I love frozen custard and Ritter's somehow came across my path as a good choice. I checked out their website before our road trip but was having a tough time deciding what to get. Part of me wanted just pure vanilla custard (my personal favorite) or something called a Glacier, similar to DQ's Blizzard.
The Ritter's location in Cleremont, FL was empty when we were there. Only two ladies were working and I wondered if the one answering all of our questions wasn't one of the owners. I got a sample of pumpkin frozen custard and my dad got a sample of an almond, chocolate, coconut frozen custard. All the custard and Italian ices are made on premise each day, never re-frozen. The waffle cones are made fresh each day as well.
In the end my dad got two scoops of vanilla frozen custard in a cone cup as I hemmed and hawed over my selection. I got a small Glacier with chocolate chip cookie dough mixed in and they were kind enough to sprinkle some Reese's peanut butter cups on top (they said I could create my own!). With treats in hand, we headed outside.
(Glacier with cookie dough and Reese's peanut butter cups)I am glad that I got the Glacier; it brought the simple vanilla great flavors. I really enjoyed the added Reese's peanut butter cups. I was a bit disappointed by the flavor of the plain vanilla. It was very creamy but did not have enough vanilla flavor. I actually thought Rita's tasted better. While my dad thoroughly enjoyed his frozen custard, and even said it was comparable to the famous Ted Drewe's frozen custard in St. Louis, I'm not sure I would make the trek from East Orlando to Cleremont when I have Jeremiah's Italian Ice and Rita's in my backyard. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my birthday treat and the company thoroughly.
