I ordered a cream puff. It was so hard I couldn't cut it with my spoon. Say your out if the product you have is that old. Not happy at all. read more

The amount of time my friends and I spent deliberating the difference between custard and soft-serve made Custard Time so much better. The "soft-serve" menu items are, indeed, custard. They have many other items, but for the custard there is vanilla, chocolate, and twist. Classic. Bear in mind that the differences between the sizes is bigger than it sounds. You'd think that if 5 sizes are offered (x-small to x-large), then the growth would be gradual. This is not the case. The difference between a small and a medium is beyond my comprehension. That aside, I really liked this place when visiting Northville. The custard is not too rich and has a great, smooth texture. 10/10 would come again. or... 5/5? How does this even work? read more

I come here like 3x a week because the custard is THAT good. However, I fluctuate between a small and medium depending on who's working because some of them make the smalls WAY too small! read more

I'm not a fan of anything sweet. Custard Time is the only place in the world that has me craving and coming back for more. Best ice cream/custard, hands down. Never a disappointment. Very friendly and efficient staff. Convenient location. I also love that they are open until 10pm some nights! read more

From Spring through Summer, i'm always so sad when it closes for the fall and winter. Nonetheless, This is the best place to go for tasty, cheap ice cream. The staff is always super friendly and the ice cream is never a let down! read more

The best ice cream around. So good. The only thing I could say that's not great about this place is it's often pretty crowded. But again, that's because it's awesome! Oh yeah, one more knock... they're not open year round. If you have the chance to check it out, definitely do it. read more

Spring and summer does not start in Northville until Custard Time opens. We love this place and go maybe I've a week Menu is pretty standard for your neighborhood ice cream place. They also have dog ice cream for pets, which our dogs devour. Everyone will find something they like cost is very cheap and affordable. Easy to give a family a treat for cheap. On nice days, it can get rather crowded, however the line moves fast. They do take credit card, but using cash will make it easier to leave a tip. read more

The best custard around, but the lines are long!! The kid in line with the magic tricks was really something.

This place is run by high school girls that can't really get anything right. But it's all good! I think they practice affirmative action because they hired one boy there for diversity. We just never really see him though, so he's more like a mythical creature, and that's not at all meant to be a bad thing. The ice cream is whatevs, just soft serve, but they've messed up my partners order every single time. I don't understand the appeal of this place, it must be what the village people here find entertaining... Getting custard and hoping they get to spot the rare boy scrambling in the sea of girls in short shorts at the front counter. read more

Back in high school I used to hear all about this place. Suffice to say, I definitely had high expectations when I finally went there. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed. Their custard and their ice cream are pretty average. It's like getting fro-yo at any other place. I guess the main reason this place was popular was that this used to be a good place for kids to hang out. :-/ read more

The custard tastes pretty good, but nothing extremely special. At times the lines are very long and finding parking is an issue. The window is run by teenagers. They keep the lines moving. Sometimes they are in such a rush to start your order, that they don't listen to you fully. This results in slightly wrong toppings in the flurry you order. The cost is average for a frozen treat. Sometimes the sizes are off. Meaning smalls aren't always small. If you like basic ice cream, served in a parking lot, this is the right spot. read more

Wow there were so many great reviews and I thought perhaps I had been missing out on something great.I wasn't impressed. It wasn't bad, but I've had better custard. There seemed to be a after taste and almost a ice milk flavor, which isn't consistent with custard. When they say small, they mean small. I thought they had given me the baby cone and for $2, for .50 cent more I would have gotten twice the size. The girls were nice and it was busy. read more

So I just moved to Northville about a month ago and have heard many great things about Custard Time. "There's always a line of people," "My grand kids drive down from Brighton just to get custard there," and so on. The first time I went was about 7-8pm and there were 2 separate lines (because there are 2 ordering windows) with about 10 people each. The wait wasn't too long though. I ordered their vanilla custard and it really was good. Creamy, almost buttery tasting (but not in a disgusting way), and makes you want more after each lick. It was $1.75 for a small cone (which was plenty for me). Be careful about ordering a baby cone, it's the size of my thumb! They also have many other variations and cold treats. I've since been there 2 more times. Driving my friends who visit me from Ann Arbor to this famous custard shop. Overall, I would recommend this place if you're around town. It's easy to find, not overpriced, and a great summer treat. However, there is not much seating besides 2 benches. So don't plan on hanging around this custard shop for an extended period of time. read more

