A local institution. Nothing like a cold Ice on a hot day. Lots of flavors. Usually a friendly staff. Overall, one of my favorite local spots. However, cards dont always work properly, so just bring cash. No big deal really. However, only 2 cars can park at a time, max. And pulling onto Peninsula Blvd, around crowds of kids, can be difficult to say the least. If not for the parking, 5 stars. Walk or ride your bike.

Delicious !! Sooo many choices/combos to create. I had the graham cracker ice and it was so good. After trying this place, they definitely are better than Rita’s. I will be returning to try more flavors.

Nice staff; quick service; benches to sit and eat out side; limited parking lot. A quick grab and go. Small vending machines or coin machines for toys and bouncing balls for the kids.

Greg was very understanding and went above and beyond to correct a little situation I had last week.

Review №30

Ices are delicious, however a few of the GIRLS need to adjust their attitude as well as ensure social distancing, not close the second window nor allow you inside and when asked, state it was getting warm inside...REALLY

Love their ices, they are so good! Lisette (not sure if thats the correct spelling) was very helpful and sweet. She even tried to help me find a new favorite, because they didnt have what I wanted. 👍👍

As the 2016 spring-summer-fall season begins...so begins another round of trips to Ralphs!!!This place has the very best in Italian ices you can find anywhere. Theres everything from the standard lemon, rainbow and cherry ices, to the fancier mango, strawberry margarita, cotton candy and Caribbean splash.Their cream ices are equally as delicious, and include black cherry cheesecake, chocolate mousse chip, orange n creme and red velvet.The quality is stellar and the service is always good. They keep the prices reasonable and if you buy a larger amount, the discounts are great.Theres parking too!I highly recommend Ralphs!

They never have a selection of sugar free ice as advertised. I used to live in Franklin Square and that location always had a good selection of sugar free ice. Getting to the point where I will start going elsewhere even if I have to travel back to Franklin Square to get what I want.

Physically this Ralpbs is a very small store. The parking can only accommodate three or four cars and is very hard to get in and out. Not suitable for anyone in a wheelchair. They have plenty of flavors. Clientele is basically the neighborhood. Its mostly a residential area so a lot of foot traffic.no restrooms that I remember.

Great tasting ices and ice cream! Went in a few times and they didnt have the flavor I wanted. A bit annoying but overall the experience was a good one. The staff were very friendly and thats enough for me to keep coming back. It is a bit pricey imo, but flavors Ive tried were delicious. I will recommend this location if you want a little treat. (Ices and ice cream

This place is great. A nice option to ice cream, though they do serve ice cream. You can sit outside or in your car. They have lots of different flavors of Icies and Ice cream. I love the pineapple icie. This place is always busy, about a few minutes wait. It is worth the price. Nice environment and I never had a problem with parking.

Although before the Covid virus, I would have rated it a 5, now it gets a 1. I will not go there anymore as some employees wear their masks under their mouths, which is worthless. I would hope the owner see this and corrects it so I can go back.
