FINALLY A PLACE THAT DOES IT RIGHT I know it’s not technically ice cream but I have been searching for a place that does cookies and cream properly. I get so disappointed when I get a cookies and cream ice cream or any along those lines and it just taste like vanilla. Nothing wrong with a GOOD vanilla but I’ve been highly disappointed with Dairy Zone lately and I always pay for extra Oreo and they don’t give it to me. I told them one time I wanted to split one with my son and I’d pay for the extra Oreos and cup but they told me no. Went again and I got a tornado where the top was a little bit of Oreo and the rest vanilla, so I don’t get it anymore. But FROZEN CUSTARD!!! MAN!! You have it FIGURED OUT. 1,000/10. Thank you for doing the cookies and cream justice. You win.

Absolutely amazing! Went my first time today. Great selection of ice cream. I will tell you the prices are pretty high compared to other places but you get a lot for what you pay for! The ice cream (custard) doesnt melt as fast as other shops so you will have time to enjoy it. From a fat guy to you, get the smaller size, you will regret it if you can't eat it and it goes to waste lol that or prepare to be amazed at what they hand you if you don't listen. This is completely different consistency of ice cream than DZ, DQ, or granny's but I enjoyed this place more.

Top notch- quality, value, service! While this place may look sketchy at first glance- it always has a steady flow of customers there’s a great reason for that! Their portions and the cost cannot be beat anywhere. The taste is superb! The staff was very friendly and we received our order very quickly, despite them being busy. My kids got different flavors of custard in cones- birthday cake, caramel cashew - they were very good! I got a peanut butter fudge malt with brownie mixed in- which was arguably the best in its class I’ve ever had- and I’ve had a lot! I will certainly return with my family and recommend you give them a try- you won’t regret it!

The ice cream was delicious and I really enjoyed the flavor. However, the experience was frustrating because the spoon was very flimsy, making it difficult to eat. I would recommend that management upgrade the utensils, as it takes away from an otherwise great product. I may bring my own spoon on my next visit, but I’d be happy to give a higher rating if this issue is resolved.
