After a day spent on an event, I was craving for some soft cone icecream. I got lucky and found this place . Tried their vanilla & chocolate cone and it was yummy . Customer service is great. It's also connected to aunt Jenny's pretzels inside the store . They incorporated for better business, good idea . read more

Small but Convenient location, not the cleanest but nice to have outside seating, but the employee must have been new because he couldn't figure out what come to use for soft serve and didn't know how to put it in a cone. But Carvel never disappoints with the different flavors!! read more

I think a piece of my childhood died. Actually I'm not an East Coaster, but I do remember one summer when I was a puppyish ad agency intern living at NYU and treating myself to a big soft serve cone at Carvel. All these years later, I walked by after a Broadway show and saw the place was thriving with quite a few cops enjoying their ice cream. Good sign I was thinking. I decided to order the $5.79 small cup of the Chocolate Vanilla Twist with pieces of Reese's peanut butter cup since I couldn't leave well enough alone (Photo 3). It was intensely thick hovering on the border of frozen and congealed. It just didn't satisfy even though it was likely the same Carvel I enjoyed all those years ago. Was it my palate that changed or their formula? (Shrug) SOFT SERVE - 3 stars...thick but not that appetizing AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...felt safe with all the cops but nowhere to sit SERVICE - 3 stars...honestly can't remember TOTAL - 3 stars...just not the same for me RELATED - Hungry in NYC?

I came here for a sweet treat and it wasn't a bad spot! The inside of the shop is a bit small and there were a bunch of boxes when I went, so it was a bit cramped. There isn't any seating inside but they do have seating outside for you to enjoy your ice cream at. I just wish the inside had more seating for enjoying your ice cream there. They have a bunch of ice cream, soft serve, and other cold treat options alongside with a variety of toppings. I got the mint chocolate ice cream with biscoff crumble and it was good! Good, casual spot for a nice cold treat on a hot day. read more

I was really wanting a soft serve ice cream and passed by here and had to get one. I ordered the swirl and just a regular size and the girl made it perfect and didn't skimp on the size . I also had to order some bon bites and since the heated them up they were so good. If you're in time square and need some soft serve or pretzels or Cinnabons then don't miss this place. read more

I heard great things about Carvel Ice Cream, but found it unremarkable. Really, was just average ice cream, and hard scoop was actually quite soft. read more

I love how quick and convenient the service is here. If you're looking for a fast and satisfying ice cream fix comparable to Cold Stone, this is the spot. Personally, I prefer Carvel over Cold Stone because I feel like I'm getting better value for the price, and the ice cream tastes higher quality. As someone who is dairy-free, I'm always thrilled to find multiple non-dairy options. Carvel didn't disappoint--offering flavors like mango sorbet, cookies and crème, chocolate, and a few others. It's refreshing to have choices that fit my dietary needs. That said, I couldn't resist sampling a bit of my friend's ice cream, and it was incredibly creamy! My dairy-free option didn't have that weird aftertaste some non-dairy ice creams have, and it delivered the kind of sweet treat experience I was hoping for. The shop is efficient and well-run, but be aware that seating is limited--there are just two small tables outside. You may need to grab your ice cream and take a walk. I gave Carvel 4/5 stars for two reasons: first, while the ice cream is good, it's not the very best quality out there. Second, the flavors, while solid, aren't particularly unique or inventive, which is something I always look forward to when trying new ice cream spots. That said, I'll definitely be back, and I'd recommend stopping by for a sweet pick-me-up! read more

My Lemonberry Crumble Soft Serve was bland. The cone was soggy. The staff members were polite and friendly though. The shop looks clean. An okay place for an ice cream but don't have high expectations for it. read more

While walking around Midtown, we stopped by Carvel for some ice cream. I know they're not unique to the area, and there are some locations close to home. I don't think I've been to another Carvel in the recent years. The inside is small, with some colorful ice cream cakes and a variety of ice cream flavors to choose from. There's no seating inside. My friend got the Chocolate Chip Mint and I got the Chocolate Hazelnut. The Chocolate Hazelnut tastes JUST LIKE Nutella. Yum, I enjoyed it so much that I forgot to take a picture. My friend also enjoyed her mint ice cream and it had some chocolate chunks in it. It would be nice if they offered some seating inside. The outside had a table but there was an odor and there was trash all around it. I would like to try this ice cream again, but preferably at a different location. read more

