Being from Chi-town, I’ve missed having an occasional smooth-like silk vanilla custard. Today, I stopped by the Freckles Custard Shop at 81st& Sheridan, it’s actually on 81st across from the Walmarket. Anyway, I went in and had a small vanilla custard, as is — no add’l flavoring or toppings. I just wanted to taste their custard. The smaller size, had 2 scoops and for $ 2.65 was all I needed. It was smooth and flavorful. Christie, the manager, told me they’ve been open at this location since October, 2013. I know they’ve closed a number of locations around town. She also let me sample the chocolate — which was quite good, and an orangy flavor they call«Dreamsicle» which was refreshingly good. They offer a number of custard-based treats, here’s a link for you guys to check out:
