Delicious (vegan) donuts sold alongside awesome frozen custard. We had the special, a banana pudding custard, which was one of the best ice cream/custards I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to go back.Parking: Parking in the lot across the street is free!

Consistently delicious, outstanding customer service and high quality small family business. It's the heart of Del Ray and likely a staple for generations of residents and visitors alike. Their frozen custard is terrific and while I haven't had room to attempt their baked goods - they look equally tempting!

Love this place! Their custard is fabulous with a different special flavor each day. They have wonderful sorbets as well as some bakery items and don't forget to grab a puppy pop for your dog!

The Dairy Godmother has some really good non-dairy options! So refreshing and the flavors actually taste like what their description is. Highly recommend.

My daughters and I have always loved this place. A perennial five stars. I recently discovered the Mozambique custard flavor: vanilla blended with cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg. Fantastic! A suggestion: it might be renamed Zanzibar, the finest of the spice islands!

My favorite place to get frozen custard in the neighborhood! Such a cute name, too. I've been meaning to try their sorbets, which have a creative variety of flavors.

I stopped by today randomly after grabbing coffee next door. The creme brulee doughnut was amazing and so was the apple fritter I definitely will be stopping by again!

This place has unexpected flavors. We had the champagne strawberry sorbet which was refreshing. The custard is a must try.

What a great little ice cream shop! I was working in DelRay and took my "boys" for ice cream. I was so excited to find that not only were they very reasonably priced, but they had tons of options for non-dairy as well! I also love the fact that they have an entire case full of ice cream for your doggy companions! (Angus likes the pumpkin) The shop is small and quiet, it has limited indoor seating. They also serve a variety of donuts and baked goods. I bought some lavender things that are delightful! I am happy to have stumbled upon them and will definitely be back in the future when I'm working in the area!

This place was good and the ice cream and service was excellent too. It's a small shop with not a lot of room inside but the ice creamy was very good and I enjoyed a vanilla and cinnamon (something I don't remember the name ), and I think that one just overpowered the vanilla scoop. I only gave it four stars because of the lack of indoor seating.
