Mr Wizard's Frozen Custard and Yogurt — Restaurant in Maplewood

I have been going to Mr. Wizards ever since I was a kid and I have TONS of great memories of eating there; whether it involves eating there with my family when I was young, to going to Mr. Wizards with my friends after playing baseball, or when going to Mr. Wizards when I had my first girlfriend.

I have many sweet memories of going to Mr. Wizards to get ice cream and I can say that Mr. Wizards IS an excellent place for the above things; especially for kids. It could be a place that they'd remember!

It is also a very romantic spot too. Take your girlfriend or boyfriend here. The area is quiet, located around trees; it is in the beautiful area of Maplewood, and it is a very cozy outdoor place.

Thus, the above things are the GREATEST things about Mr. Wizards Also, Mr. Wizards is considered a landmark Ice Cream place throughout St. Louis. That is, people visit the St. Louis Arch, the Science Center, Forest Park, etc. and Mr. Wizards is another places that people visit when they come into town.

Their Ice Cream IS delicious and I enjoyed most of what they had on their menu. The ONLY drawback to Mr. Wizards is they are EXPENSIVE!!! At Mr. Wizards, it costed around $3 for a small Ice Cream, etc. I enjoyed it but gosh!!

So, buying Ice Cream or anything at Mr. Wizards would mostly be good for the experience i.e., building memories with friends, family, loved ones, etc. and one has to decide if it's worth buying Ice Cream simply for the experience. In some cases, this could be a hard decision because the experience of bonding at Mr. Wizards can be beautiful!

Otherwise, cheaper Ice Cream and GOOD ice cream could be bought elsewhere. Thus, I LOVE Mr. Wizards and I LOVE being in the Maplewood area, but Mr. Wizards prices are CRAZY and it is the only thing that stops Mr. Wizards from getting...

We’ve been customers of Mr. Wizard’s for years, and we’ve always enjoyed great service and an outstanding product. Our favorite specialty concrete is the German Chocolate concrete, which is supposed to be chocolate custard layered in with nuts, coconut and caramel throughout. Stopped in yesterday and noticed a sign “under new management.” We put our order in for two large German Chocolate concretes to go, as we usually do. It took a lot longer than normal to get our order, so we chalked it up to perhaps new employees. (BTW, on prior occasions, the same person taking the order would usually be the same person making the order. On busy days, there might have been another person helping.) On this visit, there was a person taking orders, and at least three people staffed to make up the orders. Strange that it took a lot longer for a staff of four to handle orders that one or two people used to make. When we got home, we essentially had a full cup of chocolate custard with no nuts, and what was “layered” was a tiny bit of shredded coconut in the bottom of the cup, and a drizzle of caramel over that. Definitely NOT what we are used to getting. If the “new management” doesn’t figure out how to train their employees how to make a proper concrete, they will be out of business...

After multiple visits to Clementine's, I started really craving custard. A quick Google search yielded Mr. Wizard's Frozen Custard and Yogurt. I decided to drive to Maplewood to give it a try, and I am glad that I did.

On my first visit, I ordered a Vanilla Custard Cone. The custard was magical (bad pun-intended), and it had excellent sweetness and flavor. The cone was fresh and tasty too. I was also impressed with the portion size!

While perusing the menu at my first visit, I noticed that they offer Banana Pudding as an option for either a Concrete or Sundae. Naturally, I had to return the next week to try this.

I really enjoyed the Banana Pudding Concrete. The banana was sweet and ripe, and the vanilla wafers were fresh. These components complemented the custard nicely for a very tasty sweet treat.

Lastly, the staff was nice both times.

I am glad that I got to try Mr. Wizard's Frozen Custard and Yogurt. While I never go to Maplewood, I now have a magical (bad pun-intended, again)...
