Love it! Delicious ice cream/custard. More like a firmer soft ice and that’s perfect for us. Not so heavy as a regular ice cream and delicious. Super friendly people serving. Will be a regular stop for us!

We’ve been coming here for over 5 years and we’re so glad they’re open again! Great dessert and the owner and wife are so kind! Cute and convenient location, too. Get the muddy buddy!!

So glad we have a decent frozen custard place on the Hill... Im tired of the other over-crowded trendy FOMO go-for-the-experience ice cream places around me. Theyre shallow and pretentious... Old School has rotating flavors, a good menu and a great staff. We need to support these types of places more...

A friendly team serving a decadent dessert experience! Worth the walk a block or two for a great local treat!

Young man behind the counter was nice and really helpful in making a decision. He was very polite and made me appreciate my frozen custard sundae even more so! I got a one scoop sundae that was absolutely amazing, tasted like it was prepared with love. I finished mine before my boyfriend got through his (and that NEVER happens lol)! It was my first time here and I will definitely be back.

The servings are large enough to share, but dont! TOO DAMN GOOD! 5 Stars all all day long!

So happy that they reopened. Just as great as it ever was.

Easy location to find. There’s a bike rack right out front. Incredibly friendly staff members. So many tempting choices on the menu; the cashier just watched my face as I pointed and gasped and drooled over every menu item. Went with the Muddy Buddy sundae and I’m so glad I did—it was delicious! Tasted just like muddy buddys with all of the creamy peanut butter and melty chocolate. And I got whipped cream because, well, it’s whipped cream. They also have a rewards program where you buy X-number ice creams and get one free—I will for sure be returning.

Super yummy!!! Sundaes are quite big...had to share mine

Nice place. Custard was good and people were friendly.

Great stuff finally open again!

Friendly staff, quick service, and extremely tasty custard!! Y U M

I love this place, great food & service. The staff was very sociable and kind. Prices are decent for the quality. Not so close to my office, unfortunately.

All ice creams are perfect but staff are terrible especially dark hair young man, he was so rude, could not even service customers, what a shame

I love this place always quality food & service. The service here is outstanding. Prices were fair for the quality of the food. Kinda of like a place in Houston that I enjoyed.

Please update your hours with Google. Google shows you as open until 10pm and I paid five dollars to park just to come to your store and see thr temporarily closed sign due to Covid. Wasted $5 by attempting to buy at your business.

I really love the frozen custard here. The location is nice there is parking to be found nearby and the establishment is clean and tidy. The staff have always been attentive and fast as well as being friendly. The muddy buddy is off the hook! Though I might recommend sharing, it’s quite a dessert!

Staff was friendly and quick. Many tempting offerings, the turtle sundae was calling me. I got two scoops and plenty to share. Generous servings. Im already dreaming of coming back. Not sure if I had frozen custard before, its similar to ice cream then yogurt. The frozen custard seemed slightly denier and a little more rich than ice cream.

Old school frozen custard is a year round shop. Tasty frozen custard flavors in a daily. Highly suggest trying the sundaes. When you are there youve got to try their fresh baked cookies and brownies. Its amazing! Megs Retro Cookies are found here and definitely amazing.

Very rich delicious custard. Delicious. Abundance of toppings

Its really tasty. Unless you check what their flavors are, though, you might be pretty limited on a given day. I assume they do that to focus on a small list of high quality yummy flavors instead of having a huge list to keep stocked at a time. Didnt bother me, but I was with group of folks containing some seriously picky eaters!

The Frozen Custard is my my first time trying it. This is good. Its like a very light ice cream. We order the muddy buddy. Everything is prepared right in front of you. Very cool. We order 1 scoop it was $9 including tip. I would recommend to try this if you havent. There are many great restaurants in walking distance and you can finish off with desert here. Definitely with trying. 5/5 -Mitch

Great spot for an appetite of any size. Looking forward to coming back with my relatives.

Made my favorite dessert... at the last minute right before closing. Very tasty, great menu items and cool staff. Would definitely visit again and try some other options on the menu! Really good ice cream as well!

The shop is permanently closed as of today.

This is a very awesome place! Two friends and I went together and had some delicious frozen custard (basically ice cream) and we all loved it. Its pretty cheap too. While were there, the owner offered us some Japanese candy for free, which was pretty cool too. Theres a ton to choose from, and Im pretty sure they offered milk shakes, smoothies, and just regular custard pie. They are open pretty late. I loved the custard, and I highly recommend this!

Great place for late night sweet tooth cravings. Try one of their sundaes.

Service here is lousy.. I ordered the mint ice cream sandwiched and a blue red velvet cake for my brother. The ice cream and blue red velvet was really sweet.. kinda like the ones from the market... but the ice cream was sandwiched by two macaroons.. which was actually pretty good.

