    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.

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!!

This time, we took the F train to Carroll St, walked by a quiet residential area and some busier streets. We ordered and paid by the entrance, given a number and looked for seats. Tables for 4, and along the long counter in the front area; small counter for 3, and 2 round tables in the back, where the restroom also is. Got a reg scoop of Coffee bean- small scoop, with specks of coffee; and a Warm brownie sundae - small for the price of almost $17- 1 regular scoop of ice cream, flanked by brownie (was good, soft and warm), covered with fudge. Asked for whipped cream and cherry on the side. Missing the shaved chocolate. Atmosphere is not lively for a soda fountain but I loved the decor/old pharmacy items. Employees were just working, with straight-faces/no smiles.

We ordered the egg cream (as it was award winning according to their wall), the black and white milk shake and coffee. The black and white milk shake was definitely the best of what we ordered. It was fresh and had a homemade taste. The chocolate had a richness to it. I would definitely come back to try the other items on the menu like the sundae. The place itself has a rather old timey vibe to it, which makes it quaint. The service was fast and friendly. If you're in the area I would definitely recommend checking out Brooklyn Farmacy.

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. We left way too much behind since we were heading out after and not home. Lesson learned: laser wolf is a great celebration/date night venue for all the right reasons. But go with a larger party, not just two.

The assortment of unlimited salatim, Hebrew for salad, was enjoyable and easily filed me without the guilt of overeating. And the view of the Manhattan skyline from the restaurant is just splendid. And one caveat, this Israeli meal is my small reminder that we should never judge or be judged by the actions of governments or political leaders. Humanity is always bigger than politics. Hatred becomes dangerous when we stop seeing people as individuals and start judging entire groups. History has shown us where that can lead. This is a reminder to myself and to anyone seeking peace and love (Channeling George Harrison and John Lennon, still have a bit of beatlemania from my Liverpool trip ).

Both flavors were distinct. I loved the mango one as it actually tasted like Indian mangoes and the pistacho one actually tasted like kulfi. The consistency is imo so much better than gelato. It's creamy and melts in your mouth. The ambiance is cosy, lots of people just hanging out like at a 3rd space. The attention to decor is really good, the walls and ceilings also have this classy look and feel. The service was great. They let me try 2 flavors, and my husband 1.
