Rita's of Brea

Welcome! Rita’s of Brea is a family owned and operated small business in North Orange County that takes pride in creating and serving fresh daily, handmade, Italian Ice and custard treats for our friends and neighbors. 

The current COVID-19 situation and our desire to support social distancing and “flattening the curve” has given us many new opportunities to serve our community in new ways - like online ordering and order pick up!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to serve you our Ice, Custard, and Happiness during stressful times and joyful times.  We wish you and your family all the best. Stay safe!

Rita's History Lesson: It started in the summer of 1984. Bob Tumolo, a former Philadelphia firefighter, opened a small Italian Ice business on his front porch in a suburb of Philly. That first shop, named after his wife, Rita, was created to offer the best-tasting, highest-quality Italian Ice. Today, Rita’s is in over 30 states, serving up Ice, Custard, and Happiness to millions of loyal fans.
