpful and the place overall had good vibes.

I needed a good old fashioned chocolate milkshake a couple days after I had surgery and this was the perfect place. It was delicious! They have some interesting flavors too, I bought a cup of a spiced ice cream, kulfi, and it was absolutely fabulous.

One of the most amazing ice shops in the area. They have so many delicious ice cream flavors, unique specialties like ice cream nachos, cookies, cupcakes, fudge and other delights. I love this place.

Has become one of our favorite ice cream shops in the Bay Area now. Choice of unique flavors like rose, saffron pista, kulfi and traditional flavors like strawberry and chocolate makes it easier to satisfy taste buds of all our family members in in stop. They sell ice cream cakes and some cup cakes as well.

Most underrated bay area ice cream shop. Service is quick and there are several tables behind the counter area. Their saffron, salted caramel are my favs but you honestly cant go wrong here.

First time. I ordered a single scoop of cotton candy I.C. on a regular waffle cone. I'm currently on my way back for another one 🥴😛 the ice cream was fantastic and the cone tasted so fresh. I think I'm in love 🥹❤️🍦 so happy I went back for a taste of blue moon 🤤 The staff is a1 🤗

Amazing flavors with so many choices: everything from basics of chocolate and vanilla to innovative combos like “cookies & dough” (Oreo + cookie dough) and “sideways” (Cabernet, raspberry, choc chips). Old-school, small town vibes, in the best way. Our favorite! Would recommend!

The social distancing is really good and so is the dessert. There's a bunch of creative flavors and other sweets like the classic caramel apple pop and other candies, cupcakes and cakes. I recommend the pineapple soft serve. It's like Dole Whip 🤭 And there's a really cool flower flavor that tastes like a rose!

This place was serving icecream for a loooong time! Used to be called Rick's Rather Reach Icecream. It is a local institution. Very good icecream with unique flavors like sideways, pinot noir flavored, kulfi, pistachios and rose, or computer chip, chocolate orange with square chocolate chips. My kids also love their icecream cakes.

Not been here since boys were very young. Awesome ice cream still They even have a special peanut butter, coconut, and banana ice cream just for dogs

Wow great 😋😋 type ice cream flavour and good taste.Here the serving staff is very good with their communication,that’s great 😊 Love this place!

Wow! Ordered a custom ice cream cake for my son’s birthday and it was amazing! Exactly what we wanted and my boy was thrilled over it. He wanted Donald Duck’s face on the top. Idk who ended up being in charge of that part but whoever it was is talented. Not only did it look fantastic, the cake and ice cream were delicious (vanilla cake with strawberry ice cream) yum! Thank you so much in helping make my son’s birthday the best it could be🙏

Fantastic ice cream with an old-school, authentic taste, elevated by classic flavors like pistachio and saffron. In our opinion, it’s still the best ice cream in Northern California—even though it has slightly changed direction since the ownership change. Friendly local staff are always smiling and welcoming, which keeps us coming back.

My nostalgia for this place may color my review - but I've been coming to Rick's since I was in elementary school. From my perspective, the quality and flavor of their ice cream has never changed, always solidly good. I just had a birthday recently, and the cake was purchased from Rick's - best ice cream cake I've ever had. I'd say they know what they're doing. Only complaint I'd have is that the interior of their shop is rather cramped - though obviously that's not something that they can just change easily.

An eclectic place with old school ice cream This is not gelato or the modern home style ice cream, this is straight in your face industrial stuff with how ice cream was in the 70s and 80s with synthetic flavors The store is well laid out , the dining area was closed when we arrived at 630 pm They have around 40-48 flavors depending on the season and they had about 6-8 flavors of chocolate alone Which is a big deal I would say they have a good concept in an amazing location , they should explore replacing some offerings with more homestyke recipes , like maybe offering gelato or natural flavors I had the saffron pistachio ice cream , could taste the synthetic flavor for hours Reminded me of how my dad used to make ice cream with bottles of flavors

Jas been there in Wednesday 17th of May 2023 at 5 pm . The place was reasonably crowded and we picked up our no and it was 46 . We were 5 of us including a kid of 5 years. The shop has got wonderful flavour like industrial chocolate computer chips rose litchi and many more varieties. The taste was excellent. When my daughter was asking for ice cream for taste , pat came an answer only 2 per person allowed though she was asking herself after getting 2 for the 5 year kid . This could have been little more gentle than giving a curt response . I would definitely visit again as the choices are plenty and it tastes good

Your friendly neighborhood ice cream shop! Lots of year-round and seasonal flavours. Great place to stop at if you're around the area. Very friendly store!

This is definitely a neighborhoods Ice cream spot, service is great! There’s plenty of seating inside and benches outside We been coming here for a while now They have new and exciting ice cream combinations, which I enjoy, the kids love the sherbet, but there’s enough ice cream flavors for everyone. They also have an eatable spoon :)

Trust me, the top 5 flavors are matcha green tea, saffron pistachio, coffee, kulfi, and rose.

The ice cream is alright. Nothing extraordinary. I liked it that they are offering edible spoons for only 50ç. So, for the sake of environment spend those 50 cents and buy the edible spoon. It’s a different experience eating with a hard cookie spoon but it’s not bad.

I’d say 3.5 stars. Pricey, with not the best flavors. Ice cream is served lukewarm, and does not have great texture. Nice atmosphere, with ok employees. It’s mostly the price and how the flavor is not great that makes me give it this review. Nostalgic but not worth your money.
