Social Profile:

The Meadows Original Frozen Custard got its start in the summer of 1950 when J.V., Richard and Delbert Meadows opened a small custard stand in Duncansville, PA. Lines over fifty people deep formed immediately. It was an instant success and remains a great success to this day. Now considered a tourist attraction, the Duncansville location is still in operation and owned by Dick, Jay and Joel Meadows, sons of Delbert. Demand for the smooth, frozen treat has caused franchises to pop up, each individually owned and operated. Over fifty years later each Meadows location still serves the same recipe that got its start in 1950 and has kept our business successful for over fifty years. Now we are in Latrobe, Pa

We stopped here after having dinner and got some coffee and a chocolate chip cookie. I got an Irish Cupcake Iced Latte and it was delicious. They warmed the cookie up for us and it was very good as well. Neat atmosphere- very clean and Custard the Cow is available for selfies!! The ice cream looked good so we’ll have to come back another time and try that.

I stopped here today to get something to drink. They made a delicious chai latte for me with oat milk at my request. This is a really nice place, which also, of course, serves ice cream. Much better than a big chain coffee place.

Had a wonderful experience during our very first visit to the fairly new Meadows of Latrobe. Kaitlin, “Head of Coffee” waited on us and explained everything answering all our questions. Kaitlin was very friendly, helpful and happy to help, thank you Kaitlin. The atmosphere of restaurant is fun, inviting and very clean. The breakfast food was very good, can’t wait to try their custard. Highly recommend visiting, we will definitely be back.

If you like creamy custards and many have different flavors, like tonight was almond joy custard, which was out of this world! Service was fast and friendly. You’ll also learn they have a large breakfast and lunch menu, that you’ll see in a photo below.

The Meadows franchise would be disgusted at the owners of this location. I’ve opted for one of the flavors of the day on multiple occasions now. While the custard itself is good, it’s almost as if that’s all you get. 99% custard, 1% add-ins.

For example, I got the butterfinger and cream as the flavor of the day today. Hardly any butterfinger in it. And I don’t even know what the cream part is – I would guess Oreo’s for ‘cookies and cream’, but none of that in here. It’s like that every, single, time.

Staff was probably ordered to cut back on add-ins to save the (Sharky’s) owners $$$ so they can stuff their pockets even more.

I would stick to standard custards at this location if you order from here. Never have this issue at other Meadows locations.

Absolutely love this place. Here is a tip with any of their flavors of the day. I get a quart to go and you can have them sprinkle in toppings throughout the container.

I learned tonight, not all Meadows are created equally…

This is the Meadows located in Latrobe, not to be confused with its exceptional sister store in New Alexandria. Unlike the store in New Alexandria, the experience here was a classic example of the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. So, let’s start with the Good, shall we? The Meadows is a local custard shop that prides itself on good, nay, very good custard, along with friendly and efficient customer service. The custard itself here is top-notch, thick, creamy, and simply delicious – you really can’t go wrong with custard and they do it right.

Now, the Bad – the service was wonky to say the least. Groups that entered after my wife and I got their orders before we received ours, and some of their orders were very similar in style and selection to what we had asked and paid for. How does that happen? It makes no sense how an order placed 5-minutes earlier would come out 5-minutes later than a separate order placed 5-minutes ago. How? I have no idea.

Which takes us to the Ugly – to be fair, my wife’s order did come out eventually, and it came out as requested and she loved it. As for my order – it became an odyssey to get to it. Not only did we watch other groups order their custard, get it, and then leave, but I had been asked not once, not twice, but three times what I had ordered so they could get it “right to me.” Even so, after repeating three times (four if you count when I told them at the register) what I had ordered – it still came out wrong. At that point, I took what I got and we left before anything else could happen. I will say what I got was good, even though it wasn’t what I wanted.

I think I’ll be sticking to the New Alexandria store for my custard fix for the foreseeable future…
