Reviews of Jarling's Custard Cup
Iza Cyran
Always amazing and I got help from Ashley who is just such a cheery person and made my bad day so much better!
This positive uplifting atmosphere and not to mention the delicious custard- couldn't have asked for a better establishment in Champaign. Truly a pillar of excellence in the community due to people like Ashley!
Elif Asar
My friends like their ice-cream a lot. This place has a walk-in and drive thru. There are outdoor seats available. Beware the melted ice cream on the seats and on the table. Available parking on the premises. This store seems very popular and I can understand why! Check it out!
Kamika Portis
I love that they are open year around now! My favorite is the lemon. Absolutely love it. Friendly staff and good service. But because it's so yummy, beware of the lines.... but well worth the wait.
Josh H
Jarling's may have a better overall, custard selection. But that Lemon Custard will never top Krekles Lemon Custard. Go to Decatur,IL get a double burger and a lemon cone with or without sprinkles and tell me I'm lying. Jarling's is still 5 stars, hands down, zero hate. Absolutely love this place.
Trish Zeiss
Super friendly place. The custard was delicious. Many toppings to pick from. Not overpriced at all. Love showing love to Local shops!!!
Andrew Gray
What more can another 5 star review say that the other hundreds haven't already? Let me put it this way - the only downside to this place is that you know it's open and you want to go every night. My wallet and my bathroom scale don't appreciate that, but my tastebuds and stomach sure do!
Derrick Bradshaw
Not bad ice cream at all. I fashion myself, at the expense of my belly, to be an ice cream specialist. While I would say this ice cream is the best, I do place this ice cream at the top of my must visit when in town ice creams. The seating is outside and the business was well staffed. They moved through the orders quickly.
Ankit Chainani
Ice cream at its best!!
Seasonal Ice cream shop with drive through option.
E.H. Shim
great ice cream, good value, homemade waffle comes/cups. Great service and pie
Youngsung Byun
One of my favorite ice cream places on earth!
The strawberry shortcake and banana split snow storm is the top two! It's always packed during summer days, but the place is always well-organized, with friendly staff. Hands down for this place :)
Aleksey Krylov
This place is legendary. Always busy. Always delicious.
Tammie Weatherly
Wish they had more flavors available at a time, but these new-to-Chambana folks are enjoying this fun treatery very much. Really enjoyed the tortoise sundae at our recent visit.
Mark Haney
So this isn't just about amazing custard but about a Champaign tradition. If you've never been, go. Be prepared to wait if it's a weekend evening, but that's just part of the experience. When you consider the speed at which they fulfill orders, it really is amazing.
Lauren D
It was my first time trying out Jarling’s after all the hype some of my friends and fellow townies this place brought. I love the local/vintage vibe this place brings, and the custard itself tasted so good! I’ll definitely come back for sure
Dan Bartlett
I remembered this place always being very busy when I was in grad school, and when I visited recently it still was. My son really enjoyed his cone. The person from whom we ordered was friendly and so was the person who served the ice cream.
Montana
Great soft serve ice cream. The banana split is massive, definitely meant for two people but I managed it myself when I buckled down and put in the effort.
Isabella Schepisi
definitely worth the hype! seriously delicious ice cream
Tracey Zillman
If options and custard are your thing, you can’t do better than this place. Cold fudge is their thing and if you are a hot fudge fan you have to try it! I’ve not had a custard there I didn’t like!
Julia Near and Far
Jarling's Custard Cup has great ice cream. Long lines move fast as plenty of employees are making delicious treats. There is outdoor seating on picnic tables.
adi buffalo
the best ice cream place you'll find anywhere. their cold fudge is to die for, it is so perfect
Frank Garcia
This is the best ice cream place I have ever been to in my life. Let’s be honest, no one really likes living in Champaign Urbana, but 10/10 would visit again just to get this place. Also, I met Tom Hanks here one day as well! Guess he’s a fan.
Ann Schotz
Our treats were spot-on! The service was good - friendly and timely! It smelled divine inside!! Perhaps from the waffle cones? I was a little disappointed in the outside appearance of and around the building; trash laying around, custard streaks down the glass on the door and window and all over the outside of the trash can, etc.
De Lebrón
The best ice cream in town.
Suvira Gupta
The ice creams and ice cream sodas are just amazing. The place is old and quite chilled inside .but the ice teams were amazing. A must try
Osayd Abdu
One of the best ice cream around the area, they also have lots of flavors and toppings that they can also mix for you. I would encourage being brave and trying several combinations of flavors along with various toppings. It’s great ice cream or the name.
Nils Oberg
They've improved the drive-thru experience significantly in the last few years, and their operations seem fairly streamlined. The place always seems immaculate and bright. The staff are generally friendly and polite, almost reminds me of an ice cream parlor from a generation or two ago, as is portrayed in the movies. I would go on a romantic date there, grab some treats, then go walk at the nearby park. Or just hang out with some of my friends and chill on the picnic tables outside. I feel though that the custard/ice cream is sightly overpriced despite it being delicious.
sue hoag
Chocolate ice cream, with peanut butter as a milkshake. All the boys in the yard need to being me one of those. They are amazing.
Ashley Siebels
This is the exact place you want to find on a road trip. Retro vibes. Friendly locals. Lovely custard. Try the black and white sundae!
