About us
From family tragedy to culinary triumph
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 are a proud black-owned, women-owned, family business offering clean-label gourmet pastry cremes in both traditional dairy and vegan bases for commercial food service and consumer retail customers
