Lament no longer, fellow fans of frozen custard!

After many months of teasing us with an “Opening Soon” sign, the new Frosty Jake’s at 3102 E. Grant Road opens this weekend.

Will it be worth the wait? All signs are pointing to yes at this point, especially after my education this afternoon regarding the shop’s “concretes,” which apparently include a super-frozen-custard of sorts.

I’ve always known concretes to just be frozen yogurt or custard with candy or cookie chunks mixed in. Not so at Frosty Jake’s. Their concretes are actually a way-thicker version of frozen custard with a distinct flavor due to the different egg-to-cream ratio, says Mark Lindley, who is opening the store with brother Eric Lindley and their parents, Lew and Linn Lindley.

Flavors will include raspberry, orange, caramel, pineapple, butterscotch, strawberry, banana, coffee, peach, vanilla and chocolate.

The store opens at 10 a.m., Saturday, May 14.

  3. I had a sample of Frosty Jakes with my friend Rich. It was so good he went into a daze and I had to punch him in the face to knock him out of it. You have to try this stuff!!!

  4. We’ve been driven by several times in the past 45 minutes, but they still don’t seem open. they’ve got a “We’re now open” banner up, but their neon “open” sign isn’t lit. Hmmmm…

  5. Had been really looking forward to the opening of Frosty Jake’s for months now since I am from the Midwest & remembered how yummy frozen custard tasted. Was very disappointed that I made a special trip at 2:30 & was told by the lady there that the hours have been changed to 5:00 to 9:00 pm as they had not been very busy at the earlier hrs. previously listed in Caliente. Also would have been good customer service since I was already there to at least offer me a sample or ask me if I wanted to buy a cone. Another customer drove up while I was there & she told him they were not open. Not a good start for a new business!
