(Okay, well technically Carl’s sells custard, but it’s close enough!)

July 18 marks National Ice Cream Day, according to the Bizarre Food Holidays website. So, in honor of this fantastic holiday, I recommend that you head to Carl’s at 2200 Princess Anne Street. Carl’s has been a treasured Fredericksburg landmark for over 50 years. What’s the difference between custard and ice cream? Custard contains more eggs than ice cream. Carl’s serves three flavors of frozen custard – chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, but that doesn’t mean your taste buds will be disappointed! You can also choose from a selection of sundaes, floats, cones, milkshakes, and malts. Don’t worry about the long line wrapped around the building when you arrive; the average wait time is between 10-15 min. It is well worth the wait!

Open 7 days a week!
