Delicious custard - I had the Gizmo with pistachios. Numerous options. Plus they have a bunch of hot dog options.

Usually they have decent ice cream except for when I order a fudge brownie bliss and barely get any brownie or when I got a cone today. As I was eating and got to the cone, I noticed some paper inside. Apparently, whoever fixed my cone, left a cone inside of another cone. If I wasn't paying attention, I would've eaten some paper along with the ice cream!

(yes I took a few bites before I realized the toppings didn't slide to the bottom, they just weren't there). This place used to be amazing. Ever since they doubled their prices, and reduced their employee pay from $15 per hour down to minimum wage despite the price increase and economy struggle, this place has gone to shit. Work ethic is garbage, they've become insanely stingy with their toppings. Paying $8 for a banana split should get me more than four little strawberries, and they never put cherries on their Sundays anymore. In this economy, it sucks worrying if I'm going to just waste money here. $8 is a lot now, it feels like $8 is more expensive now than it was 5 years ago. Greed is a killer, I hope another custard shop opens in town that we can take our business to, until then, I'm done with custard. Also: their email is pointless, they lie to you and give you an email to "make it right!!!" just to give you a place to complain to with no response. I tried contacting them some months back about an issue, no response for weeks. I called the main location in Cruces and they gave me attitude telling me to "just wait and they'll get back to you". This was almost a year ago, I never got a response. They don't care about us as customers, or their employees, and it shows.
