We live in Athens and we have a Sunday home made ice cream, frozen yogurt/ Custard roadie to find what we think is the best. Southern Custard's flavor of the day this past Sunday was mint chip which is a family favorite. Intense flavor,silky creamy and filled with lovely chocolate chips. It was well worth the three hours driving round trip. Highly recommend you give them a try. Stay well.... read more

Hand down the best custard in town. They alway have chocolate and vanilla and a flavor of the day. You can check flavors of the day on their website. Service is ok. The young staffs is always messed up when check out my order. They can't tell if the order is small or medium and just charged. During St Patrick day, my husband and I stopped by for some treat. They were having lucky charms flavor and lucky charms topping. First, she picked up the cone with no napkins While scooping my custard, the lady just dipped her hand in the lucky charm topping bucket and popped them in her mouth. Most of the time, my experience was good, except that one day. read more

I definitely recommend this hidden gem! I came here for the first time the other day and the owner immediately greeted us and game us a overview for all the products they offer. Unfortunately we came an hour before closing and they were out of the flavor of the day and the chocolate. However I chose to get the poffertjes which are mini pancakes (8) with two scoops of vanilla frozen custard, hot fudge and powdered sugar on top and it was divine!! The quality of their frozen custard is great (however I do think Andy's is a bit better). However the options they have with their new flavors is definitely a plus! They have a new frozen custard flavor every day alongside their standard chocolate and vanilla. I am planning to come back to try their pistachio rose this month! read more

Southern Custard - Poffertjes - Desserts Near Me - Brookhaven, Georgia

This place is incredible. Love that they do a different flavor everyday but honestly I always order Chocolate every time haha. The flavors are extensive though and if you catch them on the right day you can get some very interesting stuff as the dessert chef is quite experimental. I've seen some fantastic creations. You can check their online calendar for what is in the works. As for the custard itself, it's divine. Definitely come here if you have a hankering for a decadent, frozen treat. read more

We visit every time we come Brookhaven. The ice cream flavors are so rich and full of flavor. I love that they rotate a new flavor in everyday. Coffee, cookie dough and red,white and blue were the flavors we had this visit. Delicious!! Great customer service too. read more

I love this place for so many reasons. The owner and staff are always friendly and the frozen custard is out of this world. The rotational flavors are whimsical flavor creations ! If you want to make any day better get an affagato here...if you want to make the week better time the trip when they have the Baileys rotational flavor. It is the best in Atlanta. read more

THE CREAMIEST ICECREAM IVE EVER HAD. They only have three flavors but every single one is soooo bomb. The icecream is rich and creamy. It wasn't too sweet. They greet you right when you walk in and they explain to you everything you need to know. They give you samples so you can choose which you like best. They change their third flavor everyday but they have vanilla and chocolate as a staple. I highly recommend them and they even have pints for sale with different flavors! read more

Southern Custard - Oreo sundae - Desserts Near Me - Brookhaven, Georgia

I can't believe I haven't tried this place yet until now! My bf and I just finished up dinner at Pure taqueria and wanted some dessert. We were actually about to go to another place but realized there was this little "custard" shop I never noticed until today so we did a 360 degree turn back into the shopping center to try this place! The employees were so friendly and explained all the products they have. They also weren't stingy at all with their sample of their featured flavor of the day. I love the variety of custard products they have! Some may just think "oh only 3 flavors?" But that's just their scoop custard! You can make literally any other flavor you want on their "concretes", which is basically a DQ blizzard. We ended up getting each a chocolate and a vanilla adffogato ($5) and I got two of their prepared pints togo to take home! Their espresso is STRONG, exactly how affogatos should be. I'm so glad I tried this little neighborhood hidden gem out! Will definitely be returning! read more

