I had really good past experiences here. Had birthday cakes made with pictures airbrushed onto the cakes- came out perfect. Staff was helpful, store was clean and I love the fact they have a drive thru. How convenient is that!!?? I would def return - since I had a terrible experience today at the Carvel in Spotswood .. smh read more

My 5 star rating is for the staff, their services are always pleasant. I go to the drive thru 1-2 times per week, the line can be quite long but it's worth it. read more

I've been going to this Carvel since I was kid! They always have nice staff working here that aim to please. I absolutely love Carvel Reese's sundae dashers, and I like to create my own sundae dashers too! Today, I created my own custom dasher here. I picked the flavors midnight madness and chocolate chip cookie ice cream, and had it layered with peanut butter and Reese's. It was so delicious!!! The chocolate chip cookie flavor ice cream is so good!!! This location also carries a lot of variety of soft serve flavors too. I also noticed that they have apple pice ice cream still in stock too. That's another great flavor! I recommend Carvel in Old Bridge, and you have to try the Reese's dasher! read more

My wife's favorite Carvel location hands down. While other locations are closer to my house, the management and team at this Carvel are friendly and appreciate the business. Custom cake orders are gladly accepted. read more

ice cream is overall good. Theres a lady in ye drive-thru that was very rude, made me feel rushed on my order. Will never go back.

Great ice cream! I especially liked the small kid's sized cup of pistachio ice-cream with chocolat syrup on top. Service was fast and friendly. It's great that it is open year round as many people like having ice cream in winter. It's a great place to take kids for a gathering after a game of hockey or ice skating at the Old Bridge Skating rink. The kids like vanilla with lots of sprinkles. read more

Hit or miss. My kids like the carvel style cakes. I prefer Baskin but sometimes I feel rushed there. Sometimes it feels like they're doing you the favor. It's been a while since I've been there from this visit.. I usually try to go for just special occasions because of previous interactions with the older women. While this last visit was good. read more

Simply the best! This store consistently offers high quality, freshly made products at a reasonable price. Every single item (yes, even the ice cream) is made on site daily and you can absolutely taste the difference compared to the store bought crap or literally any other parlor ice cream. This is also one of the only Carvels to offer drive-thru service which is a really nice convenience. The owners and staff provide excellent service, are courteous and friendly, and are very good at helping you choose from the many different combinations of ice creams, toppings, and all the other goodies they offer! read more

Carvel Ice Cream - a birthday cake - Desserts Near Me - Old Bridge, New Jersey

I been a resident of Old Bridge for 10 years. Since living here, I have chosen this Carvel as my go to Ice Cream spot. Not because of service, but because is so close to my house. The service has always been slow weather inside or drive-thru. I took my family for ice cream on 4-27 then again the next day (4-28) after my daughter's Dance practice. After waiting in the drive thru line for a while, we finally get our turn, order and pay. The male at the drive thru window handed us a coupon for a free junior cone valid the following day. The following day, I take my daughter to soccer practice and subsequently to Carvel to redeem the Free Junior cone coupon. The place was mobbed, so many people it took strong will to want to stay and wait. Being that my little one was already excited, I got in the drive through lane and waited. When our turn finally came, I ordered and paid for 2 ice creams cones (for my wife and I) then inquired about my free cone. Thats when the catch came into play (cause there's always a catch,right?) Oh no Sir, sorry but thats only valid inside the store. Seriously? I wait the line, paid for 2 ice creams and now I can't get the free cone I was there for in the first place? It would have taken her 5 seconds at most to hand us a JR size cone. Wouldn't you think that if we were at the window and had already bought and paid for 2 ice creams that your objective was already accomplished (to get us to buy something). Well, I'm very disappointed, we were deceived and taken advantage of. We did not see that anywhere in the coupon flyer. I think it was just made up as an excuse not got honor the coupon. They knew we weren't going to make another line inside with so many people already in front of us and no place to park. Hate to say that after so many years and over deceitful practices, they have lost a family of loyal customers over a JR Cone. Cold Stone HERE WE COME!!!! Sincerely, No Longer a Customer read more

How can you go wrong? Its Ice Cream!! This location is open in the Winter, thats a plus! I wanted some ice cream and just happened to be in the area of this place. Its clean and service was good. No complaints. Like I said, its open in December when many places are closed. read more

