“A Genuine Surprise Stop on Our Way Back From NYC

We were on our way home from NYC, planning to wash the car before calling it a day, when we drove past Pennsville Custard Stand. Right before it, we passed what can only be described as a crack den (a rundown motel with a few guys doing the crack dance), and honestly, we didn’t expect much more down the road.

Then suddenly, we see this beautiful little hole-in-the-wall shack that completely caught us off guard. Not only were the prices super reasonable, but the service was lightning fast — in and out like that.

It was clearly a regular local spot too. We saw a dad just casually enjoying his custard outside his truck, like this was his go-to ritual, while my wife and I enjoyed ours. It had this wholesome, small-town vibe that made the whole stop feel unexpectedly special.

If you’re ever passing through, don’t sleep on this place. Absolute gem.“

“the only place to go for ice cream .so many flavors to choose from. friendly staff and don't forget to get your sweet rewards card.(I'm on my third card and it's only August). I think I'm their best customer. JoAnn“

“we ride a few times a month and always stop for a mid bike ride treat. such a great place and the staff and owner are so kind 🥰“

“Stopped in for a treat after hanging up our scarecrow for the fall festival downtown. Best ice cream I've had in forever. My wife had the iced coffee and my child got a milkshake. Everything was phenomenal. Tried to take some chocolate cake home for dessert later but ended up eating half before I even left. So happy to have them here in Seaford and hope to be a loyal customer for many years.“

“My husband likes their water ice and my daughter likes their gelato. I like some of the delicious flavors they offer, especially the tangerine, which they dont have often enough! Would go back again but sometimes, it can be a bit pricey for a family of 4.“

“The cookies are ALWAYS delicious!!! This particular store is always packed with staff and customers. Although I have yet to be welcomed or greeted when I've come in this store, I can tell they are always busy. I wish the employees at this store would make more of an effort to be friendly, smile, and just be pleasant. If I felt as welcomed as the cookies taste, this could be a 10 star review.“
