Southern Custard has been one of our favorite dessert spots in Brookhaven. They offer a great variety of frozen custard flavors, including all the classic favorites as well as rotating seasonal flavors, so there's always something new to look forward to. The custard is rich, creamy, and incredibly smooth without being overly sweet. Whether you stick to a classic flavor or try one of their creative seasonal combinations, it's hard to go wrong. My personal go-to is the Brownie Sundae. The warm, fudgy brownie paired with their creamy frozen custard is the perfect combination and never disappoints. One thing that keeps us coming back is the service. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and happy to help with recommendations, making every visit a pleasant experience. If you're in the Brookhaven area and craving a sweet treat, Southern Custard is definitely worth a visit. Great desserts, wonderful service, and consistently delicious custard! read more

Stopped in for the fist time. I ordered the salted caramel and vanilla. The hubs ordered the chocolate and vanilla. Both were delicious. Staff was friendly, and it was really clean. It's small and quaint. read more

I am pregnant and was craving a cold, sweet treat after I saw someone's ranking in a video on Instagram of their favorite ice cream shops around town. That week, I dragged my husband to Southern Custard. It's a cute little local shop that has vanilla and chocolate custard daily and brings out a different special flavor or two each day. They have a calendar in shop as well as online, so you can plan your visit! The ambiance is comfortable and casual and the service was so sweet and friendly! The day we went, we shared a "Coffee Oreo" custard. It was so creamy and delicious. So excited to come back for more! read more

Family was looking for dessert and we found this winner! The flavors of the day were not calling my name so I got a pint of the Chocolate Heath which was right up my alley, so yummy! Husband and daughter shared a poffertjes which has two small scoops of custard. They said it was tasty. I liked the outside eating area where cute little dog was enjoying to the outing and little birds wanted to come and check out the action. It was a beautiful setting. Free parking in the lot! read more

This place is a must go place in Brookhaven! If you want some great custard, make the trip to this location. The team is great. They always have chocolate and vanilla and the flavor of the day. Check their website. They also serve an Affogato and other espresso drinks. This place goes from quiet to very loud depending on the clientele. You'll never go wrong with this place and, of course, they let you taste before you decide. read more

Nice establishment to grab a quick sweet treat. Perfect for a couple scoops of ice cream. Seating inside and outside. For an easy hangout.

I have been going to this place for years and realized that I should probably write a review. So here goes... The custard is delicious. They usually have 3 flavors "on tap" - vanilla, chocolate, and the flavor of the day. Service is quick and friendly. Since it's in a strip mall, parking is easy. And the best part - it's open late! Until 10 on weekdays and 11pm on weekends. There's a few tables inside and a few outside. It's always amusing to see all the folks rush in to get their custard fix mere minutes before closing. We've never cut it that close but it's good to know they'll welcome you in even if you show up then. read more

This place is amazing! My husband doesn't like ice cream but loved this place. We had mint chocolate chip and it was truly the best we have ever had! The staff is super friendly!

This is an excellent place with an excellent product. I love this spot. It is warm vibed and comfortable. The quality of the custard is unparalleled. The owner really care about his customers. read more

Overall: one of the best frozen custard places in Atlanta I am one of those people that for some reasons looks for reasons not to give 5 stars, but really nothing wrong with this place. Service has always been so prompt, friendly, and helpful. Frozen custard is always delicious and they have different flavors I think almost every day. Overall, there is plenty of seating. Indoor seating can be limited at times, but there are a handful of outdoor tables. Might as well enjoy your frozen custard in a warm spring/summer sun anyway, right? Just a great place to grab a frozen custard on your way to Costco, or when you are just craving a delicious scoop. For now, definitely one of the best frozen custard places in Atlanta I have been to. read more

Quality custard, choice of chocolate or vanilla or a flavor of the day. Great taste, and not too sweet like some frozen custard places. Was our first time going, but will be coming back! read more

What a gem!!! Who knew they have been there for 10years! Fantastic local business! Great owner and great staff especially a young lady named Connor! Place is clean awesome toppings and custard is truly the best in the South!!! They have a special custard every day the coconut cream is to die for!!! Also get the coffee custard special!!! read more

Southern Custard is a good custard spot, but nothing particularly special. The baseline options of custard are limited, but there are a number of ways of customizing your pick, from making sundae to adding a few toppings. It can get busy, but the staff members are nice. There's some outside and inside seating. The inside is small and a little cramped but at least an option in colder weather. read more

This place is tucked in a ritzy shopping center and apartment complex with gratuitously sparse parking; several spots were designated specifically for short-term frozen custard parking. They offer vanilla and chocolate and one rotating flavor, which when I dropped in was a splendid salted caramel that delivered just the right hint of salt. They had the options for toppings and sundaes, but it was a bit strange that they didn't have a banana split or a greater flavor variety. Not much for those avoiding dairy or egg either. But it was tasty and a good price. read more

This is the best ice cream in Atlanta! 10/10! We drive 20 minutes from Buckhead just to have some.