Delicious! My kiddo loved the chocolate with rainbow sprinkles. I had an amazing ice cream sandwich with ginger molasses cookies and vanilla. Cant wait to go back and try more flavors!

Old School Frozen Custard is the best! They have a lot of options, so many of which sounded great. Its just hard to make a decision. I ended up getting their cookie blitz sundae, which was excellent. The small is still pretty big, so I imagine you should prepare yourself for a lot of frozen custard if you get the large size.

It was a great treat after a nice meal. We had the Recess sundae in a waffle bowl and it was enough to share. There was not a lack of anything in this sundae. We had the option to pick any flavor for our custard, but we opted to stick with the vanilla. It was a perfect balance. It was nice to have the option to have any flavor, though. We need one of these in Tacoma! Staff was very helpful and friendly. Would recommend.

Great service and awesome soft serve custard.

The ice cream is so smooth and decadent. It reminds me of a frosty. I like that you can chose toppings to add. I think it is a little pricey given the serving size but I get its located in a metropolitan area. When I went they had a long line and moved quite fast given 2 people working. The place looked clean as well.

There is custard in the Pacific Northwest! I grew up in the Midwest where custard is common. I have missed it since moving up here about 5 years ago. They have concretes and they have it as a dish. So many options in flavors and toppings! Thank you for bringing a favorite dessert back into my life!

I didnt know strawberry custard could taste so good, but not all of the flavors are as special. I ordered a double scoop waffle cone, strawberry and chocolate. The slimy, stringy texture of thawing frozen strawberries usually found in strawberry ice-cream isnt my favorite. There arent any chunks in Old Schools version, just rich smooth custard with full strawberry flavor. Its really nice. The same magic wasnt there for for chocolate, the custard just adds a little richness.Their location is great. You can grab a cone, stroll down to Cal Anderson park on a sunny afternoon and just enjoy being outside.

I love this place. I dont live close by so it is less frequent a treat as it used to be. Get a warm fresh cookie and put it between 2 scoops of custard. YUM!

I liked that you can customize your custard with different toppings and sauces. The custard had a great creamy texture and good taste. They release a new special flavor every day, with some original ones like red velvet or banana peanut. Only con: the place was really noisy because of the fridge

This is still one of the best places for a frozen treat in Seattle. Everything on the menu is amazing and they have a new flavor every day! Some of them you have to get there early for, that’s how good this is. If you’re jn cap hill go check this place out, it’s open late!

Very delicious. it has a great interior.

Friendly casual place with great creamy custard Ice creams. Would be five stars but for a few things: they seem to have chocolate, vanilla, and a flavor of the day, and focus on turning them into sundaes, sandwiches, etc. Thats ok, but the few flavors should be perfect in that case. We had vanilla and it could have used a bit more extract. It was rich though, and the texture was PERFECT for the root beer float we selected: soft but not melting. They also offer a choice of root beer which was nice. Id go back, expecting an ice cream concoction, rather than the cone I set out for.

Subtle flavors taste like icing on a cake. Easier on the stomach than ice cream for me. I loved it. Old school custard was a good experience. Lucky enough to score a spot across the street.

Honestly nothing really blew my mind here. Nothing horrible but not knock my socks off the best thing Ive ever tasted. Would come again

So yummy. The difference between frozen custard and ice cream is that custard is better. Seriously.

When it comes to cold, semi-frozen treats, Id like to consider myself a connoisseur of sorts. I had lived in Capitol Hill (just around the corner from here) for almost a year before I finally got curious enough to stop through and check it out... and wow. Im seriously ashamed of myself. I had NO IDEA custard was so amazing. Its basically next level. The flavor, consistency, and options are exceptional.And if you want your mind seriously blow, try the Muddy Buddy. Or dont... because Im not sure anything has been quite as satisfying since.

Lovely service beautiful young host with bright yellow hair. Nice ice-cream!

Best place in North America to get a frozen treat. The staff is nice and kind, one of the girls is the cutest persons I know. ❤️

I only had one flavor, and that was fantastic!!! Chocolate peanut butter cookie custard was simply perfect. Custard had perfect texture, cookie was not soggy, chocolate flavor intense, and most importantly, it was no too sweet. Yummy!

Lil busy but once they got going busted out the line and products looked great.I will be stopping by again to enjoy a number of items.This time I got the recess and I enjoyed the texture change throughout the shake and the favors were good with the custard

This is my favorite place to get ice cream. I usually stick to the classic flavors, but they typically have at least one special daily flavor, but often more than that. Lots of topping options and a rewards program that offers free sundaes when you get to ten stars! Bonus is that its slightly off the beaten path, so it doesnt ever really have a line like Molly moons. 10/10

Frozen custard is THE superior frozen treat, and Old School is the superior maker of it. My parents and I used to go to Peaks, but after it closed, we finally found this place and its even better. Their custard is insanely smooth and richly flavorful. All of the sundaes/combos are delicious, as is the custard on its own. And as far as Seattle food prices go, its quite reasonable. (I dont usually rave about things or write food reviews, but I had to show up for Old School. I drive all the way from Sammamish for this stuff!!)

