    The ice cream was good. Nothing amazing but your typical ice cream shop. The place was pretty clean and a fun environment. The staff was super friendly and helpful.

    New soft serve flavor (June 2022)
    Yoonie L.

    We stumbled upon this locally owned and operated Carvel location when we moved to the area last year, because we visited the Aqua Leisure Pools next door LOL. This is the spot to get a frozen treat in this corner of Chesapeake! My fam and I come here often after getting dinner nearby or just for a quick treat. The staff are always upbeat and friendly and the shop is kept clean. They have a variety of hard ice cream flavors on hand, as well as soft serve, ice cream sammies and of course, their famous ice cream cakes. Over the past year, I think we've tried just about everything from Carvel. I'm a big fan of their soft serve and usually get the soft serve by itself or milkshakes (they are made with the soft serve). Everything comes in a variety of sizes to cater to anyone's appetite and you can pretty much customize everything to your liking (for example, Cookies and Cream milkshake can be made with either vanilla, chocolate or swirl; ice creams can be topped with anything, classic sundaes can be made with any flavor soft serve with any topping etc.) They also have weekday daily specials going on (see pic): Monday - 1/2 off Sundae Dashers Tuesday - 1/2 off Carvelanches Wednesday - BOGO Classic Sundaes Thursday - 1/2 off shakes Friday - 1/2 off Banana Barges It's also nice that they stay open late (in terms of Chesapeake). As of this writing, they also offer military discount with presentation of valid ID. Thank you for your support, Carvel! Stay safe, Friends!

    The atmosphere and ambience was so uplifting and joyous. You are greeted with a sense of happiness as you enter the door, the customer service and kindness my best-friend Samson and I had received was so amazing. You will love it here, I highly recommend!!!

    Oreo cold brew on top with cookie butter underneath

    Growing up, we'd occasionally get Carvel cakes for our birthdays. I never knew they sold actual ice cream! We moved out to Chesapeake recently and I can say we have found quite the gem. It's hot out? Carvel. You want something for your sweet tooth? Carvel. Craving a second dessert? Carvel. Hands down. My oldest recently had a birthday and we got a cake from here. They did let us choose a different ice cream flavor, we got mint chocolate chip, for a bit of an up charge. They also can print edible images for the tops of the cakes. The cake was pretty good and got two thumbs up all around. Now, on to their regular ice cream. I'm a creature of habit so my top two flavors are always the cookie butter and Oreo cold brew. One scoop of each in a waffle cone? Incredible. My kiddos love their dragonfruit lemonade and the cotton candy. Their ice cream is so creamy, velvety and addicting. You know those little chocolate crunchies in the middle of the cakes? You can get them on top of your ice cream! The staff have been different every time, but they're always very kind and patient especially with my children. I really appreciate it. We're going to keep coming back and hope that the consistency remains the same.

    Coming from one of our worst Cinema Cafe experiences that required an immediate dose of happiness and where else but Carvel can you find happiness for sale and smiles for free? I am currently stuck on their strawberry shortcake dasher. Just like it sounds, a strawberry shortcake with your choice of ice cream (mine is always strawberry-not only do you get fresh cut up strawberries but there are chunks of them in your ice cream too) and whipped cream. Today I felt like a double dose of happiness and went with a medium. Really, for me, a small is the best size but I ate as much of that medium I could just to wash away the Cinema Cafe sadness that was smothering me. The young ladies here are always so helpful, friendly and willing to give you suggestions and samples of the yummy ice cream. Today we had the place to ourselves so I didn't feel rushed and when I was ready, they gladly made my smile to go. My first review wasn't the best experience for me here but they have been making up for it each time we're here. Thank you for the happiness and the wonderful attitudes. Y'all rock!

    What a great carvel! This carvel location has the biggest selection of ice cream cakes I've ever seen. Also, they do not skimp out on the best part... the crunchies!!!!!!!

    Stopped in after school last week. We were the only ones there so service was supper fast and friendly! Nice clean lobby with lots of seating. Only ordered for my kids they said it was yummy. They got chocolate with sprinkles. The worker was busy decorating some cakes doing a great job they looked yummy! Might have to get one next time!

    Hocos pocus shake

    Friendly staff!!! So accommodating to my two year old who kept dropping her spoon ‍ And the hocus pocus milk shake definitely out a spell on me!

    2 layer cookies and cream ice cream cake with chocolate "crunchies" in the middle
    Danette H.

