Original Frozen Custard

This place is s hidden treasure. The custard is amazing and creamy, and the favors are rich and utterly wonderful.

We always love coming hear. It’s been a fantastic stop from when I was a kid until now. We live in Indy now but it’s always on our list of places to stop when in Lafayette. Easy parking and easy on and out. Perfect place for the family after visiting Columbian park or before or during?.

Went by their drive through on a Saturday afternoon. Pretty decent line of cars, perhaps waited around 5-10 minutes to put our order in and get our custard, so not too bad. Employees had face coverings on (much appreciated!).

I tried their soggy bottom, which is basically vanilla custard, with peanut butter sauce and crushed oreos at the bottom. Portions are big. Prices are very reasonable. There was plenty of peanut butter on there (maybe a little too much?) and not enough oreos :( but the flavors were good. They use the environmentally hazardous styrofoam type dishes which was really disappointing to see. Overall, a pretty average experience.

In response to what the owner has posted:
Thank you for taking the time to reply to my review. I really appreciate that.

It's good IF the styrofoam is being recycled. But this is only if the customer makes the effort to dispose of the containers in a recycling bin. Styrofoam is a petroleum based product. Thus, its production and destruction (in landfills) is toxic to the environment. When exposed to certain levels of sun, it can burn releasing toxic chemicals into the air. Even hot liquids and foods can cause the partial breakdown of styrofoam, causing us to ingest harmful toxins.
There are some wonderful new materials out on the market that do not exact a toll on the environment or humans in its production or in its disposal (whether they are recycled or not!).

We ordered an orange ice drink and a root beer float. The service was great and the employees were friendly, but I didn't like the taste of the custard or the drink. The orange drink tasted like cough syrup and the custard tasted malty and left a filmy aftertaste. I've had custard before and wasn't expecting it to taste that way. Maybe I got a bad batch? I plan to go again to give it another try since everyone has been raving about their custard for as long as I can remember and they did have great, speedy, friendly service.
