Theron's Frozen Custard is one of the 5 affiliated eateries that comprises "Theron's Marketplace" (see my Yelp review for a rundown). In my opinion, however, they are the highlight of the establishment. If you've never tried frozen custard, you really are in for a delightful treat! It's smooth, creamy and has texture that's similar to and yet unlike ice cream or frozen yogurt. Usually they have vanilla and chocolate frozen custard, but sometimes feature speciality flavors as well. The major highlight here is they have a number of specially crafted sundaes and other creations made from this deliciousness; and many of them are named for famous Redlands landmarks, high schools, etc, so it adds a whole new meaning to the term "local flavor". I have to admit...one of my guilty pleasures is to sneak across the street to here after I get my haircut at Wilson's Classic Barbershop and ask for an Orange Fanta Float. It's so unique and delicious. The place is located across from Wilson's and the Fox Theater on the periphery of downtown Redlands. It shares the building it's in with a salad/sandwich shop, a Hawaiian ice shop and a Mexican Restaurant; all of which feature their own delicious food you should try! Certainly a place to try with you want to treat yourself to a rich, creamy and delicious treat away from the Baskin-Robbins/Coldstone mainstream! read more

The two times I've been here, the food has been good. I attempted to go there last Thursday for a third time at 7:30pm to grab a sandwich to go. Google and Yelp said they closed at 8pm. I get there and the doors were locked (closed sign) and the employees were cleaning up. I get it, people want to go home etc. However, if you're advertising that the business closes at 8pm, then it should close at 8pm or announce online somewhere that they will be closing early for the day. That was a little off putting. I'm rating the experience as a whole. Otherwise, the food is typically good from what I have tried. read more

Theron's Frozen Custard - Excuse my nails. The custard was tasty. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Redlands, California

Right across the street from the fox venue. Cool spot for large groups. Long tables and chairs low or high tops. Only two vendors inside this packing house sort of spot. Great potential for other vendors to bring diversity for food options. Silky smooth frozen custard. Great service! Tap to pay. Seasonal flavors or classics. Customize your toppings mix in. Parking along street right in front. read more

Came at 2pm on a Monday, but closed despite supposedly being open. This actually happened to me another time here too. Not sure how that works, but definitely don't recommend relying on business hours here anymore. read more

Ok. I have to be honest here. It was stupid got outside and I was melting. I also love ice cream in general. This may be a biased assessment. I really enjoyed the flavor. It sweet but not too sweet and the toppings could be found through the whole desert. I will be back. read more

I looove Theron's. They layer the toppings throughout the frozen custard which is the way it should be, but no place ever does it. And the custard is creamy and amazing. Highly recommend!! read more

What can I say? This frozen custard is smooth, creamy and ridiculously good. I had vanilla, and it's actually worth writing about! Strong vanilla flavor, think double vanilla! If you eat outside, you get a cool view of Fox Theater. read more

Cleanliness. The custard is divine. I only added Butterfinger into mine and it eclipsed any belief that it wasn't worth every penny. The moment the spoon breaks the surface, you notice the texture is almost unfair. Its not just smooth; its silk that somehow maintained perfect, quivering structure. The sweetness is confident yet restrained. I am already planning my next visit. read more

They do rotate out their flavors! They also let you sample the custard too, just ask! The gentleman working here was very friendly and informative. We came here 30 minutes before closing, so one of the available flavors were already sold out. You have the option of customizing your own frozen custard with each topping being an extra 75 cents each or choosing a pre-curated mix and just choosing the custard base. I got the Stefanovich with vanilla frozen custard base. It comes with butterscotch and crushed Heath bars. Loved that this was distributed throughout my custard instead of only just piled at the top! The custard was a rich French vanilla with a smoother, softer consistency than fro-yo. Great place to stop by for a frozen treat! read more

Great local spot to come for dessert! They've got classic vanilla and chocolate, and a seasonal flavor; and plenty of toppings that you can customize to your liking. We got two small sundaes, and were more than satisfied with the portions and the quality! I got vanilla topped with butterscotch, macadamia nuts, and crushed up Oreos. My girlfriend got the seasonal flavor (mint) with chocolate chips. Really simple builds, but they were great due to the quality of the ingredients. Highly recommend coming in to check out their custards and their sandwiches! read more

Theron's Frozen Custard - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Redlands, California