    Coming here to order and pick up my daughter's birthday ice cream cake was a breeze. When I came to order, the young lady who helped me stopped what she was doing, grabbed her order notebook, and immediately came to assist me. She answered all of my questions with a quickness and helped me to make the best choice in what I was looking for. That same attentiveness and quick customer service was there when I came to pick up my order days later. I was a little surprised by the cost of the cake, but I do know that Carvel can be a little pricey. Anyhow, the price was well worth it! My baby girl enjoyed it and so did the few family members that we shared it with! The cake was very pretty and the chocolate "crunchies" were a big hit! From Flying Saucers and yummy ice cream cakes to simple ice cream cones with sprinkles, I'll definitely be making another visit to this location soon!

    Harry Potter themed cake
    William A.

    I came to this Carvel location just looking for a plain pink cake for my wife's birthday so I could decorate it myself in a Harry Potter theme. Turns out, they were able to decorate it in the way I was going to. I put my trust in them because I was worried that I would mess it up. They absolutely nailed it. I couldn't believe how perfect the cake looked when I picked it up. I would highly recommend this Carvel location to anyone and everyone.

    This is a nice little find since moving to Chesapeake. It's down on South Battlefield and I have to pass a Dairy Queen to get here, but it's totally worth it! When you step inside they definitely have the whole retro thing going on and it works nicely. The counter is over to the left side as you enter and partially along the back. To the right are some coolers full of sodas and in the middle you find old ice cream parlor stools and chairs covered in red with metal banding around them. It's a nice touch. On my visit I picked up a peanut butter and chocolate milkshake. I don't remember the cost but it wasn't expensive and was oooooooh so delicious. The people working there were very nice and it seems like it's a family operation. I noticed on the way out there's also tables and chairs outside which will be especially nice once once spring and summer get here. I think on my next visit I'll bring Jango and hook him up with a scoop as well.

    Taking my son for birthday ice cream. Great service and amazing ice cream. Definitely recommend.

    Delicious. Great, friendly service. Price as expected for fancy ice cream. Worth coming back.

    Must. Try. These.

Once chosen, she was also very receptive to ideas and changes as my party plans continued. Payment was easy and fair, honestly I think I got much more than I expected! The cake was delivered on time and was absolutely beautiful. Almond three tier cake. Fading from Dark to purple (bottom) to white. Multiple shades of purple spotted mushrooms were placed on the side running the entire one side of the cake. Cutest things ever seen. The details were amazing. Many times a cake like this falls short on flavor. Not this one. Cake was moist, marbled (purple of course) almond cake. Icing was not too sweet and even the fondant was not overwhelming and was actually a pleasure to eat. I still did not test my sugar level the next morning because, I had a second piece. Don't tell on me!!! Candice, all 28 people that attended, loved that cake. My wife, Kimberley, the most! Thank you!!!

    Hidden Gem for Sweet Tooths & Pup Parents!…read more We visited House of Marmalade as part of the Hampton Roads Passport Series, and I am so glad we did -- I don't think I would've discovered this little gem otherwise! The shop is small and cozy with no indoor seating, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in charm and incredible sweets. The bakery case was absolutely stunning -- full of beautifully made cookies, macarons, and more. We tried three macarons (espresso, almond, and salted caramel), and every single one was perfection -- fresh, flavorful, and just the right size and sweetness. We also grabbed a shortbread cookie, which was buttery and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. And let's not forget our pup! Lexi got a pumpkin cupcake with peanut butter icing, topped with a tiny bone-shaped treat -- not only adorable, but she devoured it. Definitely pup-approved! The staff was fantastic -- super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. You can tell they care about their craft and their customers. Whether you're doing the Passport Tour or just looking for a place to grab something sweet, House of Marmalade is absolutely worth the stop. We'll definitely be back!

    This must be what Heaven tastes like... sweet to me!! Nothing but pure bliss…read more Well back in February 2020, I had the opportunity to try this baker out for myself. If you recall a few months prior, I only had a slice of cake and fell in love. This time around, I ordered a sheet cake and some cupcakes for the kiddos. Everyone was thoroughly pleased! I only kept raving about this baker for months... the day came for all to taste and see what the hype was about! I ordered a strawberry lemonade flavor for the children and a strawberry champagne for the adults. This cake was super rich, I could only eat one good sized slice. But I made sure I had more for later. I think the cake lasted a good week and every day I had a slice and it kept tasting better and better. Now if you want to treat yourself, check her out! Her customer service is on point as well. I placed an order online and receive word via email about someone contacting me about my order. It may have been an hour that went by before I noticed an email in my inbox from the bakery. My daughter kept changing her mind on what type of party(ies) she wanted. As a result, I at least reached out to the bakery via email three times before my order was final and the flavoring and design was set. Each time the contact person, I believe it was the owner, she was super professional and continued to work with me and my different arrangements until everything was final. I understand she has tens maybe hundreds of orders each month, but she was focused on getting my order right and making sure I was satisfied. All in all, I wholeheartedly recommend you give this baker a try. Make sure you check her office hours online, but I'm thinking someone is always monitoring the email. At this time with all the turmoil going on in the world, I believe she is offering delivery of baked goods. I noticed she's offering a KETO style cookie too. I think I am going to try those. real soon. Her masterpieces and gifted hands are worth every cent. Support local, Buy local! Have fun and enjoy life :)

