    a hand holding a cup of ice cream
    Jessica W.

    The service was absolutely wonderful, the employees were so sweet and kind. However, the ice cream was just okay to me, and the oreos did not taste that good. I may go back to try other flavors though.

    Plastics shards

    Shards of plastic in my ice cream. I saw the kid change the plastic cover, now I realize it broke on him while he was mixing my cavanalanche with reeses and oreos. He knew he screwed up, but still served a costumer this BS. I ate a few pieces too, until I caught the small one and saw what it is. 9.80 for a cup of ice cream with plastics shards. This is dangerous.

    $8.50 for large oreo shake. I think they also charged for whip cream because he said it was $6.99 before we said yes. Really?? Ok, if it were good like van leuwen good, but it was more like van crappen. This spot has been here for at least 3 decades that I can count but I wager longer. Fine it's an institution and honestly we literally have no other ice creamery to go in the middle of summer than here. Rain or shine they always have a line June through August. Every single time I shake my head after one sip or lick of pure butter fat churned sugar with artificial additives. Someone like VL or ample hills- come open one in Sheepshead bay and put Carvel out of their misery.

    Carvel has been a staple to this neighborhood for over 20 years. the pistachio milkshake and sundaes are my favorite.

    This is a great ice cream spot not simply because the staff here are really friendly, they have 2 types of ice creams one regular carvel ice cream and the other they make kosher ice cream. They also have a nice bug parking lot plus outdoor sitting area in a nice summer day to enjoy the ice creams. We went on Wednesday which to our surprise had a long line outside at 10pm and that we found out was due to Buy 1 Get 1 free Sundays on Wednesday !!! Enjoy

    Whole lotta icecream!

    Hands down one of my favorite Carvel Locations! They have a parking lot!! FREE PARKING!!! YES, THERE IS FREE PARKING IN BROOKLYN!! Ice cream at this location is always super fresh and they oddly have such a large amount of soft serve machines here its insane! Do you know what this means?? Unique flavors like Biscoff cookie that can be served as soft serve and hard. They have some of my favorite flavors including my top pick maple walnut. The selection of cakes is on point! They have so many unique cakes with a LARGE SELECTION to choose from!! Some staff is better than others as they will ask if they can give you samples or if you need free cup of crunchies with the purchase of your cake and others are okay, for the most part I've always had good experiences at this location. I think all Carvel icecream runs around the same concept that has filled our hearts and bellies for decades but this Carvel really caters to its customers. FUN FACT:IMPRACTICAL JOKERS were at this location! Credit card minimum $10. Cash accepted. Everyone knows the best day to go to carvel is Wendsday?? BOGO!! In all seriousness great Carvel!

    Definitely one of the sheepshead bays neighborhoods favorite ice cream place to go. They are usually crowded on nice days but they have a large staff so they get people in and out, QUICK, so I need to give them credit. One thing which I didn't appreciate was when I called in to order our ice cream cake. The lady who answered was rude and rushed us off the phone while saying she knew the spelling of my nieces name and ended up getting it wrong- lol, just shows ignorance. Overall the ice cream is always good and the fudgy the whale cake was awesome, just wish their people skills over the phone were a little bit on the nicer end.

    My small ( not to small actually) proline and strawberry mix.

The mango is a standout, and the brownies are honestly next-level--warm, decadent, and just a step away from a perfect lava cake. They've also got amazing cakes (including a fantastic carrot cake) and a great selection of treats that keep you coming back. What really makes this place special, though, is the owner, Peter. He's always welcoming, professional, and genuinely kind. He greets customers with a smile, takes the time to say hello, and creates an atmosphere that feels both personal and inviting. The staff deserves just as much praise--every single one of them is amazing: professional, friendly, funny, and kind. I've known many of them over time, and they consistently go above and beyond. Today, one of the staff members was incredibly sweet--she even brought my order out to me while I was sitting in my car. That kind of service is rare and really shows how much they care. The shop itself is spotless--seriously clean, top to bottom--and there's even a cozy outdoor seating area where you can sit and enjoy your coffee or dessert. Brooklyn FARMACY at its best--fresh, friendly, local, and full of charm. Highly recommend stopping by--you won't regret it.

