We all have our go-to ice cream stand that's not only delicious but also brings back so many great memories.

Maybe it's the place you always stop at on your way home from a long beach day, the spot you visit after big family events, or the place you head to after dinner when you're craving something sweet.

The Ice Cream Shop That South Jersey Keeps Coming Back To

In South Jersey, one of those ice cream places is the Maple Shade Custard Stand. It's been a local favorite since the early 1980s, and for very good reason!

It sits on the corner of West Main Street and South Coles Avenue in Maple Shade, with a big DRIVE-IN sign sitting on top of the ice cream stand.