Amazing place very lovely staff they got really good soft serve and very reasonable prices as where they are located at, really very good experience read more

THIS is the famous Carvel soft serve? It has no flavor. The vanilla and chocolate are basically two different colors of the same stuff. If my eyes were closed I wouldn't be able to tell them apart. As soft serve goes, it's very creamy, and not sweet. I was glad I got a cone because it otherwise wouldn't have tasted of sugar. The cheap-looking, cheap-feeling, and destined-to-be-thrown-away plastic holder, which keeps it from dripping on your hands, sucks any charm out of the experience. The service was fine. On a rainy March Saturday at lunchtime, the only other party was picking out ice cream cakes (no line). read more

Snazzy was so helpful and so very nice to me and my friends will 1000% be coming back

The ice cream was so bad, tasted like nothing, at least the employees were sufferable. The topping tasted old and the ice was either watery, flavorless or too sweet overall the ice from this place is not the best. You can make better ice cream at home I promise !!! (Btw I dropped 12 dollars for these two cups) read more

Still the best soft serve ice cream ever! My small cone with the Carvel crunchies was huge and delicious. The server was friendly and efficient. The store is really pretty, and really clean. Great addition to the neighborhood. Thank you! read more

A carvel open late and has everything. Yes its in midtown. Yes its $8 for a cone, but the ice cream is great as always and they have all the toppings. If flying saucers, chocolate bonnets, or other specialties are your thing, they have those in the freezer too. Also hard ice cream. Got a mint and salted caramel cold brew twist with chocolate crunchies. They did make a mistake and give my chocolate sprinkles, but gave me a small container of crunchies on the house as I didn't want them to waste the ice cream to remake it. Definitely will be back. read more

Stopped by to try the soft serve today in honor of their 90 cent soft serve day. What better way to try it when the price is low! They have chocolate, vanilla, horchata, and mint. I decided on mint cone. The cone is stacked high with soft serve and comes in a plastic cover that makes holding the cone easy. I was surprised how much soft serve you get! The soft serve was creamy and not overly sweet. I'd say average, nothing out of this world. Service was quick. No restrooms. Small shop mainly for to go items. They had one small table outside. Also, they carry a variety of ice cream cakes ready for purchase. read more

Custard is amazing! We always stop at Carvel while traveling. Places are clean and custard taste great.

I got a small chocolate and vanilla soft serve - it was good, exactly what you would expect from soft serve. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary so there isn't much to say. They have two tables outside so we sat and ate for a bit. However, it got a bit sketchy since near Broadway. I would suggest taking it to go. read more

Great spot for a sweet fix before or after a Broadway show. They have six flavors of soft serve (when I visited they had cinnabon, strawberry, mint, caramel cold brew, vanilla, and chocolate), lots of hard ice cream, and ice cream cakes. A small soft serve in a cone was $6.30. read more

We strolled in here at like 3 am after deciding we wanted ice cream and while it was cool we found ice cream at 3am in times square it wasn't cool the chick served me dairy free ice cream with out telling me. My son in law ordered the cookies and cream after me and they guy that was now doing the serving said it was dairy free then my son in law started making fun of me for ordering dairy free ice cream. I ate it, but I felt it had to have been much better tasting if it was real ice cream. It's really hard for me to leave a review because I feel I ate fake ice cream. read more

My wife is a big fan of carvel from when she was growing up, so we had to stop in tonight after our show. We both went with the standard chocolate and vanilla swirl dipped in rainbow sprinkles. I thought it was ok, but she loved it. It's not easy eating ice cream when the temps are in the 30s, but we tried our best. read more

Really gross ice cream makes my stomach hurt and the inside of the store literally smells like trash

This place is maximum stinky, inside and out. Smells straight up rotten. And the vibes in there are less than adequate. :( I recommend finding somewhere not in Times Square. read more

I got horrible food poisoning from eating a vanilla cone with rainbow sprinkles last night. I have never felt this awful before. Avoid at all costs. The store looked dirty and unkept so not surprised the machine would be dirty as well. Staff was very nice read more

Went to several of the so called artisan ice cream shops, but found them to just have long lines and higher prices. Carvel had some great flavor creations and excellent. Don't be fooled into new places trying to be Ben&Jerry, Carvel has been around for a long time for a good reason. It is great! read more
