Abbott’s Frozen Custard

Ok. We wanted to try this place. The one closer to our place on Park Ave is a pain in the ass to park. So we found this place, it’s in a strip mall if I did not know where it was I would have drove past it, no signage to know where it was other than photos on Unilocal.But this is minor… We went in, it’s a small place, the staff was nice and accommodating they gave us samples so we could figure out what we would like to have. It was yummy and I can’t wait to try more custard. You can get cakes and pint sized versions of custard as well. Lots of locations. Give them a shot, they have plenty of parking and they have lawn chairs in the parking lot to chill out. Enjoy…

This location has the best chip wheels of any other Abbott’s that I have been too.

What do you mean I’m addicted to custard? I don’t know what you’re talking abbott. If you keep insinuating such things I’m going to have you arrested and kept in custardy for abbott 5 years. 5 years is abbott how long it’s been since I first tried this custard (at the Buffalo location) and I loved it then more than I’d ever loved custard before, and I love it now more than I did then.
What to get: Vanilla Custard.
What else: Raspberry Sorbet, and my number.
This is the cutest little location of Abbott’s. It’s across from Yolickity, round the back of the street in a little hidden strip mall, and it’s not really easy to find. It’s tiny inside (like this girl I know), and the two girls working in there are super cute, super attentive and super friendly.
I decided to break from my custardian traditions and give the Raspberry Sorbet a try. $ 3 for a pretty large baby size. It was extremely sweet, very cold and fruity and refreshing on a hot day. Most of all, it was absolutely delicious! I’d definitely get it again, especially if they have other sorbet flavours I can try some time. Extremely impressed.
What I like about this location other than how cute and tiny and friendly it is, is how underrated and out of the way it is. It’s so quiet and hardly anyone comes here. It breaks my heart and makes me want to keep coming back even though I have a much more popular and frequented favourite location elsewhere.
I also like that they have chairs literally in the parking lot, to give people a place to sit and eat. Well done for elaborating on meager surroundings. Full marks for innovation and improvisation (thanks to Suadal for that) and it adds a little something to this place.
The only thing I didn’t like was the cone… it tasted a little stale unfortunately, probably because they don’t do much business compared to other locations. But they still get a 5 star from me.
I wouldn’t put it up there with my fave 5-​star Abbott’s… the best one I’ve been to is in Henrietta, I wrote a 5-​star review of it, it’s the 1225 Jefferson Rd location. Amazing interior, amazing fresh custard with very fresh-​tasting cones, good service, generous portions, and plus they told me they’d kill me if I didn’t say this.
As for the typical Abbott’s remarks — Abbotts/​Bill Grays usualy share space like Taco Bell/​KFC do in many places. But not at this location, which is just AbFab.
It’s one of my «best 5 custards I’ve ever had.» I think I like custard more than ice cream, more than fro yo, less than real gelato. For custard specifically, which is sort of like soft-​serve-​but-​creamier, the best in the country are Leon’s in Milwaukee and Nielsen’s in Vienna, VA, and then Abbott’s in 3^rd.
Come here and spoil yourself. It’s not at all boring or miserable to get custard from here. If it was, it’d be called Drabbotts. But it isn’t, nor should it be.

Stopped in when I was in the neighborhood, hadn’t had a Chocolate Almond custard since I moved away in the spring. Talked with the owner, very friendly and conversational. Great experience!

Love this location of Abbott’s. I love that it’s open all year. Kind of wish they had indoor seating, especially when I’m sitting on the snowy bench outside in January, but that’s what pints are for! The only bad thing about this place is that the custard will melt down your hand and arm if you let it, so you better eat it quickly or get it in a dish.

We average a trip a week to this location between May and September. My wife would be happy to go more frequently, but she admits that it is nicer to have frozen custard (not ice cream) as a treat. We enjoy the sundaes the most; peanut butter cup is probably my favorite. The employees are always friendly. Recently, when the owner was working, we inquired about how they rotate the special flavors on the menu and he said if we called a day before he would take a request. In the winter (this location is open year around) I’ll stop in and pick up a pint from time to time so we can satisfy our Abbott’s cravings.
