“UnMAtched Soft Serve“

“Five stars because I’m a Ralph’s addict and it’s a nostalgic place for me now.ServiceHigh school kids need weekend and summer jobs. The service is more than acceptable. I wish the Ralph’s mascot would make an appearance here though. I’ve always wanted to see a lemon with a top hat in real life.FlavorsIn a good way, this place is a mess. The flavors are plastered everywhere in long lists. New flavors are randomly placed on pieces of paper on the windows. It’s confusing and daunting to pick a flavor but it works for Ralph’s. The cream ices have a good amount of chunks in them, depending on the flavor. I like anything with peanut butter or chocolate chunks in it. Water ices are flavorful. The Ralphie smoothies are incredible too. Big fan of the triple chocolate Ralphie.PriceIt probably costs as much as ice cream but i it’s less expensive than gelato. Ralph’s is an expensive addiction.Recommend?You should try it.“

“This was our first time at Mickey’s! We absolutely loved it and will be back again soon! There were so many great flavors to choose from! The Cookie Monster ice cream is awesome and a huge hit for our son! Everything was great! I highly recommend Mickey’s!“

“Love the flavor selection and the waffle cone chips are the bomb! I get mine to go in a cup and use them instead of a spoon! 😋 My son raves about the campfire smores flavor! 🔥 🍫“

“Unique and fun experience! Delicious ice cream and friendly workers! Will definitely be back!! Coram location“

“Very tasty ices, fun flavours, definitely NOT naturally flavoured, however, these ices were WAY better tasting than big chain places . The LICORICE flavour was AWESOME with tiny bits of black licorice in it. The building facade has a fun energy to it; the garbage can looks like a massive ice cream cone.“

“I ordered a custom cake for my brothers 16th birthday and it was amazing ! The woman who helped me was so friendly , and honest. When I told her I wanted black icing, she advised that black is difficult because it needs a bunch of different food coloring and doesn't taste good, so we ended up going with red. She really took her time to make sure we were on the same page and had everything correct. I was worried the picture would look tacky or blurry because its printed but it looked like it was drawn right on the cake. Definitely recommend this service !“

“Jigsy loved her dog ice cream! Seriously amazing! Pistachio and chocolate peanut are amazing!“

“The staff is extremely friendly and understanding of my handicap!

Wheelchair accessibility: I'm a handicapped, plus sized individual and my love handles didn't even graze the doorway! Phenomenal doorway width and my cake for the nursing home party was perfect!“

“I have to share an incredible story with you.. It’s long so please hang in there. One of my children had their tonsils out last Wednesday. I’m sure when this happens as a child it must be horrible, I know growing up so many of my friends had their tonsils out, but I was completely unprepared for how healing would be for my child who is an adult. The recovery has been so much more than any of us anticipated. For their recovery I was asked if I would bring up Blue Hawaii ice from Ralph’s. Off to the store we went, purchased a few half gallons and brought it on the trip with us as we met up with our child the day of surgery. 24 hours after surgery my baby was a mess, the pain was horrible, and the only thing helping was blue Hawaii ice from Ralph’s! I called the store and asked if there was a way to ship the ice to my child. The gentleman on the phone, who I now know as the owner of both the Selden Ralph’s and the Farmingville Locations immediately started to explain to me how we may be able to make that work. The next morning, after my child had already gone through a half gallon, I realized I had to try. When I called that day Pat took charge, not only did he do the research for what I needed, he got it all together for me. He even went so far as to tell me that if he couldn’t figure it out he would be willing to drive the 2.5-3 hours to bring it to them. (Let me add in my other child who is on the island with me was just diagnosed with a concussion, and needed me home so I was unable to be with my child who was recovering from surgery 😭) Pat went to UPS for me and picked up the right size box and the packaging I needed. Then he went on to get dry ice to make sure Blue Hawaii would survive the trip. While the local dry ice place wasn’t so kind, he then drove to Bay Shore to another reliable source who helped. (This was now taking up a ton of this mans time, a decision he made to help me to help my child feel better at no additional charge or perks for him. Without his help I would have never been able to figure this out or get it out that day) He packed the order and I had a friend meet up with him who would then take it to UPS for me to ship it out. So off the ice went on its journey. And it arrived 100% prefect to my child the next day. Yesterday I finally had the chance to meet the man who cared enough to go above and beyond for my family. He didn’t have to do this, there was nothing in it for him, he even gave her extra ice, and I honestly believe he would have taken the drive himself. I went back in to purchase yet another gallon and a half for my child who has not spoken since the surgery but when I FaceTimed them from his store yesterday they did so to thank this wonderful man blue tongue and all 😂. As I am now sitting on the ferry reflecting I needed to share this story with all of you. I am a big believer in being there for one another and what a random act of kindness can do and the impact it can have. This man could have just left it, he could have told me how to do it, and I could have attempted to stumble through while caring for my other child recovering at home yet he went the extra mile for my family. We already were huge fans of Ralph’s but they will now be our one and only stop. I hope if you have never given them a shot you will <3 and my child’s suggestion of course is try Blue Hawaii! I can’t wait to bring her more ice today!“

“I did a take out order at the East Islip location. The food was good but the super melts do not seem to have much meat on them like they use to. If the prices are going up with less portions that’s going to be a problem for Friendly’s. I would hate to see them go out of business because I love Friendlys too!!“

“good burger. clean. friendly. nobody annoyed me. that's a miracle“

“Loved this place! Very unique ice creams and eager-to-please service. Can't wait to go back again.“

“Delicious and the best toppings!!! Always a special time with my granddaughter!🍨“

“My favorite ice cream on Long Island“

“Great place for Ice treats“

“Delicious breakfast, I really enjoyed it.“

“This is one of my favorite Ice Cream parlors on Long Island. They make their own Ice Cream in-house and the prices are fair. In the summer, the lines for service can be long. But there’s a reason for that. Give them a shot of you’re in the area. You won’t be disappointed.“

“I absolutely love swirls and twirls. I come here every week and their prices are so reasonable. So many flavors and toppings to choose from. My favorite part is how clean everything thing is and how lovely the staff is. I would definitely recommend!“

“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“

“Excellent ice cream as always but a little pricey Nothing is changed but the price“

“their birthday cake ice cream is amazing !!“

“I always see bad reviews about my guy but I have to throw credit always when it’s due being a business owner.

