    Moonbeam yum
    Sam A.

    Moonbeam was cotton candy base with chocolate chips and Oreo pieces. Not sure whose idea it was - but it's pure brilliance. Love me some custard. About $25 for ice cream and tip here for 3. I always check for the flavor of the day. Must live custard. If you don't know what custard is you must try custard. Custard is the best. Yum yum yum custard. Big fan here... of custard.

    Abbotts is one of my favorite ice cream shops in Clemmons and it's a perfect place to get a summer treat. I love that they offer seasonal flavors. My go to order from here is always chocolate in a waffle cone bowl, literally the best!! The service here is always great. If you haven't been here yet I highly recommend it!!

    The perfect setting for a nice afternoon with the sweet savory of specialty ice cream/custard. I ordered the Heavenly Snickers Sundae and it was delicious except for the limited snickers mix. The staff was not friendly but it didn't bother me.

    How have I never had Abbotts? Went for a sweet treat after lunch this past Friday and I got the chocolate almond in a milkshake. I love the varieties they offer and can't wait to go back and try more.

    A great place to go for a sweet and cold treat to beat the summer heat. We stopped in after a visit to Cugino Forno next door to round out the evening. The staff was friendly and quick and the frozen custard was excellent, I decided rather than eat I wanted mine as a milkshake and for $5.99 it was a great treat. I recommend it if you are here like me to get pizza or just want something sweet and delicious.

    The custard here is absolutely delicious. So much so that I won't penalize them for employing this horrible new trend in seating, which is metal chairs with strange backs that are not meant for any human being to enjoy. Nothing says "eat your ice cream and get out" like a metal chair. Avoiding a rant here, indeed, the frozen custard made here is decisively tasty. There are several varieties that are available pretty much all the time, and then a special menu that rotates based on the whim of their employees. They also have custard cakes, pies, and other goodies to go, as well as pints and quarts of their own flavors packaged and ready. I went with the chocolate cookie dough custard, and this was definitely not a bad decision at all. The custard was creamy, had a deep chocolate flavor, and then those chunks of doughy goodness sprinkled liberally throughout to provide a texture change and flavor pop. I was glad I got the larger size, as I scraping the cup at the end trying to get every last tasty bit. You have a lot of choices for good dessert in Clemmons, but this is one of the best you can make. Head to Abbott's, especially after you have some pizza next door!

    Hot caramel Sunday

    Wife had a disastrous manicure/pedicure appointment. So made it up with a little frozen custard. Hats off to the two young people working there. Very friendly and took the time to explain everything to us. Very clean and organized. I had a vanilla milkshake with Carmel, just the test I do at each new ice cream place. Wife had a hot Carmel Sunday. Yes we will be back. Thank you Abbotts for helping reverse the bad afternoon.

    We were looking for ice cream and stumbled here instead, which did not disappoint! Really enjoyed the seasonal flavors of pumpkin roll and apple betty and they gave a really reasonable amount for a small (two flavors possible). Three people in our party ordered the Oreo wheels (ice cream cookie) and enjoyed them for the most part. One felt like the Oreo over powered their pumpkin flavor of the filling and one felt like they would have rather had a chocolate chip cookie for their outside. Staff seemed helpful and it was pretty busy, which is always a good sign. Would recommend and go back!

    Choices.

    I'm a native of Rochester, New York, but I have in-laws in the Carolinas. I had heard they have an Abbott's in the region, but I never knew exactly where. Now I do, and I am glad I looked it up. It is in every way an Abbott's like you find in New York. It brought back fond memories. We went twice while we were in the area. Excellent service. Excellent custard. They even have white hots in the freezer! Still the best "ice cream" you can get, and I live near Graeter's Ice Cream. IFKYK. I was in the area for a sad/depressing reason. Having some Abbott's made it better. Thanks, and thanks for making my childhood great, too. If you have never had frozen custard, drop whatever it is you are doing and get some! Abbott's is truly the best. Even my in-laws agreed with that.

    Stopped in today to try this place. Staff was extremely friendly and explained how things work since this was our first time. The young teenage girl (forgot name) was extra helpful and observed her staying busy cleaning when not making orders. Recommend!

    Making fresh waffle cones as we speak!
    Lori C.

