“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.“

“The Fro Yo cafe in Matawan is my happy place. I love the decor and the nostalgic atmosphere. The frozen yogurt is delicious and authentic and the topping bar is always so clean and organized with lots of variety. I especially appreciate that the fresh fruit is consistently high quality. Their attention to detail with customer service is exemplary! It's the little things, like having a plastic rewards card instead of a paper one and the more premium cup and spoon option, that make Fro Yo Cafe such an enjoyable experience. The staff are really accommodating, helpful, and friendly! I recently went in when Sydney and Derek were working and they both made my experience so seamless and positive. Sydney goes the extra mile to assist customers and is clearly very competent at her job. It does not seem like any of these details should matter at a frozen yogurt cafe, but honestly coming to Fro Yo Cafe can be the highlight of my week sometimes. I believe all the intentionality of the staff contributes to that 5 star experience!!! It's Fro Yo Summer!!“

“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!!“

They also offer good selection of ice cream flavors and toppings. They also offer indoor snd outdoor seating. I decided to try the combination of s brownie with a Nutella chocolate chunk cookie & ice flavor of caramel pretzel fudge. It was delicious, with so many possible combinations you really can't go wrong. During summer its a very popular spot so lines tend to build up but they move quickly. Prices are reasonable so it won't break the bank. If you're in the area definitely worth stopping by.“

They acknowledged the mistake, explained the situation, and took full responsibility without making excuses. It’s clear they take hospitality and feedback seriously and want to make things right. We’re willing to give them another try based on how professionally this was handled.“
