What suburbanites have been enjoying for two years in the sprawling area

What suburbanites have been enjoying for two years in the sprawling area southeast of Tacoma, Capitol Hill hipsters are only now going to get a chance to sample. (So much for being cutting-edge.) Old School Frozen Custard, currently open in Bonney Lake, will be opening a second store at Pike and 13th this spring. Nathan Hedin, who co-owns the shop, discovered the frozen concoction while attending college in Pennsylvania, and decided to introduce it to the West Coast with the help of his in-laws. It’s made with egg yolks to give it a silky texture, and served at a slightly warmer temperature than other ice creams. The result looks a bit like soft-serve, but is scooped. Hedin plans to stay true to custard convention, serving just vanilla and chocolate plus a flavor of the day. (Some of the more popular are lemon, cheesecake, and butter pecan.) Mix-ins include Oreos, Graham crackers, and fruit, as well as Nathan’s Hot Dogs, which will help you justify skipping right to dessert.
