    Fudgie: the king of all ice cream whales
    Will H.

    FUDGIE THE WHALE REVIEW ONLY: it was a honor and frankly life-changing to experience "the king of all ice cream whales" firsthand. This simple yet decadent delight has surely shared countless special occasions and played a key part in so many memories of those primarily in the northeastern United States near a Carvel store. Despite my arguable middle-aged status, a childhood spent 3/4 of the time in Florida largely deprived me of the Carvel experience. My brother in law turned 44 yesterday, bonafide middle age! He had key formative years spent witnessing the cheesy Tom Carvel commercials for this famous whale and its forever-linked cousin, cookie puss. For him, last night evoked a nostalgia that you can't put a price on. At least I can't because I didn't buy this cake! For those uninitiated, this cake consists of chocolate "crunchies" within layers of cakey ice cream and of course, "fudge." I'm sure it's full of chemicals and there was no calorie count, but who cares, it is delicious and simply screams of an occasion that's special. The store also sold those trick "impossible to blow out" candles which was a nice reminder of normality these days. Fudgie rightly earns his/her (not sure of their pronoun) place in pop culture and our waistlines. Aside from checking out the old commercials on YouTube, Fudgie must be seen (and eaten) to be fully understood. No harpoon necessary. Thank goodness for modern science for allowing us to come back together, and for Carvel, its hedge fund backers, and franchisees to be right there by our side ready to make new memories!

    Such a variety of ice cream at Carvel. I have been here a few times and the customer service has always been pleasant. They have already made tubs of ice cream and ice cream cakes. Their ice cream is more on the pricier side but it's delicious. I typically opt to get a ice bream blend with something simple like Oreos and whipped cream. They have hard ice cream and soft serve.

    Such a sweet little ice cream shop! They have the absolute best soft serve around! It is so creamy and light! You do not feel weighed down after eating it. They have many different flavors special to Carvel which I enjoy! Definitely come here for some ice cream if you are in the area.

    My favorite ice cream. I wish they didn't close the Liverpool location. I just love the vanilla soft serve.

We had an outdoor open bar during cocktail hour, and their staff transitioned everything seamlessly into the indoor bar for the reception--our guests didn't miss a beat. The appetizers were delicious, the food was outstanding, and every drink was made perfectly. The well oiled machines and beautifully organization kept the night moving smoothly, and we never once had to worry about a thing. The staff was friendly, attentive, and on top of every detail. So many of our guests complimented the food, the drinks, and the overall service--and we couldn't agree more. Bella Domani exceeded every expectation we had. We are so grateful for everything they did to make our day so special. If you're looking for a venue or caterer that will take incredible care of you and your guests, Bella Domani is the place. They helped create a night we'll remember forever.

Very clean, bathrooms were spotless, and place appeared well kept and modern. Dining Hall was very nice, food hot & fresh, and servers were very gracious, and kind during the service. What really made it exceptional is the service was from 12:00-3:00 but several people arrived late yet the staff still stayed on and took care of them. Two thumbs, thanks so much for the kindness, good food, and clean facility.

    I was at this store on 7/1/18 in the bakery area. I was waiting to get a loaf of their fresh baked…read morebread on a shelf over toward the seafood freezer. A woman was standing at the shelf for a pretty decent amount of time, trying to choose a loaf. I positioned myself to see wth she was doing to take so long. She was opening the loaf of bread & feeling between each slice! I waited to see if she put it in her cart. NOPE! Back on the shelf it went. I grabbed the loaf of bread and said, "you can't do that!". She replied, "I'm not going to buy a loaf with holes in it". I know what she is talking about, fresh bread often has air pockets which leaves you with slices that aren't complete. I said, "I don't care what your reason is, you can't touch all the bread like this, that other people are going to buy". She said, "my hands are clean". At this point I feel like I'm losing my mind. I took the loaf that I knew she had touched and brought it to an employee & explained what was going on. He went over to her. A man, who appeared to be with the woman, looked at me and said, "go bother someone else". I said, "this is disgusting, I am not bothering anyone, what she is doing is VILE". I probably got a little loud, another employee came over. The woman said she didn't touch the bread. I blurted out YOU ARE ON VIDEO YOU DISGUSTING PERSON! The worker who came over to see what was going on was nice, got me a loaf of bread from the back. ALL of the bread on that shelf should have been disposed of. ALL OF IT. Evidently Walmart needs to tape the very top of the bags so these disgusting shoppers can't test drive food that others are going to buy & consume. When we get the bread home we can snip off the taped part & go on with our lives, knowing no one fingered the f'ing bread. I realize, it's only bread, but for the love of God... is it too much to ask that I may purchase food that hasn't had someone's azz picking fingers grazing over it.
