Fran-Ceil Custard

Each year, Fran-Ceil Custard’s (pronounced “fran seal”) frozen custard draws crowds during the warm weather with its highly sought-after roster of rotating flavors announced each day through its custom mobile app. The stand first opened in 1951, founded by two brothers-in-law who named it for their wives, Frances and Celia. Today, owner Joe Dzialak—who bought Fran-Ceil in 2007 after decades of working behind the counter—fine-tunes each batch to ensure its quality. Pro tip: Don’t sleep on its classic pistachio and black raspberry flavors if available.