I've said it before and I'm saying it again Frozen custard is underrated. A month or so ago I discovered that there was a frozen custard spot right in my backyard in Brookhaven at @southerncustard and I finally got to try it a few weeks back. Sadly my standard chocolate frozen custard was unavailable but I did go ahead and get the vanilla cone with chocolate sprinkles and it definitely hit. Let's deep dive on why: 1. Consistency: this custard is velvety smooth, thick and rich. It's exactly for these reasons why frozen custard is so awesome 2. Flavor: I'm more of a chocolate guy but this vanilla was subtle but sweet 3. Topping: the last frozen custard place I went to gave me the sprinkles on the side but these guys dip it straight in the sprinkles leading to great coverage and a slight crunch when you bite into the custard Next time you want frozen custard and you're in the brookhaven area, this is your spot! read more

I work out hard all week, forego other sweets, eat extra salads and pray twice a day just so when my husband gives me "that" look I know I won't feel guilty when we indulge in Southern Custard! This is quite simply the most delicious and decadent sweet treat out there - you can't even debase it by calling it ice cream, it is SO much more! They have two main flavors every day - vanilla and chocolate, and then they rotate a different unique flavor every day (make sure you try these - they are INSANELY tasty). You can also buy pints of the custard to take home, in case you want to wake up in the middle of the night, wander down to your freezer, and get caught shoveling spoonfuls of magic down your throat. Great parking since it is in a plaza - located in the block of shops near Marlow's. They have plenty of outdoor seating so bring your kids, your dog, your neighbor, and your grandma - this is something special you will want to share. The options for how you order your custard are endless - sundaes, malts, concretes, floats, affogatos. You can't go wrong with Southern Custard - go give it a try! read more

Went in and got a scoop of chocolate (they do flavors of the day made in house) but took a half pint home of some leftover they sell. This Oreo coffee is quote from my ice cream loving boyfriend "arguably one of the best bites of ice cream ever". So if there flavor of the day doesn't suit you, get some half pints of a flavor you'd want. WoOoOw so good read more

This is a gem of a place. The frozen custards come pre-packed (check out the calendar for specific daily offerings) or can be scooped up from the case for immediate consumption. The richness of the product is second to none and is most flavorful. The feeling of the frozen custard as it traverses the tongue toward the back of throat is most satisfactory. A great after dinner choice for a yummy and memorable treat. read more

Thick and delicious frozen custard awaits at Southern Custard. Cute little space that reminds of an old school ice cream shop. The service was warm, friendly, and helpful. Great place for families! read more

Too bad the original hours on here were false. I would have loved a late night ice cream spot - and I honestly don't know why people haven't thought of it before. The real hours are 12 NOON (not midnight) until 10pm. Brookhaven really is blossoming. I'm always down for more dessert options, especially if it involves ice cream or custard. Honestly, I'm not an expert and I don't know the difference, although I know I should. I came for a midday snack and walked in to find it relatively mild. It wasn't super busy, but I also wasn't concerned that they were lacking customers. I ordered the mini Dutch pancakes, or poffertjes, with cookie dough custard. They were deliciously hot and perfect with the icy cold custard. It's definitely a different kind of sweet snack that I haven't seen in the Atlanta desserts scene, so I found it unique and worth a small drive for! They also have a nice and expensive looking espresso maker - so try the affogato! The custard pour over is on point. Overall, I'm excited for the introduction of Southern Custard to the Brookhaven area. Since I'm always passing through here, you'll see me back soon enough! read more

We were looking for a late evening sweet treat and landed here! Great choice, especially since the temps of summer haven't released their grip yet. It was busy but the lane moved rapidly. It's a pretty basic menu and the flavors offered are only vanilla, chocolate and a flavor of the day. In our case this was Cookie Monster. Having read about the poffertjes(these mini-pancakes) I was intrigued and went with those. They cook them for your order on a special griddle with small pockets for the batter. This includes flipping them mid way! I didn't understand how the poffertjes were used but they are basically on the side of your custard. We took Caramel sauce on top which was a great option! The poffertjes were perfect for sopping up melted deliciousness and caramel off the bottom of the little serving dish. Small comes with 6 of the tiny pancakes and a scoop of custard. It was a great size! They have a calendar posted with upcoming flavors throughout the month and they are not afraid of venturing in to some bold flavor territory. Put it on the list! This really satisfied that sweet treat hankering! read more

