★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Great varieties of ice cream, shakes, cake… there are no sugar free products but great selections of sweet dessert with ice cream! Everyday it has some sale product! Excellent and great location!
April 21 · Angie MokThis Carvel ice cream shop has been around for maybe over 20 years and I mostly came here like once a year 5 an more years ago when they had the "Free Cone Day", there were huge lines of 25 plus/minus people in the queue to get their free, promoted cone of ice cream. Couple of says ago I decided to pay this place a visit because I knew that they changed their branding/signage/color-schemes from the "old/pink" 2012 scheme to the "modern" colors so I hoped that this place would improve, but to my disappointment its only the signs, flooring and paint that visually changed, the customer service and overall store experience still remained the same. The good thing is that they have several soft serve ice cream machines, each with 2 flavors to choose and hard/scoopable ice creams in wide assortment to choose from plus the toppings/fixin's such as sprinkles/crunchies/candies and sweet waffle cones/cups. The bad things about this place is that the guy behind the counter was kind of grim and seemed disinterested [he did acknowledged me after a while, but he just seemed like his mind was concerned about something else]. Another bad/negative thing about this location is the store sign with visible rust underneath and the bird dropping/poo on the side [in 2012 it seemed like they had the anti-Pidgeon spikes on top of the sign. Third negative aspect is that they don't have any Carvelite [light ice cream] to choose from. The final negative aspect is that this place is just to small and has the "buy and get out!" vibe about it; there are no tables to sit at and enjoy the ice cream at other than countertop at the center of the store that has the choice of illustrated 6 soft serve flavors and cake customization choice sheet on it. I just don't think that the owner seriously cares about this Carvel. I hope that this places improves and that the owner steps his game up.
September 15 · MGTOW GamerSmall (kid) size ice cream cone and medium size Ice cream SOMEHOW totaled up $18.It should’ve been $7 + 0.75 cents (sprinkles) + $3.50 + 75cents ( sprinkles ).I gave this neighborhood a chance. Ugh fk..
March 18 · Kim WangBetter off calling to order. You walk in and they don’t even acknowledge you! Waited for 10 minutes while the guy behind the counter was making online orders. I asked if I can please order now and he told me to wait. Why not cater to the customers walking in first then online orders. Almost made me late for work! What a shame. Don’t waste your time!
May 23 · Kaylah PerezThe staff here is beyond amazing and nice. Every time I go into this location the staff is consistently friendly, helpful, and patient. I watched as another customer changed his order 4 times after it was started, and had a lot of questions, and the person behind the counter was nice throughout the whole thing and quickly changed gears to the new requests. They are consistently performing at an exceptional level.
