    I love ice cream and this place has very good ice cream. The high reviews are definitely true. I ordered a small and it was pretty generous. I absolutely loved the flavor and the color! The ice cream tastes fresh and it was good. You can tell they put time into developing the flavors and texture. The ice cream is thick and creamy, it coats your mouth. The ice cream is also very affordable, not too expensive! I recommend this place for families, casual dates, a group outing, or a sweet treat! It's a really unique store, with unique ice creams. I like the different types of ice cream they have and flavors. They have their own private parking lot, so you don't have to worry about parking space. There's plenty of tables inside and out for you to sit and enjoy. I like getting ice cream and eating it outside on a warm day.

    Cold creamy goodness served up with a smile (under the mask). Oh, was this place a wonderful surprise for a weeknight after-dinner treat. They have so many options..tons of ice cream flavors and a bunch of food items (ie walking tacos in Doritos bags). They have fresh fruit popsicles and fresh fruit bowls as well. I don't love fruit, so I was just there for the ice cream! My favorite flavor was "frappuccino". They have cool, unusual flavors like "queso" and "tequila" too. They texture is super creamy and I love that its not super sweet. So glad to have found this little gem.

    Paleteria Dulce Vida is another Mexican ice cream place in Columbus. It's located in a pretty good area for such a place. This area of Columbus has lots of Hispanic immigrants and it gets a lot of them here, which is a good sign. If they think it's good, anyone else probably should also. There's lots of flavors including non dairy flavors. If you don't know what paleteria means, it will help to learn before you come. It's Spanish for frozen dessert. There's a pretty big selection of ice cream and popsicles. Among the flavors are the usual like coconut, and the more exotic like chili. The ice cream is about $2 per scoop. It's about $2 for one popsicle, which isn't bad. The paletas are good but also be sure to have the ice cream, or the sabores. It also comes in non dairy flavors. There's some unique flavors like soursop, which is kind of like a pear but sweeter. If you want good Mexican ice cream come to Paleteria Dulce Vida. It has pretty friendly service even if you aren't a speaker of Spanish. With all the attention this kind of ice cream is getting around Columbus you should try it from this.

    Get bored with the typical ice cream shop, then come and check this place out. Not only they have tons of flavors to choose from, they do have some unique flavor that you may not find from other places. And no need to stress out from picking, the lady is happy to offer you some sample to try them all. Beside ice cream, they have popsicles, drinks, and lot of Mexican snacks that I never heard of. This colorful haven will be my to go place for desserts and snacks.

    Mangonada

    The mangonada which consists of mangoes, mango sorbet, tamarind sauce and candy pieces is delicious. The staff working that day was very friendly and offered multiple samples. The scoops are generous and the prices are affordable. The elote ice cream tastes just like the corn. There is also pine nut ice cream that is delicious too.

    Generous sizes. It tastes like the ingredients are fresh. The staff is very friendly, doesn't rush you and the climate is comfortable. This place is low-key and certainly not obnoxiously pretentious like some first name ice cream spots in Cbus. The ice cream is simple which is powerful. But you can get Extravaganza with added sprinkles. Eating this tastes like nostalgia. I may not have grown up with a true paleteria in my day but this place tastes like Home!

    Wow, this place is so cute! I love how colorful the inside of the shop is and how the staff greets you. Dulce Vida has any craving available right in front of you! I decided to go with the Mangonada which is mango sorbet, mango chunks, chumoy sauce and tajin! It was the perfect amount of sweet and spicy. Best thing is that it is only $4.99 on Tuesdays!

    Stopped by Whit's Frozen Custard in Uptown Westerville this afternoon after riding up State Street…read moreand spotting the sign for the flavor of the week: Twisted Coffee. The sign did exactly what it was supposed to do, it made us stop immediately. The frozen custard was smooth, rich, and very creamy, exactly what you want from a great dessert spot in Westerville. The coffee flavor was tasty and well balanced, with fudge, peanut butter, cookies, and crumble mixed in, making it a fun and unique treat. I would have liked just a little more coffee flavor to come through, but it was still absolutely worth the stop. If you're looking for the best frozen custard in Uptown Westerville, this is a great place for an afternoon or evening treat while walking State Street. The location is right in the heart of Uptown, which makes it perfect for a spontaneous dessert stop. Address: 46 N State St, Westerville, OH 43081 (Uptown Westerville Inc)

    We were in town for a quick weekend retreat. We visited Whit's after dinner for a custom treat that…read morewe couldn't get at home. It seemed like everyone had the same idea because this place stayed pretty packed during our time there. I had the brownie blitz ands my mini ordered the nachos. We both enjoyed our desserts and my daughter's nachos ended up dripped on her shirt and lap...a great sign that she was satisfied and didn't come up for air . The warm brownie was perfection and confess I enjoyed that warm treat along with the custard. Happy we decided to make this our stop.

    Rita's in Westerville is the place to go if you're looking for a sweet treat . Their exclusive…read moreparking lot (shared with one other business) is refreshingly easy to maneuver, a rare luxury on State Street. I love that there are two ways to order: outside at the window if you want fresh air or inside if you want to escape the elements,. It's a very choose your own custard adventure. Service though can be inconsistent. Visit 1: Three workers, zero greeting s. I actually pinched myself to make sure I was alive. Visit 2: Three different workers, all Energizer Bunnies. Visit 3: One worker, friendly and quick. One small suggestion: since they already wear Rita's shirts, a consistent dress code for bottoms would make the team look more professional. In other words, no pajama bottoms thank you. As for the treats, the twist custard, which is half vanilla and half chocolate is a dream. The mango Italian ice was tasty but a tad too sweet for me, and the strawberry milkshake was delicious with real strawberries. With great parking, great custard, and service that's occasionally perfect. I recommend Rita's - pajama pants and all.

    A solid non-dairy treat (unless you add their yummy custard!)!…read moreFast, friendly service at the counter, especially today on free Rita's day to celebrate spring. I tried their new mystery Peeps flavor - still not 100% sure what it is.
