Carvel Ice Cream Bakery

I’ve had the soft serve before, which is pretty good, but their chocolate chip cookie dough is great. I got it on a chocolate sprinkle cone and I loved it. This place is a diamond in the rough

I postwd a pic of below review.
Spelled anniversary «aniversity»
This is elementary level spelling.
What is sad is that the person who did this told the other employee «I got this» cause you’re gonna mess this up.

I am not really a huge fan of ice cream cake, but my brother is, and it was his birthday, so I decided to get him Fudgie the Whale. I googled Carvel to get an idea of pricing and options and found I could place an order online, so I ordered a Fudgie the Whale with Happy Birthday Steve written on it in blue icing and set a pickup time for 4pm. I arrived at Carvel at four and mentioned that I had placed an order online. The owner asked when it had been placed and when I mentioned earlier that day he said that the system should not have let me do that and that he did not receive it as they don’t do same day orders. Upon checking my email I saw that this order had never actually been confirmed by the store. Luckily the owner had a Fudgie on hand and was able to do the writing right then and there. I paid and was out in about ten minutes. He even threw in a free cup of extra crunchies. I am not sure if this is standard with a cake purchase or it had something to do with the confusion with the order.
Had they not been able to accommodate my Fudgie request this review would probably be going much differently and I stuck with three stars for that reason. Carvel obviously has some kinks to work out in it’s online ordering. Since my order wasn’t very custom it was an easy fix, but had I been detailed with cake size and frosting colors and flavors I may not have ended up with what I wanted. The cake itself was delicious and my brother was happy so overall it was a success.
I did notice a sign for BOGO sundaes on Wednesdays, I would love to give those a try and once I do perhaps I will go up to four stars. This locations also has a Blimpie subs inside. I love Blimpie subs and don’t see them too often so I think I will have to pickup lunch here one day (maybe a Wednesday).

I have to disclose up front that I am from Southern California – home of the best yogurt shops in the world – and that I don’t quite understand the allure of Carvel on the East Coast. It’s not ice cream. It’s not frozen yogurt. It’s not even soft serve. It’s Carvel.
I got the classic vanilla on a cake cone dipped in chocolate, which started melting immediately and was the messiest thing ever. My mom got the traditional vanilla/​rainbow sprinkles sundae. She and I thought they tasted good enough – nothing special. My stepdad and his mom would kill us for saying that. For the record, they enjoyed their sundaes very much. The girls behind the counter were really sweet, and we liked that the place was open late.
This particular location is under construction. Be advised that you might have a bit of trouble locating it, due to the scaffolding and tarps out front. It shares a suite with Blimpie Subs.
