ABOUT POPPA'S CUSTARD COMPANY
Poppa’s Custard Company was founded in Philadelphia, PA in 2020 as our family, like many others, grappled with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Pooling our resources, culinary talents, and business acumen, we sought to share our simple, homemade recipes with the public. We make and sell premium, restaurant-quality chilled dessert custard.
We are a proud black, and majority women-owned family business.
