Custard’s Last Stand

When opened in 1989, there were less than 100 frozen custard stores in the entire United States. Since those early years, the frozen custard business has exploded. They have received many awards in their 30+ years of business. They have been voted best ice cream in Kansas City numerous times and also featured as one of Walt Bodine's “lovable joints,” along with many newspaper articles written about the business. 

On any given summer night, there is usually a long line of customers waiting patiently to order their frozen custard. It's quite a sight. Stop by and check them out at one of their many locations across the Kansas City Metro area!

Our Recommendation: ANY of their concretes!

Snoball Cove New Orleans Style Shaved Ice

Looking for something more unique? Look no further than Snoball Cove! Located in Blue Springs, they offer over 40 different flavors with a variety of toppings. The classic New Orleans style sno-ball is neither a snow cone nor Hawaiian-style shave ice but is a velvety concoction of fluffy, freshly-shaved ice that pairs perfectly with chocolate sauce or fruit or condensed milk or any of the sugary syrups that come in flavors that have become their own culinary art form.

Our Recommendation: Try the Hurricane with cream and whipped cream!

Freezing Moo