My sister and I used to come to this location because the one by us in Spotswood had a crazy lady manning the store, and we just couldn't deal with her. The drive here was worth the lack of stress in ordering. But this spot does have younger kids working and sometimes they just don't think. One young guy used his finger to scoop the soft serve chocolate back into the cup when he misjudged it and it fell out from the dispenser. Gross! Sorry, you can never do that with people's food, and at the very least not somewhere that the customer can clearly see you! We had to ask him for a new one. He was well accommodating, but kind of weird that happened in the first place. Have their parking lot. Near the intersection and light, so easy to get in and out, but have to watch out for cars coming and going. read more

Went on new years eve to but a birthday cake with my two little granddaughters. We were trying to decide what cake we wanted in the freezer. The cakes all were decorated differently. The lady tells me to close the freezer. I said we are just trying to pick a cake. She said they are all the same. I said no they are not.. There are different designs. I can't see them with the freezer closed. I picked one.. Closed the freezer and asked how many words can you fit on the cake. It is my son's new years eve birthday so I was thinking of putting something silly. Instead of her talking to me with respect.. She goes well it's not a book!! It's a cake. I did not want to go back at her with my grandchildren there so just did a basic happy birthday. She showed me and closed it... Then my granddaughters asked if she could put a heart on it. She was annoyed but dotted the I with a heart instead of just drawing a heart on the bottom... Well..I work in customer service and I understand that you deal with difficult people daily...I was not being difficult and did not deserve to be treated that way. You need to try to be a little softer when you work in an ice cream store... It's supposed to be a fun.. Friendly place to visit. Sorry that society has hardened you in this way... Do better! read more

I needed a cake for my mothers birthday late Saturday afternoon. I checked the website and it said they need 36 hours for an order. So I went in Thursday night and the kids working there told me they couldn't do it. I told them it was more than 36 hours and they still said no. They obviously couldn't be bothered. I'll take my business elsewhere, Cold Stone said they had no problem doing it. read more

You try to give them business and their employees would not allow cars into the parking lot at 7:40pm. I assume they close at 8:00pm and this was pathetic. I'll give my business to others that really want it. Avoid this place!!! read more

They have imbeciles working at Carvel. I asked for a thic shake and I got a milky like water downed shake it's terrible spent like 25$ got 2 dashers and they were over filled and just terrible. Justin was the one that helped us and was terrible service and not respect at all. read more

Love the ice cream and the available assortment of flavors. I realize this type of an establishment attracts young, high school labor force, but wish they'd hire more mature kids read more

The service was good ordering. However, I was over charged by $30 and when I called the next day to get it fixed, the manager acted as if I was trying to steal from them. She was extremely rude and even said it herself. I will never go back there. Check your receipts! read more

I used to like coming here but the place changed. A bit dirty and the 2 ladies always have a puss on as though you are bothering them. And the cakes are so over priced they used to be much thicker now they are soooo small. I paid 20 dollars for a cake that was literally 1/2 inch . read more

I ordered a sundae and they asked for $5 and gave me no change. I did the math after and it turns out the total would have been $4.97!! That is some theft!!! Good ice cream though. read more

The staff was very polite and very helpful. I really enjoyed the wide selection to choose from. Carvel has everything you need for any type of celebration or event. I highly recommend them! read more

My favorite spot to get ice cream! Always great service everytime i come hrre! I wish they brought back the oreo soft serve ice cream! That was the BEST!!!! read more

This location better get some "adult" management in there. If a surprise inspector shows up, they may have problems. The young workers fool around, have their visiting friends behind the counter, touch their hair and faces! There are not many reviews, but two others have mentioned this unsanitary condition. Girls should have hair pulled back, and not touch it when serving ice cream. Young man must not wipe his nose on his arm while at the soft serve making a cone! The toppings area has been a mess lately. Great ice cream but this place had better clean things up! read more

I was so excited seeing a carvel in town after moving into the area a few years ago. Been coming here for their ice cream cakes year round for bdays and summer time ice cream runs. Service has always been good and their products are better and fresher than the ones you find sitting for days in grocery stores. read more
