Love that every Wednesday it's a new flavor of the week. This place is the best custard.

Prices here haven't gone up too much over the past few years and the custard tastes just the same. For me it's the right amount of egg richness and creaminess that makes it work, especially for the vanilla. One of their competitors up the road is WAY too eggy IMHO, so I come here. I'm disappointed Sanders Hot Fudge is gone, and it'd be nice if you found a superior equivalent, but I feel like you guys prob use some kind of stuff you get at Gordon's. Other than that, I'm pretty satisfied, especially with the portion size too. read more

I stopped into this ice cream shop expecting a sweet treat, but instead left with a bad taste in my mouth. While I was paying with quarters, the owner actually came out from the back, interrupted the transaction, and told me, "We don't have time for that." Excuse me? Last I checked, U.S. currency is U.S. currency, and as a paying customer, I deserved a little patience and respect--not to be rushed or embarrassed in front of other customers. The tone was condescending and completely unnecessary. Between the rude attitude and the lack of basic courtesy, I won't be returning. There are plenty of other ice cream shops in the area that value all their customers, regardless of how they choose to pay. read more

Have been to this establishment many times but this last time left me a little bothered. My husband and I both ordered medium sized sundaes and the bill was almost $12.00, plus tip. When we got our order, one was medium sized and the other was small. When I went back to let them know that I had ordered a medium, the young woman who waited on us, told the older woman behind the window what I had said. The older woman said that we paid for one medium and one small but could not (or would not) offer up a receipt to prove that. The experience left a bad taste in my mouth. Also, the way they ask for a tip while you are paying with a credit card is rude. There is tip jar on the counter, if I want to, I will leave one in there. read more

The staff was a bit rude I ordered what I wanted they messed it up then tried to put it on me. Seems hard to mess up a sundae but it was fine after got it right read more

The best. It's real custard. And the people are lovely. My favorite is caramel sundae with pecans.

My kids have tried all Woodward custards and this is our tried and true fave! Rich, creamy, quality cones.

So the ice cream is ok! The problem is the staff/owners that work there! Rude, rude, rude!! If they screw the order up, they make you (the customer) the one at fault!?! Responding with a NASTY SNIPPY remark. They do not fix it and send you on your way with an eye roll. WHAT?? Childish!! Or they screwed up yet again, and the old guy barks at you 'that isn't what you paid for get back to the end of the 20 minute line'. Such entitled arrogance! Total jerks! I tried, but the service is questionable. The owners lack severely in quality with WAY WAY to big arrogant egos! Take your nastiness and you get gone! Stay away and do not reward this derelict behavior. read more

This is a special custard stand off Woodward. The dole whips are nice change of place and on the lighter side of things too. I tend to get a cookie flurry. Only been here a handful of times over the years. Always quick and friendly service. read more

When I used to eat dairy they were one of the favorite spot for custard ice cream. Now I'm happy to see that they offer vegan Dole Whip with a weekly rotation of flavors. It changes every Wednesday. Today I got the lime flavor and it was delicious read more

Great custard! We grabbed some custard late at night and sat in our trunk on Woodward to people watch. I would say plan for a medium line, but it moves fairly quickly. read more

Custard & Co - a dairy sign at night - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

Not bad at all. It's a pretty dense and rich frozen custard, and by that I mean that you don't need as much of it as you think you will in order to be satisfied. If you're thinking of ordering a medium, order a small instead. It'll be plenty. My cousin and I tried them tonight for the first time ever after having been told to go here by another cousin who used to live in walking distance from it. It was basically next-in-line service on a Monday night, and I've gotta be honest: they haul the mail in this place. Once you order, it does not take long at all to receive your confection. And it's good! It may not change your life, frozen custard-wise, but it will certainly provide a pretty rich and dense custardy experience for you. My cousin got a medium chocolate cone, and I got a medium caramel (incorrectly spelled "carmel" on their menu) sundae made with vanilla, minus the whipped cream (but I was kindly asked if I wanted it, and declined). Both were fully consumed and enjoyed, but we both agreed that a small portion would have been sufficient to satisfy us. There's some sidewalk-adjacent seating for enjoying your treats, if you can find some room available, which we did. I would suppose that on busier nights it's far more difficult to acquire that kind of real estate from the lookie-loos who want to watch the pseudo-Dream-Cruisers rev/drive on by in their douchebagmobiles, which I can only believe ticks off the neighbors something fierce due to the decibels. Still: that's not Custard & Co.'s fault at all...but it does tend to wear on you a bit when you're just trying to relax and eat your frozen custard in relative peace. Prices were OK. Each of our treats was around $4-5, and my sundae was plenty big and very well "carameled". It's not the best caramel you're going to find (both DQ and McDonalds are better for certain), but the frozen custard is really the draw, here, and that's just fine. Still: it's odd when I end up throwing away leftover caramel. Almost feels like blasphemy/heresy. Napkin dispenser is on the exterior counter (so you don't have to ask the employees for them, which is nice) and there's ample garbage bins for your waste. It's a nice little streetside window kiosk of sorts, and plenty efficient. Not a bad recommendation from our cousin at all. My apologies for forgetting to take pictures. read more

