What do ice cream shops do in winter? At Brookside’s French Custard, they create a club—the Cold Weather Ice Cream Club, that is. Every other week, this beloved neighborhood spot releases a unique pint flavor in limited quantities, like Tahini Maple Blondie and Cookie Butter Monster Mash.
Don’t worry: Anyone can become a member of the club. If you want to score one of these exclusive flavors, just sign up for their mailing list and you’ll get a notification when the pints drop.
French Custard (5905 Main St., KCMO) also embraces the winter spirit by offering beanies embroidered with their logo. While you’re rocking it, feel free to indulge in other menu items like a warm brownie sundae and hot chocolate.
The shop stands out with its made-from-scratch ice cream base. “You can truly taste the difference,” says owner Jessica Wood of her homestyle approach to creating the perfect frozen treat. For those with dietary restrictions, French Custard also offers gluten-free and nut-free options.
