    an advertisement for cookie butter season is here

    Hands down the best Soft Serve Ice Cream and Ice Cream Cakes! I've been visiting this Carvel ever since I was a child. And now if I'm ever back in the neighborhood, I definitely got this place up! They've been running a special: but one large sundae, get one free! Pretty awesome! The classics are great: Chocolate, Vanilla, or Swirl...but now there are bunch of new flavors, including Biscoff! Yes, Biscoff, Europe"s favorite cookie with coffee! Tip: get the Biscoff and Chocolate together...insanely good! Carvel--America's freshest Ice Cream!

    Although there are several closer Carvel locations, this is the location that I frequently visit (less nowadays... Summer is only 6 months away!). The service is always friendly and accurate. Since the recent change in management, it is running even smoother! I think most of us have fond memories of Carvel ice cream. On my last visit I was curious about their new product, butter cream. The nice young lady (I'm sorry I didn't catch her name, as she did a great job) offered me a free sample of the soft serve, and I knew then that I had found the flavor of my small milkshake. Butter cream is a delightful slice of fall fun! (There is a sentence I never thought I'd write, but I stand by it!!) The soft serve at this location is always perfect, no ice crystals, and great texture! Another favorite, which this location always seems to have on tap is the pistachio flavored soft serve. I recommend you pair this flavor with i a fudge brownie Sundae Dasher, you can thank me later. Don't forget a pack of the iconic Flying Saucers which they always have in stock and freshly made with associated flavors and add ons to choice from. Head on over for a treat, even at peak times, the line moves fast and they have a cupple of outdoor tables for when the weather is nice. I love pumpkin pie, but whomever shows up with a Fudgie the Whale is automatically the HERO of Thanksgiving dinner, he's not dubbed "The King of All Ice Cream Whales" for nothing!

    Old fashioned Ice Cream shops are hard to find in this day and age of hyped up frozen yogurt treats. This place is right on Hillside Ave, a very busy street which I drive past pretty often. The place is very spaced out with a variety of ice cream pints, sandwiches, and ice cream bars placed around the wall. The ice cream cakes are placed in the center of the store. There are a few tables if you're going to be bringing your family and friends to hang out on a hot summer day or during the winter, it's never too cold for ice cream! They have special sometimes, like Wednesdays buy one pint of low fat ice cream get one free. Deals might change every so often. Master and Visa only, no Amex cards are accepted. Staff is fast, friendly and efficient. Parking in the rear of the building.

    Where's the vanilla?

    I've been visiting this Carvel location for years now. However, when I stopped in to purchase a cake recently, I was extremely disappointed by the lack of options. The freezers that were once full, had only a handful of cakes in them. The customer service I experienced that day was also terrible. My questions were met with one word responses & the girl who wrote the birthday message on my cake looked like she could've cared less about being there. In addition to that, when I cut into the cake in the evening, expecting to find even layers of chocolate and vanilla ice cream, I found that most of the cake was chocolate with only a thin layer of vanilla on top, and there were barely any crunchies. It's safe to say I won't be coming to this Carvel location again.

    I just came here to get an ice cream cone. My husband got a sundae dasher. My first impression of the store it. needs a little update , I have been to other carvel much more cleaner . There was a garbage odor there maybe something leaked and they didn't notice it bother me so much I left the store after we got our dessert.

    Super clean and lots of soft serve!

    TOTAL UPGRADE!! It's too bad they can't start the star ratings over when a place changes ownership. This Carvel has had a complete makeover. The service is great and they have a huge selection of flavors, novelties and cakes (ones I've never even seen before) Cleaner, brighter and friendlier. If you had a bad experience before or just looking for a delicious Carvel treat they're worth a visit!

