1. 1.Go early in the evening (around 6-7pm) to beat the after-dinner rush, especially on warm summer nights when lines can get long
2. 2.Bring cash if possible,it speeds up the line and some local shops like this prefer it, though check if they accept cards
3. 3.The custard melts faster than regular ice cream due to its creamy texture, so grab extra napkins and have younger kids eat while sitting down
4. 4.Try a flavor of the day or ask for samples before ordering,the staff is usually happy to let kids taste before committing
5. 5.Park in the lot adjacent to the shop, but overflow parking is available at nearby Highland High School after hours

Visit on weekday afternoons (3-5pm) for shorter lines, or embrace the bustling atmosphere on Friday and Saturday evenings when the whole neighborhood comes out. Spring through fall offers the best weather for enjoying your custard at outdoor tables, though they're open year-round.

With budget-friendly pricing (typically $3-7 per treat), Nielsen's is an affordable family outing. Outdoor seating is available, and it's a walk-up window establishment, so be prepared to enjoy your custard outside or take it to go.

Open year-round, but expect the longest lines during summer months (June-August) and on warm spring evenings. The outdoor seating is most enjoyable from April through October. Check hours during winter months as they may operate on reduced schedules.
