Richie's Gourmet Italian Ices
898 E Commercial Blvd, Oakland Park, FL
Crema's Take
“This Oakland Park spot masterfully blurs the line between Italian ice parlor and espresso bar, creating an unexpectedly delightful late-night destination where you might come for gelato but discover an exceptional affogato instead. The creative signature drinks and fresh, fruit-forward flavors speak to genuine craft—this isn't just a quick sugar fix, but a place where locals have been building memories for years, with staff who clearly care about getting each order right even during the evening rush.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Pastries on the menu. Open late. Family friendly.

Ritchie’s is a local gem! I’ve been coming here since I was a kid. Always fresh Italian ice, great flavor, fresh, perfect texture. They use real flavors and you even get fruit in some of your bites. Coming here is always a treat. 12/10 recommend