I love this place! The custard is delicious, creamy and mooshy the way frozen custard is supposed to be. The flavors are interesting (Earl Grey!). And the staff is always friendly, patient and ready with the tasting spoons. I often opt for this place instead of Molly Moon. I wish they were a bit more visible, I really dont want them going out of business.

This place is awesome... Very family friendly and the staff is very nice and willing to let you taste test. The best thing on the menu is the recess... Its a brownie Sunday with whatever custard you want. The custard is on point and if I didnt gain 5lbs every time I came here I would come here weekly!

In a word, Amazing! My favorite is the recess, but I can never finish it in one setting. So it goes in freezer for at least one more day of delicious.

This place is great. The ice cream was so delicious and the toppings were amazing. The toffee sauce was so good. I really like ice cream, so finding places like Old School Frozen Custard while on a trip is a real joy.

Possibly one of the best frozen custard places in all of Seattle!The inventive and ever changing seasonal flavors paired with the friendly staff makes this a neighborhood favorite. Be warned: some of the flavors are so popular they will routinely sell out!

I love the flavor and texture of their custard! So sweet and creamy! Fun place to hang out, too; they have books and games and free water.

The daily flavors are so unique and tasty! You can conveniently find them on their website. The custard is super good by itself and all the concretes and sundaes and cookie sandwiches are awesome too. So hard to choose what to get and so hard not to go here all the time! They also have a solid rewards program, which gives you a free item (a few options as to what this is, theyre pretty generous in my opinion) every so many orders. And they deliver now too! But not late at night, so be warned.

Love this place. Its the closest I can get to WI area custard around and does a very good job at it. Great flavors, good service, fair prices. Parking can be a bit of a pain but its worth it.

We love custard so of course, we had to swing by and give this place a try. If you love ice cream, youll love frozen custard - its totally delicious. Theres a limited range of regular flavours plus some daily specials, it was Butterfinger Crunch the day we went and it was seriously good. There are also sundaes and a plethora of ways to pimp up your frozen dessert. This place has a relaxed vibe and staff are super friendly.

Quirky place worth a stop. Check out the yearbook from 1999. It is a worth read.

Love Old School! Such great custard. Check the website to see the flavor of the day but they generally have a few pints of the last few flavors from earlier in the week in the freezer when you walk in.

Ice cream was rich and delicious. The staff were super friendly and attentive despite having a huge line. Got the butter pecan and chocolate cookies n cream. Was not disappointed. A really great way to top off the evening!

Great custard, and great sundaes, but limited options for custard flavors. If you like normal ice cream flavor options, (mint chocolate chip, cookies and cream, cookie dough, etc) this is not the place for you. But if youre okay with great quality vanilla custard our are willing to gamble on less common flavors, you may love this place.

Probably the most favored frozen custard for all old Seattleites. A short distance from several of Seattles best restaurants its a great place to drop by after dinner and explore its vast weekly menu. Great taste too.

The lines were long last night as the temperatures crept up close to one hundred yet again, but the wait was worth it. The flavors were unique and complex, with a home-made freshness. I was pleased to find that a single scoop which was plent can include two flavors. The root beer was a surprise hit - really tingly. And the cracked caramel was a nice balance of bitter, salty and sweet. Next time I might just have a kiddie cone - still as big as a single scoop in most of Europe! And with flavors this intensely interesting and tasty, all I might really need.

This place sells one thing - great frozen custard. It is a small place on E.Pike. There are plenty of ice cream shops in the area, but Old School has a lock on its niche - just so creamy and tasty - and they have the best spoons in town!

Ah, delicious frozen custard. The richest and most creamiest kind of ice cream you can eat

Disgusting. I ordered a Cookie Blitz. The hot fudge was room temperature and the cookie, which was supposed to be warm, had not been heated and was so stale I could barely force my spoon through it. Mediocre would be an upgrade.

Despite any downsides (and there are a few), I love this place. Parking can be tough at night when all the hipsters are out, long lines, not enough staff, etc.Ive had some of their shakes with more ingredients, but I really like the custard on its own. The shakes with added junk distract from delicious simplicity of the custard.The specials are worth checking out on the calendar on their website before you go.The staff have been slammed with orders every time Ive been in, but never mess up and are friendly and attentive.