Patricia Gaddis
First visit, what a treat! Fudge sauce and butterscotch are made in house,the custard is creamy and delicious. If you are going through the drive through, look at the menu beforehand, there is so much to choose from, it can be overwhelming. Rest assured whatever you choose will be great, don't miss it!
Matthew New
Loads of options, friendly staff, delicious ice cream. I wish they would have had some non-dairy ice cream.
Paul Brown
Best ice cream / custard around. The pumpkin pie snowstorm is delightful
Rich Whitehead
Great selection, always a delight. I love the ice cream but this stop I went with a sleet(slushie drink) and was excellent. Made my drive home more pleasant
Steve Aupperle
I look forward to stopping at Jarlings whenever I am back I Champaign-Urbana. I found a new love this year, lemon custard in a waffle cone. It gets really busy at night. I went during the day this trip.
Kurt Wagner
Get a snowstorm (the junior is pretty big)! Get a waffle basket! Get cold fudge! It's all amazing! (They have a punch card for snowstorms if you get addicted)
Bradford Ogata
A must-visit every time we're in Champaign!
Sundaes, shakes, and concrete are all good, but I often prefer simply getting a few scoops in a cone or dish.
Nikita
A favorite to visit in the summers when visiting Champaign. Love their lemon custard. Their cold fudge is pretty great too.
Tim Witek
Definitely a cool local business to check out if you're visiting Champaign. Visited for the first time recently and wasn't too impressed by the custard itself, but the old school ice cream stand aesthetic was nice. Love visiting local businesses like this. Line was pretty long and the drive-thru window takes away from the people who actually want to sit outside and enjoy some custard. Not bad, but not perfect.
Connie J Carstens
Exceptional custard with cold fudge! Quick service with smiles. Grateful friend and fellow quilter Carole Fay was willing to stop for great on way home from Danville today.
Sushant Dutt
Cool place. The best place in town for icecream and custard.
Cody Millard
This place never disappoints..grow old and fat with the delicious custard!
Mimi Rivera
Yesterday, around 730p we went out for ice cream. The line inside was outside. The drive through had 8-9 cars ahead of us. We waited in car 20 mins. It was worth the wait. Love it. We had a tortoise with almonds and a Berry Delightful parfait. Both were excellent.
Subhendu Pandit
The best ice-cream in Urbana-Champaign!
Katharina Soto
This place is located right off the university and has some of the best ice cream/custard in town! I definitely recommend trying the lemon flavored custard! IT IS DELICIOUS! Only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5, is they are VERY POPULAR so there is usually a wait during peak times ( after work/school).
Ryan Mayle
Phenomenal custard. Don't sleep on the cake batter when it's available.
Mary Kate Kuchers
Amazing custard! I’m not from here but if I was, I’d go here all the time. Friendly employees -great customer service!
Cassidy Jones
I loved when my dad brought home the lemon custard as a kid and now I enjoy bringing my own kids here!
Christine Boyd
Good custard, but they skimp on the topics. Which is annoying since you have to pay a dollar for extras.
Ace Charger
Very good service was nice and custard was good 👍🏽 …
Bob Curry
My ice cream order taking suggested trying key lime ice cream with the pina coloda snowstorm. Boy was she right !!! Delicious
Jay Aviana
This restaurant is one of the best ice cream places around town. Ive tried many different menus here, but I especially recommend the snowtorm and the lemon custard icecream. The strong lighting coming off the exterior gives a great outdoor experience through the night time as well. A big thumbs-up overall.
André Schleife
This place is awesome and a staple here in town. Their frozen custard is delicious and I particularly recommend the Banana Split Snowstorm. Order it with the custard of the week to add some variation. So awesome, all year round!
Mauricio Olivares
One of the best ice creams I've tried, this place is a local treasure
Ryan Roark
Pros: Best ice cream and frozen custard around hands down. Also decently priced. Very fair for an ice cream parlor considering their quality and options. High energy friendly staff. Cons: parking lot too small for business, have passed on by many times when intending to go becsuse drive thru line was backed up to main road. Also, they have messed up my order several times including a bday cake once (we ate it anyway and rolled with it because the mistake was also something we all liked), mistaken orders are more frequent than i feel they should be for a place of this nature. Bright side, it evens out most of the time because everything is super good from there. Except when you order and pay for a large and get a small. Thats no fun. Overall, definitely worth repeat visits.
Brad Brown
There is nothing quite like Jarling's cold fudge Sundae. This is our favorite ice-cream (custard) in Champaign!
Khang Ngo
Smell good as soon as you drive by.
This is a visit spot if you happen to be in CU.
It is very close to the stadium, so it's a good dessert after a game. Well, the shop woll get very crowded in the summer, especially in the afternoon. They have drive through if you don't wanna be standing in a line. You will be in a line anyway, but driving 😄
As the name, they are specialized in custard ice cream. There are so many flavors, and the most common one is lemon, chocolate, and strawberry. At least for me, those are.
You should consider a mix of flavors. Well, if you are too much in love for strawberry 🍓, go for it. No judging.
Price is reasonable for a cup of ice cream.
The space is small, no place to sit inside. There are some benches in front, but limited. There are like six of them.
I usually drive through, then take a walk in the park nearby, or on campus.
Very good choice for a summer walk and talk with some friends or your love ones.
ChromaGD
Best ice cream I've ever had.
Chetana Divakar
Very quaint shop with a wide selection of icecreams, custards, sundaes and more. However not a big fan of their brownie or butterscotch flavor ice cream. They have benches put out which is a very nice way to spend the summer months eating ice cream!!
