Very tasty custard, have some interesting flavor combinations available that I'd like to try next time.
Delicious custard.
Cute local spot! Always great service and yummy custard. Small town ice cream stand feel :)
The ice cream was ok not great
We’ve come here a number of times and recommend this place to all our friends. They typically have chocolate, cookies and cream, and a third rotating flavor. The cookies and cream is by far our favorite. The wait is often less than 5 minutes and food comes out right away. Our most recent order of a regular waffle cone and a regular Sunday was just over $13 with tip.
Decent custard, but it’s not worth going out of your way. Staff seemed nice and prices were reasonable.
So good definitely a place to stop for a sweet treat.
Their Vanilla highkey tastes like Cool-Whip so I recommend getting chocolate, a sorbet or one of their special flavors they rotate around.

Last time I got cotton candy flavor which was mint green?? No hate but kinda funny and tasted good.
This is my go-to when I'm hot and need to chill down. The young ladies are always polite, and the service is always quick. I always get a banana split with vanilla only and hot fudge.
Best custard best price best vibes best service

It was 100 degrees in the shade today -- you know that outdoorsy sauna feeling even your dri-weave shirt has trouble with moisture wicking? Yeah, it was that day. I cut my walkable errands short and searched for ice cream to cool off. I see there's a Custard Shake nearby with rave reviews so I checked it out. THE APPROACH: It is definitely the size of a shack meaning you are standing outside at a walk- up window to place your order. Once you pay, you pick up your order at the second window. The staff are super friendly and they all smile at you. THE MENU: The beauty of this creamery is they may not offer tons of flavors, however, they offer many ways to enjoy them. They have ice cream, sorbet, floats, shakes, etc. I ordered a milkshake with chocolate drizzle and no whip cream -- great treat while walking in the heat! The shake was a nice size, reasonably priced, and soooo delish!! The milkshake was the right consistency and was made with quality ingredients. Another perk to this type of facility is you get to see some cool cars parked curbside. Notice how my milkshake appeared next to a sexy ride -- this screams Summer. ONLY KNOCK: Depending on the weather, the wait will feel longer than it really is. On a day when it is 100+ degrees outdoors, you are roasting while waiting. Even their tables with umbrellas are in direct sun so forget about sitting in shade. On days when there is nicer weather, their outdoor tables are a terrific place to hang with family, friends, or pets. Since many folks drive here, you can always sit in your car until your order is ready.
I’ve been going here for 30 years. It’s the best.
Very good brownie sundae!
Cookies and cream is very good. It was delicious. I ate so much before I remembered to take a picture. It’s a hidden gem in Alexandria.
Delicious and perfect flavors . I really enjoyed my banana split .. thanks @Custard Shack
