This place is a local institution. Their custard is unlike most other ice cream in Cleveland, I'm not really sure what's different about it, it always feels a little thicker and richer than other ice creams. East Coast makes 5 or 6 different flavors per day, including old standards like chocolate and vanilla, and usually has at least one fat free or sugar free variety. Many of the flavors are inventive, like mexican chocolate or mayfield road crunch, and they have a calendar so you know when to come back for your faves.
On any summer night this place will be crowded with young and old. Last summer, every night there was at least one interesting old car, from the normal 50's pink caddy's, to a restored 1940s army jeep and a car with license plate "muggles" lol. I've even seen that silver bullet shaped vehicle with tour groups stop here (you know the one I mean).
East Coast is open year round, and the ice cream and ice cream pies and sandwiches are just as good in the winter. All the different toppings and blizzards are almost better in icy weather as they don't melt as fast. Just be careful for those sneaky old people who pretend they don't know how they line works and will cut in front of you in like. (it's happened more than once)
