Lately Alli and I have been taking our puppy Marty McFly to the Lasalle Dog Park (aka the Barkyard) and we pass by Custard Corner & Deli every time. This summer I really wanted to start to discover as many cool ice cream/dessert destinations as possible. It’s my first summer not living in Orchard Park and I figured there had to be a bunch of hidden gems in the city.
Well, every time we have driven by Custard Corner they have had either a delicious smell coming from the building or they have had a large line standing in front. Either way, I felt pretty confident about going there and trying it out (Sidenote: once I realized they take credit cards it was a no-brainer).
Custard Corner has a slightly unique take on your regular local independent ice cream stand; they also have a Deli inside. They have all the standards of an ice cream stand, various types of soft serve ice cream (including Strawberry), sundaes and Perry’s hard ice cream. They also have offerings of various cold cut sandwiches, potato salads and other lunch time foods.
I ordered their Snickers Arctic Swirl and it tasted exactly how you would expect. There was a surprisingly large amount of Snickers bars inside the treat, it was mixed well (no large clumps of Snickers) and just overall a really good treat for a hot humid Buffalo night. For about 9 bucks I ordered the swirl, a large Coke, and Alli had a Hot Fudge Sundae.
We haven’t had a chance to go back and try any of their Deli menu items but once we do I will make sure to update/post the pictures. So if you are taking your dog to the dog park (Buffalo Eats loves and endorses the Barkyard), going to the newly reopened public city pool, or just enjoying LaSalle Park, stop by the Custard Corner and get yourself a nice icy treat, they have something for everyone.
