What Metsfan 22 doesn't like about Carvel:
First time that store where I saw the young Lady making ice cream sandwiches with her bare hands. When I asked her about wearing gloves when handing foods, she said her hands were clean gloves are germsy! Now, where's the INFECTION CONTROL in that? I'll never buy there again! View all feedback. What Metsfan 22 likes about Carvel:
I'm a sucker for soft serve ice cream, so naturally I'd love Carvel. I've been coming here for years, from back in the day when they were in the stand alone building next door that's now some kind of car place. Clean and well maintained, its always nice coming here. I do wish they had tables or something to sit at, but not enough to detract from their rating. Oh and that Ghirardelli soft serve ice cream they sell is... View all feedback.

They do not accept digital coupons and the service was quite slow.

The restaurant used to stay open late when the owners were present, but now they only have two workers staffing the shop on busy Saturdays. It seems unrealistic...

The restaurant offers delicious soft ice cream in a variety of flavors. Wednesday's sundae special is a must-try!

Carvel has garnered a reputation for its delicious ice cream, with many praising the generous servings and variety of toppings available. Long-time fans admire the establishment's clean environment and nostalgic charm. However, recent shifts in management have led to staffing shortages, resulting in longer wait times during peak hours. Some patrons have raised concerns over hygiene practices, particularly regarding ice cream preparation. While the quality remains a highlight, some flavors have been noted as overly sweet or inconsistently prepared. Overall, Carvel still delights many, despite some operational challenges that merit attention.