Marilee Wagner
“Jarling’s Custard Cup” is a hometown favorite place to take friends and family! Their custard is so refreshing on a hot summer day! Love to stop there at night for an after dinner treat! Their menu has lots of flavors and toppings to choose from that it makes it easy for everyone to get their own delicious creations made!
Cindy Stover
Delicious! I was in town for a conference, but was not going to leave town without a visit to Jarling's. I remember it from my days in grad school. I had vanilla with cold fudge, one of their specialties! They do have a lot to choose from.
Rajat Prakash
Some great things about Jarling's: Great tasting servings with so many options. Ability to get a single scoop (that many ice-cream shops don't offer any more). Very soft frozen yogurt that is lighter than regular ice-cream.
Robert M. (robmak3)
The best ice cream in UC, and it's very good. Jarlings is not a scoop shop, choose one of the few great flavors and get some toppings. Their specialty is the fudge, if you don't get it you're missing out.
This isn't in the same league as the costal titans of Salt & Straw or Van Leewen, but a must try if you're in the area.
Michelle L
This place is the bomb! From out of state and omg it was good! Definitely loved it. Y'all this is the place to go if you want dessert! Will definitely try it again and recommend it to everyone to check this place out! Fyi it's packed and busy but the line moves well and it's worth the wait!
Brett Penick
If a friend comes from out of town, this is a place you visit. So good.
Beth Chan
Always delicious. Great custards, the lemon is my favorite. Snowstorms are awesome with a huge range of options that can be mixed and made with any flavor custard they have on request. The sleets are a great non dairy option and they even have green river as a flavor which I almost never see anywhere. This place has been as local favorite for decades and every visit is a reminder of why it's awesome. They recently reordered how they take the lines for ordering and pick up and it seems more streamlined so that's great too!
Elizabeth Moscoso Anderson
Jarling's is a local ice cream gem! They offer a huge assortment of frozen custard, as well as ice cream staples like a banana split or sundae. I had a banana split and my partner had chocolate in a large waffle cone. Some words about our choices - you definitely get your money's worth and a little extra! They were very generous in their servings and the staff are just as sweet as the products Jarling's sells.
So why is this a 4 star review and not a 5 star review? If you are craving ice cream on a weekday or weekend evening (like we were), you will be waiting for a *long* while. Additional word of caution: you *will* be cut in line. Stand your ground and get your ice cream - it will be well worth the wait!
Kate Gardiner
Jarling's has won "Best Ice Cream in Illinois" several times for a reason! The cold fudge sundae is a staple and one time they had cappuccino as their flavor of the week - I still think about it sometimes!
Unfortunately, I moved out of the area and they have ruined ice cream/frozen custard for me because everywhere I go I just think "it's okay but it's not as good as Jarlings."
Elaine Wang
First time trying frozen custard. I liked the strawberry and lemon flavors, extremely light and fresh.
Brent D. Payne
Amazing ice cream, ahem, I mean custard. Love Jarling’s. Thank you for being so amazing!!
Lost N. Humanity
Voted best dessert in the Big Ten, this place is a local favorite. Outdoor, festival-style seating makes for a fun social experience when the weather’s nice. It’s always crowded, but the crew works fast. Their snowstorms are their version of a “custard concrete” with lots of delicious mix-ins & several flavors of custard “base” to choose from. My favorite here is the Black & White, a marshmallow-cold fudge sundae with vanilla custard. The cold fudge is super thick &/goes so well with the creaminess of the custard.
Angela Alburei
Super delicious custard! I got a fudge brownie sundae and it was amazing. It tastes fresh. My friends got a banana split, a shake, and a cone. All of which were great! Lots of outdoor seating is available, plenty of parking, and the staff was friendly.
anne e mrozek
Cold fudge sundaes are the best! Extra delightful if the flavor of the day is wild cherry and you get a wild cherry cold fudge sundae. Willing to bet everything is good though.
Mark Smith
I love Jarling's. Everything there I have ever tried head been fantastic. I was saddened to hear a couple of years ago about it possibly closing Thank goodness. Every U of I students should visit this place that is so close to memorial Stadium.
Angela D'Agostino Merceret she-her
Our first experience here. The menu seems to be entirely too convoluted for an ice cream shop. The woman behind the counter was less than helpful, throwing more options than necessary for someone who had never been there. I told her I'd like something small, simple, and popular. She proceeded to ask me 7 different questions and gave me countless options to taste... too complicated. Just stop, already!
What I ended up with was good, I guess. But it doesn't stand out from any other ice cream place, in my mind.
Felivi Xantri
The aroma of freshly made waffle bowls is apparent as soon as you walk through the door. Friendly and knowledgeable staff kindly answers any questions. Rich flavors and a wide variety of toppings and mix-ins provides many opportunities for repeat visits to try something new.
BJ Kennedy
Lemon Chiffon Pie soft serve w Marshmallow Creme topping💞💖 Need I say more? O yes...a Turtle😻 …
Jordyn Wagner
Pretty good prices for the amount you get. Really good custard. Definitely will be returning for more. There is no indoor seating. You order inside and eat outside on picnic tables. I got a double scoop strawberry custard in a waffle cone. It was really good but really large. Also you need to eat fast because the waffle cone is homemade so the custard leaks through as you eat.
