“Honestly one of yummiest ice creams I have had in a long time ! I had the Belgian chocolate and being a discerning choc lover I was surprised at how much this exceeded my expectations. I liked the texture of the ice cream and it was just enough chocolate for my sweet tooth . Best part was the very friendly service . Sachin was very kind and warm. Always nice to get service with a warm smile . Keep it up ! I will definitely be back on my next visit to New Jersey“

“My family and I stopped here when we were looking for a bakery in the area. The food is delicious! I highly recommend Panna Gelateria and I would definitely come back.“

“Delicious ice cream! Unique flavors, done well. I have a severe nut allergy and most ice cream places act like it's a hassle when I ask them to take extra precautions but Melba is the exception, they made me feel so safe and went out of there way to pull my flavors from the back, all while assuring me it was no trouble. 100% can't wait to stop back in.“

“Went here for the first time today and they were locking the door but we're kind enough to let us in. We tried jersey shore flavor and it tasted homemade. The ice cream was soft and creamy, not at all icy. The Carmel tasted home made and not out of a jar. They are open even though it looks closed when you drive buy. Clean and neat. Much better Ice cream than the one by Trenton market“

“We don't often go to the S Olden Ave location but we were pleasantly surprised with the top notch service we received tonight. The two young ladies working there tonight were both very pleasant and friendly, seemed generally interested in providing great service and did a delicious job making our sundaes. We've had less then good service at other local Carvel locations. Very glad we tried going there again.“

“Stopped here randomly and so glad we did. Guy could see we were struggling making a decision and offered some guidance. He gave really great advice on what to try. The seasonal pumpkin pie was definitely delicious and such a good recommendation. The Royal Blizzard was also an awesome choice. He put so much topping in. I was so happy. Highly recommend.“

“I love Rita's.They have the best assortment of flavored ice. The gelatis are outstanding. And misto's that you can mix diff. ices together with the custard. Please bring back the icecream cakes. We had one & it was the best ever! Thank you very much. Oh yes, when will the be open til 10pm?“

“Great ice cream and atmosphere“

“We were looking for a cake for the birthday for our son and this place came recommended by multiple friends. The look of the store is very much like an ice cream place but Carvel ice cakes were truly amazing. If you preorder or come on the day you need cake you cannot go wrong. Kids and adults were impressed. The only challenge is you need to have fridge storage available as big as the cake for a few hours.“

“Ok this place has the greatest ice in america! Everything tastes great! The employees I swear to god have some great manners and now how to get the job done. The make the ice cream fast but no mistakes what so ever! So when you come here to visit make sure you enjoy while it lasts cause it sure is a treat!“

“Amazing customer service along with delicious froyo! I thought I left my bag at the outdoor benches next to the store and the manager, Lauren, checked the cameras and said I indeed did leave with my bag. It was such a relief that I didn’t lose it and I ended up tracking down my bag after that. Thanks so much for your help!“

“Such a great Rita’s. They have a wonderful selection of flavors, with more variety in both ice flavors and custard flavors than the average Rita’s. The service is also very good: friendly and timely. There wasn’t too much of a line when I went, so it was very quick.“

“What a truly wonderful experience it was coming here. This nice young lady that works there was very polite. There was a bit of traffic building up in there behind me, but she was very patient with me as I surely took quite a while to order a few things for my family members. Everything was clean, and freshly organized. She even made sure to reassure me that the utensils were all cleaned properly because I tend to get a bit skeptical due to the possibility of cross contamination. The ice cream quality was great! Much better than most other places in this area. I never asked for that young lady’s name but she wore a lot of bracelets, and had black nails just like my daughter, which I complemented! I will be back in here for sure!

Will recommend this place for all ice cream lovers!“

“The mini cookies are definitely my favorite.

Kid-friendliness: I recently ordered a 12 pack of mini cookies and they were perfect for my little sisters. It’s the right amount for them and they also get to try more then one flavor.“

“Yardville Carvel is a go to spot for my girlfriend and I who has diary allergies. It is so refreshing for an establishment to have diary free/vegan sorbets that are not only delicious but safe for her to eat. We will continue to come here time and time again!“

“I want to give a huge shout-out to Liz for her kindness and helpfulness when I had concerns about gluten-free products for my daughter. She took the time to answer all my questions and made me feel at ease. Thank you, Liz, for your support—it really means a lot!“

“Beating the summer heat can be tough, but a visit to Rita's Italian Ice & Custard always hits the spot!😀 Even on a scorching hot day, their treats provided the perfect chill..., and the seating area next to the building is the perfect spot to enjoy them.“

“good stuff and clean store“

“I frequent this Rita’s often. Today 6/15/22 I received my order total and I realized it was much more than usual. I asked was there a price change recently. I was told there was a $1 charge for sprinkles!!! This new pricing is not posted on their current menu. Patrons should not be charged for this until it’s visibly posted on the menu.“

“I have had several frozen yogurt flavors. They were all delicious. On occasion, I order a smoothie which also is terrific. The staff at Fruity Yogurt are friendly, courteous, and professional. The atmosphere is bright and cheerful and the store is always meticulously clean. A great place to go in Princeton.“

“Ice cream was good and the people working were super friendly. I am mainly writing this to sincerely thank the young man working Feb 4 who chased me down after I left my wallet. I had an early flight the next day and would have been stuck!!“

“Awesome!!!!!! Thank you very much“

“The best ice cream ever! Try a blend-in— my go to is vanilla with Butterfinger! They have a ton of different flavors and toppings. They even have dairy free if you are allergic like my son is!“

“Sinceramente, la mejor tortilla de harina que he comido en trenton, personal muy amable, el restaurante es pequeño, pero el sabor es grande, usualmente los tacos de azada son muy buenos ya que la calidad de la carne es muy buena, los helados y granizadas son muy buenos, todo a un buen precio. Sugiero siempre llamar para ordenar ya que tienen muy poco personal.“

“Thank you to CJ! He helped this Texas mom make sure her college freshman daughter received her cookies Door dash left the cookies at a random location. CJ then rebaked, drove and hand delivered to make sure my daughter had her cookies.
The next day a student found my daughter and said she found the door dashed cookies and felt bad my daughter didn’t get them so she ordered some cookies and hand delivered them to my daughter. Thank you CJ and the girl who showed kindness ♥️“

“This place has a nice selection of vegan cookies, plus they don’t charge for plant milk. The cookies are artisanal. One sad thing: this place will be closing at the end of this month (June 29, 2025); so make sure to come by here before then. Updated from previous review on 2025-06-26“

“This pizza place is located in downtown Trenton. It's one of the few restaurants left there. They are pretty decent pizza and you can usually get a special of a soda and a slice. The service is really good and they will help you if you need assistance. The pizzeria is wheelchair-accessible they have a slight little bump in the front.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is pretty flat and wheelchair accessible. The counters are a tad bit high“

“MY FAVORITE PLACE EVER! 😁“
