    Mangonada
    Alice D.

    A great dessert spot! We pass this place all the time driving near Everett and spontaneously decided to drop by - we didn't leave disappointed! Parking is tough if it's busy, but otherwise you literally just pull over in front of the area and it works. They have a cute seating area next to the ordering stand and it feels very retro - neonish decor and turf. The menu is huge - tons of slushes, ice cream options, and even hot foods. We shared a mangonada (two of us) and it was huge - the price I felt was pretty fair for what we got and the taste was great. An awesome mix of flavors and the cup itself came out super fast - good service! Overall, I will definitely be coming by again sometime when I'm in the area again - while I am an ice cream fan mostly, I think their slush was great and I can't wait to try other flavors.

    Strawberry Lemonade slush

    It's such a cute place! Most days, we order for pick up or delivery, but one summer day, we walked over with our toddler and enjoyed some sweet treats at their little outdoor seating area. There's always a constant flow of people, and service is quick. My go-to flavor for slush is lemon, but recently, my favorite is cherry and watermelon. Strawberry lemonade is also a family favorite. For ice cream, I love black raspberry paired with Death by Chocolate. Oreo and strawberry are also excellent choices. They have a seasonal ice cream in apple crisp that I tried last week, which was so delicious! Very decadent, so I could only have a few bites.

    All those corner stores in Boston carrying Richie's Super Supreme Italian Ice? This retro storefront, located inches right off the Parkway freeway traffic, is the original homebase of the ubiquitous Boston ice cream buckets found in our little delis and shops. Indoor seating - non-existent. There's a equally bright and bold artificial grass field and patio seating next to the store front. Simply order from the window and sit to enjoy the flowing traffic and classic Italian-Latin-American cuisine? The menu is truly a symbol of American experience: comfort late-night diner food with the main focus supposedly the sweet Italian slush. However, 2 of the 3 neon menu boards are dominated by their other attractive offerings special ice cream sundaes, heart clogging savory smash burgers, and the flaky pastelitos (Cuban turnovers). Tough choices to debate - fried churros sundae and beef pastelito won out. Pastleito - piping hot, flaky, and savory. Mama got it right - definitely worth getting. Sundae - solid ice cream, great churros. Well worth the price. Stop by if you're in the area (near Costco - another dear favorite). Won't disappoint.

    Amazing slush, the og is super family friendly and great. Aesthetic rocks and feels genuine.

    Mangonada Slush

    Let's just say that the only reason it's not a 5 star ... YET is because this was my first time here and I only tried to Mangonada . I would give it a 9 out of 10. Not a full 10 only because once it started melting and turned into all liquid it was really good (for me). It may be different for you though. I also thought they only had regular slush options with just a bit more than my corner store . Boy was a fooled lol . They offer food and a wide variety of slushes. From original corner flavors to cool tasty ones like the one I got !! I'm going back too and I'm getting food and the sour slush next time lol . Oh and you can get it delivered by one of those food apps ! Seating is outside. They also have limited parking . Must try with family, yourself, friends, or date . Expect a line and it's worth the wait .

    I didn't get the appeal of the Richis' slush from the grocery store - who wants rock hard packed flavored ice? This is a whole other animal. Creamy, smooth ices with flavors to make anyone happy - old favorites like lemon and cherry, and new delicacies like coconut, peach, and sour rainbow. A small is a delightful amount - a large can feed a family. The only downside is location - this is in kind of a crappy neighborhood on the side of a busy road. Do like me and order and then eat in your car (or drive to a nearby park)!

    Rainbow USA, is literally the most amazing slush... but then you try Richie's fire (fireball) and it's heaven! Or you try Peach or Pear and it's like you're lost in an orchard somewhere. My family comes here many times over the year to buy our 2.5 gallons of slush that last us a few months of indulgence. We love Richies and always bring family here from out of state. It's like no other slush you've ever had.

    I have been going to Richies as long as I have been alive... I dont know where or how to start writing this review... It is everything I have ever known, I compare all slush or the like TO richies... There is nothing better. EVERY flavor you can think of & then some... Ice Cream as well.. The only downside is as long as I can remember ever girl that has ever worked there has way too much attitude... Thats the been the case since I was little, through school, young adult.. I dont get it, Im from Everett too, Often its just girls from the area but why such attitude?!?! But that wont stop me from going, again & again... Now my kids love it too... Prices are still super affordable & not crazy like other big time places have seem to have gone...

The coffee was soaked inside and I liked how it was not too sweet. The pistachio cream in the pistachio cake complemented the dessert and had a flaky outside. This store does accept credit card.