This ice cream shop is in the same lot as a donut shop, so basically it's a parking lot for sugar addicts. Upon coming in I was greeted warmly by the worker, and he was a very nice and helpful individual throughout the ordering process. That day they had vanilla, chocolate, and peanut butter ice cream flavors when I arrived. He let me try samples of the ones I was interested in, and they were very creamy and rich. I like my vanilla to have a little more of a punch, but the chocolate was very decadent. I also appreciated the worker did half scoops for me so I could enjoy both flavors. I tried out the dutch pancakes to go with the ice-cream since it was something different. Honestly when I looked at pictures before coming I totally thought they were serving something closer to a funnel cake. I would have preferred this. If you like pancakes you will love these, I just am not super fond of them to begin with. My biggest issue was the salted caramel I got on top just tasted like basic lackluster caramel. I was hoping for that salty note to contrast all the sweet, and when it went in the pancakes it almost tasted syrupy. Also if you like toppings the price can add up fast here. Overall the creamy texture of the ice-cream is lovely but needs a lot of toppings to make it exciting. I think I would like it in something like a banana split. If it was more economical to add toppings I might consider it again. In addition, since their signature special dutch pancake just was not for me, there was nothing that stood out as unique that spoke to my taste buds that would send me running back constantly due to cravings. I wanted to give it higher stars since I enjoyed the people so much, it just was not for me, but I can see it being a great niche that others will enjoy. read more

I LOVED the Oreo custard I got from here! I was already a fan of frozen custard, but other custard places I've been to just sprinkled toppings on the top. I think blending the toppings into the custard makes it so much better! The location looked new and clean, and the service was awesome. For safety, they only allow people to eat at the outdoor tables, which I appreciated. Will definitely be back for more blended frozen custard! read more

So glad to have stumbled across this place when I was craving for something sweet after dinner. Since I am lactose, I ordered the strawberry sorbet topped with peanuts for some crunch and texture. The sorbet might be overly sweet for me but the saltiness of the peanuts balanced out the flavors. The two guys working were very nice and friendly! read more

This was an amazing experience. I don't remember the gentleman's name, but he was very personable and had a warm smile as he chatted back with us!

Check out their Facebook page for flavor of the day, in addition to the vanilla and chocolate. It was my lucky day when the special flavor was coconut. I got 2 scoops in a cup, and it was a delicious treat! Very rich and creamy texture, maybe a hair less freezing than ice cream. I loved it, and look forward to coming back. read more

I absolutely love this place. People complaining about lack of flavors or the price clearly don't understand what goes into creating a quality product. If you want cheap and flavors filled with preservatives, go to a chain ice cream shop rather than supporting a local business. Everyone is incredibly friendly and it's quite obvious that the employees are treated well. The shop is always impeccably clean, and the flavors which are clearly made of the highest quality sources ingredients are amazing. read more

Tasty freshly made frozen custard. Menu is limited to chocolate , vanilla , and flavor of the day... they may have also had strawberry but I can't remember. Lots of topping options. They also have blended drinks and offer pints to go as well. Worth trying if you want a flavorful treat. They also hand-make the waffle cones which is nice. read more

Southern Custard - Waffle cone Heath bar - Desserts Near Me - Brookhaven, Georgia

I ordered the 8 oz double vanilla scoop in a waffle cone topped with strawberries. The custard is creamy and has that old fashioned taste I was craving for. Since my mama used to make custard from scratch, I definitely know what it should be, and they did not disappoint. Now, listen, custard is not designed to be like ice cream with all of these 31 flavors, it is custard. You choose between either vanilla or chocolate AND THAT is ALL! I topped mine with strawberries the only issue I have is that the strawberries were not fresh; they were frozen. It would be great if they could make their own berry preserves for later use. That is why they lost a star, but again, the custard is great and it's a great treat on a hot steamy day. read more

