Custard here is still too airy for me, but Custard Corner is the clear winner in the local debate vs Bob Jo's. The flavors here taste much less artificial, plus this location cannot be beat, especially if you want to go for a lovely walk with your ice cream in the nearby Elizabeth Park! It's gorgeous. This whole neighborhood is cute AF. Service was friendly and super quick. They offered real hard shell that had a good flavor. We ordered small twist custard cones and had the most delightful time wandering nearby with them. read more

Visiting Michigan for a wedding and found a little corner custard shop that you walk up to window and order. I got the cherry dip on a waffle cone and bf got the soft serve. First time having custard. It was creamy and rich and delicious. Could've used more of the dip, though. Bring the kids......and the adults. read more

This has quickly become our favorite spot for ice cream (sorry Dairy Queen). The custard is so rich and creamy, a small cup or cone is plenty. The weekly special flavors just mean you need to visit more frequently - but be advised, they do run out of those. Lemon and cherry were incredible! Never fear though, you can't go wrong with a simple a twist of chocolate and vanilla. read more

My favorite spot since moving! Maybe I'm seeking out comfort food..who knows and who cares..everyone wins with ice cream. The staff are a younger crowd but everyone is so friendly. I actually prefer soft serve so I get that every time. I order a flurry with cookie dough and snickers (a treat since DQ got rid of it) and I'm never disappointed. My partner gets the toasted coconut custard and it's wonderful. The price point is very decent and they definitely don't over charge, portions sizes are large even for the kids size. read more

Love this place! Located conveniently within walking distance of the beautiful Elizabeth Park. Custard Corner is the best I've found since my local frozen custard haunt in royal oak. They change up their flavors regularly, but don't fret, the basics are always on tap. Their toasted coconut is a huge favorite & I'm always a sucker for their vanilla chocolate twist. They also specialize in seasonal & holiday inspired blizzards. I urge anyone who likes custard, frozen yogurt or ice cream to stop in this summer and give them a try. I give 4 stars as their parking situation is not very good. 3 spaces available for a busy mom & pop establishment. read more

We also offer regular soft serve ice cream, hand- scoop flavors, flurries, shakes, floats, banana splits, slushies, smoothies, Vernors Boston coolers, turtle parfait, and so much more!

History

Established in 1980.

There have been a series of successful ice cream shops in this location since 1980. Our family purchased Custard Corner in early 2014, opening in April with help from the previous owner, her family, and employees. Our open summer season runs from mid- March until mid- October each year.
