I didn’t have a good feeling when I saw some of the hard ice creams had different looking ice cream sitting on top. It looked as if they dumped some soft serve on top of the hard ice cream and it froze in big clumps. I should’ve just left upon seeing that, however against my better judgement ordered for my kids since they wanted something different than those flavors with the weird clumps. My son had the “carvelanche” which is soft serve mixed with a topping. It took the employee about 7 minutes to make it. I didn’t know why it was taking this amount of time to mix chocolate soft serve with chocolate crunchies, but we were patient. Once he got it we sat outside and after a few bites he said “what is this? And pulled a jagged piece of hard plastic out of his mouth.” I brought it back inside and the employee was not at all phased and claimed it was part of the cap. However the cap was not broken at all and the cap was a much thinner clear plastic while what he pulled out of his mouth was white and much harder/thicker. She took it from me and said she’d make him a new one. I went back outside thinking it would be another 7 minutes to make a new one, however less than a minute after I went outside she came out and handed me what I thought was a new one. I gave it to him and he said this is the same one, it has the same amount of ice cream missing.This place is gross, I’ll stick to different Carvels or other ice cream shops. Never going back to this place. - Alison Chattman
