“The service was awesome. The ice cream was also amazing. The place looks great and it makes us feel at home.while we were waiting they gave us popcorn no charge. Definitely try salted caramel and mint chocolate chip.“

“Unexpectedly good little ice cream shop. We stopped in in a whim and were delighted. All the flavors have a very good creamy base with a wonderful texture. My partner committed to the pistachio and I got their 4 scoop sampler with honey lavender, peach cobbler, guava cheesecake, and chocolate chip. They were all amazing, very clearly using real ingredients and no artificial flavorings. The decor was also adorable.“

“The best iced tea ever!Even the diet tea and other drinks are the best!“

“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“

“Ice cream fresh, delicious place is super clean and staff is friendly and helpful ❤️“

“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.“

“Great ice cream and atmosphere“

“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.“

“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“

“Last Dairy Queen in the area. Great icecream and other cold treats. Very friendly staff who have worked there for years! Hurry up and visit before they close for the winter.

Parking: Large free parking lot.

Kid-friendliness: Kids are always welcome.

Wheelchair accessibility: Roll right up to the window and order.“

“*Edited - original review was for a different location, i am so sorry**

Location is great! Staff is friendly and their product is wonderful. Their variety of custard flavors blew me away. Our local location only ever has chocolate and vanilla. High recommended this Ritas!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“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!“

“The best strawberry ice cream I’ve ever had! It was so good and tasted like real strawberries! The line was almost around the block but moved really quickly. Only thing is they don’t offer samples :( so you just gotta commit without knowing what it tastes like. Would definitely come again!“

“This frozen yogurt place has the BEST frozen yogurt, the staff is so kind, prices affordable, and over the BEST experience.
Here’s some stuff middle schoolers want to say:
A.H: It has really really good frozen yogurt and there’s a variety of topping options!!!
A.S: I love how there’s so many toppings and how flavor full the frozen yogurt is!

“(Translated by Google) Excellent service and the food is well worth a visit, and the positive energy you feel is a happy homecoming.(Original)Excelente servicio y la comida pues riquisima vale mucho la pena visitar lleva feliz a casa uno la energía positiva se siente.“

“Team Shake Shack Princeton the best!“

“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.“

“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“

“Great place! Coffee is amazing and their matcha drinks are the best. If you’re ever craving something cold and fresh that’s the place to go’“

“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 ♥️“
