Is this inside the plaza near the community center... if so can someone tell me what the name of this plaza is will be heading there?
A:
Hello, I don't know if the plaza has a name but there's a Piazzas, Mountain Mikes, Green Elephant, and Peets Coffee in the same plaza. Ricks Ice Cream is on the side closer to Cubberley Community Center.

Found this place I think 2021-2022, really like their flavors and hometown feel to it.
Their ice cream are slightly thicker than others. It almost reminds me of Turkish dondurma. Doesn't melt as quick neither, which is awesome.
I accidentally snapped my plastic spoon trying to eat it.
You'll need to take a number if you want the classic ice cream service of being able to sample flavors over the counter. But if you know what you want, you can order from the large tablets in the corner.
I was able to skip over a fairly decent line and had my order done in literal seconds going the tablet route.Helpful 16Thanks 3Love this 11Oh no 0 - 1685163021215Jan 16, 2024
Mmm, ice cream on a rainy night... or a milkshake to be exact, the chocolate kind! Turns out, this place offers a multitude of different chocolate ice cream flavors!! It was the perfect dessert after dinner on Saturday, just the right sweetness for my taste buds, and so cute with the candy striped straw. Also got the strawberry lemonade sorbet and old school lemonhead candy (chewy version), which were delightful.
Service was helpful and efficient, no waits (except the staff waiting for US to make our selections... sorry but there's too much good stuff to choose from on the menu). The atmosphere and decor give off a casual and fun-loving vibe. There's also indoor seating, a restroom, and easy parking right out front for convenience, making Rick's the ideal spot for enjoying sweet treats.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0 - 598043051Jul 22, 2023
Rick's "rather rich" ice cream -- sort of a local old fashion parlor with some interesting Indian inspired flavors. A small scoop is $5 so it's a little expensive but a nice treat if you're in the area. Yes you can sample some flavors if you're not sure what you'd like to commit to.
We ordered:
Butter beer -- just like the Harry Potty drink at Disneyland!
Masala chai -- lots of tea flavor
Saffron pistachio -- the least sweet of them all and has a nod to Indian spices
I also sampled their kulfi flavor and that was really good too -- rose water plus cardamom! I'll have to get that next time. They also have ice cream cups for dogs, ice cream cakes and small cupcakes. Make sure you take a number when you come in so that you can be served in the proper order. The place is very 1950's old town parlor vibe. There's enough seating for several families. Plenty of parking in the small plaza.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Sep 9, 2023
Came on a Saturday evening. Not a lot of rush, we tasted few flavors and liked all!
Finally got a medium sized plain cone with a scoop of mango and a scoop of Choco cherry. Loved the Choco cherry.
We did taste several of their ice cream flavors and all of them were good. The sweetness was not too much, just right for us and the textures were soft, smooth, melting in your mouth.
Hope to visit again soon.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 40127163Jul 3, 2023
Stumbled onto this jewel after donating some board games nearby! It was empty at first but within 30 minutes, the store was completely crowded with families all ordering ice cream.
I was beyond overjoyed with the sundae in my hand, it was so delicious. The lychee, peach, and mango ice creams were all amazing. Would love to come again soon!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - May 10, 2024
Ricks ice cream is not too bad but not too good either. The pricing here seems excessive as it is 750 for a medium scoop ice cream. That scoop was pretty average compared to other shops as well. They have many flavors to choose from that somewhere very interesting. The staff is very nice and gave samples as needed. I tried the kulfi flavor which had a few spices in them but was too much for me. I had such a difficult time choosing because there were so many flavors that sounded so good. I settled on bananas since you can never get that around much. It was delicious nice fresh banana flavors did not taste too artificial and not too overly sweet. My wife got industrial chocolate, which had fudge and cookie pieces in it and she really enjoyed it. The only issue we both had was to both felt our ice cream was kind of icy, which was weird because both of our ice creams look like from a fresh batch. I would recommend this spot for some good ice cream.

I didn't expect much prior to coming in here, but I was rather surprised to find so many different ice cream flavors available. They had some really unique flavors like kulfi, cherry chocolate, and my favorite, mocha almond fudge. There were also vegan options, sorbet, and a case filled with tubs of ice cream to take home. Overall, this is a great place to stop in for an ice cream fix.

Dole Whip on weekends! Fridays-Sundays! Call first to double check. Super good, refreshing, light, tart and sweet. Miss Hawaii after having it!

My partner and I were in town to visit some of his friends that returned from Michigan. We just finished up watching the new Ant-man movie which was great. We were looking for something sweet after dinner and found this family own place on yelp.
We were able to get 3 to 5 ice cream tastings per person (there was four of us). After we decided, one of us got their Swiss chocolate mocha ice cream in a hand baked chocolate dipped waffle cone. They love chocolate; super decadent. The other shake officianados ordered a couple milkshakes---vanilla and vanilla bean mixed, and Kulfi. Kulfi is a cardamom, pistachio, Indian, authentic flavor that is made in house and it was divine. Definitely a must try!
Customer service wasn't out of ordinary and no one really smiled or was super cordial. Just mainly there doing their job and it wasn't busy either. A few groups followed us in afterwards. There are signs all over the store and entrance to warn clients of only allowing 1 party (group of clients) in at a time so they seem COVID conscience which is good.
I noticed they also have pints and gallons of ice cream for sale that are pre-packed and ready to go in the freezer for anyone wanting to pick-up.
The Kulfi flavor was great so I would revisit for their other in-house homemade flavors but other than that it wasn't a special experience in terms of customer service or ambiance.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 2
