Rick’s Cafe

They have good prices but they don’t accept twenties which is a bit ludicrous since its on a college campus. Most ATMs you can only withdraw twenties. Very crowded and service was not empathetic.

Rick’s is a student/​volunteer-​run ice cream café that has a relaxed college-​vibe while boasting ridiculously cheap prices. CASH ONLY.
It’s $ 1 per scoop, and Rick’s definition of a «scoop» is like 5 scoops, and more than enough to comfortably satisfy two. So to rephrase that, a dollar is enough to buy enough ice cream for two people, which is unheard of! They have an average selection of flavors that usually includes classics like Rocky Road, Mint Chocolate Chip, and some sorbet-​type options as well.
Oh, and they have this crazy item called the «Are You Serious» for only $ 10, and you can see it in the picture below, where they just pile a bunch of stuff into a bowl; I’m pretty sure it’s different every time you order it. It’s a fun option if you’re going with a group of friends, and it’s probably enough to feed about 6 – 7 total.
The ambiance here consists of a dimly lit seating area, a student-​controlled Spotify playlist, and if you go at night, a crowd of students waiting in line or sitting down playing board games. The later you go, the more likely it is that all the «good» flavors are out. Still, they give you so much for your money that it’s hard to complain about anything.

$ 1 for one scoop (which is actually 4.)
$ 2 for two scoops (which is actually 8.)
Pandora bumping. Cookies baking. Ice cream scooping.
The mass of students is a little confusing (which is actually really confusing.) but just follow the flow and you’ll be fine. Enter and order on the right. The ice cream flavors are on a piece of paper taped to the counter. You’ll get a number and they will call it out when your order is ready. Cone, bowl, italian soda, coffee, sundae, shake… your choice.
As if the cheap creamy goodness isn’t enough, they have comfy couches you can play Taboo, Guess Who, and Battleship on. Cause… Unless you get here when they open… You’ll have time to kill.
Beware, card lovers, it’s CASH ONLY.
