About Custard Shack

Custard Shack is a hidden gem serving delicious custard and homemade treats. The banana splits and homemade ice cream cookies are a must-try. This casual, outdoor spot is run by friendly high school students who do a great job. Customers enjoy unique flavors like peanut butter banana, pineapple sorbet, lemon sorbet, and the rotating selection of flavors such as cookies and cream, chocolate, and cotton candy. The texture of the custard and sorbets is phenomenal, with a perfect balance of sweet flavors. Be prepared for a wait on nice days, but it's worth it. Visitors can grab a treat and enjoy the nearby Mt. Vernon trail or pair it with a meal from the adjacent pizza place. The staff is delightful, and the service is excellent, making it a popular place for families or friends. Vegetarian options include custard and vegan sherbet. Many customers recommend the cookies and cream flavor, and the banana split with vanilla and hot fudge remains a favorite for those looking to cool down or satisfy a sweet tooth.

It’s a treat to stop at Custer Shack after a long walk at Dyke marsh. The custard is amazing

Concretes weren’t on the menu but the friendliest staff offered to make me a shake without the milk. Great business - and BEST concrete ever!!! This was my first time here - I’ll be a regular!!
