Custard's First Stand - Pittsburgh

Great classic ice cream spot, better prices and options than their local competitors. Love going with our family.

A favorite stop in the summer for a sweet treat! Custard 's weekly soft serve flavor always keeps me curious and eager to come back. This week was blackberry and pistachio, which you can either get individually or swirled together. I went for the blackberry dipped in chocolate. The flavor was a bit sweet for me, but I 'm glad I tried it. There traditional twist done is always a go to for me, and they have plenty of other ice cream offerings hard ice cream, sundaes, their version of the blizzard . Service can be a bit slow depending on how many people are there, but on a nice night it 's fun to be outside and talking to friends while waiting anyway! The seating area offers a nice spot with many tables to enjoy your ice cream at.

Dat vanilla cream was creamy af (as frick) DAWG. This extravagant strapping young gentleman, Ben Monti served up sum o dat good good. Me and him connected on a personal level immediately. It was meant to be the whole time, and I thought he needed a raise. He broke my heart when he told me I had to step out of line for the next customer. 1 star He needs a raise fr fr dawg

We stopped here for the first time yesterday. We got to Custard's around 5:30 and I was happy to see that it wasn't super crowded. They have ample parking. They also have tables and chairs so you can sit outside and eat your ice cream. When we walked up we were greeted right away. The girl taking our order was very sweet and answered any questions we had. I decided on a small twist cone with rainbow sprinkles. My husband ordered a lime misty. My MIL ordered a small butter pecan cone. My husband also got an ice cream sandwich to go. The ice cream sandwiches are made by Good L'oven so I know they are all probably so good! Everything we tried was really good. Definitely hit the ice cream spot. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because... there is no custard... at a place called Custard's. That can be a little misleading, especially if you're coming to this place thinking you can get some custard. Other than that... very good. We will be back.

We were all excited to go get some frozen custard and a quick google search pulled up Custard's First Stand. We didn't think to double check the menu, since google search brought it up AND custard is in the name. But nope, no custard. We left disappointed (we didn't order anything), but got a good laugh out of it. Lesson learned... don't trust google search and just because it's in the name, it doesn't mean they sell it... Cup O' Joe Cafe may not sell coffee!
