Travelled over the 100 miles to get ice crème here :-). Whenever we are in town aim to stop by. Happening place so near to campus so at after dinner/evenings in warm weather expect some lines (either inside or in the drive thru) Service is fast, friendly mid-western and efficient. The topping list is huge. There is actually not hot fudge but cold, which is great as well. There are some tables out front and a larger number of parking spots on either side. Great old school wibe :-) read more

Jarling's Custard Cup was a great stop to get a sweet treat. An institution at the University of Illinois, the custard was super rich and creamy. Definitely worth the trip. I had the peanut butter fudge cup. It was yummy. The mix ins and toppings make it an even better experience. The seating outside is on benches around a table. This seating arrangement did my back no favors. But overall this is a recommended stop while in Champaign. read more

Very good custard at an iconic shop. The frozen custard base is closer to soft serve ice cream than most. It is just a little thick with a hint of the egg in the recipe. On the other hand, we've tried a variety of flavors -- vanilla, chocolate, strawberry -- and they tend to be milder than you might expect for ice cream. If you want something punchy and sweet, go for the "snowstorm" (toppings mix into the custard). The shop trades on its nostalgia. Service by the teenage staff is slow and the building looks like it has seen better days. But maybe that's the point: remember when you were young and the building was new? The service and ambience are either charming or disappointing, depending on whether the nostalgia hits. In any case, the shop is located kitty corner to a city park. A visit for custard is the right way to cap off a barbecue or trip to the playground. read more

Definitely the hype of CU, the line is always out the door on a nice day! Decided to splurge and the the supreme waffle basket which comes with 2 scoops (we got chocolate and strawberry), 1 topping (fudge), 1 nut (cashew), whipped cream and a cherry. The fudge as perfect and their signature! Honestly felt like you get more ice cream either in a cup vs waffle cone compared to the waffle basket. Next time I'll come back, I want to try the shakes! Seating is outdoors and at times hard to snag a spot when busy but hessel park accross the street! read more

We came in a cold Saturday afternoon. There was no line and was able to get my custard right away and the staff was friendlyI didn't see many flavors on their menu and ended up getting vanilla. I do agree with my fellow yelpers on their pricing. It's definitely on the expensive side. I recently had some custard in Wisconsin with more flavors and bigger portioning for a lot less than what I paid here. Regardless, it's still some damn delicious custard. read more

Its a pretty standard frozen custard/ice cream stand. No frills, but delicious! I seem to remember the menu being a little larger in the past, but they still have the classic treats. The only "downsides" is that there is nowhere to eat the custard inside anymore. There is plenty of outdoor seating, but that doesn't work in the winter. Then again, if I am buying frozen custard in the middle of winter, it must be good! Also, they don't post all their flavors. I asked the worker what they special flavor of the week was and she rattled off 10 additional flavors. Awesome, but you gotta put those on the menu! Either way, good fresh frozen custard is a rarity these days. I am glad to see this classic surviving. read more

Absolutely delicious. I was already so stuffed from lunch, but wanted to stop in before continuing my journey home so I said screw it and decided to grab some custard. Drive through was pretty quick so it was nice not having to get out of the car. First off, the mini is the perfect size. To be honest anything bigger than that is pretty extreme to me cause I was struggling to finish that Second, I tried the strawberry shortcake which was absolutely lovely. Highly recommend that one. All the flavors my friend got were good as well so doesn't seem like you can go wrong at all! read more

So.. I don't know what took me so long to try Jarling's until now, but I finally stopped by to see what's the hype. Did they meet my expectations? Yes! Their menu is super extensive with various toppings and ice cream combinations. I ended up getting their homemade fresh waffle cone sundae with one topping and ended up getting cookie dough bites. The waffle cone sundaes comes with nuts, whipped cream, and cherry on top, but I opted out of the whipped cream and cherry. I think the prices are pretty reasonable for the quality and taste of ice cream. They've tried their best to help people social distance, but it's a popular place so expect there will be lots of people without masks eating ice cream. read more

The service was very friendly and helpful. I got a cup of Snickers Parfait. It looks so beautiful, but is actually extremely sweet, even though I'm a dessert lover and a chocolate head. I would absolutely order some other regular ice creams like snowstorms next time. Btw, today is a rainy day, so nothing would be better than the activity of grabbing a cup of ice cream and enjoying it on the bench outside the store! read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. It's pretty close to happiness on earth. Their snowstorms are the best. Be warned, it melts really fast. But the texture is super light and doesn't give you that heavy feeling after you eat ice cream. My go to is their blueberry cobbler. It has blueberries and oatmeal crumbles in their vanilla custard which is absolutely AMAZING It's a great place which outdoor seating to chill with friends and to enjoy the summer weather. Whether you're a local or just here for the weekend, this place is worth prioritizing on your list of places to enjoy a delicious treat. read more

Woohoo! What a treat by UIUC! They feature a new custard flavor every week, and last week it was cake batter, although the sample I tried of it tasted like french vanilla. The custard texture is smooth and creamy, and not too sweet. Their menu houses a variety of frozen treats, from custard, to snowstorms, to floats, and cakes. I got the coffee oreo snowstorm, and it was delish! Don't underestimate the sizes! I got a 12oz, and it was more than I anticipated. The snowstorm wasn't as thick as a DQ blizzard, but it was light and creamy, easy to finish. They also have a drive thru! The building itself looks like a diner, bringing with it an old school charm. Jarling's you are darling. If you're looking for a cool treat in the humidity, think no more and come to Jarling's! read more

