    a truck parked in front of a restaurant

    Custard Lite is a small ice cream stand at the edge of Orchard Park at Chestnut Ridge Rd and Ellicott. It's a place I've driven by many times, but I hadn't stopped to eat there since I was a kid and my sisters took me. With it being such a nice day yesterday and being in the area, we thought we'd check it out. Due to the quarantine situation right now, unfortunately their ice cream menu is limited compared to usual. We were informed that their supplier has been slow to restock much of the custard flavors, leaving them with just the standard vanilla, chocolate, and vanilla/chocolate swirl flavors. So our hopes of trying the black cherry or pistachio custards was dashed. The server though suggested the hard ice cream for pistachio however. Stating that it was his favorite flavor. He was right! The ice cream was packed with flavor and the chunks of pistachio nut were fantastic! It was a delicious cone! We saw signage that they have a small kitchen as well for anyone looking to get a quick burger or hot dog as well. If you're driving by, it's worth the stop!

    This smaller icecream stand is defintly one to check out if you find yourself in Orchard Park at Chestnut Ridge and Ellicott. What threw me for a loop was the variety of custards at a reasonable price. I dont eat a lot of icecream and the baby size is always the perfect amount. The flavors of custards range: Butter Pecan, Blueberry, Pistacho, Cherry, Orange to name a few. My choose was Blueberry, that had the light, sweetness of a blueberry taste was satisfied with my selection.

Asked to replace the soft serve on the peanut butter sundae with hard ice cream and it was a measly 50 cents! The sundae was enough for two and just the right taste for a chocolate peanut butter lover. Real whipped cream too! Just a bit more than $8, but for two to share that was a good price.

I've been going here ever since I was a child. I went to school with the Charlap children. It was started by the Charlap family with their dairy farm with fresh milk that would be delivered by truck and glass bottles delivery back in the day, and they made their own ice cream which they served at their location in Boston, which has been the same but has expanded in size over the years to match the production needs. My friends used to deliver milk for this dairy in a truck like the good old days! When our baseball teams won in the town, we would go here for ice cream. They have soft serve and hard ice cream and sundaes and shakes and floats. Anything that an old ice cream shop would have- they even have ice cream sandwiches and ice cream cakes for sale these days which looked insanely good. There's probably 40 to 50 different flavors of ice cream. They are all made in house and incredible. There is a second location that opened in the village of Hamburg by the owner son, Nick, and it is a much smaller space. Charlaps is open in the winter with limited hours, it is very slow that time of year. However,, In the summer, there is barely parking. There's seating indoors and outdoors. I have watched this place evolved as I have spent most of my life in this town growing up and now visiting my family, who still lives in our Homestead. To me, this is some of the best fresh cream, milk, and ice cream on the planet! And you will never change my mind. Patronize this business it's incredible.

As cool as it was to see a lot of restaurants…read morebring their heavy equipment to cook food on-site @ ToB, Nitro Magic should've been the biggest winner in that respect. However, liquid nitrogen canisters were nowhere to be found as all of their stuff came out of boxes. I thought the entire draw of using molecular gastronomy was to flair involved in making the food, not necessarily the end product. And because of that and the weather, their ice cream was put at a big disadvantage. Yet they still managed to win the rookie-of-the-year award at the competition. At least one of the workers there let me get 2 items worth 10 tickets for 9 b/c that's all I had left. I had the "Have your cake and eat it too" (aka cake batter ice cream) and a "Nitro Pop". Neither really all that special.

I was intrigued when visiting the Galleria to quickly pay some bills. Located on the second floor right outside of Macy's, it's worth to stop even just to watch and to be amazed. Three employees where quickly moving around the little shop amist a gathering of people just as curious as I was. The large tanks of nitrogen were spouting the gas and the ice cream creators were quickly stirring the concoction as the ohhs and ahhs were being heard. You could either get a flavor of nitro cream and add your own toppings or there is also a list of sundae-like menu options. Flavors like vanilla, chocolate, mint, strawberry, cake batter, pitschao, and coffee were options. The saying of Go big or go home flashed in my mind. So I ended up going with Nitro Mike's Fav which was cake batter ice cream with cookie dough, peanut butter mixed it. The ice cream was very creamy and yet seemed a little less heavy than a typical Perry's offering. The price ended up being just over $6 with tax. They apparently also catering at special events like weddings and birthdays which is a pretty cool idea. The employee who made my order also mentioned that more franchises are coming. But right now they are only at the Walden Galleria mall. As much of a haven of canadiens that the Galleria has become, I feel I'll bear it to have some more of their ice cream!

It's also fun to wander around eyeing all the candies and chocolates... excellent gift ideas. On this visit, my daughter and I split a large Arctic swirl with brownies pieces and swapped the vanilla custard for eggnog. Best decision I've made all season, no regrets! The only tiny downside: the signs. So. Many. Signs. Rules everywhere--no ice cream in the chocolate area, carry a basket so nothing melts or breaks, no glass outside, clean your trays, etc. I get it (I, too, am a bit of a control freak), but it does start to feel like ice cream comes with a user manual. That said, clearly they've been burned before... or maybe I just recognize my own people. Either way, worth it for the custard alone. And make sure you plan to go right home. This way, you can buy some of their hard ice cream to keep in your freezer.
