This used to be one of my favorite icecream places because of the sprinkles. The other day I went in and the ice cream cone went up to 9 dollars. I walked out thinking to myself, guess they'll be closing down soon. Lets be for real, its not even quality icecream like HD who has pure ingredients so the price increase is definitely not justified. Not to mention, the staff always seems like they dont want you there.
I went inside this place because my son wanted some ice cream. The atmosphere was thick and reminiscent of the Howard Beach where people of color weren’t allowed to set foot in Howard Beach without being chased out. They were four young employees all but avoided talking us. The one that did was short and borderline rude. All that came out his mouth was is there anything else? My son who’s six is social and friendly and he barely engaged him. All my son is wanted to do is say hello and order ice cream. Nothing more nothing less. They were rumors this place aligns with the current political right wing climate but I thought I’ll keep an open mind. $37 3 ice cream cones and 1 cup seems a bit overpriced. Hard pill to swallow after this awkward. I just payed and we ate the ice cream in the car.
came in to buy a cake for my mothers birthday and one lady staff had an attitude & the old man told me to tell my daughter to put the candles back as if i was going to steal the $2 candles. We were debating on which ones to get. I told my daughter to put them back and walked out as i will not support someone who thinks im going to steal from their business especially $2 candles. I told my daughter to put them back before we walked out the store. This is the guy that accused her and he’s on the phone during his work shift.
Never coming back here. The pricing here is ridiculous. I paid upwards $70 for an ice cream cake and it was not a full sheet. And the normal ice cream price is $9 for a small. You can get a whole pint at that point without the staff giving attitude. Yeah…never. Go to the other carvels. Much reasonable compared to this one. We used to come here all the time and I don’t know what happened Greed. Go buy a Martha’s cake instead. Also I do agree with all the other comments about how the staff give you a look if you are anything but white.
Nicole is an absolute gem to deal with when it comes to cakes and cake decorating. Our family's thing is everyone gets a Carvel cake for their birthday. She has always come through. My cake this year, no different! The kids who work the shop are always nice, courteous and helpful. My cake below..