Northville + summer time = Ice cream at Custard Time This is THE hangout place on summer nights. Expect long lines, but enjoy the charm. From entire baseball teams stopping in after a game, the usual high school crowds after school, to family going for a neighborhood walk this place attracts everyone in town. You'll even see fire trucks stop by on occasion! Prices have kinda skyrocketed, but worth it. More than just frozen treats. They also serve dogs, burgers, nachos. Easily one of the most iconic parts of town. They will NOT serve anyone who gets in line after close. But will happily serve you if you're already in line. If you're lucky enough to be the last in line at close, They'll give you the magical "end of line" cup or sign. In exchange for keeping the end-of-the-line the end-of-the-line, they give you a free treat! Seasonal only. Historically, the official opening is April 1, but they can be seen serving a week or two sooner if the weather is unseasonably nice. I think they close in October. read more

The precautions put in place by Custard time for covid-19 are fantastic! Employees are wearing gloves and masks while making items and a sneeze guard is placed in front of the windows. Earlier this season lines were a little slow moving while they were figuring out how to navigate covid but now they really seem to have it down! The only downside is the customers. They have signs and stars on the ground to encourage social distancing, but some other customers seem to refuse to follow these guidelines. I have occasionally seen an employee request some teenagers back up from the customer in front of them that they were crowding but most of the time they seem to be focused on keeping the line moving, which I totally understand, they're doing what they can from inside the shop. The custard is amazing as ever, and I highly recommend the flurries! Thanks Custard Time for giving us something to smile about during these hard times read more

This is the best icecream place!!! Been coming here since I was a little girl. They have the best waffle cones. Their custard is amazing.

I am not a big ice cream lover/eater. However, Custard Time is PHENOMINAL!!! I won't buy ice cream from anywhere else! The Cookie dough Blizzard/Twister is the absolute best. Their custard has such a clean, pure taste. Nothing like it.... read more

Great place to get ice cream when they are open in the summer. Lots of variety. Girls are great. They work hard. The reason I'm not giving them a five star rating is that a couple of times I've been there and they are out of supplies or their machines are down. I know that can happen to any business but it's happened a few times - I still highly recommend them. read more

Favorite Ice Cream Spot Ever! Nothing better to hit up after a round of disc as Cass Benton park!

OMFG. The CHERRY DIP with vanilla custard. I have dreams about this weekly. My mouth is watering RIGHT NOW! I'm from CA and never had this until I moved to Michigan. My world changed. This is my favorite thing about Michigan so far. Thank you Custard Time for making my day! If you have never had a cherry dipped cone I honestly feel sorry for you. You have not lived until you have this. Why can't this be in the same family a kale? Is it? Keep on dippin'! read more

This place is the best! Very good! I would love to go back, but maybe at a time when they aren't so busy. However, since it was so good, maybe its always packed! read more

The counters get pretty gross in the summer, but the custards always right on. Girls working there are usually pretty friendly.

Huge portions. Soft serve is very good, but very rich. All you can eat and all you need is a cone. Ordered a medium cone, think it was around $3. read more

Great place! Best ice cream in Downtown Northville and around. Too bad there is no place to sit down.

Yes, this is quickly becoming a Northville legend (if it isn't already). Traditionally, there is no lack of demand for this average ice cream stand because it's one of the only games in town. Maybe that's why, contrary to the deflation we see everywhere else, the owner has decided to raise prices each of the past two years. Typical, wealthy Northville residents may not even notice but I sure did tonight when a small Flurry and medium sundae set me back $7 including a 50 cent tip. I got into my car thinking, "What the heck?" This place used to be a good deal. Stand in line for 20 minutes to get ripped off? No thanks. read more
