Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard — Restaurant in Whitpain Township

For the people traveling through Blue Bell, that live in blue bell, or just like to get some Rita's(after dinner! Hehe)and find themselves near here - when this location is open it should be your go-to Rita's so long as its not entirely out of the way! For a plethora of reasons why you should stop by THIS specifically, check out the rest of my review, but there is a TL;DR for those who don't want to at the end! Just get through a single paragraph, roughly ;).

The Blue Bell location is superb parking, right off a major route, fantastic space to sell their products from(super interesting building), and along with many other things - super handicapped friendly. My father is deaf, and they always go the extra mile. Their front walkway has an extra low grades ramp for wheelchair access at an easy-going angle.

All in all, this is one of my favorite specific locations of Rita's and I chose to add some thoughts about the place that put it over the top for me!

TL;DR: This is the Blue Bell location of a ice cream and gelato franchise of store locations that all share the relatively same decor and menus with a few variations - depending on the market it serves. Good parking, good HC access and support, quality staff and right off a major route in, and around Blue Bell.

Hope this helps,...

We came here at 12:15 on a Saturday. Perfect weather, dry and sunny. When we first arrived there were no cars in the parking lot so I checked the hours to make sure they were open (they open at noon). We saw that the window at which to order was open. And then we stood there for five long minutes, hoping someone would appear to take our order. No one did, so we left and went to the Rita's in conshohocken. I don't know if maybe somebody left the window open when they closed the night before? But, their hours said they were open (I guess the window being open counts?).

I have a serious pet peeve about small business owners not keeping to their published hours. It irks me...

When I visited this location the line was off the patio and the team behind the counters seemed severely understaffed. But even at this disadvantage, the team was kind and apologetic about the wait (which was really not any more than what you would wait at a location twice the size with a full staff). The ice and custard are always great, but it is truly the team serving the product that makes this Rita's a great place for a nice cool snack...
