My favoriteeeeeee ice cream place! Not for Italian ice , I wish they would change the name because…read morethis place how such good homemade ice cream. They also change the flavors around sometimes, so I usually try whatever is new. One of the best tasting ice creams I've had so I won't go anywhere else. The last flavor I tried was churro ice cream with waffle cone crunchies on top. It was delicious! Tasted just like a churro. They have outside seating and welcome your pets :) this is also my dogs favorite ice cream place, she always get a vanilla soft serve with a dog treat on top haha so it's a perfect dog date

I have mixed feelings about this place. The staff is always friendly, and I love both the price and…read morethe portion sizes. I have a big sweet tooth, but I usually only want a few bites and can never finish a whole ice cream, no matter how small the size I order. The serving sizes here are perfect for me, and they're also great for my toddler. That said, some of my favorite flavors have been a bit disappointing. Cookie Monster, which is usually one of my favorites, wasn't great. It had a slightly bitter taste and way too much food coloring. It was extremely blue and stained everything, which wasn't ideal, especially with a little one whose favorite flovor is cookie monster. Overall, I appreciate the friendly service, value, and portion sizes, but I do wish some of the flavors were a little better.

Came here on a Thursday night around 9pm after our show at the NJPAC and was surprised it was busy…read more They have 2 kiosk up front and they offer a variety of drinks, snacks and desserts. My friends and I ordered their toter tots, crispy chicken and chocolate bubble waffles with milk tea ice cream to share and I ordered their jasmine tea with cheese foam. Our order was ready a lot quicker than I had expected. The taiwanese crispy chicken was crispy, juicy and tender as they used chicken thighs for it. It was also well seasoned and tasted authentic. The tater tots were also perfectly fried as it was super crispy and they were sprinkled with the same seasoning as the chicken. The bubble waffle was the biggest surprise for me as I have never found a place that does it right (texture wise). This is the place! The waffle was crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside and the batter wasn't too floury as I have often found in other places. But that could also be because we ordered chocolate flavor so I should try their original next time. My only complaint is it didn't have enough chocolate taste for me. The milk tea ice cream, although wasn't the best I've had but it's decent and you can still taste the tea. My jasmine tea with cheese foam was fragrant and the cheese foam complimented the tea well and didn't make it overly filling. Overall, I really enjoyed everything I've ordered here and it's perfect for a mid day or late night snack and drink. I have been to other locations in the area and thought they're not as good as this one so I will have to come back to this location especially for their bubble waffles.

Came here recommended by a good friend and was not disappointed! I ordered the brown sugar brûlée…read moreand yes! They pull out a torch to create the crispy top layer. The taste was absolutely delicious, such a creative take on boba. You order on a touch screen, with many variations of drinks and foods! They even hold specials for the early birds, very convenient for nearby students. Would come back just for this drink alone!

The best local ice cream place! The owner is a super nice guy, they always stay open late if you…read morecome last minute (make sure you TIP THEM IF YOURE STAYING 10minutes after closing). They work hard, the workers are friendly and attentive. The place is always very clean and clean smelling. One of my favorite ice cream places nearby. They always have premade cups with ice cream in the Fridge as well as the flying saucers. Sometimes they have the strawberry or ores soft serve, so good! Enjoy your ice cream and have a great Time! I know I did!

***** WARNING!!! RACIST LOCATION ******…read more Never going back to this RACIST Carvel again! They told me with my pregnant wife next to me that because I'm white, they have to charge me more. The price tag on this cake as well as all others this size was clearly $12.99. The employee said we can't charge white people those prices. We have to charge them more. And unfortunately, my wife and I were the only white people in the store with Hispanics and blacks. I decided to make sure I lived to see another day and not say anything. I wanted a Carvel cake for my birthday. We usually go to the one in Nutley, but this one is 2 blocks from the house. We went in and picked out a cake. What looked like a black mother and son came in after us. Somehow they were helped by the black employee. No biggie, we were picking a cake. They were still undecided so she came to us. We gave her the cake. She asked what we wanted to write, Happy birthday Richard. She scribbled it on as you can see from the pictures. We asked for a few cups of crunchies, no problem. As she tallied it up, she asked to see the box, she saw the price of $12.99, oh no, you people can't pay tha price, you need to pay $20.99. I showed her the rest of the cakes, yeah no, you pay $20.99. We can't charge white people that price on the sticker, we need to charge you people more. As I said, my pregnant wife and I were the only white people in the store. So we tried pushing it a little, but the employee pushed back hard. And then we paid. She asked if we want a receipt, I said yes please. She said well you ain't getting one, because I don't know how to do it. The other employee came over and did it for her. I took it and left. We are never ever going here again. I hate how stores here are so racist against white people it's disgusting. We are people also! We deserve the same respect as everyone else. I know that right now Black Lives Matter, but here in Newark that means all others don't. Never coming back here again!
