The ice cream and the vibes are so cool! The vibes are very cozy and the staff are hard workers. You can also sample some of their ice cream, many of which have very creative names! (See my picture of the bourbon ice cream, "Exhausted Parent"). There are three sizes you can get, generally 1, 2, or 3 scoops. The "small" is 2 scoops and cost a little over $5. I got myself the small as a post dinner dessert with my boyfriend and some of our friends on a crisp April day in 2026. One scoop was the oatmeal cookie chocolate chip, one of the best ice creams I have had in a while, and the other scoop was called Fat Elvis, also pretty good, although it could have had more texture. They rotate their flavors sort of regularly so maybe next time I visit, I'll find a new favorite! As for now, the oatmeal cookie chocolate chip is my favorite flavor here. Yum!

This is a wonderful drive thru/ walk up custard stand we love to visit after school on hot days!…read more We visited recently last week on a very slow day for the business (unusual) and drove thru the drive thru. The young lady who helped us was very friendly with a nice smile. She let us know the flavors available and suggested her own personal favorite which was nice to hear! My daughters always get a single or double in a cup. This time it was chocolate all around! Everyone was extremely happy with the rich delicious chocolate taste of Ritters custard. It was so smooth and creamy tasting. Their scoops are very generous so we all only had just one scoop and it was more than enough! We will return again and again for a delicious after school treat or weekend dessert trip!

I asked for his name and he said "I can't give you my name." So to the "no name" manager that doesn't care about customer service you EARNED this 1 star review!

Caracas Bistro, a mid-priced Venezuelan restaurant located only 5 minutes from my new home in…read moreMishawaka, Indiana, is already a favorite place of mine as a recent Michiana resident. This was actually my second visit here - I never wrote a review of my first time eating at Caracas Bistro about a year and a half ago. I am quite sure I ordered one of their arepas during my first visit as I am an arepa FANATIC! It was very busy when we visited Sunday during brunch in September 2026. The only two waiters worked their BUTTS off, taking care of everyone. 10/10 for our funny and caring server, that's for sure. This time, my boyfriend and I ordered the following for our lunch. I ordered us a side of yuca fries ($4) with guasacaca sauce ($0.50) for an appetizer. Yuca fries are pretty filling - we received 4 pieces in our order. My bf ordered a custom Venezuelan Bowl with chorizo sausage ($16) while I had the Caracas Sampler ($15). The sampler included two mini arepas (I got minis of the pabellon and the rumbera arepas - both meat heavy types), two tequenos, and two cachapas, corn cakes topped with a soft, melted Venezuelan white cheese. Surprisingly, my favorite of the trio were the tequenos, basically fried mozzarella sticks wrapped in what tasted like Pillsbury croissant dough! Yummy yummy! Five stars all around for our great waiter, great food, and great prices! Our total bill after tax and tip was a little over $45. I didn't see a credit card fee on the bill, just fyi. If you crave ethnic food in the South Bend area, absolutely come here! Or if you crave instant diabetes, get a crazy milkshake! We saw quite a few people ordering those during our visit here. No idea how they could finish them. Lol.

I had a meal at Caracas Bistro. I decided to try the mini arepas and french fries. The service was…read morefriendly and really good! The restaurant is pretty cool inside. My issue is the food. I ordered a cheese arepa, Spanish chorizo arepa, and scrambled egg and cheese arepa. What I got was a cold piece of cheese in an arepa, sliced and grilled hot dog or some sort of Polish sausage in an arepa, and a sort of over easy egg and cheese in an arepa. The cold cheese seemed odd in a hot sandwich and it wasn't that good. The chorizo was not actual chorizo. Personally I really dislike over easy eggs...so that arepa was barely nibbled. So overall just disappointing. Frankly, making mistakes like this is a choice and not a good one.

My husband got a malt with their Kitty Kitty Bang Bang and he loved it so much he'd finished the generous serving before we even got home. I'm lactose intolerant, which can make ice cream tough, but Paddyshack had two ice flavors (the passion fruit was excellent) and a nondairy option, too. I will be dreaming of their soy butter pecan for the next few weeks. If you're looking for a great ice cream spot, definitely stop here! The staff was friendly and patient, and the restaurant is cute, with some outside benches to sit on if you want to eat your ice cream before you go home. I also love their "paddy scoop." You get to pick a mini scoop of ice cream in a flavor of your choice (for free)! It's a sweet topper for your ice cream.
