Another year, another birthday reward from Rita's!…read more I stopped by to redeem my birthday freebie and decided to try the limited-time Shirley Temple Water Ice. It was just okay to me. I was expecting more of that classic Shirley Temple flavor, but it leaned much more toward cherry than anything else. That said, my all-time favorite is still Rita's Black Cherry Water Ice. It's the flavor I find myself coming back for year after year and never disappoints. One thing I've realized after all these years of visiting Rita's is that I've never tried one of their Misto Shakes! I think it's finally time to change that because it's definitely next on my list. Despite the steady stream of customers, the staff was friendly, fast, and incredibly efficient. They kept the line moving while still providing great service, which is always appreciated. Thanks for the birthday treat, Rita's! I'll definitely be back to satisfy my water ice cravings--and maybe finally check that Misto Shake off my list.

This is a new startup business with 2 partners, Crystal and Rick. Crystal prepares all of the…read moredesserts. Rick helps and does graphic arts. You'll see some of his work around the business. They have a unique approach to desserts. Crystal can custom make a dessert for you while you wait. You start with a base (donut, cake shell, pie crust, or rice crispy treat). You add icing, pudding, toppings, or fruit to the base. The more you add, the more it costs. They can cater for events. After 3 visits, we tried 6 items. 1) Custom dessert    Miniature cinnamon rolls, cream cheese icing, chocolate pudding, strawberries, and bananas. The cinnamon rolls are not listed as a base, but Crystal suggested using it. They were soft, moist, and slightly sweet with just enough cinnamon flavor. Overall, the flavors were well-balanced and mild. It was good. Some experimenting is needed to get an ideal dessert. The choices are numerous. Sweetness can be adjusted in some components. I can appreciate that! 2) Banana muffin with toppings of vanilla icing, crushed vanilla wafer, and a vanilla wafer. The muffin was soft, moist, and slightly sweet with a good banana flavor. The icing had a light vanilla flavor with a modest sweetness. The wafers were typical. I'm not a fan of a lot of icing, but this vanilla icing was very good. This was one of the best tasting in this group! 3) Banana pudding pie    It had an individual-sized pie crust filled with banana custard. The custard had a prominent banana flavor with the right amount of sweetness. It was smooth with a nice richness and thickness. This was simple, but very good! 4 & 5) Blueberry muffin and Chocolate muffin. They were both soft, moist, and slightly sweet. The flavors were mild. There were chocolate chips in one and real blueberries in the other. The blueberries were slightly sweet, which is a nice detail that some bakers don't do. Everything was good tasting. 6) Rice Crispy treats    There were 4 treats in a pack. They had different flavors. One was mango flavored with powdered sugar on top. That one was the best and most interesting in taste. The other 3 used regular rice crispies with marshmallows. One had chocolate syrup soaked into it. It was okay and rather simple. One had strawberry icing with candy hearts. It was sweet because of the hearts. The rest of the flavors were mild. One had strawberry icing drizzled on it. Simple and okay tasting. The service was friendly, informative, and helpful. Crystal is one of the nicest people I have met. She tries to tailor desserts to your liking. She'll listen to suggestions. The dining areas and restrooms were very clean. They are located in The Spot Food Hall at Restaurant Row Apollo shopping center which is near the Branch Avenue Metro subway on the Green line. Parking is plentiful and free. This is a local small business that appreciates your support! Give them a visit when you're in the area.

You can refer to their menu that lists all the ingredients that are used. I was curious to try their bean pie, so maybe next time! I did reach out to the staff, and they stated that they're more of a pop-up, so you'll need to keep your eyes peeled for their posted next date(s) of appearances. They ended up being set up in the center area of the dining hall.

I had a few questions about the different bobas, pearls, and jellies, and the staff actually took the time to explain everything and answer my questions. That was a much different experience from other boba places I recently visited. I ended up ordering a type of boba that wasn't really my personal preference, and the drink was a little sweeter than I like, but that's completely on me and part of learning what I like. I'd definitely come back and refine my order now that I know more about the options. Overall, I'd recommend this place, especially for people who already enjoy boba or want to explore different drink combinations. The customer service was welcoming, which made the experience even better.