Theron's Frozen Custard is richer than ice cream. To qualify as frozen custard it is required to have a higher egg yolk percentage than ice cream - you can taste the difference. When we were there, Theron's only had two flavors; chocolate and vanilla. But they did the 2 flavors well: rich, creamy and flavorful. While lacking in frozen custard flavor variety, they made up with topping choices and portion size. This afternoon of 105+ degree heat we had the Blackhawk Bash and the Stefanovich. As you can see in my pics, they layer the addins throughout the sundae. Also, somehow, they fill the top of the cup cone with frozen custard - a very ample portion. The Blackhawk Bash had vanilla frozen custard (you can choose chocolate) with Oreos and hot caramel. The hot caramel wasn't so hot that it melted the frozen custard. This combo was rich and sweet. It packs a sugar rush. The Stefanovich had chocolate frozen custard with butterscotch and heath bar crumbles. The combo was also very rich and sweet. The heath bar crumbles added a nice crunch. On our next trip, we'll opt for smaller portions and order frozen custard by the cup. And for $.75 per addin, we'll make our own creation. They have 6 family style indoor tables. We enjoyed their air conditioning while watching the pedestrian traffic across the street. read more

We were out looking for a good high quality dessert and we found it. We arrived about 20 minutes before closing, so we weren't expecting to see a lot of people there. I ordered a therons reg size and my husband ordered a terrier treat I believe it was called. Theron's custard was good and very decadent. Next time we go I'd probably build my own though. I recommended for any family outing. read more

Save your money and go to frost bites in riverside. Service is awful... the smell in the building is nauseating.. almost like burnt plastic.

I am not a fan of sweets unless it is ice cream and I have to say Theron's vanilla frozen custard is my favorite frozen dessert ever. Close to downtown Redlands but you don't have to wait long... Large portions (it is a little expensive) but worth every penny. Lots of gluten free options for me, plus they have a soda bar and float options for a variety of different cold treats. read more

I've been interested in trying this place out for a while now and just recently made my way over. From what I've heard, they just recently moved to a it's current location closer to Downtown Redlands. It's pretty interesting. It seems they bought out a space with a lot of different stalls which I'm guessing is supposed to occupied by other food places or vendors. Currently it's just the Frozen Custard and Theron's sandwiches, so it's pretty empty at the moment. It's also very echoey so sound definitely carries. Kinda awkward, but that's alright. They're trying to grow and that's cool. We were the only ones there when I visited, so the service was pretty fast. So I tried one of their Sundaes, the Terrier Treat, which had their vanilla custard, peanut butter cups and bananas. It was good. I'm always a fan of peanut butter cups. I've heard that custard is supposed to be like creamier and/or richer. I'm not sure I got that from this Sundae, but it was pretty hot and it was starting to melt quickly. It's hard to judge, maybe that significantly affected its consistency. Flavor was good though. I also tried some of my friend's Theron's Original which was also pretty decent. Maybe I'll have to come back to reassess, but overall it's a decent frozen dessert option! read more

Yum! Theron's marketplace is a one stop shop for a Deli, gourmet salads, Hawaiian BBQ and Frozen custard to finish off your meal. Please note they close on Sundays! And Hawaiian BBQ is served only on Fri & Saturdays. Love their selection of hot and cold sandwiches. They serve Boar's head deli products and even offer one my favorite bread! Squaw! You can also build your own sandwich. Each of their sandwiches are $9.99 They serve delicious Hawaiian BBQ on weekends (Fri &Sat) but sometimes they sell out before the end of the night! So if you want BBQ, make sure you go early! Choose a plate and you get all three meats (chicken, pork and beef). My fave is the pork. If you just want one meat, then choose the bowl option. The XL plate ($15) is good for two to share! Frozen custard is so delicious.. creamy and a nice treat to end your meal.. a small is $3 but big enough to share. There's a special flavor of the day every day in addition to chocolate and vanilla that are served daily. There is also large variety of sundaes with various toppings. Workers here are super friendly people! read more

Kauai Sunrise- ordered the "small" size which will comfortably feed 3 people. The base consisted of ice with a orange-pineapple syrup (think cactus cooler), topped with fresh pineapple and a hupai foam! This was super delicious and perfect for a hot day. Therons original sundae- caramel + vanilla custard + almonds + bananas. The custard itself is so creamy and delicious, although after a while eating it the sugar really hits you hard. I really appreciated how this sundae was staggered so that there were banana and almonds in the middle and on the top. Super tasty and will comfortably feed 2! Covid precautions: there were 4 tables, co soaring of up to 4 chairs each. Each table was socially distanced read more

My first visit, I had the Romi G sandwich and a medium custard. The sandwich was quite good, four different cheeses, tomato, and basil on sourdough bread, grilled. I was very disappointed with the custard, though. I don't know, maybe it was a bad batch but it was very thin, actually runny, and flavorless. I have had custard from many different restaurants and custard shops and it has always been thick and creamy. Theron's own website says that custard is thicker than ice cream, but this was so runny it looked like melted ice cream. As soon as the employee handed it to me I thought it looked thin and melted but she didn't seem to think anything about it do I figured that was the way custard was here. Service was slow, took quite awhile to get my sandwich and custard even though I was the only customer present. Probably won't return. There are other places to get good sandwiches and definitely better places to get custard. read more

Recently went to try out a few of their food options and of course we couldn't leave without trying some Theron's frozen custard it was amazing! The custard is so creamy, thick, so rich and delicious it is an absolute must if you go to Theron's. We definitely will be trying their signature frozen custard sundaes. The staff was helpful and informative and the overall vibe is very friendly. There's plenty of seating inside & out! They weren't very busy when we went but it's a definitely a hidden gem that everybody must try out. read more

The food is not bad, the custard, pretty good, but I got a gift card from there today and they charged me five dollars for the gift card! And then she said it was pretty standard. Which is a bunch of bull crap, because I got three other gift cards the same day and not one place charged me! now I can see maybe a dollar? But five dollars for a card that is the most ridiculous crap I've ever heard. I will never get a gift card from there again. read more

The frozen treats here are great! They have lots of mix-ins and everything is made just to your liking.

