“Best Ralph's around hands down! The owners & staff ROCK!!“

“Great“

“Cold Stone. Absolutely classic. The ice cream itself is much better than a lot of places out here. Lotta different options in terms of toppings and pre made creations. Cones are good too. Was worried this place would be overrated, definitely not the case.“

“Had a great experience at Kilwins! Tanner assisted my friend and I with ice cream and made amazing recommendations. He was friendly professional and made the experience fun! The ice cream is phenomenal! I will be returning due to the experience I had. More money for Tanner!“

“We hired Hostess with the Mostess for our engagement party. I cannot recommend this company enough. We ordered a cheese board that was beautiful and an amazing seafood tower. Every single person was talking about how polite, knowledgeable, and professional the griller and shucker were. We will definitely be using this company for every event.“

“was awesome, 1st time there“

“If you have not tried this place yet - I say RUN there ! The Gelato is absolutely out of this world !!! My husband tried their pistachio , I have never tasted anything remotely as good. My decaffeinated Cappuccino was also very good . 5+++ rating on the Gelato !“

“Ana at Bay Shore Coyle's did an amazing job with our birthday cake. She was very thorough and made sure all the details were right and went above and beyond to make us the cake we wanted. Thanks again Ana for all your help and making this birthday memorable.“

“The two owners Vinny & Nick are wonderful. They truly care about the community and it’s great to see. We fricken love coming here!!!!
Best place ever
If you want to visit a shop that is super clean, this is the place to be“

“As always they went above and beyond making my moms vision come true! When asked what type of wedding cake do I want— 1,000,000% ICE CREAM! Thank you for your beautiful and special touches! ♥️“

“I love everything about this place. The cookies. The atmosphere, the wall with the huge cookie. The people there are extremely nice and I just love watching everyone bake their cookies, and they are very sanitary too!! Cookies are absolutely the best I come here very often. I threw up eating the large Reeces Peanut butter though. It was absolutely bomb but I just can’t take sugar like that.“

“I’m amazed-really great service. Friendly staff. Even though the place was hopping, these servers really did a fantastic job and kept smiles on their faces. Bravo Friendlys!!“

“What a wonderful place to indulge! Jess took very good care of us. Very sweet, personable, and added to our positive experience. We chose a vanilla raspberry chocolate ice cream shake. The best flavored shake we've ever enjoyed! We wound up going back 2 weeks later to enjoy it again. We'll definitely be visiting here again and again.. They have plenty of seating and a bathroom on site for customers. Definitely recommend checking them out!.“

“Love the atmosphere- they have fresh ices and ice cream- possibly too many choices - line moves fast . Staff is friendly and efficient. Store is clean . The sell cute merch too

Dietary restrictions: They have non cream ices which my boyfriend loves“

“If there was an option for ten stars, I'd rate this place ten stars across the board! EVERY time I go to this location in Bay Shore, I'm so impressed on how spotless the whole place is. The one lady & man (he's usually in the back unless a few customers come in) that are always there are so nice. The lady is constantly cleaning up after herself after everything she makes. You can see that they work hard & appreciate the business. They give excellent customer service & I HIGHLY recommend this Carvel!



Parking: Because there are other merchants in the same plaza, parking isn't always so good.“

“Love this place. We always try to stop in when we visit family on the island. Would have given it 5 stars, but they didn't have the flavor that I painstakingly waited 6 months for. You let me down Ralph. My puppy enjoyed his treat though. We'll def be back.“

“Have been going to this location for about 5 years and at least twice a week in peak season. The woman who is always there is the absolute best, I think she is the manager but she is a sweetheart and has the patience of a saint with the crazy customers. She does a beautiful job keeping the location spotless and makes sure my family’s order is handled quickly. Everything we get there is always delicious!“

“My favorite ice cream on Long Island“

“Recently, I came in and placed a large, last-minute order for a catering party that I had forgotten to arrange ahead of time. I ordered several cups of soft serve ice cream and sundaes. From the moment I walked in, the staff were welcoming, upbeat, and ready to help. They handled my order quickly and professionally while keeping a friendly attitude that made the experience easy.
They made sure every cup looked great and were very generous with the toppings not skimping at all. I was impressed that they even waived the charge for one topping because the cup was already filled to the top. Their attention to detail, kindness, and willingness to help turned a rushed situation into a pleasant one. I left feeling relieved and impressed, and my guests loved how everything looked and tasted. Outstanding service!“

“Nowhere else like it. Best ice cream and service you’ll find in the area.“

“Wow! Blown away by service and the tasty gelato- I’ve been on the hunt for over ten years for a gelato even close to what you can get in Europe and this is the best I’ve found!
Dana was so kind especially with my sons. Thanks for a great experience we’ll definitely be back!“

“Fast service“

“Great customer service. Amazing custom cake. 😋“

“This is probably my top 2 favorite ice cream place (my other fave is sugar hill creamery). SO MANY FLAVORS!! Amazing sundaes, the staff has always been incredibly kind, they literally warm up a brownie to crumble on the Sunday without asking (not a great example but you get the point), I absolutely love it here.

Vegetarian options: It’s ice cream lol

Kid-friendliness: Great for kids! Lots of options for the adventurous and the picky.