A great local joint for custard ice cream in Champaign, IL! They always have four custard flavors (vanilla, chocolate, lemon, and strawberry) plus one flavor of the week. I personally like vanilla when it comes to custard and soft serve. Custard was smooth and creamy. There are a bunch of high schoolers working there, so if you go on a busy day, say like the weekend, then be prepared for some frazzled high schoolers trying to get orders prepared. Other than that, this is a good joint for to enjoy custard ice cream with family and friends. read more

This is the place to go to enjoy delicious custard in the Champaign-Urbana area. Personally, I find the custard to be a bit on the sweet side and think that the toppings and mix-ins are really the secret to what makes this so addictive. However, you're really not going to find anything better in this area. The actual shop is somewhat small and can get quite busy during the summer months. While not the cheapest, prices are reasonable (and with prices of other frozen shoppes increasing, this is becoming more of a value). Parking isn't too bad and there's a generous amount of outdoor seating (which fills easily during the summer). Overall, if you're visiting Champaign -- this is worth a visit for the flavor and the experience. It's hard to pinpoint what exactly makes their product addictive, but it's hard to resist rich, creamy custard. read more

History

Established in 1983.

Custard Cup was first started in 1949 by George & Helen Potter at 2507 N. Vermilion St. in Danville, IL. They owned the business for 20 years & then decided they were ready to retire. The Potter's sold "The Cup" to the Wilmer & Dorotha Jarling in 1969. On April 28, 1983 Doug & Christy Jarling, who helped manage the Danville store for several years, opened Jarling's Custard Cup at 309 W. Kirby Ave. in Champaign. In 2016, a group of investors formed Alpha Custard Cup, LLC, which includes well-known former University of Illinois athletes & coaches, to acquire the iconic frozen dessert business. Alpha is led by Tom Siegel, an experienced entrepreneur, venture capitalist, & former University of Illinois two-sport walk-on athlete, who first sampled the Custard Cup product in the 1980s. The incredible investor group includes names that Illini fans will likely recognize such as Kurt Kittner, Tony Pashos, Ron Turner, & Bruce Weber, as well as the Sholem family & a few other individuals.

Kabocha Mochi ($4) - I like the filling, which is kabocha and shiroan. But the mochi outside is too sweet.

Mini Matcha Tart ($2.15) and Matcha Roll Cake Slice ($9.25) - tart is quite sweet. I preferred the roll cake

Inside of Black Sesame Mochi Cake ($4.25) - good! It's pretty sweet but has a strong black sesame flavor.

I have been coming here since I was a kid. SDB has thee best ice cream I have ever had. I also love…read morethe cute little moo-thru that they have added in recent years. I have to give a 4 star rating though because within the last year or so I noticed they have stopped filling the cup full to the top. I asked to have more ice cream added to my tornado and the girl said she couldn't fill it after I had eaten it and I hadn't eaten anything and had just picked it up from the counter. I let her know I hadn't eaten anything and I had just got it from another girl working there and she apologized and gave me a small cup of ice cream to add to the top to mix in myself. But it had happened multiple times since then and it's pretty frustrating when you are paying so much for a tornado and it isn't filled to the top like it used to be and also making the drive for it too. I also don't love asking them to fill it after getting it from the counter. It's awkward. Overall, I will continue to get ice cream from SDB because it truly is the best. Just wish they would fill the cup all the way up without having to ask. :) *The photos attached are before I had eaten anything from the cup.

In regards to service, I am so grateful for the willingness of SDB workers to answer questions about food allergies, and to accommodate my celiac disease! This place is SO cute! And the moo-mobile is even cuter!!! Please go here because I'm moving away and want to live vicariously through pics on other reviews

The price per ounce -the yogurt plus toppings- quickly adds up, meaning most folks pay $7.50-$9.00…read moreplus tip for a standard serving with a few toppings. Or, I did. These two servings. Maybe I eat more than most, but the cost really surprised me! Aside from that, the whole experience was great, loads of choices. Dairy-free option, too! Mango sorbet was awesome. I'd come here more often, but it's not in my budget. So it's only a special occasion visit for me. Store was clean. Plenty of seating. Not too crowded at all. And fab frozen yogurt!

This place has seen better days and you can tell it's been visited by many. While the seating and…read morefurniture look a little tired, it's still very colorful and fun, making for a spunky atmosphere. Read: our toddler loved this place! They offer the most selection of froyo flavors we've seen in Champaign-Urbana. There is also the option of getting a scooped version of the froyo onto a cone. Many toppings to choose from. You can even choose a color changing cup for your froyo for an additional $1. All of the spoons are color changing (again, major plus for our toddler). Docked two stars because the froyo itself is almost overly sweet. The consistency is a little icy for some flavors (strawberry) esp for soft serve/froyo and the taste could be better. It is, however, on par for taste at the other froyo/soft serve places in town. Bonus here at TCBy is they have more flavor options. While it's not terrible, it's just ok. It will satisfy your cravings and be loved by a toddler but if you're looking for Yogurtland quality or Pinkberry, this is not it. Service was great and the parking is easy to find. They have outdoor and indoor seating. The place is clean and I'm sure my toddler will want to come back soon!

At first, I thought it was a one-off. Surely I caught them at a bad time. Unfortunately, my family enjoys ice cream cake for their birthdays. This week, as I attempted to order a cake, a woman who claimed to be the owner coldly shut me down. Look, I get it if you're not in a position to make a cake. It's only a cake and truly a first-world problem. What I take exception to is the way this owner/employee (?) behaved. We live in an angry world. There is zero reason to add to the ugliness -- in an ice cream store, of all places. The family has been informed that we're moving on from Baskin Robbins (again, a first-world problem). There is simply no reason to purposefully expose ourselves to rude behavior. Somewhere along the way, I got the impression that this location is independently owned. What a terribly foolish way to build a business.
