The best little custard stand around! It's great, even on a chilly day. They have several tables that are covered, just off the parking lot. You order up at the counter and the menu of options is large. I've gotten the dirt sundae multiple times and I'm never disappointed. The custard is always great and they don't skimp on the toppings. The service is always very friendly, to both kids and adults alike. I love that they add a little face to the kids ice cream! Would definitely recommend. You really get quality and quantity for your dollar here.

Hot fudge sundae

I've been to custards tons of times but this time remembered to take picture of all our amazing sundaes.

We stopped here for the first time yesterday. We got to Custard's around 5:30 and I was happy to see that it wasn't super crowded. They have ample parking. They also have tables and chairs so you can sit outside and eat your ice cream. When we walked up we were greeted right away. The girl taking our order was very sweet and answered any questions we had. I decided on a small twist cone with rainbow sprinkles. My husband ordered a lime misty. My MIL ordered a small butter pecan cone. My husband also got an ice cream sandwich to go. The ice cream sandwiches are made by Good L'oven so I know they are all probably so good! Everything we tried was really good. Definitely hit the ice cream spot. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because... there is no custard... at a place called Custard's. That can be a little misleading, especially if you're coming to this place thinking you can get some custard. Other than that... very good. We will be back.

Banana & peanut butter soft serve

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM! My fiancé is a self-proclaimed ice cream connoisseur, so our first trip of 2020 was to check out Custard's First Stand. This is a locally owned family business and definitely did not disappoint! They had a good variety of frozen goods on their menu and great prices. The portions are very generous compared to large chain ice cream stands, and you definitely get more bang for your buck here. Their soft serve was to die for, and they switch up different featured flavors every week. This week was peanut butter and banana-- and let me tell you, our dogs LOVED the peanut butter soft serve. We will definitely be back to support this small business!

Omg! This steak hoagie is so good!!!!!

Custard's got it right. The first time I went there I ordered the Strawberry Cheescake Ice Cream, and it was incredibly good. I went back again for the Strawberry Shortcake, and it was very delicious as well. I recently tried the Fruity Pebble Glacier, and it was amazing! I thought that it would be a ice cream cone, but I was still thoroughly pleased with the large portion in a cup and great flavor! They also serve food! I ordered a Steak Hoagie with fried onions, mushrooms, green peppers, and mayo...hold the cheese! That is my usual spiel when I go to a place and order a steak hoagie. And it was so delicious and plenty of meat. The service was good. And I cannot wait to return. Everyone needs to check this place out! You will not be disappointed with the price point and taste!

Vanilla soft serve with sprinkles on a cake cone
Gabriela P.

Quick, convenient, and enough places to sit and enjoy. Got a soft serve with sprinkles on a cone for less than $3. Closed at 9 so we made it there just in time. Lots of options on ice cream flavors

Ah, Custard's. This was a staple in my childhood. I remember going here for lunch on the last day of school every year with my friends. In the summer, we'd stop for ice cream after a long day of swimming at Avonworth pool. I had forgotten about Custard's until I had to drive past every day on my way to work. It's still delicious, and the prices are amazing! It's so inexpensive. I don't think there is any bad ice cream here. Some personal favorites include the hot fudge sundae and the ice cream of the week flavors. The orange cream was one of my favorites for forever, and they used to do an amazing coffee ice cream too. A small is less than $2. What more could you want in life? The actual food is really good as well. I LOVE their footlong hot dogs with saurekraut or chili! The also have amazing Italian subs! I'm actually not sure if I like the food or the ice cream better. It's standard American fare, but it's good stuff. Again, the prices are amazing! The parking lot can get a little packed, but this is an old school ice cream stand. It's only open in the summers so we still have a while to wait to enjoy it's deliciousness!

Nice place to stop for a quick cone or sundae. Inexpensive and tasty - what else could you want in a soft serve ice cream stop?

Menu offerings were so vast, it took me a while to read through everything because it all sounded so good! They have a couple of rotating specials and different grades of matcha depending on caffeine levels and a weekly rotation of their soft serve. In addition to matcha lattes, they have shaved ice, soft serve floats, espresso + matcha combos, refreshers, and combos I never thought of but wanted to try. I love a yuzu drink so I tried their yuzu cool, a yuzu blended ice drink topped with their grade 1 matcha. It was amazing. The matcha quality was fantastic and you could really taste the difference. My friend tried one of spring menu offerings, a peach based latte and loved it. There's very limited seating inside so be aware. Street parking outside. I can't wait to return!!

I came on a weekend to get their soft serve. We got their ube x black sesame ice cream as their…read moreweekend special. The black sesame flavor was strong and present, but I think the ube flavor was lacking. The earl gray ice cream has a very strong floral aftertaste. Earl gray has that tea taste usually, but it was very overpowering. The jade fog latte was good as a matcha with a lavender cold form but for $8 as a matcha with cold foam is steep. There's only about 5 tables in the store, but sometimes some ppl come here to study. Street parking is free nearby.

I remember seeing the signs before Leona's opened up on Penn last summer, and I had googled them…read moresince I was new to the area. Since then, I've seen Leona's ice cream sandwiches at various supermarkets, but it's always been a tad on the pricey side! I would also consider myself an ice-cream aficionado but I can't say the same about the sandwich form! Fast forward a year and somehow I see a menu for Leona's ice cream sandwiches and they are the most luxurious combinations I had ever seen! I was under the impression that everything was dairy-free so I knew I had to finally stop by! We had dinner down the street and we absolutely had to stop by for dessert. Service was friendly from the moment we came in, and in addition to getting some very tasty samples I even learned the wallpaper was designed by the same woman who worked on the team art for the NFL Draft this year! Anyways, ice cream was delicious. There's a rotating list of flavors, and I happened to try the raspberry ripple, ube, and strawberry. They all happened to be dairy free, but I'm not sure that everything on the menu actually is. Everything is clearly labeled though! I wasn't a fan of the cookies that day so I ended up going with a scoop. Scoop size descriptions were also excellent! The mini is a golf ball, and the regular is a tennis ball. The strawberry was DELICIOUS and I would absolutely get it again, I also don't know how I could walk by in the future without stepping in!

With so many creative flavors, desserts, and toppings there is something for everyone here. On warm days, wait time can be up to an hour but I promise it's worth the wait. There are informational walls on Page's backstory as you get closer to the ordering wall and a huge menu to look at as you get closer as well. In additional to ice cream, they also serve quick American diner-esque bites, coffees, and drinks. The highlight is the ice cream but these options are not bad as well.

On a…read morebeautiful summer day, the lines can get very long and wrap around the shop, but that's part of the experience and a sign of how loved this place is. Luckily, we live relatively close, so we have plenty of chances to drive by and hope for a shorter line. My usual order is the Arctic Swirl with vanilla ice cream and M&M's mixed in, which comes in medium or large. It's simple, nostalgic, and always hits the spot. My husband's go-to is the Nancy B sundae, which is another favorite in our family. Now that my toddler is 2, she loves going to the "ice cream store," which makes Page's feel even more special for us. I love that it's a multi-generational business and hope they continue to have success for many years to come.