Custard is really good, but the Leica was a bit on the higher end! They usually have vanilla and chocolate and then flavor of the day. You can choose extra toppings for extra 75 cents. read more

This is a great spot! They have vanilla and chocolate custard plus a new flavor everyday. When I went they had butterfinger which was super tasty. Their custard has a great texture to it and next time, I'll try it in a cone. A small was 3.95 plus .75 cents for toppings. It's a great price for the amount you get and the taste. read more

Nice new place to go for frozen custard. The shop is bright and clean, with convenient parking, and the service is pleasant and efficient. I loved the hot fudge sundae and my lovely bride inhaled the turtle sundae. The hot fudge and caramel sauce were a bit on the skimpy side. Otherwise, highly recommended! read more

Must try if you like unique flavors that change daily/weekly They also have the classics that are a safe bet Service is quick and staff are always friendly read more

I stopped in for a sweet treat. It is a cute little cozy spot, the same plaza is Secreto. The custard was good, of course, but only comes in two flavors, vanilla and chocolate, it seemed. Maybe that was just for that day, but it was a Saturday, so I would expect a little more variety. Then again? Maybe I am spoiled from the plentiful choices of custard in New York. My search for a really good custard will continue. read more

This is an excellent custard bar. It is natural and rich tasting without being overly sweet. I have been eating custard here for nearly seven years. I have never found a place like this even in my home city of New York. If you try it you will return. read more

I'm getting hooked on frozen custard, and this is a great place to get it. It helps that it's a very short drive from my home! Parking is no problem, since there is a long parking lot that all the businesses in the strip mall share. Just about all of the employees at Southern Custard are welcoming and friendly. They're always ready with an answer to customers' questions, and will provide you with a sample of fresh frozen custard on a tiny spoon if you show an interest in a flavor. The store is always clean, the counters cleared, and the toppings section very presentable. Employees and customers are required to wear facemasks and signage on the floor indicates where customers should stand in order to social distance from each other. Even if there is a long line, the employees are very efficient and get the customers through very quickly. Inside dining is not allowed, and there are some tables outside where you can enjoy your frozen sweet treat. Southern Custard always has three flavors, and two of them are chocolate and vanilla. The third flavor, the featured flavor, changes daily. Yesterday, the featured flavor was toasted coconut chip. I ordered a sundae with toasted coconut chip frozen custard (three scoops), topped with hot fudge, chopped peanuts, whipped cream and a cherry! The toasted coconut chip frozen custard was deliciously slightly sweet with chips of crunchy chocolate, and a hint of coconut via some slivers of coconut mixed in. The toppings complimented the custard extremely well. There are many other forms that you could have your frozen custard: concretes, malts, malts and floats. You could also have your frozen custard in a cup, cake cone or waffle cone. Great tasting frozen custard and friendly employees made for a fantastic Southern Custard experience! read more

First time @ SC and have mixed reviews. Customer service was amazing. I was curious of the ingredients of the custard as it was not posted in the store or online. Come to find out custard is not made from scratch. It comes from a brown box from Dairy Direct (Meadowvale). Some of the ingredients include corn syrup solids, cellulose gum, and tetrasodium pyrophosphate ,and cameral color. Not what I expected. read more

A little too melty for my liking but all in all pretty good frozen custard. I got the marble swirl and it tasted pretty decent. I would not say its the best I have ever had but not bad read more

Perfect for my sweet tooth! Southern Custard is located in Brookhaven in the same shopping plaza as Marlow's Tavern and Burn. They offer vanilla and chocolate custard daily and then one additional flavor that changes daily. When we visited we got the vanilla custard and topped it with walnuts.We also ordered the mini pancakes and a milkshake. We were able to choose our drizzle on the pancakes. They also have a variety of toppings for your custard. I really like that the updated flavor calendar is on their website. I love this for a sweet treat. I would recommend dropping in and giving them a try. The staff is friendly and it is clean. They have seating inside and outside as well. read more