Vonzell Mansfield
Honestly one of the best custards I've ever had. I really like strawberry shakes and the ones here have made it to my top 3 of all time. There are many choices you chose from and it's all reasonably prices. Portion sizes are slightly on the smaller side in my opinion, but quality is top notch
Ross Wagstaff
Really good ice cream. The custard flavors are excellent. There are confusing signs about the flavors. There are only five custard flavors and a ton of flavors for a blizzard like dish. Large waffle come with custard us the best dish. Reasonably priced as well.
rajesh dani
It was wonderful with choice of so many varieties of icecream. The behaviour of the staff needs to be mentioned for they were so nice and cooperative
Michael Woods
This is the best custard and their famous cold fudge is to die for!
Christopher Arnott
The custard is great you can go wrong on a hot day. Strawberry is the best
Kathryn Wilson
A local tradition that is still doing well. They are back to full hours. We went about 3:15 and service was relatively quick in the drive through. Great custard!
Jonathan Booth
People used to put up with the legendary lines for a reason. The new owners had fixed the line issues, although covid has brought them back in the drive thru, unfortunately. It is still as tasty as ever, at least!
James Wang
The employees are very friendly and efficient. The menu is very large with a lot to choose from. The ice cream itself is delicious and not just soft serve. the environment creates a old 1962 1970s era feel.
Damaris Rodriguez
Really good ice cream! Long lines and it took a while for us to get of there, but it was a Sunday and people just kept showing up. Side see toon of flavors and toppings.
CG Facer
The staff is friendly and attentive, and often times, the long line moves along well enough. But candidly, I don't really see what the fuss is all about. I get the appeal of the "Local Ice Cream Shop", but when you compare this to a Haagen-Dazs or an Emack and Bolio's, it's just not as good. 5 star entity, 3 star custard, 4 star review.
Hayley Colletti (Scalara)
Absolutely love the deluxe brownie sundae, highly recommend it if you don't know what to get. I like that I can customize it so much. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try if you like custard/ice cream. My fiancé and I love going here as a little treat once in a while.
For Pokemon Go players: there's a gym or two.
William Perdichizzi
4 stars but may update to 5 once I've been there more than once. But no complaints thus far. They have a wide selection of treats from floats to shakes to snowstorms (my assumption is those are similar to DQ's. Blizzards) and of course they're custard for regular scoops. They also have sundaes too. We got the regular custard on our first try and got them in the waffle baskets which look to be made onsite. The custard is nice and smooth and not too dense. Flavor balance is really good, not overpowering. Service was friendly and the prices are reasonable. Will definitely come back to try other items on the menu. Definitely recommend as this place was recommended to us.
Haley Miller
Jarling's is a Champaign staple. I generally check their Facebook page for the flavor of the week before heading over.
Danielle Alexander
I had a mishap with my order and the manager Ashlee was so quick to respond to my email and made it right. I love this place and will definitely be going back! It’s always busy there and I love to see it! Great little gem in CU
Vmena 2
Our order was made faster than the customer before us. I had the banana split which was verh yummy. I like that they a weekly special flavor. This weeks was cappuccino, I don't like coffee, so I didn't try it. Social distancing and mask guidelines were in place.
Jakob Stroud
Great local ice cream and custard! They are known for the lemon custard which I would highly recommend! It can get busy but they have a very nice drive through if you are on the go. If not you can sit outside and enjoy your icecream!
Charlie Grier
Great frozen custard with cold fudge.
Tina YK Choi
3 of us went and all of us got snowstorms.
I think junior size is good for after meal dessert, or regular for afternoon snack lol
1. Apple cobbler - would recommend. I don’t usually like fruity ice cream, but this was good. It got cobbler crunchy pieces in it that makes it a good balance to ice cream
2. Caramel and cookie dough - Not recommend. I don’t think they have this on the menu, but you can add toppings in it. I could not taste caramel AT ALL. That was disappointing.
3. Brownie - would recommend. It looks more like cookies n’ cream when it was all made, but you get bits of brownie in every bite!
Tymothé Willis
So if you want to taste the best custard in your life, go there. Many flavors to select from. I personally recommend the snowstorms. My personal favorite is to get a blueberry cobbler and a peanut butter snowstorm and eat them both. Tastes like a PBJ. You know a place is good based on the crowd and the repeat business.
Maricela Lopez
Always a treat coming here. Recently moved away but I miss this place. Frozen yogurt and regular ice cream just isn't the same as custard from Jarling's. Berry delight is my favorite snowstorm there!
Amanda Palla
The new owners have finally improved the ordering process, after 20+ years of chaos. The custard is wonderful and there are so many fantastic mix in options. Now that there is a single, well-organized line we come here more often and don't leave frustrated with the crazy wait time. Jarlings will always be my favorite custard place!
Aaron Hollenbeck
Great place and fast service. I will return next time I’m in the area.
Zarin Tasnim
I loved the variety of ice cream and custards. really yummy.
It would be better if they try to introduce some items with sweet fruits, honey and other sweeteners instead of sugar, or semi sweet custard options.
Betty Gauze
Always Delicious and Fun to sit out front enjoying Custard with lots of other Custard devotees! My Friend Alex has her first job, at Jarlings and is learning lots of skillsets as an employee,and enjoying meeting and serving customers!
