    Mohammed what a great worker and funny guy.
    Brian M.

    Came in today and was served by the owner Francis. What was most impressive was that he came in to cover for most of the workers who were celebrating a Muslim holiday. His words were also inspiring when he told me he trains his workers to service customers and not just look to take their money. He is about customer service. Everyone that works in this Carvel are very nice and I would recommend you try them out.

    New dairy free orange tangerine flavor!

    Excellent service at this Carvel location! The servers are young but friendly and efficient, and the venue is relatively well kept. More so, this location always seems to be the most crowded of all those in Bay Ridge, which only supports my claim towards their excellent service! Their location offers a lot of different ice cream flavors, sherbets, and even a few unique dairy free flavors! Although I visited to purchase a vanilla soft serve with strawberries and pineapples, I ended up submitting myself to the temptation of a junior scoop of dairy free orange-tangerine ice cream upon recommendation by my server. I was amazed by the creaminess and excellent taste of the dairy free dessert! While it was a little overly sugary, it was a refreshing guilt free treat to end my night! In essence, this Carvel location offers efficient service, and an abundance of options to satisfy the sweet tooth of those of any diet. The servers are friendly and seem happy to make recommendations to help customers select the best ice cream flavors and combos. The only issue is that, because they are so popular, they sometimes run out of sealed take home ice-cream treats, certain toppings (like the pineapples for my vanilla ice cream), and preferred ice cream flavors. Thus, my best suggestion is to always have a second choice - just in case!

    First time ordering a birthday cake at carvel. Took a look at the website and was interested in the butterfly one. Went in to the store and the staff (didn't get his name, asian male) was very informative and was told I can customize the cake with different colors. I was thinking that's cool, I can choose different colors rather than the default one on the website. But when I picked up the cake, it was 10x better than the website. The staffs went above and beyond. I'm not sure who made the cake but if it was an employee than you deserve a raise and if it was the owner than you'll be getting my business again.

    Custom ice cream filling too!!

    So we went back few month later and ordered another one for my son and the flavor is peanut butter treasure and vanilla with chocolate crunch in the middle and Francis added some peanut better sauce and extra reeses butter cups. It was delicious!!!! I need to order this flavor again!!

    The best Carvel in Bay Ridge. They're fast. The ice-cream never taste freezer burned. You know they move a lot of it. The staff is very polite too.

    It was my first time in this location and the service were really nice and you don't expect that a lot from young people. It was already later but they were very profesional and helpful when I was trying to decide what to get. There is a lot of options and varieties of toppings. After we got our order we were lucky to find the bench outside free and enjoyed our ice cram, I didn't eat all but two days after still as good as the day we bought it.

    What can you expect from a take-out place that is mostly all about Italian ices and ice cream? My…read morefamily was ordering sweets, and I wanted savory. Let's just say that my expectations were not high. But this is NYC... They have a small savory menu of some things including crepes. I ordered the Caprese Crepe: basil, mozzarella cheese, olive oil, and tomatoes. My crepe did not spill while eating it from a takeout container, which is a feat in itself. And, the crepe was delicious! So much more delicious than a caprese sandwich. Now I only want my capreses in a crepe! Thanks Uncle Louie. Next time I will add an Italian ice onto my crepe!

    I used to love this business. When it first opened the value and flavors offered were fantastic…read more Over the years, the value as well as the customer service has declined, and the store, quite frankly, looks disheveled. Every year, when this location opens, the options that aren't available are scribbled over with white window pen and faded writing shares notes on what's missing and toppings available. The prices have gone up every year for the past 3 years, although portions are slightly bigger than before I still don't think $4.75 for a small and $6 for medium is great value, especially for ice. In regards to flavors what's offered does taste good, but my favorite flavor, chocolate mousse, hasn't been available since July 2024. I won't tell people not to shop here but just based on the service I prefer elsewhere.

    If you like a frozen cheesecake that's thick and heavy then this place is for you. They also have a…read moresampler pack which you can try different flavors. All their cheesecakes are $33. They also have cookies in the front and other frozen goods in the freezer. This used to be my go to spot but the strawberry cheesecake really didn't hit the spot after it was defrosted. It was hard and the texture did not taste too fresh like it used to. Their cookies are still a great buy tho.

    There is always one family member who whips up desserts, bakes the most delicious cookies, and…read morekneads the most perfect bread. Additionally, this family member most times bakes without consulting a recipe. The ingredients are memorized or better yet she can produce these desserts from scratch. Boy, I wish I had this talent but I don't.. here's where Aunt Butchie's steps in. Aunt Butchie's baked goods are just delicious. I've had numerous varieties of their cookies: red velvet, chocolate chip, chocolate chunk cookie and double chocolate cookies. Of course, AB is known for her cheesecake cannolis, mini cheesecake cones and if you are undecided go for the Sampler Pie (Chocolate Mousse, NY Cheesecake, Mississippi Mud Pie,Carrot Cake). There is limited seating indoor and outdoors but of course bringing these baked treasures to family makes you want to run home and share it with them. The best is the "to go" fridges where you can take home all of the above and more! AB dream was to share their family desserts with neighborhood restaurants, a dream that Bay Ridgians are so happy they did!

    Great Mexican ice desserts. I've had a lot of nieve-type desserts in Mexico aka sorbets or gelato…read more(when made with dairy, hazelnuts etc). Nieves Tia Mimi has some really delicious flavors. I tried the horchata and melon - both were fresh and delicious. The horchata flavor wasn't as rich as the ones I've had in Mexico. The melon was nearly identical - definitely my favorite. I love ice cream and gelato. As far as life goes, desserts are one of the greatest things man ever invented, especially ice cream and frozen desserts ! If you're looking for a refreshing fruit ice dessert, highly recommend Nieves Tia Mimi.

The staff spoke Spanish so I attempted to use my limited spanglish and I confused the female staff so badly. She also was not the most friendliest. Eventually one of the male staff helped me translate - thank you so much! When it was time to pay, total was $15 & I gave the other male staff $20, but received back $1 (I should be getting back $5). Please make sure you get back the right amount because I do not know if the person did it intentionally or not. Nonetheless, the chamoyada & Pina colada were delicious! We were shocked how good they were! You can taste the quality of the Pina colada & it had the right amount of sweetness. It was so refreshing! I would reorder that next time! The chamoyada was very interesting (in a good way). It was spicy sour, a bit sweet, refreshing, a bit salty. It was a surprise party in my mouth! I liked the sour things (it tasted like tamarind) they put on it & that "stick" (straw). I would reorder this again next time! Excellent mexican ices! There were many other flavors to try (like horchata, tamarind, etc). Also tons of indoor seating.
