    Vanilla bourbon toffee
    Farrah B.

    This is only the 2nd time I've been to a Carvel store, and I'm really shocked that is the case. The ice cream quality is superb compared to many other chains. The employees were nice and ready to serve customers with masks and active social distancing. The protected counter area was appreciated. Being lactose intolerant holds me back from enjoying dairy treats most times, but there are exceptions im willing to suffer for. This scoop of Vanilla bourbon toffee was definitely on the list. It was so good, I wished I had purchased a pint to take home.

    This Oreo + Cold Brew thing is so good!

    I've been to this Carvel over a dozen times and I'm so glad to have it in our neighborhood. Like other reviewers have noticed, there aren't many ice cream parlors in the neighborhood, so I'll take what I can get and this Carvel delivers. My go-to here is the soft serve with rainbow sprinkles. It's a simple, tasty treat. You can't go wrong with soft serve. But you should also know that on Wednesdays, you can get 2-for-1 sundaes! I also recently tried the Oreo and Cold Brew shake. This thing was so good. It's cold brew flavored ice cream with crushed up Oreos, chocolate syrup, and whipped cream. This thing was so good that I ate the whole thing. It was worth the bellyache that came a few hours later.

    This bakery is amazing--everything is made in-house, and it always smells incredible when you walk…read morein. A friend recommended it to me, and I've already ordered two birthday cakes from here. The tiramisu cake was absolutely delicious, honestly one of the best I've ever had. I didn't even know you could customize a tiramisu cake since it's usually served the traditional way, but they made it exactly how I wanted. As someone who loves tiramisu, this really stood out. I also ordered a strawberry shortcake, and it was just as impressive. The buttercream was so good , light, flavorful, and not overly sweet. Everyone loved it, and there wasn't a single slice left. The owner's son (I believe) was super helpful, he really takes the time to understand what you want and brings it to life perfectly. I've also tried their croissants, which are huge and delicious, and the hero bread is excellent too. Just a heads-up: they only accept cash.I'll definitely be ordering all my cakes from here moving forward!

This bakery has…read morebeen around to more than 40 years and I remember growing up always having this for our family birthday parties. It has actually been a while since I've had it and my friend made a special request specifically for strawberry shortcake for her 50th birthday. Du Bois for the first place that came to mind. Took a quick look online from pics from previous customers and was surprised to see the number of different designs they can do now. I picked this pink flower one that the owner made out of fondant and it was so pretty and exceeded my expectations. There was no additional charge at all. Back in the days....40 years ago, there was one style I remember getting and it was white cream with strawberries. Now there's so many you can pick from. The birthday girl was so happy with the design. I ordered a 20 person cake. There were 2 choices-round or sheet cake. Round is $60 which is what I opted for since I thought it looked prettier and the sheet cake is $50. The round cake actually came out very tall but gorgeous. Harder to cut too since it was taller. The owner was so nice. He custom made the top of the cake box to make sure the cake fit and doesn't get damaged. The fresh cream on the cake is so good. Not too sweet and very light. Perfect with the strawberries. The cake part was moist and yummy. I forgot how much I love this cake. All the nostalgic memories of eating it when I was younger came back. Honestly, I think it's even better than I remember. And the price was so reasonable for such a beautifully decorated cake.

I placed an order through her site and I got an email back the next day and we took it from there. Karen is so sweet and very professional, she contacted me confirming details of delivery the day before and she delivered the cake HERSELF the day of my birthday and gave me instructions on storage until the time of my event. Such amazing service! When I opened the cake I was blown away, it was absolutely perfect. Karen was so attentive to the details I wanted, I have this teddy bear I run an instagram for and she made him as a topper, it was SOOOO CUTE!!! On top of that, the dreamy design on the front of the cake was really beautiful. I ordered the earl grey flavor cake 6" petite, I highly recommend this flavor it was so delicious. Not too sweet and very flavorful, the buttercream was nice and light, slightly aromatic with the scent of tea. I'm SO happy I ordered my birthday cake from Karen, she's made the perfect cake in so many ways and I've fallen in love with her work. Definitely recommend!

However, the staff were also super warm and accommodating, and the quality of the items we got (gluten free vanilla and chocolate cupcakes) was great. The actual cake bases of both types were moist and flavorful. I could've gone with a little less frosting and more cake, but it made for a very aesthetically pleasing topping with the vibrant colors, sprinkles, and glitter. I kept getting strong hints of rose flavor from the pink frosting on the chocolate cupcakes so I'm not sure if they infused it with that. Overall, a great little spot, and really a savior for procrastinators looking for sweet goodies to take to a gathering when other last-minute ideas fall through!

I got the cube cakes here, and despite being very distinct flavor profiles, they were all delicious. My friends and I's favorites were earl grey with yuzu glaze and the lemon olive oil with strawberry glaze. They also had vegan options which tasted just as good (and as moist) as the non-vegan. Like I wouldn't have been able to tell by tasting it. I also have had cakes from here (various friends' parties), which is how I first heard about it. My favorite cake is the Blueberry Earl Grey cake. The earl grey flavored pastries here are amazing. Such a great distinct flavor that is not too heavy and pairs well with the fruitiness of the blueberry. I also tried their strawberry shortcake matcha latte. Very very sweet, but a great pick-me-up (which is actually unlike their pastries which I'd consider to be "not too sweet" = perfect sweetness level for the Asian palate). The staff was very pleasant, and they put my pastries in different bags to note which ones to refrigerate and which are okay at room temperature.

However, I find that a lot of the restaurants in LIC is on the more expensive side, so maybe this is the average cost there. Luckily, all that money wasn't for nothing. It was my first time having a naked cake, and I thought I wouldn't like it that much since I'm all about that frosting/ whipped cream. But it was perfect. The two layers of sponge cake sandwiches a thicccc layer of frosting, so it wasn't too dry. The pandan flavor came through and wasn't too sweet. Though, I do think I could get just as tasty or even tastier cakes for a lower cost. Love that it comes with complimentary candles!
