Original Frozen Custard
"Often Imitated Never Equalled"
About Us
We're Original Frozen Custard, and we've been a premier American restaurant in Lafayette, IN, since 1932. We're a true family tradition; after nearly 100 years, we're proud to still use the same delicious recipes developed by our family after the great depression. We specialize in fresh frozen custard and delicious sandwiches available by window service or drive-thru. Our menu features hamburgers, hot dogs, breaded tenderloins, old fashioned sodas, cones, dishes, quarts, pints, and much more. We're looking forward to partnering with Tippecanoe, Fountain, and Marion counties to continue to offer a classic American dining experience. We'd like to personally invite you to stop by to try our special recipe fruit drink, today!

Every time I’m in Lafayette I make sure to pay a visit at the igloo, there’s a couple locations. Lots of summer nights with loved ones for some ice cream were spent here. My all time favorite would have to be a marshmallow vanilla (sometimes cherry too) COKE!!
