Goodies Frozen Custard & Treats

I’m from St. Louis and seriously miss the amazing custard concretes from iconic places like Ted Drewes. I was excited to see a frozen custard food truck as I finished my boring salad lunch on a beautiful day. I was craving something frozen; and Frozen custard would definitely hit the spot. I ordered the oreos and cream concrete and my friend ordered a concrete with dark chocolate and strawberries. First, I didn’t ask how much it was and it wasn’t listed on the menu. When the gentleman told me it was $ 7 each, I was thinking «well for 7 bucks, this better blow me away!». The vanilla custard had a nice texture but what I got didn’t resemble a concrete at all. It was a scoop of frozen custard in a paper takeout box with whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate, and some mini oreos. I would call that a sundae. With the exception of the quality of the custard, the portion and presentation was underwhelming. The truck is cute though and the gentleman who made my order was very nice, though my friend and I agreed that this was a one time purchase and won’t be ordering from there again.

This is good quality frozen custard at an adorable little stand.
After seeing photos and reading reviews, I couldn’t help but make the trip to check this place out. I ordered a donut sandwich with both chocolate and vanilla custard. The custard was fantastic: thick and creamy. The donut was a little bit tough but not bad. It was definitely gluttonous.
I knocked them down because this place is EXPENSIVE. $ 10 for an ice cream sandwich is painful. I think I would rather just get a good quality, slightly smaller sandwich for less than half the price somewhere else.

I’m speechless for how delicious Goodies Frozen Custard taste! I am a west coast woman and I am so blown away at how Amazing their treats taste. On hot summer days I know just where to go.
Brandon’s staff and himself have awesome service. Thank you for being the best at what you do.

I saw the menu online and knew exactly what I wanted, the PB Milkshake. I went down to the food truck and the guy serving was incredibly nice and the shake was made to perfection. Worth my $ 8.

I had a chance to try their Cronut custard sandwich today at Truckeroo. It was very tasty. But it was VERY expensive. I did not receive a receipt and when I checked my credit card bill, I was charged $ 11 for this single item. Also, I think the Cronut was simply a Dunkin Donuts Cronut. Not surprising, I guess.
Delicious but too expensive for what I got.

Excellent food truck. I like the vintage style of the truck and waiters. The ice cream was phenomenal! Next time, I’m trying the peanut butter shake.

I’m still not even sure what hit me. Maple, bacon, donuts, vanilla custard. Who does this? Why do this? How did i not think of this? The closest i ever came to this was dipping my french fries in my milkshake. They really did it up on this truck. The bacon is freaking beautiful. The donut is on of the best ive ever had, and they had the cojones to put custard between it. Easily the best dessert I’ve ever had a truckeroo, and one of the most creative desserts I’ve had ever. This truck is epic! I’d recommend it to anyone with a curious sweet tooth. You will not be disappointed! I will be stalking this truck on social media, and returning as soon as possible. Good work guys!

Custard was really good. Had the red velvet donut ice cream sandwich and it was great! The donut was rich and matched the flavor of the ice cream very well. Priced slightly higher than I feel is necessary.

This yummy custard truck was handing out goodies in celebration of Travel & Tourism Week. The jack-​of-​all-​trades driver also served and made our creations. He was patient and did not burn one calorie in irritation about the line growing past the end of the event time. The truck is cute and nostalgic. The coke cooler displayed in the truck reminded me of something my grandmother used. I had the root beer float. It was delicious. Hubby had the red velvet donutwich. He enjoyed it but said once was enough. It was rich and sweet. I would suggest following #mmmgoodness or #sodabar or @goodiesdc to learn about upcoming events in the area. I can’t quit you Goodies Frozen Custard & Treats!

This past Sunday was weathering out to be a beautiful day. We decided to stroll around at the NH.
We stood in line with approx. 15 other couples and families enjoying the weather – ready for a scope of Goodies. The line was rather slow – only 2 Goodies employees working. Wait it’s our turn — «We’d like to order… I suddenly noticed on the counter where I’m standing at the register there is a sign taped to the counter «CASH ONLY». HUH? Come again. Neither of us has cash and we waited in this line for at least 10−15minutes. Seriously. The gentlemen rudely points to his right/​my left – says there is an ATM machine. I jog to go get the cash while my love orders.
I return cash in hand. I stick my spoon in and say how much was it – he says $ 14.
I just paid an additional $ 3 ATM fee to get cash not including the fee my bank charges me. BLOWN!
Remember they DO NOT take cash.
Word to the proprietors – look into the Square & kindness goes a long way… It softens the blow of the expense.
**See my previous review on the product.**

On a recent business trip where I stayed at the nearby Gaylord National Hotel & Convention Center, I stumbled upon Goodies! It was a bit cold and cloudy, and not many stores it seemed were opened. Then, I heard some jammin’ Motown tunes coming from Goodies. Sure enough, a kind staffer was say Hi and offered me samples. How could I refuse? The vanilla frozen custard sample was creamy and delicious. I decided on getting special sundae in honor of Pie day (3÷14÷15). I opted for a custom velvet sundae (minus the chocolate since I gave it up for Lent). So, I had the pecans and caramel sauce on top of the creamy, rich vanilla frozen custard. Yes, my Pecan Pi sundae was the perfect way to start my lazy Saturday afternoon.
Goodies is a small stand, with 3 – 4 chairs for you to sit. Clean, well maintained and my fellow Goodie staffer was super friendly and helpful. This is a must when you are walking along the Waterfront area!
Go and get your Goodie on!
Cheers!

Just had the Red Velvet Sundae… SO GOOD! Red velvet and cream cheese custard mixed with Oreos and topped with fresh whipped cream and red velvet cake crumbles. Amazing!

