The Scene – The only details that have changed over six decades are the models of the cars crowding its parking lot from noon to early morning. A family spot and teen hangout, it's as friendly and accommodating as the '50s stands were--without car-hops. – – The Food – Leon's custards stick to chocolate, vanilla and the flavor of the day, including strawberry, butter pecan, raspberry, maple nut and cinnamon. The vanilla is good in a sundae. Thick, rich and so light on the vanilla you can taste the cream--a richly neutral base for your favorite toppings--the hot…

Leon's Customer For Life

by sassyscorp

Having grown up in Bay View there are a few things in my life that are staples; Sweet Rolls, Friday Fish Frys, the South Shore Water Frolics, and Leon's Custard Stand. If I had to use one word to describe Leon's I would have to say. "quality". I always see the delivery trucks out back bringing in the fresh ingredients, and you can taste them in their custard. My favorites would have to be the Leon's Special which is a super sundae with their yummy salted pecans. If Mint is the Flavor of the Day, I would highly recommend a Mint Hot Fudge Sundae. It's absolutely delicious. My fiance is prone to a chocolate custard sundae with the strawberry sauce. Ya the parking can be a pain, but the line moves quickly and the prices and custard are worth the wait. Thanks Leon's for sticking to your guns, maintaining your quality and menu over the years, and of course for continuing to support the South Shore Frolics. Summer wouldn't be the same without the two of you!

  • Pros: Best Frozen Custard On Earth, Awesome Hours, Great Quality

BEST Ice Cream in Town!

by moxiegretl

I must say that I love Leon's frozen custard even better than Kopps! Service is ok, but you're in and out, so it isn't a big deal to get someone that doesn't care to serve you, its just an ice cream cone. Parking is sometimes tricky when its packed in the summer, but it always works out. I love that they are open super late! I am more of a "flavor of the day person" when it comes to custard, but here, the vanilla and chocolate are SO good, I actually just get, vanilla and/or chocolate! Oh, did I mention that its cheap?!

  • Pros: Awesome Ice Cream, Open Late
  • Cons: So-So Staff, Location

WORLD FAMOUS!

by milwaukeekid1990

BEST in the WORLD! There's great service and worth the long lines even in the cold milwaukee winter!

parking is somtimes said to be bad but i disagree, most times if the parking lot is full you can park near

the enstein bagel next door so it really isn't an issue, for those not from milwaukee finding it is not very

hard either just look for St. Lukes Hospital, i love it at leon's been eating there my whole life and its all i

know and once you have custard from leon's you won't wonder why the dairy queen on morgan ave is so

empty, they have great hours too EAT THERE! why not the presidents do!

  • Pros: near shopping, great food!, polite people always the highlight of your day
  • Cons: honestly there are none!
