| - It's great to see Rita's livening up this corner of Plaza-Midwood. While chain businesses are usually not my faves, for some reason Rita's chain-status doesn't bother me in the slightest . Maybe it's because the people who work here are so darn nice--just like you would expect to see at a local mom and pop ice cream parlor.
I, unfortunately, missed the free custard week, but walked down here with my family in tow for a little Saturday night treat last week. Despite having a line out the door and down the sidewalk, everyone who worked behind the counter was so nice and helpful--no pushiness at all. And the owner of the place seemed so thrilled that everyone wanted to be there. Adorable! There were lots of kids there, of course, but everyone really seemed on their best behavior. The place just had a great energy to it.
I got the lowfat vanilla and strawberry swirl custard, and it was really good. Given the excellent texture and flavor or the vanilla, it was really hard to believe it was lowfat (well done!) It seemed that everyone around me had bought the gelati (a mixture of custard and italian ice), so maybe that's one to try next.
So, nice work, Rita's. Glad to have you in the hood.