I had never had frozen custard before here and now its one if my favorites. Little hole in the wall place with a great selection of custards that change daily.

Zack is an expert, he told me why custard is superior to ice cream and now after my peanut butter banana custard, I am a believer. So good, hands down best frozen desert Ive had in years. Check it out!

I love Old School Frozen Custard. Lines here are typically short. Flavors change daily. Overall just my favorite ice cream shop in Seattle.

Frozen Custard is relatively sweet, which make it trumps out the selected flavor. I would recommend choosing the plain one instead off fancy flavors.

Only local place nearby to get my frozen yogurt fix. So good.

Their frozen yogurts and dessert are awesome, try the brownie sundae.

Its custard..good flavors. I enjoy this over regular ice Cream. Smoother and less sugar, more cream

BEST frozen custard EVER. In my opinion, better than Molly Moons ice cream. The Recess sundae is amazing! LOVE THIS PLACE.

I like the custard here, but it can definitely be a bit or miss depending on what time you go. A small location, they change their flavors daily besides the basic chocolate and vanilla so I recommend to check their calendar before you go.

Must try the custom concrete at this place! I got the concrete with brownie and pecans and it was amazing!

Great spot! They will mix your favorite toppings into the frozen custard, reminds me of a Dairy Queen Blizzard but so much better...

Delicious creamy perfect frozen custard! The toppings were many and tasty, the brownie was my favorite. Will be back.

My husband and I have been coming here for over six years. When it closed before the new owners took over I was heart broken. When I learned it was being purchased by someone new, I was skeptical. It was a happy day when I learned the quality hadn’t changed. The only things that’s changed that I’m sad about is that they no longer offer the Cherry Cheesecake.A little over a year ago we moved down to Tacoma, their product is so great that we make the drive up just to go to Old School. They have the best ice cream I have ever come across. Their base flavors, chocolate and vanilla, are smooth, flavorful, rich, and creamy. I highly recommend if you’re an ice cream lover like us.

When it comes to frozen treats, Im a huge fan of frozen custard. Theres something about adding eggs to food that makes it, sing. Yes, sing. The flavors at Old School arent just run of the mill either. Sure they have chocolate, vanilla and strawberry, but they have apple strudel, orange creamsicle, and chocolate peanut butter cup too. My friend and I shared a small apple strudel which had all the makings of a pastry yet in frozen custard form. It tasted fresh, cinnamon-y, and oh-so-delicious. They are open late too so you can have that late dessert if youre so inclined.

Walked in this evening and it was a great service...cute guy too lol

Walking in I was not sure what to expect. I have had my fair share of desserts in my life, from your usual cold stone creamery to your off the wall pastry shops. Old School Frozen Custard blew me away with the customer service(Natalie was super friendly) I have never had a frozen treat like they make here, mind blown away I will be back every Thursday........

Good size and price. Wish there were more flavors

The staff was really cool and let me chill here even after I finished. I got the homeroom and it was really great. I loved it!

Really good custard in a really cute place! Loved it!

To say it was the best Ive ever had, no, but it was pretty good. The price for it wasnt bad, you could just get a gallon at QFC. It might not taste as good but it would basically be quantity over quality.

Love the creamy texture of their ice creams! I only wish they had more selection per day

The place was packed when we arrived! This is my favorite ice cream spot in all of Seattle! Be sure to try a concrete, you wont be disappointed!

Great frozen custard and some unique, delicious flavors. Helpful staff. Cone or a bowl, you cant go wrong here.

Cheers to the Old School Frozen Custard. The mint cookie chip & pecan pie ice cream on a chocolate dipped cone was to die for.

Great frozen custard. Expensive but high quality. Highly recommended.

We made it in time for their happy hour and ordered a sammie and mini sundae. My niece said frozen custard was much better than ice cream.

This was my first time trying out frozen custard. I tried the frozen custard sammie (cookie sandwich) with vanilla custard filling, one chocolate chip cookie and one snickerdoodle cookie. I was going to get a peanut butter cookie instead of snickerdoodle, but they were out of peanut butter. The cookie sandwich was bigger than I expected which was nice, but since the custard melted faster than I expected, it was a little messy to eat. Personally, I wouldn’t get the cookie sandwich again, since I prefer cookie sandwiches with harder ice cream that doesn’t melt as fast. If I go here again next time, I think I’ll just stick with the frozen custard in a cone.

If you like ice cream, youll love frozen custard. And Old School makes it a high art. Theres no place that produces an ice cream thats creamier or more flavorful than Old School. We travel from Bellevue for it.

What can you say but WOW! A huge fan of Frozen Custard and these guys do a fantastic job. Great flavors, excellent service, and great location. Who could ask for more?

Nice scenery and delicious dessert! Probably the best frozen dessert Ive ever had
