Quality does not cost. It pays every time and Maple Shade custard is the best on the planet !

THE ABSOLUTE BEST FROZEN DESSERT IN SOUTH JERSEY! Whenever I'm home, I HAVE to go here! True dedication is how I've gone here even in the fall when it's cold, because I'm craving their custard. My go to is the vanilla custard with strawberries. Also, if you have a healthy appetite, I highly recommend the banana split sundae! It's delicious. read more

Great ice cream stand they don't have hard ice cream they have custard and it is really good if you don't like ice cream they also have pretzels and popcorn. read more

Best ice cream hands down. Get the flurry with Reese's, you won't be disappointed. Always good service!

This place has the best fresh ice cream. I love the cherry sherbet. I have been coming here for over 40 plus years. I remember coming here as a child during the summers. Banana splits are good as well. Never had anything bad. read more

Absolutely love it, quick and easy place to satisfy an ice cream craving, could definitely benefit from a modern payment system of accepting credit cards. read more

I'm going to be THAT reviewer. "I worked at an ice cream store all through high school so I know what I'm talking about and you should absolutely listen to me." Hate to be a know it all, but after running one for three years, I know good, bad, ugly. This is very, very good. The boy, Baby C., has really enjoyed vanilla yogurt (frozen or Greek), the other night was no exception, but I wanted soft serve gotdamnit The nonfat yogurt I had in the freezer was NOT acceptable. My saint of a hubs, JR C., took me here because we noticed it was still open in the winter on the way to Charlie Brown's the other night (the boy *also* enjoys steak more than me, apparently). We pull up, brightly lit, lots of stuff on the windows showing off what they have, I walk around the front and there are two smiling young ladies that say "Hi!" through the window. I notice they have blizzards or frosties or flurries or whatever the eff you call them these days - and for a small it was only - $3.25? Something like that? I wanted...NAY, NEEDED, a vanilla yogurt Blizz/Fros/Flurr with BUTTERFINGER so I order it and hubs gets one with peanut butter cup. She smiles politely and says "okay!" and "Oh, I like your purse!"...I love my purse too so I preened a little. Fellas/Ladies, if your lady is happy with her purse, you will be happy with your life. As she turns away from window my inspection commences, I attempt to subtly stick my head in the window for a better look...the ice cream store I was raised in had a cardinal rule: if you don't have anything to do, CLEAN. It was a chilly January night and they were dead...lemme see how clean this place it. Dude, spotless. Every counter top was clean, all the toppings were filled up, the machines were wiped down with clean rags so were sporting that nice silvery sheen. If it's a crazy Friday night in July at 9:00 p.m., things are going to get grimy and is most definitely understandable, but the fact that their standard is clearly "spic and span" when the workload is manageable is something I most definitely appreciate. So, service - great. Facility, clean - great. Yogurt? GOOD LAWD. THIS WAS LIKE VANILLA AWESOME WITH BUTTERFINGER. This is easily the best tasting non-fat yogurt I have ever had. The total for two generous Blizz/Fros/Flurrs was $6 and change. I'm not a sweets person but with the little guy growing in here, I see MSCS in my future should I get the yen soon. Snaps to you guys, I want to send the owner a nice card. read more

It's about time that I give these guys a shout-out (not that they necessarily need it with their solid five star average), but just like many others, I am a satisfied customer that wanted to share my positive experience. I've been here a handful of times now since a couple friends of mine recently moved close by. So one night we found ourselves bored and wanting ice cream. I turned to Yelp since I am a little unfamiliar with the Maple Shade area and this place popped up. We made our way here to find a glowing neon light that looked as though it has been a staple of town for some time. We ordered a few of their ice creams blended with candy concoctions. You know the type. They go by different names everywhere but are all essentially the same thing. My "small," and I type it like that because it was a lot more than small, chocolate custard with Butterfinger was HUGE and SOOO cheap. Like only $2.50 or something like that. Either way, I just remember thinking that it was a good bang for my buck. The girls behind the counter were extremely nice and very patient with us (my one friend isn't exactly quick when ordering, you know who you are!) After consuming ice cream for what felt like an hour, we finally finished and felt like we should've run a mile or 5. So if you come here with a small appetite for something sweet, be sure to share a small with someone else. So be sure to pay them a visit if you are in the area and have a hankering for soft serve. There is no doubt that they will more than satisfy your crave! read more

