Arrived a C-sue 1840 hrs and they were busy. As always the custard was very good, the toppings were alittle short and the seating was limited. In short a bit more toppings and more picnic tables would be appreciated by all.

We were out of town and looked up local ice cream shop. So glad we went to check it out. Fantastic outside atmosphere with games and seating. The custard was absolutely delicious and the owner was very nice. Highly recommend and will drive 2 hours to go back.

We randomly came across Custard by C-Sue on a roadtrip and were pleasantly surprised! Custard was delicious, C Sue was so nice and kind, and the location was adorable. We tried the CSue (SO GOOD and not usually anything I would gravitate towards) and the S’Mores (a non-traditional take on smores with chocolate ice cream). Five stars all around! Would definitely come back if we’re in the area again.

Cute outdoor custard stand. They have tables with umbrellas and a game of corn hole. The custard is fresh, and there are many options for concretes and sundaes. Open every day, too!
