If you find yourself in the southern Alexandria neighborhood of Belle Haven, make sure to stop by Custard Shack, a small roadside stand dishing up big flavors worth waiting for. Opening nearly a decade ago, this charming walk-up custard shop is the perfect place to end your summer evening with something cold and sweet.
What sets custard apart from ice cream? It’s richer, smoother, and thicker. Custard Shack makes all of its custard and sorbet flavors fresh every day, offering classics like vanilla and chocolate, as well as unique creations like caramel banana and mocha. You can enjoy your custard in cups, cones, sundaes, floats, or go big with a banana split or brownie sundae, featuring their homemade fudge brownies.
For dog lovers, Custard Shack has you covered with puppy pops for your furry friend. While it’s a walk-up establishment, a few picnic tables are available to sit and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.
Staffed by friendly local high school students, this nostalgic roadside shack radiates warmth. The combination of delicious custard, friendly service, and a retro vibe makes Custard Shack a must-visit for anyone in need of a scoop of happiness.
