Carvel Ice Cream Bakery

Having grown up in Baltimore Md. with a Carvel store nearby, it was usually our go-​to ice cream shop in warmer weather. I wish I could say the same for this Carvel location. It seems to be a family run business that needs to do better. Having recently gone there and purchased a quart of hard ice cream to bring home, you know, for old times sake. I was somewhat dismayed when our not quite full container was weighed and bagged. Last time I checked a quart of ice cream weighed in at 32 ounces not 26 ounces (as weighed on my wife’s accurate kitchen scale). I know it’s not much but if you are paying a premium price for anything you should at the least get what you paid for. Considering that they have a popular ice cream competitor just down the street, that was a bad move. The proprietor’s seem friendly enough though, attentive and quick with a smile. Maybe they’ll be worth another try, especially if Fudgie the Whale starts calling.

It’s a typical chain Ice Cream shop, but as Carvels go, this one is a little lacking. They’ve got all the usual staples and everything that Carvel offers, however, they seem to be a little light on the flavors. Many of their fridge cases are empty, while they really only have one with ice cream in it. Overall, it’s ok if you’re looking for Carvel and the service isn’t bad, but not one of the top destinations around.