Allan Hann
This place is a delight. Flavors and toppings are diverse and delicious
Ben Brenner
Their toppings selection is great. They have something for everyone. They also have several flavors of custard now. The options are almost overwhelming. The turtle sundae is great. The cold fudge and butterscotch/caramel are decadent. Having Hessel Park right across the street is perfect to walk off the calories.
Talmadge Fletchall
Jarling's is good and the drive thru line moves fairly quickly. You should know however that their custard is a light custard and is not as rich as others.
Nick “Nicko” Johnson
Best custard in town and probably central Illinois. You have to try it!
Matt Sly
A long standing icon in the CU, it is a great place for custard! If you haven't been, make plans to do so! Enjoy the weather while you sit and enjoy your treat on a picnic table outside.
Chance Neff
The custard is just as good as I remember it. The chocolate is particularly delicious.
Mark Michaelis
As good as I remember 30 years ago.
Athari Nashi
The best ice cream you will find it her specilly Lemon Cheese Ice Cream ، I miss this place so much 😭 …
Emily Shinkle
Delicious. I like to get custard with cold fudge but everything they have seems to be good. Rumor is that Tom Hanks likes to frequent Jarling's when he visits his brother who's a professor at the University. Don't be intimidated if there is a line, it moves very quickly. There's also a drive thru if you don't want to get out of your car. If you do want to eat at the restaurant, they have some seats inside as well as some picnic tables outside.
Ashley Mitek
Awesome service and ice cream!! Big thank you to Joshua for helping our kids have a great experience :-). He went the extra mile to help them pick out the right cone and was just amazing. Thank you Joshua!!!
Jonathan Larson
Jarling's is a Champaign area classic. I tell everyone who comes to visit to try it. The custard is always on point. My favorite is the cold-fudge sundae. One time though, the cold fudge was not quite right: it was runnier than usual, but an employee told me it might have been out of the freezer too long. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt and I'll try it again the next time I go. On hot summer weekends, expect a line, sometimes up to a 15 minute wait. But it's soo worth it! There are a few seats inside, but not many. No public restrooms either that I could see. There are benches along the side of the building and picnic tables out front.
EDIT: Tried the cold fudge again and it was perfect. That one time it was runny must have been a fluke.
Alyssa Scott
I've been coming here for as long as I can remember. The best hand crafted ice cream ever with so many flavor choices to choose from and they do flavors of the week. Honestly you need to try it!!
Very retro atmosphere :) love it
Abby Boyer
They have a good choice of toppings to go on their sundaes and snowstorms like cookie dough, mango, and chocolate syrup (those are only a couple of items out of the 15+ toppings available). They also serve phosphates which I have yet to try. The wait can be longer in the summer evenings but they have outdoor benches where you can sit while you eat
Benjamin Khachaturian
I love Jarlings. The store smells SO GOOD. It really is a classic smell. Decor is good. I feel that the building could be renovated to look a little newer. Service is very good. I know the owner and he is a great guy. I appreciate the integrity of all of the workers. God bless Jarlings! :)
Nick Lannan
Jarlings is a wonderful custard joint that can be quite the popular place to go for a great cup of delicious goodness and smiles. They have tons of flavors and have hired on a lot more staff members to help the line move more quickly. It can be crowded at times, but it's worth every minute.
Nicholas Yaw
A great deal of icy treats to choose from. Ordered two scoops of lemon custard with a waffle basket. The taste was good and the portion was generous. Felt full after finishing the whole thing.
Aaron H
There's not much I can say about Jarling's that a thousand people haven't already posted. But anything good that you've read is all true.
Lemon custard. Eat a lot of it. It is absurdly delicious. But so is everything they serve. Just saying, lemon is maybe the best thing ever.
Kirk Lord
Can't really say anything that isn't obvious by now. They are the best place for cold treats within a few hundred miles. Go. Wait in line. Buy a smile.
Deanna Woods
To put it mildly, my body doesn't love dairy, but it doesn't stop me from coming here! Also, their cold fudge should be a sin! Go now!
Sarah e. Baldwin
My doggies sure love this place and on occasion we will make the trip from Mahomet just to get them a vanilla waffle cone to share!
Vaughn Page
Jarling's Custard Cup remains the undisputed champ of frozen dairy deserts! I have been a customer for at least 55 yrs. I've tried every frozen dairy desert I could & no one has come close in taste, texture, & consistency.
Travis Schiess (TravvyTacos)
The best ice cream joint in town just got better. The new owners kept the same high quality custard and ice cream treats, and greatly improved the ordering/lineup system so the wait times have gotten a lot better!
Erfan Mohammadi
My favorite ice cream shop in Urbana-Champaign. I love the snow storms and highly recommend Pinacolada! They are very large and junior size is good enough for a person.
I don’t recommend ice cream cakes though.
David Victor
Fantastic old school custard shop. A dizzying array of options with old school offerings such as shakes, malts, phosphates and sodas. New school candy and fruit mix ins too. Expect to wait in line and eat your treats outside on the picnic benches.
Lory Johnson
I was very happy with my icecream.
Jennifer Van Antwerp
Make their own custard...like soft serve but delicious. Have vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, lemon, and a special flavor of week. Can get cones, sundaes, blizzards with mix-ins.
Service was fast and efficient. Bathrooms in poor shape: womebs room out of order and men's room out of soap. We were there 45 minutes on a busy Saturday night abdvsaw no employees check or clean restrooms.
Nick Wong
Never attended UIUC, but I'm so happy my friends who attended and lived in the area showed me this place. Always make it a priority to stop by here when I am visiting now. Always trying a new flavor too everytime, only like 100 more combinations to try!