I am always ranting and raving about the shortage of good ice cream (and custard in particular) in Atlanta. Happy to say that this place is legit, and I will return often (would return more often if it wasn't a bit of a hike, but what can you do?)! They have good old-fashioned custard - vanilla and chocolate every day, and a third flavor of the day. I had the flavor of the day called Cookie Monster, which was vanilla custard with crushed oreos and cookie dough. It was not the best custard I've had in my life, but it was very good, and definitely compares with my other favorite frozen dessert in Atlanta - Butter and Cream. So glad this place exists! read more

So when it comes to custard in Georgia there is only one place I recommend. Sadly this isn't it. It's a very limited selection of custard that being chocolate or vanilla. Now Im sure that it is fresh because they pretty much make batches as they go. However is it the creamiest and savory custard. Not really. Are the topping options out this world. No. Pretty generic actually. All in all in a pinch I'm sure this place will do. For me. It's ehh. Nothing amazing. Not even an attempt to reinvent the wheel here. But hey some people may like that simplicity. read more

I LOVE Southern Custard! They have become my go-to place whenever we 'need' a sweet treat. They serve premium custard with a variety of toppings along with espresso and other coffee drinks. What's unique is they always serve vanilla and chocolate plus a flavor of the day. I enjoy checking the calendar on their website to see what flavor they are serving, or which ones they served the previous few days to see if I should stop in and grab a pint or two. There are 4 to 5 tables outside if you'd like to enjoy your treat while you are there. I also stop by and pick up a pint on the way to friend's houses when asked to bring a dessert! read more

Perfect sweet treat to end your day! Smooth, soft, velvety frozen custard. We ordered a vanilla, and a chocolate. They have a third flavor which they change as their daily special, and it was a caramel and coffee flavored one, which was also very good. But we just preferred the original vanilla and chocolate. And also got those mini pancakes, so freaking good! Can't wait to go back to this place when I'm back in town. read more

Oh this was not a place I needed to know existed! Because of the down right deliciousness! How will I ever resist the temptation for this creamy, smooth, totally satisfying yet not too heavy dessert? Oh well, I will deal with that dilemma another day! Today I will just enjoy a sweet, cool satisfying treat to end Birthday Week! This amazing concoction is the child of Matt and Heather who open their doors 1 1/2 years ago and opened our collective southern taste buds to - mid-western delight. Vanilla, chocolate and a specialty flavor are made in-house daily. You can top it, take it as a shake,make it mobile in a waffle cone or dish or as an affagoto splashed with espresso...Yes! They have other coffees as well. **Fruit is fresh as toppings or as included in the custard specialties. I had the chocolate which Matt described as having a hint of espresso and wow it was amazing and the daily speciality flavor - Peaches & Cream, with baked peaches! My husband, who sadly is unable to consume lactose, had a scoop of peach and raspberry sorbet and was amazed! For once I didn't feel guilty about my lactose-toleration ability! Other notes: they offer prepackaged half pints to go along with whole pies or slices. Give them two days for your pie order - they have some traditional options or a little bit more for a special order, this will be taken to the next family gathering! Location is in the shopping plaza adjacent to Marlow's Tavern therefore parking is free. The space is open and seating is from tables of two to six. I was impressed with their attention to cleanliness even the bathroom - one for all. Now go out there and try this amazing custard! read more

I get the same thing every time: poffertjes with vanilla custard and strawberry topping. I may have gotten this once with peaches last summer. You can get all kinds of toppings, like Oreos, waffle cone pieces, M&Ms, and various other cookies and candies. I'm not into these things in my ice cream. No brownies, no chocolate chip cookies, Butterfingers. Just fruit sometimes and maybe a generous dollop of whipped cream, if it's made in-house. It's almost freezing out tonight and the three of us had dinner nearby and I still wanted some frozen custard. The service is warm and the space is modern with beautiful (heavy) wooden chairs. (Unimportant but funky: Coincidentally, we have a light fixture just like the ones they have in the front.) I had to unbutton my jeans for the ride home, but damn, it was worth it. The vanilla frozen custard is silky and decadent. The Dutch-style mini-pancakes are perfectly springy and just the right amount of sweetness to complement your eggy scoop of ice cream. I'm thinking we'll take AT's family here when they visit the States for the first time ever! Let's see what they say about it, compared to French glace. read more
