The shop itself has a fun, nostalgic vibe--definitely a cute neighborhood spot with plenty of parking right in front (a huge plus). They've got a massive selection of flavors for both Italian ice and regular ice cream, so I'm already planning to go back and try more. Perfect for a summer treat or just whenever you're in the mood to "feel like a kid again." Highly recommend!

I'd have to say their ice cream is a bit less sweet comparatively than others but it's still good. Definitely a nice after dinner spot as the place got busy quick.

Craved some frozen yogurt and came across this place via Yelp search..I thought it would be a fun…read moreexperience for my 5 year old who's never served frozen yogurt himself PLUS a choice of toppings. Initial thought of the place- bright and small. Not inviting people to stay with only two metal tables and 4 chairs at each table. Ice cream flavors were "meh" at most. Typical chocolate, vanilla, twist, coconut, cookies n cream, pistachio, and some pumpkin flavors for the season. Two kids "working" at the register - both on their phones with AirPods in. I wasn't sure if we served ourselves with the toppings since some of it I had to reach my hand further back to try and grab. Surprised I even needed anybody there to assist me with payment. Ice cream itself was mediocre. Frozen yogurt was whatever and not as creamy as I normally would've like it. Melted way too fast (maybe cuz it was toward the end of the night)? I wish I took a picture of everything but between two ice cream cups, coming out to $15, definitely wasn't worth the drive or the price.

The place doesn't look as inviting as the name makes it seem but nonetheless the smoothie we…read moreordered was good. Both people working were friendly and they made our order pretty quick. We needed a quick protein drink after our workout and this was the first suggested place.

Great selection of gelato flavors!…read more Next to Starbucks and Kura Sushi, La Favorita is an excellent choice for dessert. There are many selections including dubai chocolate to choose from. There are also additional candy, snacks and drinks available. One gripe is some of the gelato flavors is filled to the brim with ingredients, and so the ratio of the gelato is off, leaving you with less of the gelato in your spoonful. There is no seating in this location, but there are public seating in the mall right outside the shops doors. Good flavors and helpful service makes this a destination to try for an meal treat.

MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = As expected, busssssy on a Saturday evening at the mall. Constant foot traffic inside of this little gelato shop. = No tables or chairs inside, but there are tables set up outside of it.

The employee who assisted us was very friendly, excellent at her job and even while we sat to eat our delicious gelato, I watched her come out from behind the counter and straighten up the shop. She tidied and arranged the chocolate bars, fixed anything that was crooked and really showed that she cares about her shop. The gelato she prepared for us was so good - dark chocolate, hazelnut, pistachio. We tasted a few others, but combined those 3 into a large cup. They sell other confections here, coffee and have many varieties of medium chocolate bars. Ugh. This place is so delicious.

If you manage to get a spot and make it inside, they do have a good variety. I picked up a birthday cake, which said it served four, but it was still pretty big. I wish they had one half the size. I noticed a sign for a special on Wednesdays, where you can BOGO free on sundaes so I might come back and check that out. I'd still deal with this parking lot because this is the closest Carvel to me.

For sugar free they were both flavorful enough without the sugar. (Cherry is also available as a non-sugar free option.) I ordered a small with both these flavors and custard on top. When you order with the custard they typically put a layer of custard on the bottom too but I didn't want that much (another customer that came in after me ordered the same way). I really enjoyed the custard! The Italian ices are more like a slushie. It's definitely a refreshing option on a hot day. (The only pain about the location is that you can't turn left out of any of the driveways so it was a pain trying to get back to 17.)

While driving around our neighborhood, we caught sight of this new yogurt spot and ducked in to…read moregive it a try. The space is small but cheerful, and the menu has a lot going for it. The namesake yogurt drinks are front and center, but there are bingsoo versions (based on the Korean shaved ice dessert) and delectable looking desserts on the menu. For those new to yogurt drinks or the Hey Yogurt chain, I can approximate descriptions of the taste by comparing it to kefir or fruity yogurt, but this is truly its own thing - tart, tangy, and luscious. After my first sip (and the four more that I compulsively took after that, because it's pretty addictive), I found myself telling my husband, "It's such a happy tasting drink." There's some level of customization available. For instance, the strawberry yogurt drink we got was at half sweetness and there was an option to add more strawberries for an added surcharge. The half sweetness level was best for us, but the hardest part about coming here for the first time is trying to figure out what your version of a perfect drink might be. There are a few narrow benches around the perimeter of the lobby space, which are probably a better fit for waiting and/or having a beverage than for having a full on dessert. A posted sign recommended bingsoo customers eating their desserts immediately for optimal flavor, but there aren't any tables to comfortably sit and enjoy. That said, the people are incredibly nice. While my husband and I enjoyed our drink, the guy at the counter overheard us chatting about the desserts and offered to show us some of their selections. This is Main Street on Hackensack, so the ease of finding parking will be subject to however many (paid) street parking spots are available (and I usually have to drive around at least a few minutes before finding one).
