“Today was our second time getting take out, ordered two different dishes and both were excellent as were the two we got a week ago. They "get it" when it comes to balanced flavor, variety of veggies and even the way they cut them with a special slicer was perfect. Truly Thai is now our go-to Thai food destination. I hope it doesn't change and they keep up this quality.“

“could not recommend more. excellent variety of flavors, including vegan / dairy free. Idk how they make it but this is truly the best ice cream I've ever had in my 30 years of life. Sizes are generous and they have been careful with allergies while serving my family.“

“100000/10 the only crepe place I will ever go to no matter how far I have to drive!!! Perfect place for ice cream and crepes!! Have tried a few of their crepes and they’re all always so amazing! Ice cream is super creamy and such a good combo with the hot crepe. Also tried their Dubai strawberry cup and honestly it’s one of the best ones I’ve gotten and fairly priced for the cup they give! Everybody else makes it so expensive and such a small cup but this place is reasonably and affordable priced in my opinion. The workers are extremely kind and patient no matter how busy they are!“

“Been a while since I've seen a Tom Carvel ad (I suspect he's dipping cones in hot fudge in the heaven location now), and maybe 15+ years since I've enjoyed the custard at Carvel. Have done lotsa DQing. It's okay. And I think the dense, dense thick custard at Rita's may be a richer take on the confection. But Tom's custard was great on a hot late summer day.“

“Great ices and friendly service. I've been hooked since they opened in Hazlet.“

“The Italian Ices are amazing, so good lots of different flavors and even sell pints, great value, wonderful people can’t wait to get them again.“

“I have been eating tofutti cream cheese and sour cream for years. They are the closest and most delicious plant based options for both. I also use them in cooking and they melt well and still retain their flavors and consistency. Absolute power houses of versatility. They made going vegan so much easier.“

“Ask for the pumpkin latte ice cream . Not on the menu but available til late fall Sooo good!“

“As another Great season of delicious italian ices from Ralphs comes to an end I would like to speak for all customers when I say that this years customer service was the best in recent years. The staff is made up of high school and college students that were extremely nice. In the many times I visited Ralphs this year, I was greeted by a worker named Bill on multiple occasions. Bill, always wearing his green Yankee baseball cap, was very helpful and outgoing and would usually give me the weekly breakdown on the yankees season which I quickly started to look foward to on my trips to Ralphs. All in all this location is the best by far in Staten Island. Can’t wait for you to be open again!!“

“Just recently found out about crumbl after my neighbor brought over a 6 pack. OH MY GOODNESS!! You have not lived until you have tried a cookie from crumbl! They are to die for! There is always at least one flavor per week that you will absolutely love and devour! The staff is very friendly, the store is so cute and clean, and have i mentioned the cookies are out of this world!?!? Do yourself a favor, go to crumbl!“

“We came to the Englishtown location. So glad we did, my friend got a small banana ice cream in a cup she loved it!! I had a regular size Hot Fudge Sundae. It was perfection!! Wonderful server too. Fast friendly service and prices were very fair. We'll be back!!“

“Best ice cream I’ve ever had!“

“This location can get very busy as expected… but it’s not the employee’s fault. It’s the geniuses that decide to come here thinking they can sample or customize everything along with their 10 kids… that’s what holds the line up

Other than that it’s a solid ice cream spot! Props to the employees dealing with such JO’s“

“Never been, but it was great !! Never had custard - it was so creamy and harder than ice cream !! The service was sweet too !! I’m thrilled to see the buckets 🪣- definitely handing these out to my family and friends ice cream 🍦“

“I've been a Carvel fan my whole life, but the Old Bridge location is truly something special. Every visit feels like a trip down memory lane, but with the added bonus of friendly faces and consistently perfect ice cream.

The staff here are fantastic—always patient, smiling, and happy to help you find the perfect flavor or cake. You can tell they take pride in their work, and it makes the experience so much more enjoyable.

And the ice cream? Oh, the ice cream. It's always fresh, creamy, and exactly what you'd expect from Carvel. Whether it's a classic soft-serve cone with sprinkles, a rich sundae, or one of their famous ice cream cakes, the quality is always top-notch.
This is more than just an ice cream shop; it's a community staple. It's the perfect spot to grab a treat after a long day, celebrate a special occasion, or just enjoy a sweet moment. If you're in Old Bridge and craving ice cream, this is the only place to go. Five stars, without a doubt!“

“Hello! Yesterday, I went to the mall, a rare occurrence, and stopped by to get some food. As you can see in the videos, I ordered a bubble waffle with vanilla ice cream, fruit, Nutella, and whipped cream and a crème brûlée boba milk tea. 🧋 . The bubble waffle was delicious! I’m normally a slow eater, but when I really like something I can’t stop eating it and this is what happened here. The crème brûlée milk tea was also delish, especially the bobas. Overall ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️.“

“great customer service! Just roll up before the gates and run inside with your paperwork. Even if the order is not already picked, they will tell you to back up to door number one, or two, and then they'll pick the order quickly! Very little waiting here! A pleasure!“
