This is the pinnacle by which I judge all other "custards". Bah! they have nothing on my beloved Abbotts! Rich, dense, creamy...everything frozen custard should be (and usually isn't).
My personal fave is the Chocolate Almond, a unique Rochester combo. A light chocolate ice cream just crammed with roasted almonds.

What can I say? Now that I have moved to California, Ithink I miss Abbott's most. Sure, it could be considered pricey compared to run of the mill ice cream shops, but not by much, and remember this is super premium stuff. The lines cab get long at peak times, but this location has the best selection of flavors.

The custard is always outstanding -- chocolate, vanilla, chocolate almond, whatever, it's always good. You can't beat the local flavor, eating a cone or dish by the water experiencing the salty neighborhood. Love it, always have and always will!!!

Abbott's is a local Rochester treasure that is quickly expanding with a ton of franchises. I believe this is the first location and it's not a stretch to see why. It's a beautiful location right across the street from Ontario beach at the end of Lake Rd. I would always grab something to eat here before or after a show at the Penny Arcade. The lines can get pretty long here but they keep it moving and they're usually open late. And remember this isn't ice cream, it's not soft serve, it's frozen custard which is the creamiest and most unique frozen treat you're bound to have. -

My husband gleefully got to share his childhood delight of getting an Abbott's custard on the beach with his daughters last time we visited Rochester. For us it was monumentus, for them, hell, they're getting ice cream! We still do the rounds of our favorite Rochester foods when we visit and this Abbott's never fails to make it on our tour. This is an experience not to miss if you're visiting Rochester. The scenery has changed dramatically since the whole boat debacle (YIKES!) and they tried to change Charlotte beach into a boardwalk.
Seemed like it should have worked...... -

tips:
* check their facebook for current flavors!
* their web site has location info and you can also ship :)
* there are locations open year round but this location is summerish only.
* BRING CASH
the cotton candy was SO good!
All I want when I come back to NY is Abbott's. (which now also exists in Co, Fl, Mass... but not Tx)
The kids size is big enough for me and $25 later my group of 7 all had a yummy custard on a cool summer evening. (excluding tip, but tip the kids, come on, it's a summer job that can get super busy!)
No other frozen custard has compared, EVER. -

Abbott's is one of the few things I miss about Rochester. It's custard, not soft-serve...and infinitely more delicious. I've always been partial to the chocolate almond. When available, the blueberry is amazing as well.

You know how awesome ice cream is? Well, Abbott's frozen custard is even better. Yes, BETTER! Also, you can call them to hear the flavors of the day. I always go with vanilla, but that's just because it's so amazing I couldn't handle any more amazingness.
