Stopped by during one of Ambler’s festivals. Quick and friendly service. Both the mango ice and vanilla custard were tasty and hit the spot during a hot spring day. There are a few chairs and tables to the side if you prefer to sit and eat.

This is one of my favorite spots to visit during hot summer days for water ice and ice cream. They're always changing flavors but overall the options are very simple. I also love the blendinis and mistos. The staff here are usually made up of local high school students but the service is still good. Everyone is really friendly

Located in the heart of ambler is perfect for me and family. The water ice and custard are as expected…. Delicious!!! On a nice day, there’s live music right across the street which adds significantly to the wonderful ambiance. Much recommended!

This Rita's going downhill a little bit charged me. You almost $8 for Sunday that had a tablespoon of hot fudge and a tablespoon of whipped cream on top. The skimpiest looking Sunday I've ever had there.

Good ice cream custard, as one would expect from a Rita's. The staff and service is correct, though not especially demostrative on Sundays. The location in the middle of Ambler is great. I appreciate they show the calories of the servings. The not so good part is that while it has exclusive parking, it is extremely limited and difficult to maneuver. I have to taste the water ice and other options yet, those might change my opinion. Having family in Italy and going there often, I kind of miss the gelato when going to Rita's.

Offered samples of flavors and everyone enjoyed their creamy custards and water ice gelatis! Friendly service!

To fit my Rita's experience into one review would be truly a difficult task given the quality of this establishment. First off, I love the parking, makes the water ice worth it. It melts quickly, but the anticipation of drinking the sugar juice at the end is truly delightful. WE RECOMMEND SITTING ACROSS THE STREET AT THE CHURCH. THANK YOU, SINCERELY A

A summer classic! This year they have an Eagles themed flavor that is an apple/pear flavor that is pretty killer. Staff here is always friendly and quick to fill your order. Parking is not the best, the are only 8 or so spots and they are located on main street so its hard to get in - but there is side street parking nearby as well. I live in town so I typically just walk over. The treats are always delicious and perfect whether hot or mild out - the kids love getting water ice and go nuts when we mention Rita's. Definitely a staple from spring to fall, it won't disappoint.

I went to rita’s in amber and i’ve never experienced such nice workers!! I can’t even describe how much i love this place!! I was served by Meredith and she was so nice it made my day! the ice cream was delicious probably one of the best i’ve ever tasted. i got cookies and cream and Meredith gave me the exact amount i wanted and asked for. i’m going to go back to rita’s whatever chance i get for the workers alone!! Whoever is the manager, give Meredith a raise she deserves it for being so polite and caring. Definitely a five star review if i’ve ever seen one. Recommend for everyone.

A couple days ago I came to the Rita’s in ambler and received very kind and welcoming service, a worker Meredith made me a delightful ice flight. She had a smile on her face and was kind to customers!

Great water ice as you would expect from a Rita's. Friendly staff and service is efficient even when they get busy. Nice location in middle of Ambler which lends itself to a lot of easy walk up business. The one knock on this location is that while it has parking the parking is extremely limited and difficult.

Rita's Water Ice is always great to go to on a hot summer day. The staff at this 100 E. Butler Avenue, Ambler, PA, location (right next door to the Ambler theater) are extremely friendly and keep the lines moving at all times.Go there and you will not be disappointed.

It is a Rita's. The servers were good and friendly. I haven't gotten water ice in a long time and it was better then expected. I had the lemon and tried the mango water ice.

It's not just a cute idea, they make wonderful pies in a cool little store. My personal favorite is the Tennis Avenue (chocolate and peanut butter) but I've never had a pie there that I didn't like.

Great water ice! They have a lot of choices for flavor, some vary daily so theres usually a flavor you haven't tried yet if you go somewhat frequently. Staff are very polite and the location is run very well. Will continue to go here.

I like to get a twist cone with jimmies. I abhor anyone who calls them sprinkles. The teenagers who work here are good at making the treats and collecting the money in exchange. Good vibes at the corner of ridge and butler. I don't really mind if you call them sprinkles, that was just a little Philly humor.do ya thang.

Great shot for Rita's right in the heart of ambler. They're open late so it's a perfect spot for dessert, and the 5 layer gelati is back

Place is always crowded which is a good sign. They will always have crazy combinations if you like to try new things.

Great location - wish they would eliminate one or two of the parking spaces to add additional seating.
