The Story

The scent of sugar cones and sweet cream greeted us like an old friend, filling the air with happy anticipation in that charming retro parlor. Bright red stools and checkered floors made the perfect backdrop for savoring a generous scoop of handcrafted goodness. Each lick of Horatio's rich, homemade ice cream tasted like a summer afternoon perfected, right here in the heart of Custer.

    Very delicious ice cream, and the waffle cone was perfect! Two scoops and a waffle cone for $8, and more than enough to share! The vanilla was the best vanilla I've ever had! The sage pecan was good, too!

    Five stars isn't enough. Absolutely the best ice cream place ever! My wife had the best chocolate and I had amazing berry blend sherbet. All homemade and the homemade waffle cones are delicious, too. We were passing through (from Nebraska) and have never tasted better ice cream in our lives.

    The ice cream and homemade waffles is phenomenal! I had the Amaretto Crunch and was afraid it would have a strong cherry taste but it didn’t not. It was the best ice cream I have had in a very long time. My husband and daughter had the coffee and loved it as well.

    I love the history of the building and that it used to be a bank. The employees were really nice too. My husband and daughter got the Twinkie ice cream and my son got chocolate. I got a hot fudge sundae, but they were pretty stingy with the hot fudge. I thought they forgot it, but they assured me it was there. Turns out there was a tiny amount underneath the ice cream. I really liked the peanuts on the sundae, but it desperately needed fudge, not the trickle of chocolate sauce hiding underneath. My kids and husband were satisfied with their ice cream though.
