Denise FAugust 17, 2016They have a flavor calendar. Their vanilla custard is amazing, sundaes are delicious and the staff are great. Don't expect sophisticated ice cream, this is a good old school style.Upvote2Downvote
OMG the best. Get the Recess or any of the great rotating flavors. I'd recommend checking their flavor calendar online too

S. ZornJanuary 28, 2015One of the few frozen custard places I have seen in Washington. Creamy texture and rotating specialty flavors that change daily. I also just like the vanilla.UpvoteDownvote
AFAR MediaAugust 12, 2014They always have vanilla and chocolate, plus a rotating menu of daily flavors like red velvet cake or caramel macchiato. Read more

Sean FletcherJune 1, 2019I love Old School! One of my recent favorites is a concrete with vanilla custard and Reece’s chunks. Sooo good! 😋UpvoteDownvote

They have a great menu, with delightful offerings BUT if you're in the mood for something simple and delicious, ask for a concrete. Ryan always orders the Oreo, and I get a strawberry one!Upvote2Downvote
Keri DingJanuary 13, 2015The daily special flavors are written on the blackboard on the side wall so you can see what's served for the entire monthUpvoteDownvote
cYeNzOctober 14, 2014Sea Salt Cookie Fudge, I thought the combination is a little weird but it was so good!UpvoteDownvote- Jeremy AkersAugust 29, 2014We devoured one so quickly, between the store and crossing the street, that we had to immediately go back and get anotherUpvoteDownvote
Best ice cream on the hill. Skip the lines at Molly Moon'sUpvoteDownvote
Get the affogato! Yum! (It's unfortunately called "Ryan's Drizzle" on the menu...)UpvoteDownvote
This place quickly became a daily event for me. Enjoy. The staff is always a pleasure to see. Very friendly.UpvoteDownvote
Get the muddy buddy. Sundae served on an awesome brownie with peanut butter!UpvoteDownvote
Sandra GranOctober 6, 2011The Strawberry is very good, but you have to look out on their calendar for what days they are doing it that month.UpvoteDownvote
Jeanna TApril 24, 2012Their brownies are delicious under a scoop of custard and hot fudge.UpvoteDownvote
Kristoffer RAugust 23, 2010I like this place! They disguise custard as ice cream! And Andy's Mint as mint. And Soylent Greens as humans!UpvoteDownvote
Get a scoop of the Caffe Vita frozen custard! It by far is better then any other frozen coffee desert!UpvoteDownvote
SouthernBeetsOctober 3, 2011Their webpage has a monthly calendar of daily flavors--plan ahead!UpvoteDownvote
Rob AlinderJuly 15, 2010Try the Butter Crunch Custard. Butterscotch custard with butter brickle chunks. So damn good.Upvote1Downvote
Abbie GriffinNovember 5, 2010The Caramel Machiatto is AMAZING! Check the website and mark your calendar for it!UpvoteDownvote
Daniel L.August 17, 2012Order a concrete w/ Reese's peanut butter cups & cookie dough! #FOODGASMUpvoteDownvote- Very few people know about the "Concrete". We order strawberry and Oreo. Trust me, you wont be disappointed!UpvoteDownvote
You have to try their FOD (Flavor Of the Day)!UpvoteDownvote
Humberto MartinezAugust 5, 2010Don't get the muddy buddy, it's too decadent. Go for something simpler, or just enjoy the custard by itself.UpvoteDownvote
Jai VasanthMay 15, 2011Too many options?...keep it simple with a scoop of vanilla and a shot of espressoUpvoteDownvote
Aaron BlankApril 20, 2012Don't bring your kids. They are not very kid friendly. No kids scoops. Ask them to split into two but expect "the look".UpvoteDownvote
The cake batter was aweful. I'm going to cold stone.UpvoteDownvote
Justin TangApril 5, 2010Favorite thing: concrete with Oreo. Way better version of a DQ Blizzard :-)UpvoteDownvote