When I say I go here at least 5 times a week... I'm as serious as a Russian ice skater performing in the Moscow Olympics. Once you've had this ice cream, you simply learn not to settle for anything else. They offer a nonfat ice cream that will turn your world upside- down. I HIGHLY recommend getting a flurry, specifically, with nonfat twist ice cream and Swedish fish! Mmmmm! Be sure to plan accordingly in regards to the crowds you may come across on a summer evening... it can get pretty densely populated. Oh and this is probably one of the only ice cream stands I know of that is open ALL YEAR 'ROUND! read more

Best custard you can get. .wow..definitely .!..I love the custard...and the girls are hot...nice people in the area...as far as custard goes. .it's high quality ingredients. .yes..! read more

It's a rarity for this area: an ice cream or custard stand which is open when the weather gets cold. I don't understand the trend since ice cream is pretty much awesome any time, but it makes the choices easier when limited to places that are actually open. However, this place would get repeat visits from us even during the summer months. A huge selection of ice cream and soft serve custard at reasonable prices awaits! Lots of things for the kids and they even made a special chocolate malted for me using fat free ice cream and 2% milk that still managed to be creamy and chocolaty while still being not so bad for my waistline. I do wish that they accepted credit cards, though the ATM right outside mitigated that somewhat. But the service was friendly and fast and the ice cream was tasty for all! What more do you want? read more

Omg this place is amazing!! Great prices great custard and water ice!!! Definitely a place to try out!! Sometimes the line does get long but they do make it move fast. read more

If you want ice cream from an old school ice cream and Custard Stand in South Jersey, this is the best place to be. The staff are friendly and professional, and they serve wonderful ice cream. Moreover if you go in the evening they're sure to be a couple dozen people together standing around having a nice time. The atmosphere is perfect. If you don't want to spend $20 and cross the Benjamin Franklin Bridge for the Franklin Fountain (which is a fantastic experience but not an everyday experience) this is the place to come with your family and friends. Enjoy. read more

The best in the area. The staff is friendly and prices are reasonable. Much better than Rita's and all other local ice cream and water ice places. read more

I decided it was time for my daughter to have her very first ice cream cone and decided it should be here.(because of it's close proximity to me) parking is super tight but the turn around it super fast so you may have to wait for someone to pull out of their parking but it may just be a few minutes. Luckily for us, as we were pulling in someone was pulling out. There will always be lines after dinner time so don't come if you are in a rush. It is cash only, however there is an ATM on-site. The employees were super friendly and fast. A perfect way to spend a summer evening with the family. My suggestions are they need to have napkins more readily available as well as garbage cans. read more

Stop by a ice cream stand. super creamy and milky, super delicious. Ordered a strawberry sundaes. the sauce seemed to be cooked freshly. over expectation. Must stop by places if you will via this area. read more

My tax attorney (Gabriella I.) tells me this place is a local tradition. She's been hitting The Stand since she was a little tax write-off. You don't have to be a skilled wilderness tracker to see that Maple Shaders have been walking, riding, and cruising in cars to this place for decades. Sniff the air: a deep inhale of that residual idling-car-exhaust and you will know that this place is time-tested and cruiser-approved. Water ice. It's great quality. Not too icy, not too syrupy. Just right. Note, it's different from true-Philadelphia style water ice. This is Jersey, folks, so the water ice is perfectly slushy. My favorite is the sugar-free cherry. Frozen custard. Always smooth and thick. They feature NONFAT ICE CREAM in vanilla, chocolate, and maybe strawberry. That's the main attraction. Even if you're lactose intolerant, like my tax attorney, you can eat the nonfat ice cream. Look, don't bore me with scientific questions of how that's possible. It just is, okay? Sometimes long lines, but always happy people. They have a bench or two on which to eat the sweets. Mostly, you stand. And for some reason that I, a car-culture-Californian, cannot understand, people love best sitting in idling cars while (as my friend Will M. says) $4.25 drains from their tailpipes. I don't get it. read more

This is the best ice cream stand in town. And they don't only serve ice cream! They are opened all year round and always are packed because how good it is. They whip up the ice cream within a minute for all your guests and it is always delicious. I have been going here since I was a kid and it has always been my favorite. The employees are also the best. read more

Really, really, really good custard. Rich, creamy and very flavorful. They only offer vanilla and chocolate, but they have plenty of mix-ins to jazz it up. Highly recommended. read more

Maple Shade Custard Stand - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Maple Shade, New Jersey

The best around. Generous portions. Great soft serve. Always have friendly staff working. Good hours and perfect location.