Aww shoot I ate my custard too fast I couldn't even snap a picture. This happened not once, not twice, but every time I go there. The custard here is just SO good I literally have dreams about it. They have a huge selection of goodies! I usually go for just the plain custard. The vanilla I think is thick, creamy, and amazing. That chocolate though... yeah, life changing. Every now and then I will get their version of a blizzard and add brownie and cookie dough (this is usually when I forget to bring cash) and although I do this these are delicious I don't think they mix it well enough. The "blizzard" ends up just being custard with huge chunks of add ons not really mixed in. If I can remember to bring cash and not just my card the plain vanilla custard or chocolate is my go to. Back to the not bringing cash. This place has a $5 minimum on credit cards so usually if I don't bring cash I just order something more expensive. Highly recommend this Woodward gem. You won't be disappointed! read more

My husband and I have been driving from Rochester to enjoy the delicious frozen custard all summer! Today 9/27/2024 at 3:00 pm the woman at window ask my husband if he would like to add a tip. He agreed to add a little over 10% tip to his card. The woman insulted him saying he was cheap. Unfortunately we won't be supporting this business anymore. read more

Absolute exquisite experience. Most delectable eatery i've obtained in a while. 5 out of 5 stars.

If I could only give this joint a Zero star rating. My precious nephew & I were walking one of my sisters dogs from our home in downtown Birmingham & he wanted some Custard. I only had my IPhone on me & I instructed him to order whatever his heart desired. I was exhausted & overheated because we had spent the day together at the beach. The old woman with grey hair proceed to belittle my appearance, my nephew, and even my sister Amy Andrews. They literally took the $4 soft serve cup out of Jack's hand and proceeded to belittle myself and my 14-year-old. They told me to get the fuck out of there and that I was not welcome. They told me to go someplace that I could afford ice cream. I'm so glad that she was being a complete condescending *itch because I have the entire incident on my phone. I own multiple businesses & am a 50 year old teacher in Huntington Woods & Berkley. Thank you reading this. This will be going to the media once I complete my research. read more

I love custard...way more than frozen yogurt and this place has great custard! I decided to get a chocolate custard with hot fudge sundae. My sundae came out...chocolate custard, hot fudge and whipped cream--no nuts! I said "oh you forgot the nuts" at which point she turned to the cashier and asked the-did she pay for nuts? I replied I got the sundae, sundaes come with nuts. The other girl said "no, nuts don't come with our sundaes." Well that was a strange sundae experience. Too bad...but for a $5+ sundae with no nuts---NO THANKS! Too many other ice cream places around here that will gladly add nuts when you order a sundae! read more

We went to Custard Co for the first time last week. After hearing rave reviews, we decided to make the one hour trek out to Dearborn, and it was well worth the drive. The young ladies were very helpful as we decided what to get. We are huge Disney World fans, so the choice was obvious - we had to try the Pineapple Dole Whip. It was refreshing, and was perfect on a hot summers day. One of us indulged in a chocolate custard cone dipped in toasted coconut, the custard was creamy and smooth and delish and the toasted coconut was the perfect compliment. Lastly, one of us tried the Loaded Drumstick Cup, it was decadent and delicious. The best part was there was no need to cook dinner that night, because the satisfying custard filled us up! read more

This has always been a great place to enjoy homemade frozen custard....especially with their kick-ass dip options. I've always love the toasted coconut and butterscotch!! With walk-up ice cream joints everywhere in Michigan, this is one worth bookmarking... Pricy but the serving sizes make up for it! Enjoy. read more

Felt unwelcome after I paid from the older lady that work there. Great ice cream spot but her service is below average

Wonderful frozen custard. As much a necessary visit as Leonard's on Oahu. I love this place. read more

Good Quality Custard, Great Customer Service & Trusted Service! I would recommend 100 times over!

Yummmmm! You cannot go wrong with the custard! I always get the custard of the day twisted with vanilla custard! Such a great place to go to for dessert! Plus, it's right down the street from Redcoat tavern! :) read more

Cute little place in a strip mall off Woodward is the best way to describe it. Parking is not the greatest and there is not a lot of seating or relaxing area to enjoy your custard. Came here during the afternoon on a Friday in the summer and was a little busy but the line was not bad. My friend ordered a custom blizzard while I stuck with banana-rama. The small was a good size and the custard was delicious. $5.00 minimum charge on a card which is better than other mom and pop places who only take cash. read more

Pretty good frozen custard. Their menu is massive (maybe a bad thing? Can't choose!). I wish their smalls were a little cheaper and a little smaller in size. But otherwise, cool place with good frozen custard! read more

We have been coming here for soft serve custard for my whole life, and it never disappoints. Nice low prices. Amazing custard. Malts that are the beat in the county. All around a good experience. read more