David M
Best ice cream in town! Great family spot. Can get crowded sometimes, but are well organized and seem safe during the pandemic.
Frank Filippi
They're a staple in the champagn Urbana area Anybody's been here for a while loves to go there in the summer. Fast service friendly people and good ice cream or custard
Jacob Emberton
Fantastic local favorite, I've been going here for over 30 years. The new owners have actually improved the service and some of the menu items. If you're looking for a great dessert or a treat, this is the place to go.
Hunter Wiseley
A town classic, and very good for it. Everything here is super good and everyone is super nice.
Logan Orr
I always love Jarling's! Very refreshing and creamy. I recommend the snowstorms and I will be back next time I visit Champaign!
Matt Phillips
Like a lot of people, I've enjoyed this place since I was a kid. Still the best place by far in Champaign. The new owners have done a great job modernising the workflow (taking credit cards is a big improvement) even though on the outside it still looks exactly the same.
Brian Black
Great custard. It's not the richest or creamiest, but it's solid.
Heath Carr
Lots of choices and all so good. Everything is better with fudge.
Amanda Wheatley
First time here today and was very happy when we left. Love the lemon!!
Rebecca Corman
I'm a big custard fan (grew up in STL), but Jarling's just isn't that great. It always tastes a little too eggy for me. I like that they offer frozen bananas - after being disappointed with the custard they give me something to order when my friends want to go.
Amy Obyrn
Dessert after evening meal. Great ice cream
Mitchell Ruble
I love Jarling's and always have since I was a kid. It tastes amazing and the lines don't lie. Thankfully the line moves quickly as the workers do a great job getting it out for the customers. Definitely recommend going here.
lupitha alvarado
I love my vanilla Sunday with sprinkles, workers are always nice no matter how busy they are.
Great place.
Joe Kraemer
The best ice cream in town! Love to go there in the summer. There is plenty of outdoor seating. Sometimes it is hard to find parking but you can find space in the county market across the street
eric mcafee
I was visiting town and had to stop in. I used to love coming here back when I was in high school. The place hasn't missed a beat. Great stuff! Now that they're open year 'round, I'll be stopping in more often!
Kristin Rhodes
This is HANDS DOWN the best ice cream/custard I've ever had. Delicious and amazing. Also, the smell of the waffle cones is intoxicating. 😍 …
Derek Cornelius
This is the best ice cream in Champaign Urbana area! One of my favorite treats to get!
Joel Cox
Frozen Custard... Duh!
Lacy Sample
Absolutely amazing custard best around if you ask me i highly recommend this place to anyone in search of an amazingly good cold treat they even have some sugar free stuff as well and me being diabetic this option is absolutely amazing the workers are always extremely friendly too great place to go.
Matt W
Champaign summer staple for decades. Still the same old building and recipe. This is a great example of how some things are best just left alone the way they are. Always a treat with top quality food at a great price.
Alex Uhlarik
Their lemon custard is to die for! I've tried a few of the other flavors and they were great as well. I only wish they didn't close for the winter because I'd keep going there.
Duane Davis
A more vintage style building with good frozen yogurt in a variety of flavors. The bulding was clean.
We had four items in our order. Two of the items were completely wrong.
Dot
Some of the best custard I've ever had!! Very efficient staff and perfect ice cream shop vibe... Definitely coming again!
Corey Mabry
Ice cream was pretty good 😋 …
Boaztheostrich
I got the kit Kat snowstorm it was good but the junior was still pretty big which can be seen as both a positive and a negative, all in all it was a good experience. One thing that surprised me positively was their technological advancement within the restaurant, they utilived iPads and a TV turned sideways.
Miranda Sellers
Amazing lemon custard, open late
August Schiess
Jarlings has always been my favorite place for ice cream in CU, and the new check out system vastly improved the experience. I almost always get the cold fudge.
Manuel Colón
Jarlings is open again for the season! I'm a fan of just the traditional cone with one or two scoops. But, there are plenty of other frozen dairy delicacies just waiting for you here. They use store-specific names for their products, so you might need to ask around before you actually order.
Alex Howe
Delicious homemade frozen custard. Had the Lemon Pie Snowstorm. Lemon flavored custard with vanilla wafers. Was perfect after a day of frisbee golf in the park.
J P
A Champaign classic. Not the best custard on the planet, but still ranks right up there. A seemingly endless number of choices on their menu. Fast service. Slightly overpriced? If you've not tried it before, make sure you do.
Rebecca Chen Dean
Simple, no-frills stop for custard. There are a few benches indoors, mostly outdoor seating. There is also a drive thru. Check out their flavor of the week.
Jon
Best ice cream shop in Chambana. This place gets crowded on summer evenings. Classic, old-school frozen custard shop. If you are looking for gelato, this is not the place to go.
Arianna Aquino
So tasty! Gets pretty crowded but that's the price to pay for delicious custard.
Aplustradomus
Ice cream always on point,no matter how cold it is outside.great family location..staff is nice..and always cute girls there,can't go wrong😊🤘🏾 …
Justin Sun
A local staple that is both tasty and very reasonably priced. Hands down some of the best ice cream in the area and it has rotating specialty flavors dependant on the seasons!
Mason Anders
Delicious custard. Old timey atmosphere. Several flavors to choose from plus a flavor of the week.
