When John's and Jimmy's close in the city, gotta go across the river and pay the toll to get the water ice fix. Honestly I'd go even when those other places are open! We stopped by after grabbing steaks at Gaetano's down the road. There's usually ample parking, although things can get crowded on weekend evenings. We were all able to find ~4 spots, and enjoyed our steaks and some gelati from the backs of our cars. Except in frigid conditions, this place is usually going to have a bit of a line, although not that long, and honestly, you probably need the time to figure out what combination of water ice and soft serve you'll be having this time. A small is NOT SMALL. It's definitely a big portion. Cash and Venmo are accepted here. read more

I don't usually go out of my way for ice cream stands. Most of the time, I'll either make it myself at home, which is a lot more work than people think, or just grab something from the grocery store and enjoy it on my own terms in a comfortable setting. Because of that, it takes a lot for an ice cream stand to really stand out to me. This place does exactly that. It's hands down the best ice cream stand I've been to in my life. The environment is clean, well-kept, and genuinely family-friendly without feeling chaotic or messy. You can tell it's a spot that families return to, and that says a lot. The experience as a whole is what makes it special. It's welcoming, easygoing, and a great place to stop whether you're with kids or just looking for a relaxed dessert outing. It's not something I do often, but this location is absolutely worth going to at least once. A solid five-star experience and a must-see for its family-friendly atmosphere alone. read more

The Icecream here is amazing. The service has gotten so fast it's hard to believe this is the maple shade custard stand. Parking is a little tough but worth the hassle. Love the old school feel here. read more

First of all, I can't believe they can get that much soft serve on a cone. I ordered a large and it was by far the tallest cone I've ever had. I asked for it dipped in chocolate. I was amazed they could effectively dip a cone that tall. It held up perfectly. And then I couldn't believe how thick the coating was and how chocolatey it tasted. It legitimately tasted like Hersheys to me. And the ice cream itself was as good as any soft serve I've had. It might not be hyperbole to call this the best ice cream cone ever. It was worth the long line. read more

It's always packed with people. It's been like that for decades. It's my favorite for custard and etc. I always try to bring the younger family so that they can enjoy. Plenty of parking but can get full at times. Clean parking lot. It's a 5/5. read more

This custard stand is so vintage Americana. There is a parking lot next to it, although there are no lines so it's a bit of a free-for-all. Pull in with some caution. You approach the window and order, and they have so many options. Milk shakes, sundaes, cones, frozen coffee.... So many delicious cold treats! There are places to sit around the lot, but not too many so you may want to prepare yourself to go. The service was efficient and quick, and the three lines moved quickly. The ambiance will make you feel like you're in an Archie comic! The ice cream is smooth and rich. I had a milkshake that was so refreshing, and although there was some melting in the drive it was really rather minor. read more

A small custard stand, but the custard is so nice and soft. Very tasty! Also, tried the strawberry/pineapple dole whip which was really good too (fyi it is not made the same way as the dole whip Disney makes). Will be dreaming of going there again someday (hopefully when it gets warmer out)! But I will say that I am really happy it can stay open through the winter too. :) I wish there were some tables to sit at, but since their space is limited it is more like a grab and go type place. read more

Maple Shade Custard Stand - Vanilla custard with rainbow sprinkles and chocolate custard with chocolate sprinkles - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Maple Shade, New Jersey

I love the Maple Shade Custard Hut! They have great flurries with over 15-20 flavors and very reasonable prices! The employees are very friendly and the line moves very fast as well. It is cash only, but they do have an ATM on site. The parking lot gets very crowded and is somewhat of a pain to get in and out of, but its worth it! read more

Came in the winter and they were open . It was nice to have a hometown treat during the off season.

Simply the best. They're open all year and have many options for treats. If you are in the area, be sure to stop by.

Great custard, really cheap for what you get, and friendly staff. Favorite ice cream spot in the Philly area!

This cute ice cream stand is situated in an intersection with minimal parking. The place only takes cash which is a bummer since nowadays cash isn't always carried. As for the frozen custard, it's pretty good but it is thicker than traditional ice cream. read more

Best ice cream in south Jersey! (Honestly maybe beyond south Jersey, I wouldn't really know) LOVE YOU GUYS!

My favorite local custard stand! It's a SJ staple and the perfect place for a summer treat. I love that they have orange and vanilla twist in addition to their classic chocolate and vanilla. It can get busy but there's a parking lot off to the side and some street parking as well. Cash only but they have an ATM. read more

Waited in a very long line starting at 9:30. At 10 pm on the dot the turned all the lights off and left us standing in the dark. About 25 people. Used to like this place but never again. Abhorrent customer service. Plan on a very long, slow wait with no communication if they are not going to serve you. They shut the window in your face! read more

What a fabulous slice of Americana! Bring cash and a sense of humor to this joyful place. After being stunned by how quickly orders fly out despite the endlessly long line on a Wednesday(!?) night, it's worth carving a little time out of your day to sit in the parking lot and relax. read more

I used to love coming here as a kid and hadn't been back in years! Of course it had to be one of my first stops after moving back to the area and I'm please to say nothing has changed! This is the best ice cream ever! It's always packed but it's sooo worth the weight! I've always loved the Reese's flurry but they have so many other amazing things too! read more

Love this place it's so good and is an amazing spot, recommend this place. Amazing customer service and large portions.

