The biggest problem with this frozen custard is that it's scooped, and not directly from the machine, therefore it's not nearly as creamy or smooth as frozen custard is famously known for. My vanilla one scoop cone tasted exactly like a McDonald's ice cream cone, and was about 4x the price. This place is very expensive. 4 kids cups and 2 adult cups cost $28. The inside is small and tight, and the outside street offers ~8 plastic Adirondack chairs. Having had proper frozen custard in the Midwest, I cannot recommend this custard as anything more than over priced soft serve. The employee was curt, and kept asking 'what else?' in a tone as is we were wasting her time with our decision.

Abbott's Frozen Custard is a long standing Ice cream shop within the Needham area. There was multiple other locations across Massachusetts, however this is the last one left. The ice cream itself is pretty soft and smooth, maintaining that consistency even after multiple days in the freezer. The ice cream isn't too sweet, and has a nice taste that lets the ice cream go well with other desserts as well.

I love this place so much! Before Abbott’s I never had frozen custard before. As an ice cream lover I actually like it better. The flavors were homemade and delicious, and the service is always great. They also have amazing novelties - their chip wheels and ice cream pies are my favorite. I often get an ice cream pie for special events instead of a cake!

I am a frozen custard lover, i eat a bowl of it after every meal or snack time. It takes a lot for me to not enjoy the delicious lick of frozen custard , yet when I entered the Abbotts franchise I immediately knew the vibes were off. The building was quite small and typically I like to enjoy my custard in large establishments, but I still decided to give this place a try. I ordered my usual frozen custard order that goes as follows: XL strawberry with gummy bears and Nutella syrup. However Abbotts does not have Nutella syrup? I was appalled, and when I took a lick of my dessert I was immediately disgusted. I live in Walpole and drove 40 minutes during rush hour to get some frozen custard. I am really disappointed as I have never experienced this much unhappiness since I took my...

Abbott’s has the best frozen custard I’ve ever had! You can definitely tell that it’s made fresh every day. Their customer service is great too, everyone is always extremely friendly and helpful - it’s just an overall enjoyable experience anytime I go in there. They have a really good selection of flavors and topping options too. I also love that they have other desserts you can get there like the frozen bananas and turtles. But the chip wheels are my absolute favorite I always get some to go when I’m there to keep in the freezer at home!

I also went to a company event once where Abbott’s was catering and it was the best idea! Everyone loved it and kept talking about how awesome it was.

Whenever I have family or friends visiting I make sure I bring them to Abbott’s!...

I may be a bit biased, but I think this is the best dessert on the planet. The team here is so kind, even when they get busy (and boy can they get busy during the summer but they still keep the lines moving, which I respect). People of all ages seem to really love this place, and I can understand why. It's made fresh daily, which I think is just awesome. I saw a review comparing it to McDonalds which is a joke, it is SO MUCH better and I think only the pre-packed pints are actually more than a day old (and I'm told those were just from earlier that week). PLUS they haven't jacked their prices up to crazy levels like some of the medium/big chains (I'm looking at you JP Licks...)! I highly encourage everyone to check it out - you...
