A short car ride from Radwyn Apartments will take you Custard & Cakes Creamery, a neighborhood staple of Philadelphia's Roxborough neighborhood. Located on Ridge Avenue, this family- owned and -operated roadside stalwart has been serving housemade frozen yogurt, hard ice cream, and water ice to the community since 1955.
Ask for a scoop of vanilla, pistachio, rocky road, or butter pecan ice cream in a cake, sugar, or pretzel cone. Seasonal flavors, like pumpkin, pumpkin spice cookie, and egg nog, are also on the menu here in the fall. Order a Glacier, soft serve ice cream packed with candy and cookies, or request a sundae smothered in hot fudge, marshmallows, and wet walnuts.
Those looking to precede dessert with something savory can order a soft pretzel, hot dog, meatball sandwich, chili, and more. Custard & Cakes is open daily, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. (10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays).