I'm trying to pass a law that states "If you drive thru Maple Shade, you must buy some ice cream at the custard stand". It's the best of all time...in my humble opinion. read more

I wish yelp could give me a zero star option but it doesn't. In this case I would use it. I went to the Maple Shade Custard Stand on 11/15/23 and was treated poorly. The lady working was extremely rude, and if that wasn't enough I found hair in my ice cream half way through. It made me feel sick the rest of the day. I will definitely NOT be returning!!! I'll stick to Ben and Jerry's. read more

A south Jersey staple. The best ice cream around, specifically speaking their soft serve. Just wish they had vegan soft serve! I used to go all the time but now that I'm vegan I can't have it anymore. I miss it!! read more

I've been going to the Custard Stand for 10+ years and have never had a problem. I went today and I was next in line and 10 pm hit and they closed the last window in everyone's was and there was a line of at least 20 people. All she had to say was a simple, this is our last customer for the night guys i'm sorry. Not only that but it was past 10 and the open sign is still on and they were clearly not taking anyone else and all the workers had an attitude shaking there head and you could read their body language they all had poor customer service. I'm truly disappointed I miss all the girls that used to work there with an upbeat attitude and amazing customer service. read more

Wow everyone here was right, this was the BEST soft serve ice cream I've ever had. First time here and it was amazing as expected from all the hype here haha. Extremely creamy and smooth and not too sweet. Definitely would come back. The place is pretty packed (Friday at 9 pm) and just as a note, this place is cash only! read more

Maple Shade Custard Stand - Chocolate/vanilla custard with jimmies - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Maple Shade, New Jersey

We are new to the area and were so excited to try this South Jersey institution. It was quite busy, but we had no problem waiting. They handled COVID precautions well and swiftly prepared our order. We both had vanilla soft serve (me in a cone and my husband in a cup) and it was delicious and generously portioned. They even had pup cups for our dog who was THRILLED. There are a few benches, but we just popped our trunk and sat in it together in the parking lot. Worth the visit and the time out! read more

Best local icecream spot! I love the local old neighborhood feel of this place. I wouldn't change a thing.

Overrated. Do I need to say anything else about this. Lines are too long .service is terrible read more

This is THE place to go for ice cream. Classic American small-town feel in Maple Shade, NJ. Their soft serve is so creamy, thick, fluffy, and delicious. This is the perfect spot for an afternoon treat- they have benches to sit- or a post-dinner dessert. Just be prepared for long lines because it's such a hot spot! Also be aware they only accept cash. Enjoy!! read more

Local custard sta d, delicious ice cream. One of the best, if not the Best, in all of South Jersey. Ope year round and operated by college students trying to pay for college. Highly recommended read more

So happy to have a great winter option for ice cream!!! The custard was delicious and very well priced

I get the milkshakes from here and I really enjoy them :) I come here with my friends a lot

I've been going here for 40 years!!!! Best ice cream on the east coast! Now my grandkids go! Just the best

Boy was I spoiled when I lived in Moorestown. I used to come here once a week and now it's few and far between. If a place is crowded throughout the winter, that's a sign. Not of insanity but of something being done correctly. Without fail I usually get a Chocolate Milkshake or a soft serve cone. Milkshakes usually run you about $4. If you would like an Extra Thick Milkshake it'll run you an additional $1. For a Cone, anywhere from $2-$4. Those prices range from Cone, Cup or Waffle Cone or a Bowl. The list of desserts goes on from Flurries, Sundaes, Sodas and Floats. By the way, they use Non-Fat Ice Cream. Don't feel guilty. Eat as much as your heart desires. read more

This place is great! It is cash-only, so just be aware of that. The custard is amazing, and service is very friendly. I didn't try their water ice, but they had a great variety of flavors too. There isn't any indoor space for seating, but there are some benches outside if the weather is nice. Would definitely come back! read more

Great soft serve. Service is always friendly but parking is not good. Busy in the summer.

There are so many great things about the custard stand- but one of my absolute favorite things is that it is open all year round. Whenever you are in the mood for ice cream, even if there is snow on the ground, this place is open. I love everything here and my go-to is always a flurry with oreos. It's a little bit big, but it is worth every bite. The prices are reasonable and the employees are always really friendly. The only annoying thing about this place is that it is cash only. However, there is an ATM right next to it. read more

They seem to always have good stuff, it's very popular and tends to be very busy, it's convenient because it's walking distance and although they don't accept cards they have a ATM right in the parking area. I would definitely recommend and will continue to visit them throughout life. It is not a "dine" in location, just pick up and go! Love it. read more

Nostalgic. This place has been around forever. Typical soft serve and water ice but prices are great. Cash only. My favorite treat is a twist in a cone with rainbow sprinkles. read more