Really good custard texture but it was too sweet for me. It was thick and creamy and their custard cookie sandwiches are good but wish it were 1/3 or 1/2 less sweet. read more

Hands down my favorite frozen custard place in the area. I have probably been to around half a dozen or more such establishments, and this one takes the cake. The texture of the custard is perfection- smooth, silky, creamy. Not icy at all and with incredible delicious flavor. The toasted almond crunch topping is a must. Absolutely. My friends also like their peanut butter cups which are also fantastic. Feel like you cant go wrong with anything you get here. read more

Okay, I gave this place another try and wasn't wow'd. I guess one thing I did realize is maybe I'm not a custard type of gal. I got brownie bites and sprinkles with my small custard and was turned off by the brownie bites. It was a bit too chocolately for me. I guess I was expecting more a fresh taste to them. I'll probably stick with regular ice cream my next trip back... read more

BEST CUSTARD ON THE PLANET!! I've been having this custard for over 25 years. Unbelievable recipe!! I've had many custards, ice creams and frozen yogurts in my 54 years. This is hands down the best. Not "too sweet" read more

I've been here many times and have never thought about reviewing it, maybe because the custard is so yummy!!! This isn't ice cream, it's custard!! And the difference is immense. It's not available at many places anymore and that makes this place a must visit. I usually just get a simple cone, usually a twist. If I go vanilla they have some great toppings to put on it like the pecan crunch. Then you can just sit on the curb and watch the classic cars that seem to be out cruising any night. Check this place out, you won't be disappointed!!! read more

A Woodward Avenue classic! My personal favorite of the three ice cream shops on Woodward. Their ice cream is super creamy, flavorful, and worth every penny. Their flurries and sundaes are awesome as well. Protip: Don't buy any size over a medium, no matter how hungry you are. Their ice cream is suuuuper rich and I promise you that you will get sick of your ice cream halfway through. Not a bad thing, just very filling. read more

Absurdly good! There's something hypnotic about the cold, smooth, buttery texture and clean flavor of frozen custard. It's delicate, creamy, melts on your tongue, and is just like...like...I'm having trouble thinking of non-sexual metaphors. Just go here. Ignore the other walk-up ice creameries on Woodward (there are at least 4 others). Cash only -- I think. Smalls run under $3, and you get a ginormous amount. read more

Oh. My. God. Frozen custard is basically the best thing I've ever had in my mouth. Let me start by saying that I before I had my first frozen custard from Custard and Co, I thought it was just like soft serve. I could not have been more WRONG! It is amazingly, ridiculously, absurdly DELICIOUS!!!!!! I made my husband drive through official Dream Cruise traffic to get a vanilla custard hot fudge sundae as my dinner! Oh lord, imagine what my cravings will be like when I am pregnant??!?! The whole family is sooooooooooooo sad that they are closed for the season (mid October, a bit early in my opinion). I drove by the other day just to make sure they were in fact not open. Sad face. But, I will begin stalking them in the early spring, don't you worry. Must....have....CUSTARD! Edit: minus one star. Where did the nice employees go and why have you replaced them with cranky ones???? read more

As far as my wife and I are concerned, ice cream and custard need to be in their own food group! Given this opinion, we have tried and consume a large amount of ice cream and custard every year, especially in the summer! In my opinion, Custard & Company has the hands-down best custard in the area. And believe me, we've tried just about all of the places around Royal Oak, Ferndale, and the surrounding areas. Portions are huge. Custard is amazing! Plus it is right next door to Al's Famous Deli, so you can get dinner and dessert. Just about the only thing that Custard & Co doesn't have that knocks my socks off is the butterscotch dip. So if you're in the area and you're looking for the best custard you can get, Custard & Co is the place! read more

This place is an institution in my little bubble that I like to call "Sala's World" (similar to the popular 90s animated TV series starring Howie Mandel, 'Bobby's World'). Sure- there are tens of soft serve joints in the area you could choose, but don't risk it - come here, because it's my favorite. When describing it to newcomers I say it is soft serve only way richer, and way creamier. And there is plenty of stoop space outside to relax as you watch douche bags rev their engines on Woodward - that's pure Michigan folks. I am proud to call Custard & CO (honestly had no idea this was the name before I searched it to review, I normally just refer to it as "custard place") MY random frozen shack place of choice! read more

After previously having an apartment that was walking distance from Erma's in Shelby Township, I was worried that I would never find a custard spot near my new home in Royal Oak. Then my boyfriend brought me to Custard & Co. I was NOT disappointed! This place is great! They get pretty busy on nice evenings, but the employees keep the line moving at a great pace. The do except credit cards now too which is nice, since a lot of custard and ice cream places don't. I do have one request if the owners or managers see this.. FRUITY PEBBLE CEREAL!!!! I once went to a custard shoppe that had this as a topping option. It is so delicious on vanilla custard. read more
