I enjoyed this custard for over 50 years since I lived in the Rochester , NY area as a kid . Was thrilled when it came here after I move here several years ago. In my opinion there is no better CUSTARD in the world !

Smallest Root Beer float cup was only half full I thought she forgot the ice cream but there was no exaggeration one teaspoon. I was going to ask the girl to fill the cup but just decided I won’t be returning. Still thirsty.

Such a perfect summer spot and thanks for being so good with peanut allergies!

Great custard! Relaxed downtown area to enjoy in as well.

The biggest problem with this frozen custard is that it's scooped, and not directly from the machine, therefore it's not nearly as creamy or smooth as frozen custard is famously known for. My vanilla one scoop cone tasted exactly like a McDonald's ice cream cone, and was about 4x the price. This place is very expensive. 4 kids cups and 2 adult cups cost $28. The inside is small and tight, and the outside street offers ~8 plastic Adirondack chairs. Having had proper frozen custard in the Midwest, I cannot recommend this custard as anything more than over priced soft serve. The employee was curt, and kept asking 'what else?' in a tone as is we were wasting her time with our decision.

Excellent frozen custard; much better than ordinary ice cream. Smooth, creamy, tasty and lots of toppings to choose from. Not a lot of flavors to choose from but definitely worth the visit.

Their service is excellent but the quality of the ice cream is average! You don't taste anything special.

Frozen custard, smooth and rich alternative to ice cream. Kids love the birthday cake flavor which is actually pretty good and I am not normally a fan. Salty caramel and butterscotch are very good, perhaps just a bit too rich/sweet, a small scoop is more than enough. The inside is very small, mainly counter service, seats are outside. Parking can be grabbed at a meter spot adjacent or park a half a block down or around the corner or so, it is on the edge of the town center, it is not horrible to find parking nearby and take a short walk if needed.