    I stopped by Custom Cake Cakery today to pick up some cupcakes. I used to come here before when it…read morewas a different bakery years ago. So it was my first time here since they changed. I was greeted right away. The young lady at the counter was nice, she was patient, and she answered all my questions. The store is a vibe. There are beautiful flowers and decor, and it's pretty and clean inside. There's a table inside, but it's not much space to eat there. So it's more of a pickup type of bakery. They had several different flavors of cupcakes in the display which all looked tasty!! They also sell custom cakes and other baked goods. I grabbed my cupcakes but I was taking pics for my review. So as I'm taking pics, I'm smiling and minding my business. A lady walks in and you can tell she was in a bit of a mood. She started talking to the girl behind the counter in a rude tone. So I went on taking my pics, and the counter where the register was, had several boxes, so I sat my cake box down on this little cart that had toppings. I thought it was too cute not to get a pic of. All of a sudden I hear the same tone say "please don't sit anything there"! I wasn't aware she was talking to me at first so, she said ma'am and I turned around. She told me no, don't put anything on that, we take that to shows or for catering. She said it could get scratched up or dinged. I apologized and moved the box. She was still talking. So I said ok. I mentioned there wasn't a sign up or anything to alert me that it was a problem. But I wasn't being rude or weird. I mean it literally was a small dessert box. When we both walked outside I told her I wasn't trying to be rude, I just wasn't fond of how she was speaking to me and thought the sign would help avoid conflicts in the future. She obviously didn't want to talk about it, so she said we never needed a sign because no one has ever done that before!! As if I'd broken some unspoken law. Lol. By this time I was confused as to what I did that was so wrong, I even had to giggle because this small situation didn't warrant her being snappy. I tried to give her grace because I don't know what kind of day she was having. But I'm assuming she's the owner at this point. She should definitely get her tone in check, because customers can pick up on your nice nasty approach. I thought this was going to be a good experience, but it left me confused and a little disappointed. The whole vibe was light and airy before she walked in. As for the cupcakes they were not what I expected. I got a mystery box so it was a mix of cupcakes they pick out that are leftovers from the previous day. But these had to have been from several days ago because each and every one was hard, none were moist. Very heavy cupcakes. There was carrot cake, I think a maple one, lemon blueberry, and chocolate. I noticed the carrot cake one had the after taste of raw flour.. . The chocolate one and the lemon blueberry tasted the best out of all of them, but each one of them had to much extract, except the chocolate one. I'm not just saying this because of the encounter we had. I don't hold grudges, this is an honest reaction. I had been excited to try this place because I have a sweet tooth. Maybe the fresher cupcakes taste better, so I'll give them that. But these weren't good to me. That's just my opinion, but still check them out, maybe it'll be a different experience and you may enjoy the flavors!! Again it's a gorgeous store!!

    Given the sheer number of positive comments I received during the birthday party where these cakes…read morewere the star, I would be remiss in not providing a review. As you can see from the pictures, the birthday cake and "smash" cake are absolute works of art. Our requests along with the artist's input ("baker" seems inadequate and probably inaccurate...) resulted in visually stunning, whimsical and an utterly ideal end product for the precious one year old baby girl guest of honor! But the accolades do not end with the visuals. I am grateful for the expertise and guidance received as I ordered for our party. I could not have asked for a better outcome. The actual cake was flavorful and tender. Even with the cakes still chilly from overnight refrigeration, the texture was light and moist - rich in taste with so many rave reviews from our guests. Since nana got to keep the leftover smash cake remains, picking through the baby's carnage has absolutely been worth the effort. If there is a "negative" it would probably be along the line of costs but given the nature of government imposed exorbitant taxes, there isn't much we can do about that. The first time I ordered any custom cakes elsewhere, the smash cake was a courtesy and provided at no charge. With that said, there absolutely is no comparison in end-products. We received two unique, beautifully crafted delicious cakes. And given how many years it has been since venturing in to the world of custom cakes, the price seems commensurate with inflation and nearby comparisons. So, I think this whole venture proves you do "get what you pay for" and you will find only praise for Custom Cake Cakery.
