Their custard seems smoother and creamier than others. The combo of the Italian ice and the custard (gelato) is phenomenal! It's not just custard and sundaes. They are open daily, with varying hours, and they also update their daily flavors. They offer unique items like Gelati, Concretes, and Blenders (Italian Ice blended with custard). This is a window walk-up establishment only. No indoor seating however they do have picnic tables and usually in the shade.

Went here for a summer bucket list stop! We’ve only had Italian ice from the grocery store. This was good stuff! Spoke with Justine, she told us all about everything and how it was made fresh daily. Wish we would have tried the custard or the custard and Italian ice combined. She let the boys sample several types until they settled in on an option. Check it out! We will be back and update the review on the custard!

This is a fun place to take the kids for a treat. The kids loved their Custard treats. And I really enjoyed the Coffee flavored custard. Got my wife the lemon Italian ice and I thought it was good, not as good as the ones I got from the street vendors when I was 7 years old, but that was Brooklyn, NY. And I haven't had that experience anywhere else. The treat or trunk event they put on over the week end was such a great time. Thank you, hope you have it again next year.

Stopped by here and glad we did. They were so kind and helped me find flavors with no artificial colors. Will definitely come back.
