Abbott’s Frozen Custard

The best milkshakes I’ve tried ever ! The banana strawberry is awesome and vanilla chocolate pistachios ice cream is so good, so creamy!!!

Not a ton of flavors at the end of the day (post dinner) but still enough for you to try a few get get a few or get an ice cream sandwich which I wish I tried. So smooth, so creamy.

Having family in Rochester, I think I’m a little biased, but I absolutely love Abbott’s. Custard is definitely different from ice cream, and is just amazing. In general, I think the more simple you make your custard choice, the better it will be. My personal favorite is the chocolate almond. Super creamy with a little bit of crunch. However, I really like that this location is getting a little creative with flavors and infusing them with beer. I usually try the new flavors every time I go in, and they are all delicious. If you want to try something a little different, get a turtle. They are custard, hot fudge, and spanish peanuts, which add a nice salty crunch. You pretty much can’t go wrong with anything you order here.

Frozen custard is the best. It’s not gelato, not froyo, or soft serve. Well, it’s like soft serve, but it’s not that. It’s this dairy dessert full of flavor and super thick in consistency. I got a chocolate almond one topped with oreos. After Scoville-​in’ it up at MDM, we needed some sweetness.
Custard was tasty. I got mine in a cup cuz I’m clumsy. There, I said it. Or maybe this was noticed before. Oh well. It was very yummy, and if I’m in the area and want some Abbott’s, I’ll drop in :) Maybe next time I’ll get a cone…
…and then flip it upside down in a cup ;-)

This frosty dessert is no yolk, or all yolk. My freshly fat-​coated tongue votes the latter.
Abbott’s is a little airier than the reigning champ of frocus — BR of Woodbridge VA — yet still weighs heavy on the taste buds. Rich and light, like mayo in a centrifuge, and just as slick with the mouthfeel. My fresh strawberry was not overly sweet (butterscotch, you’re saccharine bro), and I appreciate the actual fruit flavor, but after a few licks, I couldn’t taste anything except cold.
A small is plenty, and will run you just over four bones — unless you opt for a waffle cone (dipped and plain avail) which ups the ante another buck. Frozen dipped bananas, cookiewiches and pints on the fly also available.
I’m not going out of my way for a return trip, but I wouldn’t stop the squad if they wanted to cause a little frocus. Which they likely will…
…
Because they’ve got no chill. (See youngsters, I’m with it!)

Great custard around the neighborhood.
They have a variety of toppings and sundaes are personalized! Yummm!
Also, they have a box that’s marked «sundae survival kit» which I wish I had tried!

So, I am not usually a fan of ice cream or frozen custard but after dinner last night, my girlfriend and I walked over to Abbotts to get something sweet! When we walked in, it was nice and quiet but I liked it because not only was it quiet, it felt like an ice cream store. It did not SCREAM ice cream but it was store appropriate.
The lady at the counter was very welcoming and said that we could try any flavor we want! Of course, my girlfriend and I tried the cake batter ice cream and loved it! We just each got a scoop and then got toppings on it. I, of course got the Reese toppings and Sarah got the Oreo cookie topping.
It was very reasonable too! It came to $ 7 and change for the both of us and we tipped the girl as well. She was super sweet and friendly!

First off they are #therealmvp for being open til 10 on a Sunday.
The list of ice creams for that day were simple but enough. This is actually the first time trying frozen custard and man was I excited. I ordered a pint of chocolate and asked if I could add topping. The girl not only added toppings but also put them in the middle. I ran home and ate the entire pint. Clear to say I WILL definitely be back.
I also cannot wait to order the sundae party pack.
#blessed For living so close to this gem.

Abbott’s has a great variety of flavors, we tried them all before choosing a chocolate and black rasberry cone and a chocolate almond and vanilla cone. The black rasberry was unexpectedly good and the chocolate almond was the perfect combination of sweet and salty. Very good custard. Very friendly staff with a local neighborhood feel.

Simple selection but it’s so good. Even the vanilla is surprisingly good. Plus all the odd little deserts you can get like cookie sandwiches, turtles, mini pies, etc are great options.

I grew up eating frozen custard, so I was delighted to discover that I lived fairly close to a frozen custard place. For those of you who have never had frozen custard, it is best described as a thick & creamy soft serve. If you have never experienced frozen custard, I highly recommend trying it; you won’t regret it.
The frozen custard at Abbott’s is delicious. As others have noted, there is not a large selection of flavors, but you can add any number of toppings to your custard in order to customize it & alter the taste.
The staff at Abbott’s is also friendly. I came in a couple minutes to closing one night, & the employee warmly greeted me & took my order.
Tidbits:
–I recommend trying the chocolate frozen custard — it has just the right amount of chocolate flavor without being too rich.

