When in Paris, you have to visit the Eiffel Tower. When in St. Louis, you probably want to see the Arch. (It is amazing. But I would say the one thing you have to do even more than a Cardinals game or the Arch is sample a Ted Drewes Frozen Custard. Theycalled their custards Concretes because you can turn the cup upside down and it won't fall out. Except why you show up in July.The custard melts faster than you can eat it, so the magic trick won't work. No matter. Ted Drewes frozen custard is theultimate creamy deliciousness. Each bite goes down your throat in a flavor burst of icy coolness. I had two scoops of the mocha;the coffee bitterness added the perfect sharp edges to the sweet velvet...
This was my first visit, but I’ll definitely be back every time I’m in St. Louis! The place has an amazing classic vibe that I really enjoyed. I wasn’t sure what to get, but the friendly woman at the counter gave excellent suggestions. I decided on the Root 66 malt and root beer concrete blend since it was my first time, and I also tried the seasonal Pumpkin Pie Concrete. Everything was absolutely delicious! It was a fantastic experience, and the staff made it so easy for a newcomer like me. I just wish I could have...

What a fantastic local St. Louis hallmark. It was chill to stop by after moving in a friend to the Hills. It seems like no matter what day or time it is, Ted Drewes has a constant flow of customers. Kind of surreal to snack on a little piece of St. Louis history with the original concrete and turn the town upside down (or just the custard). Thoroughly enjoyed the quaint experience of feeling the nostalgia of walking from home to the local custard shop. Super family
I get why Ted Drewes is so iconic. It's a classic ice cream parlor on the historic Route 66. I totally see why people have been coming for generations, taking their kids and introducing them to Ted Drewes. The ice cream was very creamy and smooth, and itwas great on a hot day. Can't say it's the best ice cream of my life, but it's definitely worth checking out! Just note thatthis place gets popular, so expect to wait in line!
Made a point to visit this St. Louis staple after the Cardinals game. Sure, it's off I-44 a bit and you have to stop at many stoplights to find this bustling Route 66 gem, and parking was tight, but its worth it. I ordered the Dutchman Delight(chocolate, butterscotch and pecans) Concrete and it was a delightful treat! My wait time from line to delivery wasn't long atall. The operation is smooth and the vibe is St. Louis.
Super fun place for a summer treat! Don?t be fooled by the crowd, the lines move very quickly and it?s worth the short wait. The huge variety of combinations makes for an experience that is never boring, and the crowd that gathers around is very friendly and full of fun characters. The staff has to memorize your entire order (no notes or paper! and I?m yet to have them mess it up. Will definitely be back.

Great old fashion frozen custard. The only downside is the hot toppings are pretty hot so it melts the custard pretty quickly. Lines can be long but once you order the service is really quick.