Only downside is lines can get absolutely crazy at certain times but that's just a tribute to how good it is
Holly LaPrade
Just an awesome spot for frozen treats. 1000 x's better than DQ or any franchise place. This place is always amazing
Lee Burton
Best custard in the state of Illinois, hands down. When we are there visiting family we try to stop by at least two-three times...strawberry custard with sliced bananas it the best!
Nathan Butterick
I love ice cream and this is the best place for great flavored ice cream. Today I didn't know what I wanted and the staff was more then happy to make suggestions . Which I tried what they suggested it was amazing.
Jennifer McBroom
Always awesome! I highly recommend the tortoise sundae with pecans, it is butterscotch and cold fudge, the sauce from scratch is delicious!
Barb Gentry
Best frozen lemon custard on the planet!
Patricia Pyle
Jarlings, yes! If you are in Champaign, and you have never been to Jarlings, seriously, you need to go! Lemon custard! Also, they have a blueberry pie snowstorm that is super awesome.
New management changed the line structure, which has improved the wait a lot actually.
Wesley Bland
Everything here is awesome but I'm always disappointed by their speed. I know that they can be very busy but even when I'm the only one there it's slow. Unfortunately, they don't appear to be in a hurry to fix this since they sell t-shirts about how bad it is.
cedric arizo
Had the German chocolate ice cream (pecans and caramel added on).
YUM.
Luke Smucker
Always love the ice cream here. Staff was friendly and it smelled like fresh waffle cones. Tons of flavor, a must eat.
許智能(Sodio Hsu)
great ice cream
Sailesh Canchi
Banana Split Sundae at Jarling's Custard is awesome!!
A must vist place :)
Stephanie Schaffer
I went to the University of Illinois for my engineering degree, and Jarling's ruined me for the rest of my life on custard. You won't find better custard anywhere, it's obscenely and unfairly good here. I live in Utah now, and when I brought my boyfriend to Champaign on a vacation in June we walked several miles out of our way to come to Jarling's, and then I ruined him too. Sorry love! Jarling's, if you feel like opening a location in Utah, I would love you long time.
As an extra note, apparently a while ago Jarling's was bought from the original owners by a bunch of investors from the UofI (alumni, staff, sports players, etc). I was concerned when I heard about this, usually investors will bastardize a good thing to make more money. But I can confirm these people are true fans of Jarling's and have preserved its legacy perfectly. What a relief! Thanks guys for keeping Jarling's just as amazing as I remembered it!
Honest & Truthful
Loved this place since I was a kid! They have the best strawberry custard!
Brandon Ngai
A must-try ice cream experience in the Champaign area, I only wished they had more options, especially for those who are lactose intolerant.
Josh King
The product here has always been really good, and with the new owners the service is SO much better. If this review had been done a year ago it would have only been 3 stars because of the service. Nevermind the fact that under the old owners they wouldn't even be open at all during this time of year.
Scott Campbell
Like Whitey's in the Quad Cities or Ted Drewes in St Louis, a homey, local alternative to national chains. No need for DQ or Baskin Robbins when this is an option. Busy parking lot & lots of outdoor tables
Korey McWilliams
Tough to find anything other than positives to say about Jarling's. Never been disappointed!
Sameen B.
Rich taste, has the authenticity of homemade, natural ice cream. As a Jersey girl, it had me very reminiscent of our proud hometown ice cream company, Halo Farm!
ANG Main
Super friendly, and great custard
S Bakall
A Champaign-Urbana landmark.... we stop here every time we're down visiting our kids at University of Illinois. The ice cream custard is so yummy and perfect at any time.
Carri Rasing
I absolutely love the cold fudge at Jarlings! Every time I go through CU I have to stop and get a medium or large vanilla custard with the cold fudge.
Carrie York
Was not impressed. 1st time ever going there wanted a special that was posted very large on menu and it easy available. Didn't notice anything better than Culvers custard.
Dannielle jackson
We drive almost two hours round trip to get ice cream here . I get berry delightful parfait .. but all their snowstorms are fantastic too
Stephen
A staple of Urbana-Champaign, Jarling's offers remarkably smooth, flavorful fare with their signature cold-fudge topping. The external seating is wonderful for hot summer months, and the statf are invariably friendly and helpful.
Jason (JP)
Visited Jarling's with the family for a sweet treat while passing through. Staff was friendly and helpful in recommending local favorites. Huge selection to pick from. Would definitely return for another visit!
Caleb Campos
Best ice cream in Champaign. 👍👍 …
Chris Johnson
Delicious! A nice treat with a unique take on ice cream with cold instead of hot fudge.
Rohit B
I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. Love it. Strawberry shortcake, banana split, and the tortoise (fudge and butterscotch mix) are my go to!
Raaa Mmmm
I love the strawberry flavor it’s my favorite 🍓 …
Elad Y
Nostalgia in a cone. A sweet and delicious serving of the 80s and 90s... I usually stick to the simple flavors: chocolate and vanilla, but sometimes venture to other options.
Helen Ye
Very cute little custard shop. The lines can get very long most times of the day, so be prepared. The flavour selection is huge!
Kris Peters
It was very good. Prices a little high but will definitely go again. The girl that took our order at the drive thru and took our money was very friendly...
Michael Regilio
My first trip here was in July of 2021 and what a local gem this is. Go here. Stop reading now and get in the car. Seriously. Now. Why are you still reading? Go!!