The texture and creaminess of the custard were spot on, however my «salty caramel» didn’t really taste salty or very caramel-​ey and the «hot fudge» on top was not hot and the consistency was pretty off putting. I would definitely come back to try other flavors when in the area, however.

I was pleasantly surprised to see this in the Boston area when I moved. Since I went to school in Rochester, I had been to Abbott’s many many times and loved it. And now it’s so close… very dangerous.
First lesson, custard is not ice cream people, it’s a whole new experience. Imagine a very thick creamy soft serve if you will, but with even more flavor and more creaminess. Super delicious and rich. If you like ice cream… you’ll love it, possibly even more than ice cream.
Go with the chocolate almond for your first trip to Abbott’s, it’s their claim to fame. Can’t say I’m not to try pumpkin this fall season though! I’ve never had a flavor I didn’t like.
While the custard is AMAZING, I can’t say the same for their customer service… the employees seem quite miserable and aren’t exactly happy to take your order.

Tried the salty caramel but settled on the Oreo fudge cheesecake. Mmmmm delicious! Best custard I’ve had in a long time and staff was super friendly!

Pricey for custard that barely has any flavor.
Tried the salty caramel… bland.
Tried the pistachio… barely the pistachio flavor (was also turned off by the green food coloring)
Service is good and it’s in a great location… if you’re waiting for that 86 bus and it’s taking forever, come on over. Other than that, keep it moving.

It’s summer, and I’m making the frozen treat rounds.
Abbott’s Frozen Custard = Wowz. I LOVED IT.
My colleague, who hails from Rochester, told me I had to try this place when she found out I was moving to Brighton. I selected the Oreo Cheesecake flavor. It was so delicious! Lots of cookie pieces and the custard was beyond tasty. Rich and creamy and everything I wanted for a Thursday evening treat.
The service was great– the women were very friendly. Sure, the place isn’t super cozy or hip, but I’m there for the custard not the décor. Plus, it’s summer, I’ll take my custard on the road to a park bench. I’ll definitely be back.

Meh.
With all the new ice cream/​custard/​froyo places around, I think Abbott’s is stuck in the past. I love innovation and new concepts, and I feel like this is the place for you if you like traditional, old style ice cream.
Their flavors are very standard: vanilla, oreo, coffee, etc. I ordered the chocolate almond, which was actually pretty good. The consistency is creamy and very rich, but since I got it on a cone it was melting the minute I started eating it. It was a hot day, but we were eating our ice cream inside. You can see how melted the ice cream was even before I ate it in the picture I posted!
Also, the workers were not that friendly and seemed annoyed when I wanted to try different flavors. Sorry, but I need to taste the flavors before I commit to one, honey.
I hope they come out with cooler flavors for the summer. I don’t know if I’d come back.

Now, to be clear, I only ever set foot inside this place because I don’t have a JP Licks in walking distance.
That said, they impressed. The fudge brownie sundae is bomb.

The kiddie cup is all your kids need. Both of my kids only ate half of the kiddie cup before they were full. They tried the strawberry and chocolate and liked it. The service was great.
Good place for custard after getting a bite to eat at one of the other local spots.

What makes frozen custard so tastily different from frozen yogurt, ice cream or gelato? I was about to find out.
I was walking through the streets of Brighton one day, and I kept wondering if this place is good, since I never heard of frozen custard before. I had custard pies before and I also love crème brûlée, since it also has tasty custard in it. I started sampling a few flavors, the vanilla, the chocolate flavor, and the chocolate almond flavor. I liked the simple and creamy flavor of the vanilla, and I think the chocolate almond flavor has a better flavor than the regular chocolate flavor since the almond adds a little flair. Vanilla with M&M candies is also a good choice as well.
What I like about frozen custard compared to ice cream and gelato is that I think it is creamier and milkier, especially the vanilla flavor. I also felt less of a «brain freeze» compared to eating good frozen yogurt.
One flavor that I really like to get is Vanilla with pieces of the Heath Candy Bar as my toppings. I really liked the milky, sugary, creamy, and sweet taste and texture. One thing I tend to experience after eating a good amount of frozen custard was that I felt a little bit heavier, compared to eating frozen yogurt, or even ice cream and gelato.
The people who work here are laid-​back and friendly. One great advantage is that they have a water dispenser, which is convenient after eating good amount of frozen custard. After eating a good amount of frozen custard, your mouth might feel a little sticky, so having a nice cold glass of water is a great refreshment after. Prices are a little high, you may have to pay as much as $ 5.50 for a big cone filled with vanilla and a couple of toppings. It turns out that this place is becoming a chain, because it is really popular in the somewhat decent areas of New York State and they just made their landings in the somewhat decent state of Massachusetts.
Overall, I think this is a nice, sweet and creamy alternative to frozen yogurt, ice cream, or gelato, though I usually felt a little heavy every time I ate a medium-​sized frozen custard. I would not come here often, unless I have a good exercise routine planned after.