    I'm not a huge ice cream fan, but frozen custard is another story. There's just something about the rich creamy texture that draws me in every time. Clemmons is soon becoming a dessert destination. With Ketchie Creek, Ava's Cupcakes and Krispy Kreme grabbing the doughnut/pastry and cake lovers crowd Dairy-O and now Abbott's can rest easy wrangling those craving something cold and creamy. I ventured into Abbott's with my son to try them out. The first thing that hit me after walking in what the delicious smell of the fresh waffle cones being made. Is there any better smell than that? Yum! It's awesome to see a place that makes them fresh. A warm greeting by the people behind the counter where they were making the waffle cones welcomed us into the store. Friendly faces all around. The menu had plenty of options to choose from. I opted for the smallest portion because we had just finished dinner at Dairy-O across the parking lot. I always get vanilla to start because it's my go-to flavor for first visits. If they can do vanilla well then I go for a different flavor on another visit. My vanilla was good. Not amazing like I've had at other places, but tasty. I'm not wowed like I'd hoped. However, the service was friendly and quick and there was still those delicious freshly made waffle cones that were calling out to me. My son and I settled into a seat at the bar in front of the waffle cone area. My son ordered coffee flavor. He loved his and said it was the most concentrated coffee flavor he'd ever tasted. He would definitely order that flavor again. As we sat at the counter, I casually asked the gentleman making the waffle cones how he managed not to eat every fresh one that came out. He promptly handed me a hot from the iron waffle cone! Oh this made my day!! I of course shared it with my son, but it was the best cone I'd ever had. Soft and warm, and a slightly crispy crust. As it cooled, of course it got more firm but it was SO good! As for value, I did feel it was a little overpriced for what you get. I know quality ingredients aren't cheap and neither is the time it takes to turn those ingredients into a quality product, but my son would have liked a bit of a larger portion since he ordered a larger size than I did. I can't speak for any of the other specialty items since I didn't order any. Abbott's is a solid 4 stars in my book for the custard. The service and waffle cones bumped it up to 5 for me though. I'm glad to have a frozen custard place within an easy drive from Winston.

    I really wanted an ice cream cake for my birthday. I wanted something fresh and not from the grocery store. I was impressed with my experience. The woman I spoke with was really nice and explained all the options. They also let us sample some of the custard. They make pies that looked amazing. I went with a more traditional cake which is vanilla, chocolate, and cookie crunch. They were sweet and wrote on it for me. My son and I loved the custard cake.

    This is a welcomed addition to all of the new places popping up in Clemmons! I stop in here on a whim often, it always satisfies my craving. I love how it's creamier than ice cream. They always have great specials and plenty of options. Nice little patio area out front.

Inside basically has a long wall with stools where no family will sit. They have an awkward corner table that doesn't look like you would want to sit at it either. They have 2 employees whose job it is to keep yogurt full and the mixings. Bill was $23.99 and was surprised to get just $1.01 back as change. I threw it in the tip bucket and felt bad as I looked at these 2 teenage girls working. I felt bad until we went to find a place to eat our yogurt. The tables outside are filthy and covered with weeks worth of pollen. The beach chairs have dried drips of icecream and nastiness all over all of them. The employees cannot be bothered to go outside and wipe anything down. Frozen yogurt doesn't travel well. You want yo sit and enjoy it when you are with your family. You won't find that experience at this location. I must not be the only one that feels this way - hardly any customers. My suggestion is that you require your employees - you have more then1 - go outside and wipe your chairs and tables off. I would look at the configuration of seating inside and do better. Sweet frogs has been around a while - but there are better options in same plaza and road. Minimum you could do is have clean seating. It's evident your seating outside may only get cleaned with rain. Just my thoughts - yogurt was fine but won't be back.

I have been to the Lewisville Clemmons Road spot several years ago, and loved the ice cream there. I have not had a banana spilt from Sam's so I decided I would try that. I wanted to compare it with the one I recently had at TJ's Deli. This was a very nice split - 3 scoops of ice cream and all the usual toppings. Everything tasted fresh, there were multiple layers of flavor, the texture added to the total enjoyment - it all came together beautifully! I thought this split was comparable to TJ's, though TJ's was a bit cheaper. I would definitely recommend this split, though it is a bit wasted on me due to the size, and obviously it is not a savable item, needs to be shared!
