The first thing you notice is the fun vintage-looking Carvel sign outside. As for a review--I'll try to be honest but the truth is, I'm a DQ girly. My husband loves Carvel and he wanted me to try a flying saucer, he couldn't stop raving about it. Well let me tell you, I haven't changed my mind. The interior is standard, nothing special, pretty tidy I suppose. The service is fine, similar to DQ, but this flying saucer biscuit sandwich thing was NOT IT. My husband said it tastes different since he had it as a child, well that's unfortunate because I'm assuming that means it tastes worse. Welp, it's a chain and not a very good one, if you're here it's probably for a cookie puss or some variation of an ice cream cake. Remember when Howard Stern was poking fun at Fred for giving his mom a Cookie Puss? Haha!! Sorry Carvel fans. read more

Carvel - Flying Saucer - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Westport, Connecticut

It's not the same ice cream, dip, or cone as Carvel. More ice milk, chalky dip, and grocery store flavored cone. Sad to say we won't be back to one of our favorite ice cream spots. read more

This was a nice Chocolate soft serve Carvel ice cream I've had in long time after grabbing a bite to eat from my new-found seafood restaurant in Westport, CT. This stand-alone Carvel has that distinct 1950s Grease-esque retro feel. The thing is, you can tell. The outside is gloriously vintage down to its neon sign. But the inside is far from it as I noticed scuffed marks and messy areas when I ordered my Chocolate ice cream cone and a Vanilla for hubs at their window. Person behind the counter was pleasant though. But if counter area and dirty spots are so visible, it makes me wonder how hygienic this place is. read more

Carvel - BeHold: (Chocolate On Chocolate Cone) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Westport, Connecticut

See all

VERY SMALL PORTIONS. NOT AS PICTURED.... When asked the teenage boy asked the owner and she said " it's deflated!!! 2 other people complained!! Oh... btw. Dosent taste like Carvel. Just soft ice cream. Shame on them. Where is undercover boss?? read more

$7 and change for a large chocolate shake. I repeat, seven friggin' plus dollars for a large chocolate shake. Sure it was good and I was really in the mood for a shake but Carvel is right up there in price now with Cold Stone and other premium ice cream shops. I think I need to curtail my Carvel cravings and limit myself to only visiting on Wednesdays. For those that don't know, on Wenesday you get two sundaes for the price of one. 3 stars for the ice cream and 1 star for value. read more

Carvel - carvel ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Westport, Connecticut

Friday night I wanted to get some dessert for the family. I looked online and it said was open until 10. I pull up at 9:45-the owner is counting the money in the window, with the doors locked. After I tried to open the door, he looked up and basically waved me off. On the bright side, I went to Sunny Daes down the road and bought some amazing ice cream sandwiches for the family (6 for $11-12). While they closed at 10, there were cars full of high school kids pouring in and welcomed at 10:05. Booooooooo Carvel! read more

Came back here years later. They are still understaffed,rude,overpriced and give you much less then other carvels. It's not worth it.

Came here for ice cream tonight with my family and was beyond disappointed. I didn't know you could screw up the taste of classic carvel chocolate soft serve but boy was I wrong. It was absolutely disgusting and inedible. It tasted of sour chemicals. And the girl working the window was very rude. The prices were way over priced too, $20 for 4 kids sized ice creams, which are the smallest sizes you can get. Absolutely do not recommend. read more

Customer service in this location is horrific! The woman behind the counter seems miserable and like she would rather be outside smoking a pack of cigarettes! Not the place to work if you are a miserable person! Also when I swiped my card to pay almost 14.00 for ice cream it ask what percentage you would like to tip?!!!!!!??? TIP?!!! For Scooping ice cream!??? RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!! This is the worst location. Go elsewhere read more

This location is way too overpriced. I'm a big fan of Carvel but feel ripped off. They probably think they can get away with this pricing in one of America's wealthiest towns. Save yourself some dollars and go to Shake Shack down the road! read more

I went to this store today for the "buy one get one free" on sundaes. I had checked their website beforehand and it said, very clearly, that they honored that promotion. The person taking my order said they don't honor that promotion, and haven't for years. So I went up the street to Shake Shack and got their frozen custard. It was excellent, and two dollars less than Carvel. read more

Fudgie the Whale That is all I really have to say. except don't try eating 1/3 of him at once. Not a good idea. Teenagers usually work the store but have been friendly and helpful. Plus they added my name to my fudgie the whale cake for my birthday for free. Oh did I write that they have fudgie the whale. This is an actually location and not found in the supermarket, which some of those places don't carry all the good cakes read more

Ride older woman behind the counter. So nasty I didn't even want to eat the half scoop she dumped into a cup charging me full price. Judging by these reviews she treats everyone the same. read more

Soft serve taste the same everywhere but 9 bucks for 2 cones is surely a ripoff. And only one had a topping of sprinkles. What really did it in for me was the sign stating a dollar extra charge if you pay by debit/credit. Not only a turnoff but against the agreement with the credit card companies. I won't return. read more

If you enjoy being served Ice Cream by people wearing dirty cloths and wishing they were elsewhere then this is the place for you! If you prefer service and a smile along with your Ice Cream go anywhere but here! read more

The nicest people and the best Carvel ice cream anywhere! We are regular customers and have ordered many specialty cakes which are always a big hit. Cannot wait for our next Carvel treat! read more

Loveeeee Carvel! The place gives off a homely vibe. Nice and clean as well. Employees that are efficient and friendly

Just bought a fudgy the whale cake only one size and paid almost $10 bucks higher than Stratford or Bridgeport called asking why so much higher, one reason I was given is because it's Westport..... for this price I'd better lose weight for eating it I guess it's true zip codes do matter!! read more

People that work here are SO rude. Made getting an ice cream with my 2 kids in enjoyable. SO expensive, they give you nothing for it. AWFUL. Do yourself a favor and go to DQ down the road or any other ice cream place in town!!! read more

before stew leonards in norwalk opened, this was the only place to go for soft serve worth eating around here. its still great frozen liquid sweetness, is wednesday still sunday? every time i go here there are little kids dripping chocolate ice cream all over themselves and loving it. i wish i could eat ice cream like that again. rIp tom. read more

Just like I remembered this place as a kid. My dad took me here after little league games. Soft ice cream cones, chocolate dipped cones, huge milk shakes. Was back in Westport for a 50th high school reunion and was really pleased to see this place still there. With change happening at record speed these days it's refreshing to see some things never change. Thank you Carvels, loved your place, never change read more

Still tastes exactly the same. Vanilla soft serve with crunchies is it.

Is there anyway to give zero stars? What rude owners....and their children are just as bad. Why would you charge 7 dollars for ice cream and cheat people out of the serving size? I was so frustrated for the third time with an undersized serving that I asked them to weigh it, sure enough not what was advertised. Instead of making it up, they argued that their machines dont' put air in ice cream.....JUST PUT MORE FRIGGIN ice cream in the cup. Lost a customer for ever......DO yourself a favor, go down to Milkcraft in Fairfield. read more

Very happy this Carvel is still here. Went to get birthday cake at one in Fairfield and founjd out it has closed. Not too much of a selection of cakes at this one though. Since I had to have one for a b'day party, though, I bought what they had. Wish there was a better selection. read more

I called in advance and the person assured me a certain cake would be in the store the next day. When I went in, it was not, and the owner was very rude. With great shops like Saugatuck Sweets in town, there's no need to visit this dingy ice cream store. read more
