I dont live near here. Grabbed a dozen to go. Plenty of selections there: had some angel cream longjohns, which were tasty. Chocolate frosted, and chocolate cake. Also had a old fashioned.

Great deal considering the value of the chocolate long John and a yummy blackberry filled. The place has plenty of seating. Coffee is hot and strong, perfect on a winter day. The shop has a deli too with salad, soups and sandwiches. Will try one of those on another day!

Oh but let me tell you, it's so much more than that. I've come to find out true history of this beautiful little town, and this stand. The Custard Stand, since 1949 it was built and founded right there on that corner, imagine the history the building could talk about. And let me say, it had a line the entire time I was there, and drove back by again a day later. They offer wonderful, ice cream, floats, sundaes, all the true desert things we all come to love. But they also had an extensive menu with salads, chili, even hotdogs, etc. truly a little amazing gem right in the heart of tiny little Sesser. Prices are absolutely amazing, $10 bucks a family of 4 can quite literally all get a tiny ice cream. It was thick, great ice cream too, my root beer float was very good. Hot days here, and you'll catch me in line time and time again. Thank you little Custard Stand, I'll be back.