Keith Wessel
Best frozen custard in Champaign-Urbana and possibly anywhere else, too. try a scoop of the lemon custard topped with cold fudge.
Cu Phung
Great ice cream 🍦 place for the hot summer days. It's the best ice cream place in Champaign. …
angela horath
Changed a lot in the past three years. Don't care for the divided lobby. Makes getting through difficult. Noticed some menu items are gone as well. Plus, not as clean anymore with baseboards and bench legs dirty, walls with smudges, trash in lobby and outside with staff standing around. Hmm?
Ed Krol
For years this place has had great soft serve treats and a really bad line management algorithm. They finally reconfigured the front of the store to be able to actually serve their customers.
Kimberly Althaus
It as good their milkshakes are good Had a cocunt ice cream w/ blueberries in it
Laurie Pillman
This place has been there since the 60s and you can tell they know their stuff. Fantastic custard. Will totally visit again.
Randall England
The custard was good, but we had their version of the blizzard. It did not have very much fixings in them. I would go to Culvers instead.
Ken Keefe
Great local frozen custard stand with a lot of options. It is really busy, so be prepared for a wait. But, it is totally worth it.
Pim van Kamperdijk
Snicker parfait 🙌🏼 great treat!
Will certainly come back for more …
Shreya Seth
Loved it! Probably the best ice cream in the CU area.
Nick Zitzmann
Jarling's doesn't have the variety that, say, Ben & Jerry's has... But what they do have is really good. Try the flavor of the week.
Ryan Curtis
Live in Bloomington and was in town on business. This was some good ice cream! I would definitely come back if I was in the area
jannat jhumu
Try their key lime cheesecake, it's awesome and you will thank me for sure 😋 …
Carson McCall
Great ice cream and great staff! Definitely worth a visit!
Myeong Caleb Lee
My favorite place since I moved this town. I always have their vanila waffle basket. My kids have chocolate snowstorm. Try some!
Greg Purnell
Got one scoop of Georgia Peach and one of vanilla. It was great! Perfect summer treat.
Cody Mast
The service is fast, and awesome. The ice cream is fantastic. Highly recommended!
Briane Amodeo
Recommended by local high school student, checked it out and was amazed! I love custard, but this was exactly what was needed after a long day at work and before a long drive home
Alex Pihlstrom
Knockoff of Dairy Queen blizzards. I only gave them 3 stars cause of the good customer service and the great music while you eat your blizzard with not enough toppings in it.
Torri Leek
Fast service and sooo many options. It was really good. They have outdoor seating in the front which is nice. There were enough seats to prevent it being overcrowded. The place was also very clean.
Jack Hatcher
Have always loved this place, some of the best staff and ice cream in the CU
Jo Jo Winkelmann
Really yummy & good price. Toppings were amazing, the custard was pretty good
Abdu Alawini
Best ICE Cream place in the Midwest :)

Lillian Kan
We all have a good memory when we're in the ice cream shop. Highly recommend for the brownies with the vanilla ice cream.

Ji Young Kim
The lemon custards are the best! Also, get the coconut custards if you can, it is usually not on the regular menu, but on the weekly special!
Zubair
Tried the custard sundae. Not the best. More expensive than competitors and with one less topping. Culver's a better choice.
Pat Gorman
Love the custard! When in the area must stop. I always take some home for later.
Rissa Park
Really cute place!! The junior custard is a pretty good size. The custard is so good. Lots of options! I recommend.

Jarling's has opened under new ownership! I stopped by on the opening day and nothing had changed. Still the same menu and the same great custard.
Laurel Avila
Enjoyed the Joyful Almond. I like eating at the outside tables. Delicious!

If it isn't super busy, this is my go to ice cream spot or should I say custard spot. Haha

I love this place! I wish it would stay open all year round! Hopefully it will now that its under new ownership. Great selection and great tasting!
Reginald Washington
Custard Cup NEVER disappoints !
Josh Dunn
This place is awesome. They are almost always busy, but you won't find a better treat. They were closed for awhile which was unfortunate, and they aren't open year round, but during the summer this is the place to be.
Tim Yardley
Another staple for this area... however, it is under new management and will be (or has recently) opened back up for business. We'll see how the new owners carry on with the legend of Jarlings.
Darcy Bean
One can't find a better cold fudge treat anywhere (chocolate snicker parfait being my personal favorite)......ALL of the employees are just the best I've ever seen.

If you are in the Champaign-Urbana, Illinois area, you owe it to yourself to make a trip to the Custard Cup. There ice cream is the closest you will get to Heaven while on Earth!
Douglas Dukeman
Great Lemon ice cream and even better in the waffle cone.. yummy
Jehoshuah K (CrunchyTuna)
Now that they serve guests in three different lines the wait is fairly short! Best frozen custard around!

Germán Mandrini
No better plan in summer than getting an ice-cream from Jarlings and go to Hessel park to hang out!
Min Tay
Overly sweet and the ice cream was a bit too melted when served. Not a bad place, but perhaps a little overhyped.
Kamalendu Ghosh
Had the Banana snowstorm. Pure bliss as always.
Melodie Poisson
They have a wide variety of very tasty desserts! They know how to well organize a crowd.
CJ Sullivan
Decent frozen custard. Some townies swear by it, but I have had better. Glad they are open year round now.

Delicious frozen custard and a Chambana icon. Lots of great choices!
