| - I work not too far from here and given how GOOD this place is, It's a wonder I haven't put on 30 pounds in the last 10 years. Glen's is an institution and with good reason. First of all, they've withstood the test of time - people keep coming back - for generations. At first I thought it was a trick, they must put something addictive in their custard, right? But no! It's just straight up out of the park good.
I didn't know the difference between custard and ice cream at first (custard has egg yolks) but knew that Glen's just tasted better. Now I understand why. But I've been to other "popular" custard stands and they don't quite measure up. So maybe Glen's DOES put something in there!! They typically have three flavors of their basic custard, chocolate, vanilla, and a rotating flavor of the day which could be butterscotch (count this as your lucky day if it is!!!!), butter pecan, peach, or a host of other flavors. They also have gourmet custards but the originals are just too good to stray. Even vanilla makes a mockery of the "plain vanilla" expression. Yummy. Their Glenwich cookie sandwiches are awesome too - two cookies with custard in the middle. Wow. I have taken many a 6 pack of those home over the years.
Another thing I like is that Glen's stays open till late in the year too. None of that closing at Labor Day nonsense. So when I'm cravin', I'm heading to Glen's for that smooth, velvety richness that is that soft delicious custard. Don't settle for ice cream when you can have Glen's.
My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
