Rick's Ice Cream

RESTAURANT TYPE = DESSERT
LOCATION: Palo Alto
RATING: 5 stars (excellent)
COST: $$ (medium, on the higher side for ice cream but the quality & quantity is worth it)

The Lowdown:
As a major ice cream addict Rick's really hits the spot. Besides being home made ice cream and winning the Best of Palo Alto contest for over the past 5 years, Rick's is unique in that it boasts a lot of unusual flavors. A few examples include Saffron Pistachio, Rose, Sideways (Raspberry cabernet with chocolate chips), and computer chip (dark chocolate ice cream with grand marnier). Of course they have normal flavors such as vanilla, strawberry, green tea, sorbets, mint chocolate chip, cookies and cream etc.

Dish Recommendations:
My favorites include the rose, mocha chip (dark dark chocolate and not to sweet), blueberry, coconut, and sideways. Note that some flavors such as eggnog are seasonal, and usually there are a few different flavors everytime you come in (seem to rotate).

Other things to note:
Open 11:30am-9pm Sun through Thurs
Open 11:30am-10pm Fri & Sat
Also offers catering (ice cream socials etc)
