“Christine made the most incredible Italian Millefoglie dessert for 180 guests at my daughter’s wedding. It was a beautiful attraction set on on its own table at the reception. Guests raved about its freshness and taste. I highly recommend Stacco House if you are searching for something unique as well as delicious. Christine created a masterpiece with her attention to detail, and her professionalism was extraordinary.”

“Talk about the best snow cones I've ever had! I visited today with my boyfriend for the first time and we just loved it. The kids working, Grace and Evan, were so sweet and professional. They made our experience so nice. The snow cones were wonderful. They're light and fluffy with lots of flavor and they're so pretty. I had the Buttered Beer and the Unicorn Princess, and my boyfriend had the Polynesian (forgot the other part), they were delicious. See you soon!”

6 Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard

110 West Main Street Suite Suite 127, Carmel

• Take-Out
• Delivery

“The owners are wonderful caring people. I have dealt with thousands of companies throughout the United States with my business, and they are by far the most dedicated to customer service I have experienced. Although a little bit of a drive, this location is well worth the service you will receive. We have now moved our business to them and will use them only for all future orders and company orders. We will miss them for a couple of months; they will be closed for winter, but we can always buy a couple of gallons to get us through...LOL If you get a chance and are in the Carmel area, stop by and see what I mean when I say, "Rita's Carmel location is all about CUSTOMER SERVICE done right."”

7 Ice Cream Donuts

• Delivery

“We went to a concert at The Nickel District Amphitheatre in Fishers and I have to say how impressive it was to see the very young girl working this truck take orders, make sales, and deliver food to waiting customers like it was nothing. She sets a fine example for the youth of today. The food was delicious and we went back several times. Worth every penny! Highly Recommend😊”

8 Crumbl

2446 East 146th Street, Carmel

• Take-Out
• Delivery

“I absolutely love Crumbl cookie so much so that we are having them catered for our wedding! I will say though, the manager for this location was quite rude to my fiance and I when we came in to place our 200+ catering order. We ended up working very closely with one of the bakers - so incredible nice - she deserves a promotion in my opinion!”

11 Ben & Jerry's

3.9 Good 45 Reviews

1685 East 116th Street Apt 145, Carmel

• Delivery

“So, there isn't much to say about the taste. Its ben and Jerry's, you know what to expect. That being said, the physical location compared to super market pints offers toppings and a variety of various forms of ice scream like shakes and such that its a fun experience. But the price is what kills this place. For the cost, you could oractocally just go to the grocery store and buy the toppings you want and still gain more than you would in person here at the location. (This the star review). Comparative to the more local ice scream shops, this place is really just a name with the ice cream readily available. Stand was great and hospitable, very engaging. Nothing wrong with them. Just the cost per Oz for the ice cream.”

“We love the options, flavor and experience! 🍦”

13 Cold Stone Creamery

3.7 Good 100 Reviews

14550 Clay Terrace Boulevard Ste 105, Carmel

• Take-Out
• Delivery

“Cold stone has been really hitting the spot recently. Their ice cream is pretty good and the portion sizes feel just right. They have a good selection of flavors and quite a few mixins as well. My personal favorite is the birthday cake remix, but you cant go wrong with just about anything. The wait times can be a little long, especially during the evening and its also a tad expensive. Parking at clay terrace isnt the best either unless you can get a front row spot. Overall its a solid ice cream spot that I'd recommend.”

16 Culver’s

3.8 Good 165 Reviews

431 East Carmel Drive, Carmel

• Delivery

“I genuinely enjoy Culver's food, but ordering it sometimes feels like taking an exam I forgot to study for! 😂 Both the indoor and drive-thru menus are unnecessarily overwhelming, with tiny text, scattered categories, and a Value Basket option that feels like a game of Where's Waldo. The drive-thru doesn't even display all the available options! A more organized layout and some simple numbered combos would make ordering so much easier. I actually tried ordering through the app because it's much easier to navigate, but it wouldn't accept my order about 20 minutes before closing. That reminds me, I wish this location stayed open a little later! Everything I've tried has been delicious, and I'll happily return. Culver's, I love your food, but please make it easier for me to order it! 😅”

“I was wondering why my mobile ordering wasn’t going through, and I realized I made the mistake of selecting the wrong restaurant to pick up from (accidentally selected the 146th St. location). The manager at this location (King) was behind gracious to take my order and put a rush on the prep. Exemplary customer service and definitely will be back many more times in the future!”

18 Dairy Queen Grill & Chill

• Take-Out

• Drive-Through

“Above and beyond service! Today I had a minor medical emergency in the drive thru that resulted in me pulling out of line after ordering and walking up to the drive thru window. The kind staff immediately helped me then brought my food to my car and checked on me until I was well enough to drive on, about a half hour later. I was scared, and the group of young adults who helped me were calm and attentive and made all the difference for me today. Plus, the food was good! I will always support this restaurant from now on!”