This is for their National Harbor location — I love this stand! They have delicious sweets and they’re always coming up with new dessert ideas on a regular basis. In the past, I’ve had the red velvet donut custard sandwich and the red velvet cheesecake custard. They were both delicious and perfect for a nice summer evening. The setup is really neat — 50s décor along with the iconic ice cream truck. The staff also greets everyone with a free sample of custard! Can’t wait to go again and next time, I might try the maple donut sandwich with custard and bacon pieces!

My first time trying Goodies was at their kiosk at National Harbor on Sunday with my mother and brother. A pregnancy craving of mine has been Ice cream, so when I saw this place, I was super excited to try it. My mother and I had, orange floats, my brother had root beer. I thought it was really good. The only downside is the price. $ 14 for two floats. But I like to support small businesses so I didn’t complain. I’m not at the harbor much, so I asked if they had a food truck that comes to Farragut Square where I work. They said they do and would be there Wednesday, so I mark my calendar!
I was happy to see them outside today and decided to try something different. I went with the banana pudding sundae this time. Imagine my surprise when the price was $ 7 again. I looked over my shoulder at FroYo and imagined all the frozen yogurt (they have vanilla custard too) and toppings I can get for $ 4, but I went ahead and ordered the banana pudding sundae from Goodies. I will say it was quite tasty, but definitely not worth $ 7, The container was very small and the serving would adequately feed a 5 year old. I was left not fully and wanting more. And I’m not just saying that because I’m 34 weeks pregnant. So while the custard is really good, I don’t think I’ll make a habit of spending darn near ten bucks on the small portions.
If the prices were more reasonable, I would have given 5 stars.

Ok. If you’re looking for something absurdly delicious and it’s hot out, @Goodiesdc IS YOUR PLACE. I was in Farragut for food trucks (obviously) and even though I stuffed myself with Venezuelan arepas and tequenos from Arepa Zone where I’m a regular, I seriously needed something sweet to balance my savory. And then my coworker and I spotted Goodies. She loves it and insisted that I try it… and so I did. And it was life changing.
It’s a little scary how much I loved their cookies and cream custard… it was between that and the twinkies sundae which is a banana stuffed with custard from my understanding and comes with a ton of toppings. I wasn’t sure if I could commit to that just yet so I started with something that sounded really basic. It turned out to be over $ 7, which I thought was pretty pricey considering what they gave me, but I don’t regret it in any way, shape, or form.
Obviously need to go back for that and find this food truck when they have the red velvet sandwich I was reading about. Is this place real life? Really though…

I found the Goodies Frozen Custard and Treats ’52 vintage van at the Tanger Outlets at National Harbor. A very dapper-​looking guy (one of the owners) was very friendly and giving out free samples of their vanilla custard to the passerbyers — it was definitely delicious!!! Thick, creamy, and a great vanilla flavor. I would love to try out their other items, such as their famous Red Velvet sandwiches, Warm Apple Crisp, and shakes: D
+vanilla custard: D

Goodies!
I love you in all aspects aside from how expensive you are! $ 14 for a red velvet donut ice cream sandwich??? WHATTTTT…
Astronomical cost aside, the red velvet concoction and the cookies & cream sundae that we bought were very tasty. And the truck itself is adorable! Blasting out some chipper 50s music on the side of the road right by the National Archives Building, you were a sight for sore eyes! After miles of walking in 90 degree weather, ice cream sounded so heavenly. We were desperate enough that we popped for two items. Goodies, is your custard made of gold or what???
The two guys working the truck were so friendly and cheery, dancing to the music as they took our order and concocted our frozen deliciousness.
I’d recommend you check out Goodies if you see it on the streets. I think that if you stick with just plain old custard and not one of their fancy specials or sundaes, then the price is much more reasonable.

Today was a real scorcher!
I had no idea that my knees could sweat but… yup they do! Finding the Goodies Frozen Custard & Treats truck (named GiGi) was like coming upon an oasis of water in the dessert.
Their focus is on their homemade frozen custard with all the fixins, shakes and floats but I also noticed that they had a red velvet doughnut sandwich on specialty as well. I opted for my favorite ice cold treat, a banana milkshake but when I inquired about their doughnut sandwich the owner Brandon was nice enough to give me a sample. As I mentioned they make everything from scratch every morning and it truly shows in everything they do. I probably have diabetes now but at least it wasn’t from some processed junk that I got from a vending machine so I don’t feel as guilty.
From start to finish, my visit was an entire experience. The music was blasting oldies, and the two men who helped take my order were dressed in candy colored clothing complete with bow ties.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to not feel happy after a visit here! Thank you Goodies for cooling me down and lifting my spirits.

Goodies has executed a perfect marketing niche with a throwback truck that has been impeccably restored along with an old-​timey menu of comfort food desserts. But (and this is a big BUT), they are so elusive to the Foggy Bottom area.
I tried their ice cream once when they first opened, but have never seen them again. I hope that I have another opportunity.
STRONG hint to Goodies to come back to see us!

Whenever I see the Goodies truck around the city, I break out into a crazy little grin. I LOVE that truck! The guys who run Goodies are SO friendly, dressed to the nines in vintage 50’s ice cream parlor type outfits (bow ties and newsboy hats and suck).
The food is sooo good. Custard, I’m discovering, is truly a different category than ice cream, and is just yummy-​to-​my-​tummy amazing with its thick and creamy deliciousness. They make it fresh and you can tell! Check out festive seasonal flavors (like the pumpkin pie frozen custard, holy moly). The cakes and other baked goods (caramel and chocolate bundt cakes!) are also top notch.
