| - I was so excited to find out Rita's has a few shops in Arizona and one happens to be pretty close to me! I was a little confused at first because back in Philly, there is no inside, you just order at a window and remain outside. But by golly, I'm glad Rita (well, whoever owns this location) decided to make me open a door and walk inside to the indoor counter because 105 degrees is way to hot to enjoy a wooder ice outside!
The inside is very open and with only four small tables, with four chairs each, it's understandable. It is well lit and very clean. You have easy access to see the menu and the frozen custard options. This location has two soft serve machine each with two flavors and one "twist" option that combines the two. You also have 12-14 water ice ( a supper smooth Italian ice) flavor options and just so you know, if you choose a fruit flavor one, say watermelon, you also get pieces of the fresh fruit in your ice! My favorite option is a Gelati where they layer the soft serve frozen custard with the water ice! So yummy and so refreshing in these summer months. For those with a super sweet tooth you can also add toppings like jimmies (aka sprinkles) or have candy mix-ins, like a blizzard from DQ, that is called Blendini.
Don't be shy to ask for samples, its hard to choose from all the flavors, so expect to visit more than once as they do rotate their flavor options. For those a little more health conscious, Rita's does offer a low fat custard option and two sugar free water ice flavors.
I love Rita's and am so happy there is one here, it brings back fond memories of the East Coast!