I loved stumbling on to this little place during my random drive around the area when visiting! Custard is hard to find up north and whenever we are in the south, it's one of our favorite things to look for. I LOVED the recommendation that was given to me. Georgia clay seems to sound off putting but it's AMAZING! I believe the flavors are also seasonal! So make sure you check their website to see what special flavors they are creating! read more

Some of the best custard in Atlanta! Amazing daily rotating flavors that are so darn addicting (biscoff, key lime pie, tiramisu, snickerdoodle, toasted marshmallow, darth vador with loads of dark chocolate - those are my ultimate faves) and everyone is so so friendly that works there! read more

This was our first visit to the restaurant-the food and drinks was perfect and brought out in no time. Our server Marcus was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. My husband didn't like his drink and our server went above and beyond to make it a positive customer experience. Definitely made an impression for us Will definitely be back to patronize this establishment again with my friends for brunch. We had a great time and can't wait to return read more

Amazing Affogato! Their strong coffee blended really nicely with their creamy custard ice cream (try the chocolate to get a nice mocha effect). Lots of free parking out front. read more

So delicious! I got the Concrete ($5.95), which includes the custard flavor of your choice and one topping mixed in. It's basically a Blizzard from Dairy Queen. It was sooo good. I got vanilla mixed with Oreo. The staff was so sweet. The inside was adorable, complete with string lights and bring walls. I'll definitely be back! read more

A couple of friends and I were wanting dessert after dinner nearby and we found this spot. It's a cute little place. My friend and I shared the special that day which was a caramel crunch I believe. It had vanilla and dulce de leche custard with heath bar topping. It was good. My other friend got the poffertjes which are mini pancakes (8) with two scoops of vanilla frozen custard, hot fudge and powdered sugar on top. That was absolutely delicious! This place is kinda far from me but if I ever came back here I'd 1000% get that. I recommend that to anyone coming here. The custard over all is nice. I wish they had strawberry that day because I'm sure it would be delicious! read more

This is really tasty custard. I typically prefer custard over ice cream because I like how creamy it is. Southern Custard offers a daily choice of chocolate, vanilla, or special flavor of the day. They offer a large variety of toppings, and whipped cream is complimentary. I typically get the hot fudge sundae. The prices are reasonable, as 2 scoops of custard is only $3.95. There are a limited number of tables inside, but they do have a bunch of outdoor seating. Service is really good too. read more

We walked in and were immediately greeted by a friendly gentleman behind the counter. We indicated we'd never visited before, and he quickly gave us the rundown of everything they offered. (They always have chocolate and vanilla custard, and then there's the flavor of the day.). Today's flavor du jour was Pecan Praline. It took me about 0.25 seconds to decide I wanted a medium sized cup that was half chocolate and half praline pecan. Both were excellent. The pralines were a little cold-crunchy, and buttery sweet just like all good things praline. Totally hit the spot. My wife decided on a hot-fudge sundae made with the praline pecan and the vanilla. She practically inhaled that thing. She'd be mad at me if I told you that she finished it before we left the parking lot. This would be untrue, of course, but I think it's still funny to say so. I'm glad we visited Southern Custard, and I can't wait to go again. I think we saw that they'll soon have "honeycomb" custard on the menu soon as the daily flavor. Holler if you're joining us for that. read more

I liked it definitely be back again. Chocolate custard with delicious must try the brownie very good.

We've been here a few times and have had a great experience. The shop is small with only a few tables inside and a handful outside to sit it, but the ambiance is modern and there has never been a problem finding a seat as most people take it to-go or eat quickly, so the turnover is fast. You order at the end of the counter right when you walk in and there are two flavors (chocolate and vanilla), and a flavor of the day. I have seen Milk and Honey as the flavor of the day and Cookies and Cream, which is just the vanilla with Oreo in it. The custard is very smooth and tastes excellent! What's not on the menu is a kid's option, which is one scoop (doesn't seem like a lot, but it is) and comes with one topping. Otherwise, if you order the adult sizes, toppings are extra. They have a great selection of toppings available. They also offer concretes, shakes, and malts. read more

Not quite as sweet as I thought it should be. I had a waffle cup and enjoyed it but I'm from the north and close to Wisconsin where custard is an art form. For Atlanta I'd say it was a good choice. Not sorry I went. read more