Anyway, I was in Brooklyn with my brother to see a concert and had just finished dinner. We had some time before doors opened so we decided to grab a little ice cream before heading over to the venue. Farmacy was steps away - it all seemed like it was meant to be, so off we went. Farmacy aims to capture the nostalgia of an old fashioned soda shop and ice cream parlor. Immediately upon walking in we were greeted by aesthetics - the tile, fixtures, and decor totally give off that vibe. There are a few tables to sit as well as a large bar area with stools; I also noticed a few tables set up outside as well. The traffic flow is set up so that you order first and then have it served to you after sitting. Browsing the menu, I noticed they have a selection of ice cream scoops, shakes, egg creams, specialty sodas, hot chocolates, and a large variety of sundae creations. Since we were there for ice cream, we decided to split a sundae -specifically the Sir Twix-a-Lot. This was chunks for shortcake tossed in caramel and topped with vanilla ice cream that was coated in a chocolate shell. Overall I thought the sundae was solid - but the combinations of textures weren't my favorite to be honest, mostly with how the shortcake played with the ice cream. It wasn't bad though - the flavors definitely gave the Twix aesthetic. My only other issue with the dish was that because chocolate shell was used, any residue at the bottom was hard so you have to chisel it if you want to savor any last spoonfuls; I guess that comes with the territory. Service was good - everyone was friendly. It wasn't too busy when we were there so we had our selection of seats and our ice cream was ready pretty quickly. Overall, I'm glad I finally tried Brooklyn Farmacy out - they have a large selection so I would definitely return when I'm in the area again.

Seating space (not a lot of it, so I imagine it can get packed on busy times) and bathrooms on premises. Hot chocolate was delicious. We got the spiced dark chocolate and the spices were overwhelming. Get dark chocolate without spices. The extra dollar for marshmallow made the chocolate even sweeter, so it was overwhelming and I wouldn't recommend. But. The extra dollar for whipped cream would be nice because the their homemade whipped cream isn't sweet, so it will just thicken up the drink and give you that extra texture oooomph that you'll appreciate. Torino cafe is basically coffee added to any hot chocolate of your choice. That was tasty with dark chocolate. You definitely tasted the coffee and it was less thick than regular hot chocolate (which was on a thinner, sippier side). You can sample ice cream to make your selection. It's all very sweet, so if you're looking for a less sweet option go with Belgian dark chocolate flavor. For a $18 banana split you get three scoops of ice cream and a caramelized banana. Not a big portion for such hefty price. The tiny addition of toppings didn't make this banana split come together into a cohesive dish. Would get something else next time. Definitely not a good deal. Young lovely girls at the cashier were super friendly and accommodating. The not so young gentleman with a mustache who brought our order to the table was very dismissive and rude when we asked him to please bring us a correct order (he carried multiple orders and was harried to be done delivering them and barked something incoherent at us when we asked for help).

The shop itself is small but cute, nicely decorated, with 2 mini tables and a couple of windowsill seats if you want to sit for a bit. Staff was super friendly and generous with samples, which I appreciated since some of the flavors are definitely outside the usual ice cream comfort zone. They also sell pints to take home. Flavor-wise, I tried the masala chai, black cherry cardamom, and the saffron soft serve. The saffron soft serve reminded me of the leftover milk from ras malai turned into soft serve, which was interesting and nostalgic. The masala chai and cherry cardamom were more subtle than I hoped. Some tasted unique upfront but left a slightly weird aftertaste that kind of lingered. I respect what they're trying to do and can see why people love it, especially if you're easing into more globally inspired desserts, but for the price, I wanted stronger flavor payoff and a cleaner finish. TLDR: Unique global inspired ice cream flavors, friendly staff, and free samples, but some flavors felt muted and had an odd aftertaste. Worth trying once if you're curious, but expensive for what it is.
