    Carvel closing hours

    Went to this carvel and it was 8:58 pm and when we arrived, the girl said they were closed. The website says 10 pm and even yelp says 9:30 pm. Well, you just lost a customer and won't go there again.​​

    Stopped to get a scoop of ice cream definitely impressed by the ice cream selection. I got a Cold Brew Coffee, it had Oreo cookies in it to I think, great additive! What I thought was really neat was the cone holder, it held the cone perfectly & the extended lips/flaps around the sides help with spilling/melting!! I haven't seen anything like that before! Definitely recommend

    Mint sundae, thumbs up

    So my main complaint before was lousy service and the fact they always advertised a seasonal soft serve flavor and NEVER had the machine working. Also, when they had a company wide free cone day, they had a sign on door saying no free ice cream. You can't opt out of a company promotion! Also also once they just weren't open during posted hours. Anyway, new owner reached out to me asking me to come back. Mint flavor in stock yay! He was very nice and apologetic, even though it wasn't his fault for old owner management. So I came back and was happy to try again. I always enjoyed their ice cream. It's very soft but still great flavor, and mint and fudge sauce is a winning combination. As days get warmer, I will definitely be back and I recommend others come by and try it too.

    A great, local, neighborhood ice cream shop. Walking distance from my house. I LOVE the Cookies and Cream Carvelance! I've ordered three of them within the past week. Nicole always does an awesome job making each one!

    We came here on a Monday for some treats. I have to compliment our server Anna who told let us sample, told us about the specials and was super friendly. The store was clean and the ice cream was delicious. Parking sucks but that's standard in the area.

    Awful. Ordered a cake online and it was never delivered. Weird aggressive staff. Use the Nutley location if you must.

    This has nothing to do with the treat and everything to do with the service…read more This past weekend my wife and I went to Lets Yo. I had received a $5 birthday promo and was excited to use it since it had been a while since our last visit. We originally planned to go earlier in the week but got busy, so we ended up going on Saturday despite the terrible weather. We picked our flavors and toppings and headed to checkout. I entered my phone number but the promo didn't show up. After checking my phone, I realized it had just expired. I asked the attendant if, since it was for my birthday, they could honor it. She went to ask the manager. The manager came over and I explained the situation. She said no, her reasoning? "If I do it for you, I have to do it for everyone." That didn't sit right with me. How many people are really coming in every day asking to honor an expired birthday promo? For a small oversight, I'd have to wait another year to use it? It made me feel like my business didn't matter. We're talking about $5, not a free treat. I work in the financial/service industry, so I pay close attention to customer experience. This interaction said a lot: the attendant likely didn't have the authority, but the manager had the opportunity to create a positive moment and chose not to. Moments like that are where you either create a loyal customer or lose one over something small. Safe to say, this wasn't handled well. I left more disappointed than anything. I don't see myself coming back in the near future.

    I had wanted to check this place out as just a local landmark, so when I finally got around to it,…read moreI was very satisfied by the quality of the ice cream and the old fashioned vibes. There's a counter as well as booths. You can get some candy or ice cream to go as well as get some quick bites and of course, ice cream. I wanted to start with something standard to see how they did it and got a pineapple sundae with vanilla ice cream. The whipped cream and cherry on top made it adorable, and the ice cream was creamy and very vanilla. The wet walnut sundae also paired well with it. Both were just overflowing right out of the dish. Even though it's simple, it wasn't basic. We were served quickly and with pretty and tasty desserts. I admire the local history captured in photos. There is plenty of street parking nearby. The old school vibe is missed in a lot of places, so it's nice to sit down, relax, and just have a splendid treat.

I made the mistake of not getting ice cream so I can't share on that even though people I was with said it was incredible. I know that the ice cream is the star of the show.

So I told myself the next time I pass by I would definitely stop to try some. This was the day. Walked in to find one family seated at a table, enjoying their gelato.And then a girl and a guy behind the counter, they were both sitting but when I came in , the girl popped up immediately to help which look , I don't mind them sitting at all , I wouldn't want to be standing the entire time either. What I didn't love was that the boy looked like he could care less that there was a customer and continued to just play on his phone. The girl was really nice. I asked her to try the cheddar cheese flavor which I thought was incredibly wild to even have as an option.And i'm still confused how you can make gelato taste like cheddar cheese , but still be a dessert, it was good! I decided on marscapone and black sesame and had a seat to enjoy my Gelato. The Mars Capone was absolutely delicious.It was creamy, it was the right consistency.On the other hand I didn't love the black sesame.It didn't have a very strong flavor and I didn't like the crunchy whole black Sesame seeds. Usually when I get black sesame somewhere , the seeds are pretty much ground up. Before I left , I took a second look at the flavors and definitely have to go back to try some more of the unique ones. I'm actually pretty shocked that they only have 3.7 stars, I enjoyed the Gelato, hope it wasn't a fluke!
