    I went to my local Carvel branch to pick up an ice cream cake for my Dad's birthday. -Staff is young (teens maybe) but helpful -They assisted with the writing on my cake and let me pick color -This branch has the flying saucer specials (BOGO, 50% off if you buy a cake) -ended up with a small square ice cream cake, which is their smallest which was $18 -the cake is what the cake is - an American classic with the oreo bits Need a birthday cake last minute? I wouldn't hesitate to coming to this Bath Ave Carvel

    Came to grab a birthday cake for hubby with hubby (not a surprise). He insisted on a plain cake (because he don't eat baked goods so an ice cream cake sounds great!). We arrived and looked at their vast options and chose this plain round cake with blue frosting (blue not pink since he is a boy). There was a small cute snowman cake (but too small) and I reminded him that he wanted a plain cake-- I should had gotten it because it was the first time he showed interested. Staff was helpful and wrote "Happy Birthday" on it for us. No candles provided or offered for purchase. I guess we got used to Tous Les Jours bakery that provides a plastic cake knife with some cheap candles. I haven't had ice cream cakes in so long and remember the chocolate crunchies being the best part. Their cakes now have less crunchies than they used to have. I wish there was more.

    Due to the Coronavirus, this birthday gathering was a small one. Typically, we are 9 of us celebrating another year. My favorite Shakespeare's quote is "with mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come." I'm always the optimistic one among my friends. I'm thankful for all the texts pouring in when I woke up. It's good to know I'm loved and appreciated. It's nice to get gifts and all. But I think the most valuable gift I received from a friend wasn't a physical item. It was a motto to live by. "It's when you let yourself be vulnerable around someone that when you build a closer relationship." Anyway, thanks Carvel for making my cake. I love the pistachio/vanilla with chocolate crunch.

    We wanted a small birthday cake so we picked up a simple square shaped ice cream cake (vanilla/chocolate) from Carvel. The staff was very helpful and patient in assisting us with the selection. You can never go wrong with Carvel, we all enjoyed the cake!!!

    False hours of operation. It was 10:06pm and the sign said closes at 11pm. They didn't want to sell me ice cream saying they were closed. If they can't be honest with their hours this carvel bis definitely rotten to it's core.

    Love this Carvel location! They have so many different treats that keep you coming back. I love their flying saucers and small pre-packaged sundaes. Their pistachio ice cream is far superior to any other brand. The prices have risen so you can't make this trip too often but when you go you know you will be satisfied. Nothing ever beats Carvel's birthday cakes with the crunchies in between the vanilla and chocolate ice cream, this will always be the best.

    My family always comes here to get cakes and so do I - it's sorta like a family tradition that we do. The cakes here never disappoint and the customer service is always on point. They used to have a loyal customer stamp card way back when, but they don't do that anymore. We used to get free cakes all the time.... I really love their custom cakes. Come in a month in advance to order them!!! Prices are on the steeper end, but it's for high quality icecream cake! It's all worth it after that first bite!!

    Sweet Carvel!

But this review is about something bigger than dessert. The strawberry cheesecake here reminds me of my mom. It was her favorite, and it was one of the last desserts I got to share with her. Anytime she wanted a sweet treat, that's what she asked for. Ordering it now keeps me connected to her. This past July, on her 3rd birthday in heaven, I placed an order to celebrate her. The menu only had cherry cheesecake that day, so I wrote a note explaining what the strawberry meant to me. The staff didn't just make it happen, they sent an extra slice of strawberry cheesecake on top of it. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. The people here have always been this kind.

There's a full menu of coffee beverage options to choose from and a pastry to pair it with. There are also a variety of decorative cupcakes to choose from as well. I instantly noticed the Knicks championship cupcakes when I walked in. The establishment is relatively small but you can tell that they get great business here. The staff members who I engaged with were pretty nice as well.

It really felt like it was delivered straight from the shop with no problems. The lotusella crepe was every biscoff lover's dream come true. The pairing with chocolate and banana and strawberry is a classic hit and I love that they didn't skimp on the chocolate or biscoff here. The layers of crepe were appropriate thickness and not too dense. I hate when they crepe is too thick and feels like you're getting a mouthful of dough. Not with this bad boy. I like the dusting of lotus crumbs and they actually don't go soggy which is nice. I can't wait to try more things of their menu. A true neighborhood gem!!

I asked if there was any way to fix this, and right away, the hostess brought us to another table with a much better view of that magnificent manhattan skyline and river. Then the food. Omg the food. We each ordered our main, after which they bring out an enormous tray of all these lovely nibble salads, pickles, dips, and pita. I don't eat wheat, and haven't my entire life, so I usually don't say anything about it if it seems to me the place doesn't cater to that sort of restriction. The server noticed however, and offered sliced cucumbers for the dips. Such a lovely detail, brava. Did I mention how deeeeeeeelicious everything was? Hubby had the steak shishlika which was perfectly tender and charred at once. I had the chicken shishlika which was good, but not the wow of the steak. Each and every salad, dip, pickle etc was perfectly spiced, cooked, presented. The nuances were just right. Nothing too precious or sideways. Just honest, well built yummy food. And the fries. You MUST get the fries. We ordered the tahini ranch along with the tahini catsup. In my opinion, that wasn't necessary. But if you're a ranch lover, go for it. Then the dessert! Soft serve with a cherry reduction and some kind of flourless chocolate brownie... I don't need to say more. The service was excellent. The food delicious. The view was perfect, though no one celebrated the sun going down like I was told they do. We will go back, with four or more so we can finish all the food.
