The Meadows Original Frozen Custard - New Alexandria

We were driving from State College back to Pittsburgh after the Penn State game and decided we needed a quick break to stretch and we heard custard is the popular great in the East Coast area. I'm from West Coast so I don't have frozen custard normally. So I was excited to try it! There were only 2 people working the counter and the drive-thru so it was a little wait. I ended up getting the vanilla custard and it was delish! It was creamy and kinda reminded me of frozen yogurt. I'm a huge Yogurtland fan so it reminded me of that but more creamy. Probably the same amount of sweet. It was definitely a nice treat for the rest of the drive back to Pitts! I did love that the restroom was super clean!! Nice job maintaining that.

So many delicious choices to make! Today we tried a new item, Affogato. It's made with espresso and vanilla custard. They're now serving coffee as well as frozen custard. We also had a favorite, the mango Gelati. Italian ice on top of vanilla custard.Staff is always pleasant.Restaurant is always sparkling clean.

Okay, full disclosure - I love custard, I just do. I find it thicker, creamier, and tastier than plain old ice cream or even soft serve. So this review is looking at this from that angle and through that lens...Now, that being said, this is some darn good custard - as creamy as it should be and as thick as it aught to be - no complaints. After waiting about three years after this place opened, I've now had the pleasure of partaking from what they offer twice in the last week - it has been soo good.The first time I had their banana custard with Nestle Crunch pieces Swirl and the second time I had their Cotton Candy Artic Swirl (a summertime special). Both were delicious, and those cotton candy pieces in the vanilla custard was supremely delicious. On the second trip, my wife enjoyed their hot fudge sundae with chocolate custard - it was piled high with marshmallow topping, thickened with chocolate sauce, and a big ol'Cherry to top it all off - no complaint from her. Service is friendly as it is fast - on this holiday Sunday (Juneteenth) the place was packed inside and out and we were in-line, made our order, paid, and had our custard in less than 5-7 mins. Frankly, it was amazing to me how quickly they moved customers through. All this and with two orders that came out looking none to rushed. I was impressed.I will definitely be enjoying this place when I return for the 4th of July holiday...

Meadows custard is so delicious! If you haven't tried it yet, you must! Lots of options for how you like your ice cream such as milk shake, sundae, etc. Service is quick especially through the drive through. There are a few tables inside for seating as well. Typical interior of any ice cream shop you might expect! Totally worth checking it out if you like ice cream!

I was so happy to see this shop open. The product and service is outstanding. There is a drive-through, but if you have time, go into the building. The inside has industrial decor, seating and clean bathrooms. They offer the cones, cups, sundaes, shakes, frosts, Italian ices, gelatos,yogurts, and cakes. Also, two different flavors are offered everyday. Do not pass up the Chocolate Brownie when it is featured. Mine had generous bits of brownie all through. The location is very accessible from the highway at an intersection.

Pricey , but delicious. Love that they have a sugar free options. Happy eating everyone.

Absolutely delicious. Love the changing rotation of flavors. Love the texture of the custard. Love the super friendly staff. It's such a treat to go here and indulge in the decadent choices. It definitely brings out the inner child in us all!!!!

1st time best custards ever some many options fast service very clean environment went through drive through have the blackcherry vanilla waffle cone nice outside setting ares and have treats for animals

Bottom line up front... quality ice cream, clean and modern facility, location is convenient to those traveling on Route 22 or Route 981 near New Alexandria, PA. For anyone visiting Keystone State Park this establishment is within about 5 miles or less from the park, and the flavors of the day are prominently posted on an electronic sign out front and visible from the intersection to lure in customers... it is better at attracting customers than I am at attracting fish at the lake. Keystone State Park has a snack bar with ice cream good basic ice cream too, but nothing as special as what the Meadows serves. We live about 4 miles from this business, travel past it many times a week, we ALWAYS slow down to see the flavors of the day, and when the favorites pop up on the sign the result is that we almost always have a quart of something from The Meadows in our freezer at the house!

Very fast, great customer service. The employees are so nice and always working so diligently.
