★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Beautiful new store. Very nice. Surprisingly pretty cheap - $1.49 Oreo sandwich. Carvel ice cream is the best - really good. Nice service - and I got a fudgie the whale cake - loved it !
July 02 · Joe HubertGot a quick ice cream for Fourth of July it was awesome this new location customer service is really great.
July 08 · Dhanraj BudhooI dont know how they rated 5,Limited flavors--cakes not great as the others carvels stores, services bad, I think those are employees reviews --My experience wasn't good im not return to this carvel---
September 15 · Joge AndriuoBeautiful new edition to the city, staff is very friendly and prices are great. My sundae was delicious. Will definitely be coming back here to get a cake for my daughter’s birthday!
July 02 · Amanda AllenService is more than a little slow. One girl was icing the sake cake over and over again in order to avoid taking an order. The young lady with the glasses is definitely of Hispanic origin and knows a few Spanish words. No need for her to be berating Spanish speaking clients for not being able to properly order. She wasn’t even trying, where’s the customer service or sense of urgency?