Always great customer service and I come here for the sandwiches. Highly recommend! My favorites are Romi G and Dr Vine's and I usually add bacon. read more

This place has been around for quite a while but has recently relocated. I really like the new location. The service was great and so was the food! I ordered the Wildcat Crunch Small Sundae which comes with your choice of vanilla or chocolate custard with raspberry sauce and macadamia nuts. It was so delicious! I would totally order it again!! I am so glad they had a small size! At first, I thought the sundaes only came in the larger size and that is too big for me personally. I'm also excited that all of their sandwiches can be made vegetarian. I ordered the Ben Barton without Turkey and it was amazing!!! The sourdough bread was so good I'm still thinking about it. The only thing was that the mustard was just a little heavy because I couldn't taste the dill mayo. However, this sandwich is still a new favorite. I'm definitely coming back! read more

I have been following theron's on social media and been very excited to give their sandwiches a try. So came in, ordered a build your own sandwich. Got a Turkey on squaw. Ambiance was nice and clean. Staff was not very friendly. Kinda blah. Sandwich was delicious. I guess i was expecting a better overall experience because i was excited to give them a try. (And i love supporting local and small businesses). I will return and try something else. And definitely bring the kiddos for custard, which we have had at the old location and we loved it. read more

Delicious deli sandwiches. Quiet spot right off the main drag. Easy to get to and parking was not too bad. Will go back.

Best custard ice cream!!! Just popped in on this spot and I have to save I was very impressed service was amazing ambiance was also great to

They moved locations to exciting downtown Redlands, and their custard is amazing! Don't bother going to a la mode, because this place is so much better. Custard is creamy and sweeter, and better than any artisan ice cream. They have big plans to expand and grow as a company. They will only get better! They can customize whatever type of ice cream creation you want. We ordered vanilla custard with hot fudge and marshmallow. It was delicious. They are also very friendly and keep their space clean. read more

Service is nowhere what it was at the old location. Custard is still good, but employees cannot even follow the most simple instructions, like no lids please. read more

I was very happy with this place, but one thing I'd say is that the custard is RICH and they give you BIG servings. My wife and I now share desserts here, they are too much for us (we are weaklings). They have free parking behind the store. We will definitely be back, we are fans. read more

This place is very well hidden, if you werent paying attention you would've really miss it lol, if it wasnt for the sign they have out there. but yeh this place is right next to children's playhouse. which is pretty small. they dont really have a lot of parking in the front but i'm sure they have some more in the back, bec. it is a playhouse after all. i ordered the Zack attack, which contains hot fudge, butterscotch and pecans, with a choice of vanilla or chocolate. their add-ins are (i think) $.75 cents extra) but if you mention that you dont like or allergic to pecans and replace it to their add-ins, they wont charge you. i was being polite bec. i didnt want to be picky but i really dont like pecans on my ice cream so you just have to be honest and say it, the lady was pretty cool about it, but she almost got confused. also the menu does say Regular or Large, but you can also say you like it small so she wont charge you what it says on the menu. other than that, they have a nice outdoor seats, that has a nice view in the back. i'll probably come back here again to try out their sandwiches. read more

The market has such potential to be a cool spot, but it lacks vision sadly. Also, DON'T go there for the shave ice! You know it's not gonna be good when the workers are asking each other "who knows how to make shaved ice?" My shave ice had syrup on top but nothing under it but ice ha. Such potential to be a cool spot if they get a vision for it. Until then, I'll go somewhere else. read more

"This place looks like a friggin' bathroom." That was my initial reaction when my fiancee and I pulled up. We parked on the side of the road and reluctantly headed in. As we approached the door, a sign on the door said "cash only today." Luckily, we had a little over $5 in cash to spare. We wanted to try their cheesecake custard but they were out so we opted for the peanut butter custard. We chose vanilla rather than chocolate. The order was ready within three minutes or so and we headed outside to sit and catch pokemon (Theron's is a pokestop!). Honestly, I'm not too sure what qualifies as a custard. We first had custard at Shake Shack which was really rich, creamy, and thick. This tasted more like regular ice cream with Reese's Pieces Peanut Butter cups and bananas mixed in?? It was still a good treat for a hot summer day. read more