    For those who are not aware: Layers is a Pakistani bakeshop chain that is absolutely delicious!…read more The Elmont location is quite small, and more of a grab and go situation, but the variety of flavors is truly unique. Choose items like Cadbury chocolate brownies, Biscoff or Raffelo cupcakes, or even sundae cups! Seeing as though there were only 2 left, I ordered a Belgian Chocolate Malt cupcake for about tree fiddy (no joke) and was on my way. The cupcake was superb. The base is a nice, moist chocolate cake. But the frosting is where it truly shines. It was so rich and malty, it was like eating a soft Malteser. What's even better is that the size is not obscene, so you're felt feeling satisfied but not overwhelmed. Service was polite. And if you're not in the Elmont area, no worries as there are now a few locations on the island. Would gladly recommend them for your bakeshop needs!

    My hubby had found this little gem last year and we decided to take a little trip this past…read moreweekend. Not a bad drive from mid-Queens, it was about 20-30 minutes out of our way. While on a corner on a pretty busy street, the location seemed slightly obscure. No parking - just 2 or 3 spots in front of the establishment. We came mid-day on a gloomy Sunday in February...so we didn't have an issue parking right in the front. We were greeted by the friendly associate. There were lots of great-looking gelato flavors which the associate also allowed us to sample first (very kind). She was very patient with us and really seemed to enjoy working there. We're BIG hazelnut enthusiasts, so we each had one scoop of hazelnut flavor and one of the Rocher (hazelnut) flavor. They also had an amazing fig and honey gelato flavors which was absolutely delicious. They offer 4 sizes - kids' size, and then the usual - small, medium and large. The small is 2 generous scoops - and that's what we went with. The overall experience didn't disappoint at all; we thoroughly enjoyed the treat, my hubby had an espresso coffee as well (very good) and we got a kids cup of vanilla for our pup. The prices were also decent and for this type of experience, I will gladly support a small business. I definitely recommend checking out this little gem. Will return once the weather get warmer!

I went with my friend and we got the Veggie Momo ($12), the Paneer Momo ($13) and drinks. The Momos are shareable and each order has 8 pcs, along with hot sauce, sweet chili sauce and a yogurt sauce for dips. My favorite dip was the sweet chili sauce. I was pretty excited for the Paneer Momos and they didn't disappoint me. We also got the Iced Passion Fruit Green Tea and the Kulfi Falooda Milk Tea with Boba ($8.85, you need to pay an extra $1 for the Boba). I tried the Kulfi Falooda and it had strong floral flavors that felt a bit overpowering for me. It didn't taste bad and was definitely a new experience.

When I walked in, I only got a quick "hi" and wasn't really acknowledged until after another customer was helped. To be fair, there was only one employee working and she seemed to be doing her best, so this felt more like a management issue than an employee problem. The biggest disappointment was being told they were out of the white/yogurt sauce after I already paid for the momos. That sauce is kind of essential to the dish, so it made the experience feel incomplete. Inventory and communication could definitely be improved. The deal was advertised as 16 it was closer to 18. The atmosphere also felt very empty and quiet. I honestly think this place would benefit from more community events, poetry nights, music, or something to bring more life and energy into the space. I still appreciate what they're trying to do and I do want to support small culturally diverse businesses. There's potential here, but right now the experience feels a bit subpar and unpolished. I'd still come back in the future to see if things improve.

Taste of Paris is not actually that bad. But it is pretty weird. The vibe is less Parisian cafe than hostile architecture. For one thing, there's a hole in the ceiling. It is not small. It's basically an entire missing ceiling tile. Like, there may be some kind of repair project or remodel going on? For another thing, it's rather dark for a coffee shop. It's dimly lit with very little natural light. And the walls seem green screen ready. Jarringly sparse but would make a great Teams background. All that said, the coffee is decent. I ordered off menu. A flat white, no sugar, no syrup. And it was solid. Which, in sum, leaves me at three stars. Two or below if you're drinking in, but maybe four if you're grabbing to go.

Smooth, dessert-like without being sugary, and it keeps that espresso backbone. The iced coffee/cold brew is strong, cold, and actually tastes like coffee (not melted ice and regret). Menu is easy to scan and they've got a solid lineup of flavors, plus grab-and-go energy that's perfect when you're passing through Hillside. Only knock: it's tight inside and parking can be annoying depending on the time. Rating: 4.5/5 -- I'm coming back, and I'm bringing a friend who "doesn't like coffee."
