“ What can I say. Been a favorite of mine since childhood. They dont disappoint, the best cold treats all summer long. ”
“ 5 stars for the ice cream and nostalgia. I remember growing a few blocks south of the Custard Cup. I mowed a large yard. Took me all day of pushing the lawnmower. When I got paid I would walk up to the Custard Cup and get a strawberry shake. Hit the spot. That was almost 60 years ago. I left the area 45 years ago and just moved back. We came this evening because it was last day of their season. I had a vanilla cone, it was good and brought back a lot of good memories. An all around 5 star experience. ”
“ Under new ownership. Same great choices. Lemon custard was delicious, cold fudge sundae is always amazing, and fountain green river to drink. All the faves make it worth the trip from Indianapolis. Its always a stop when its in season. ”

“ Review Date July 4th, 2016 Voted the Best Ice Cream in Illinois in 2015! My 55 Rating would have to agree. A friend recommended Jarlings and it has been on my list for awhile. They have only two locations Danville, IL and Champaign, IL. I am usually never around these areas, so it has taken me awhile for my travels to take me near Jarlings... and good gosh, it was worth the drive! I have mostly visited ice cream shacks but this one seems to use custard in their ice cream. Not sure what that entails, but good god, was this ice cream fantastic. Easily places in the Top 5 of my Ice Cream list. If you love ice cream, you owe it to yourself and your family... and friends to try this place! ”
