I will always love Carvel ice cream. Soft is the best and so are there cakes

This is my go-to ice cream shop, the ice cream tastes way better and the service is great and fast. They have been becoming stingy with chocolate fudge but I can get over it, I presume. You can stand in there and eat your ice cream.

This Carvel is clean, the service is excellent! We take the kids there several times this summer, the choices for flavors are all delicious and tasty, we tried almost every flavor over the time that we have been going there, but the treat that stands out for me is the Dasher with Heath bar pieces; for my kids, they love Birthday Cake and either Cookie Dough or Cake Mix. Parking is a bummer, but we pull into McDonald's and run over to Carvel, the service is so quick that you are back in no time.