Stopped by to try this place with all the glowing reviews! The soft serve is so creamy and delicious. It has a perfect texture. It's not too sweet and not overly flavored like vanilla or chocolate. They also have homemade water ice. I had a Reese's Pieces Sunday and it was awesome. However, after tasting the quality of the soft serve, I think next time is just get a cone with some vanilla custard and rainbow sprinkles! For my sundae and my fiancé's flurry it cost around $8! I thought the prices were very reasonable. We will definitely return! read more

Best custard around according to my spouse. I prefer the water ice. Floats are very good as well. Friendly staff. read more

Maple Shade Custard Stand - Vanilla ice cream with JIMMIES not sprinkles. Fight me... - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Maple Shade, New Jersey

By far the best soft ice cream in the area. They also have a non fat custard that you honestly cant tell the difference from the regular custard. Everything tastes great here from cones to sundae's to shakes. No reason to go anywhere else. read more

Still amazing as always. The Oreo Flurry is my new obsession! Also, I believe they are open until 11pm during the summer or hotter days. They can get really busy at night! read more

Just alright. If your in the mood for soft serve, then this is the place for you. However, if your looking for hard ice cream, don't bother coming here cause this isn't the place for you since they don't sell it. I really enjoy the location, and they have a good menu that'll help you get your money's worth. But the day I'm in the mood for soft serve (which I rarely ever am), then I'll stop by here. read more

The Custard Stand has THE BEST soft serve ice cream. It's thick and creamy and delicious. And there are tons of toppings to choose from. I usually keep it pretty simple though: twist in a cake cone with chocolate chips. And best of all, it's open year round! read more

Always fun to go here. You get plenty of deliciousness for their prices. Wish the parking was larger but otherwise a great place to get ice cream. I am a sucker for soft serve and theirs is awesome read more

One spring night I was incredibly stir crazy at 10 pm. Since there is nothing to do in this area after 10 pm except go to trashy jersey bars, we went exploring. Located in a random neighborhood area, I never knew this existed even though I've lived in South Jersey for 8 years. Thankfully yelp reviewers clued me in to this spot, which was (Amazingly) open til 11 pm! We pulled in and the retro drive-in sign and asymmetrical angled building called to me like a beacon in the night! I Got a flurry with chocolate custard and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. The boyfriend got a Pepsi float. Both were good, but they were too big and too sweet for either of us to finish them. We didn't mind since the prices were really low. I wish they just had regular ice cream (instead of Custard), but I guess that's just the weird area we live in! I will say that for the price, the hours, and the taste this place has got it going on! read more

5 stars service, taste and friendliness. They're open all year round. I'm a regular and highly recommend it.

This place rivals Holiday Soft Serve, though their Soft serve seems just tad bit creamier then Holiday!! But I do love Holiday too!! I wanted sugar -free & they didnt have it- : ( Only thing is Holidays I would get Child size as their sizes are Gi-normous!! I went here on Thurs evening with friend of mine who frequents here with his wife & he loves it. I can honestly say -Now I know Why!! Though the parking getting in & out can be slightly tricky if you have lots of people trying to get in . Return Factor: Definitely..Just not all the time, be at the gym 2x a day !! read more

Fat free ice cream?! Say no more! I'm in there. I got the twist ice cream in a waffle bowl. It was super yummy and they give super portions! Move over Mister (expensive) Softee! read more

Maple Shade Custard Stand - Fat free twist in a waffle bowl - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Maple Shade, New Jersey

Who gave this less than five stars?! I've been going here since I was little and it's the best ice cream I've ever had. The flurries are my favorite and it's reasonably priced. They have pretty much anything ice cream wise you can think of including milkshakes and water ice. I can't say enough good things about this place. It's a cash only place and they have an on site ATM. read more

Such a great experience! Tried the custard ice cream for the first time, thicker and creamer, good. Pleasant staff and reasonably priced! Bring cash read more