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps! The door is not automatic, you have to pull it, but there are no steps and it is easy to order from a wheelchair“

“Absolutely loved our visit to Häagen-Dazs! The staff were super friendly and helpful — shoutout to ZIYA for her excellent service! Every item we tried was amazing: the berry smoothie was refreshing, and the sundaes were beautifully made and full of flavor. The whipped cream was perfectly fluffy, the toppings were generous, and everything looked as good as it tasted. Highly recommend stopping by for a sweet treat and great service. We’ll definitely be back! 🍦🍒🍓🍫🍌“

“It’s not just Wednesday is Sundae at Carvel .. any day is great for a Sundae ! Was given a sample cup of the Strawberry Soft Serve because I said I had never had it before .. it was amazing. Had my favorite on this night though .. Chocolate ice cream with Strawberry topping and whipped cream on top. Great service here !“

“As a frequent visitor to TCBY, I can confidently say that each visit continues to exceed expectations with its consistently high-quality offerings, welcoming ambiance, and exceptional service. The frozen yogurt is always luxuriously smooth and perfectly balanced between rich and refreshing, with flavors like white chocolate mousse and birthday cake remaining personal favorites. The toppings bar is thoughtfully curated, offering a wide array of fresh fruit, gourmet sauces, and crunchy mix-ins that allow for endless customization. The staff are consistently courteous, attentive, and efficient, which contributes to the inviting and well-managed atmosphere. TCBY’s commitment to excellence, both in product and service, is why I return time and time again—and why I never hesitate to recommend it to others.“

“My whole family loves Carvel Ice Cream!!! Sundaes on Wednesday’s are a must in our house! And it’s not a real birthday without Carvel ice cream cake! This Carvel Store location in Massapequa Park is our family’s favorite ice cream shop of all time! Best ice cream EVER!!! 👍🏼👍🏼“

“Nice place that needs a lot of improvement in food preparation, cocktails, etc. Everything was just OK, nothing to write home about. An example is serving the burrata ice cold. Huge portions provided a lot of take home! Service was very good. Nothing really special enough to make us want to return.“

“Delicious frozen yogurt!🍦🍨“

“Ralphs Italian Ices are always great. It was on the visit bucket list since my kids have never had them. As always the food was great. The staff, not so much. They seemed bothered by us being there, and both seemed to be having a miserable day. In the end, we got what we went for, spent some time as a family, and enjoyed our snack after a very tough day saying goodbye my mother-in-law.“

“This store is the best of the best I’ve been to many Carvel‘s and this one is courteous help you whatever you need always fills too to the max. They don’t short change you I went to one on you Road cheated me out of three dollars. These are honest people that are hard-working and just always go out of their way to help you“

“The Gelato was delicious! Everyone loved it. Thank you Charlie!!“

“Booked a birthday party. Service very good and so was the ice cream 🍦😊“

“Cheap ice cream 10$ for a quart. Milkshakes are huge and painful but tasty. Not only is it a place you can eat inside and it shouldn't be full. It's a place where you can pick up and go.

Vegetarian options: Ice cream is pretty vegitarian if I do say so myself.

Parking: WAY TOO MANY PARKING SPOTS

Kid-friendliness: What's more friendly than a fricking sugar field day store“

“I have been told Carvel is the best icecream around Long Island and from what I've seen and experienced it really is amazing!
This location has this old school ice cream parlor feel! The staff are very friendly and very professional!
The shop was super clean and well laid out! There was wide selection of cakes, soft serve ice creams and hard ice cream!
When we requested our orders the service was quick and friendly!
I highly recommend getting the Triple Chocolate Brownie hard ice cream!“

“Always happy to go there. Staff is always helpful and nice.“

“My husband and I have been here a few times and its always been a good time. We went a few days ago and the man working greeted us warmly and gave us time to look and decide what we wanted with zero pressure. Our order was accurate and tasted great, just like the few things we picked out from the freezer. This will be our go to for ice cream, it was perfect!“

“The staff is the absolute best - attentive - kind - patient - efficient and downright friendly 😎🤩 The food is the best diner food in Massapequa and all of LI - for sure. THEN THE ICE CREAM IS HOME MADE CREAMY MOUTHWATERING AND UNSTOPPABLE DELICIOUS 🤩🤩🤩🤩 Joel“

“Great place“

“Always a fun time with the kids Ice cream is great Just get shocked when the total $$$$$ comes“

“This is a small place. 2 stools inside to sit on but a bunch of plastic chairs outside, if you don't mind eating 2 feet from the parking lot. The staff was very nice and the ice cream was fantastic (and very well priced). I will definitely be back.“

“They are truly amazing.. I needed at the last minute an ice cream cake for a friend’s birthday and asked them to draw something inappropriate and they did it !! She was confused at first but it came out perfect! Definitely the best carvel!
Can’t post pictures but it was great!“

“This place has great service and great variety. People who claim that the employees are not wearing gloves needs something to do with their lives the employees are not touching the ice with their hands, they use scoops. Complain about something legit.“

“This is one of the better Carvel locations on Long Island but it seems at all the locations they work super slow and there is always a line out the door. At least at this place, the ice cream was of much higher quality than the Copiague Carvel.“

“Would be a 5 but there are no public bathrooms which seems sketchy to me because I thought all dine in establishmentts (they had seating prior to COVID) had to provide bathrooms. Prices compared to portions is insane but that's just the times we live in.“

“Absolutely delicious!!! Great option for individual serving.“