I have been coming here since I was a little kid. I know come here all the time as an adult. I walk in, he knows my exact order no questions asked. Always a clean environment, and is always friendly towards myself and my wife.

Easily the best acai bowl in Suffolk county and we’ve been to a wide range of locations for them.“

“it is a carvel that gets a great bit of traffic so everything is always nice and fresh.“

“I stopped in for ice cream, and my card kept getting declined, despite there being plenty of money on it. I kept asking the girls to scan the card at the top of the POS machine, and they kept telling me they cannot scan the card until the card was entered into the machine three times. I have never encountered this before.I really think there is a mistake, because the scan option was implemented to protect consumers from having to enter or swipe their cards at a POS machine. I never scan my card at retail establishments anymore; I always scan my card at the top of the machine, and my payment is always accepted. I am never told I need to enter my card three times before scanning.It ends up some lovely woman paid for my ice cream anyway, which I am highly appreciative of.“

“I love the vanilla ice cream sundae with hot fudge strawberries walnut whipped cream and cherry �“

“Service was quick and efficient. We called them a half hour before they were going to close, and they did 2 large pies for us for a pick-up order.
I'm a NYC pizza guy, and this might be the best pizza on LI. It will give any NYC pizza a run for its money.
I was in the area because my sister in law lives down the block. We will be back every time the family gets together in Port Jeff.
We will try some of their dinners next time, but the pizza gets 4 stars, for sure.

Thank you Colosseo!“

“There’s nothing like a Ralph’s Italian ice to satisfy that craving. The problem is that there are too many flavors to choose from and they all are soooooo goood.“

“my husband and I went there yesterday the food was amazing the staff was so respectful and friendly The Establishment was spotless we actually got to meet the owner Sylvie what a wonderful woman I recommend this place to everyone if you haven't seen it haven't been there go check it out you won't be disappointed“

“Picked up my Grandsons ice cream cake with a Minecraft picture on it. I ordered half of the sheet cake just vanilla no cookie crunchies that’s what my grandson loves!!The other half regular chocolate and vanilla with the chocolate cookies crunchies!! They nailed it!! My Grandson was thrilled!“

“This place is a hidden gem! Lovely family-owned business with an amazing selection and outstanding customer service! I love that the boxes come with so many more bars than you get in the supermarket!! Plus, you can find items here that you never see in the supermarkets!!“

“A very charming shop. In town for work and decided to go for a treat. Banana cream ice and peanut butter and jelly ice were the best I’ve had. I’m a stickler with banana flavored items and it is most definitely made with fresh bananas without any artificial flavors or colors. The owner was very pleasant and answered all of our questions. Highly recommend to anyone in town or passing through! Bring cash-it’s absolutely worth it!“

“I just started coming here but i recommend it!!! It’s 10/10 for everything. You have to get the Cookie Butter latte 🍪 it’s to die for and their Paratha Roll is really good too the flavors pair up well. It’s become my new study place it’s just a nice place to relax and do some work in or chat with friends😌“

“We just celebrated my son’s 4th birthday today and he’s obsessed with fish. I ordered a Fudgey The Whale cake and they asked what color I’d like the writing and I said “could you make it orange? That’s his favorite color. And can you maybe do a little fish on it? He’s obsessed with a certain orange fish.” ? The woman I spoke to said they could do that, and then she said, do you want me to make the entire cake an orange fish? I didn’t even realize they could do that. My kid went ape sh*t! He loved it!! It looked so amazing. The person I spoke to was so kind and helpful, she offered suggestions to make it even more special. And the price of the cake was so reasonable. Highly recommend this location.“

“A great ice cream ?? parlor that's open year round nice service smells good and they have every flavor you want..So many stores are limited Carvel has what other stores don't..Plus the prices aren't that bad considering how often do we really go for ice cream. The shopping center this Carvel is in is also very busy has lots of stores.“

“We love this place. This is located in Port Jefferson. Parking might be difficult if it is a weekend. I have tried cotton candy, birthday cake, vanilla and road. All of them are very tasty. Friendly staff. If you have a kid always go for a cup as they put big scoop of ice cream. Highly recommending this place.“

“The staff seemed reluctant to understand who was paying and was surprised that I wanted to make an order for myself as well... Just very cold personalities like robots. Not friendly or inviting, more like they did not like us or looked at us like second rate citizens.There is no need to profile or judge anyone because of the way they dress or by what they drive. I had lots of cash, but do not look at me as if I do not belong.If this is the case, close your shop. I am a paying customer and deserve to be treated with Respect!“

“Nick at Cold Stone Creamery provided exceptional service! He was friendly, patient, and made sure our ice cream creations were perfect. His attention to detail and positive attitude made the visit even better. Highly recommend stopping by if Nick is there—you won’t be disappointed“

“I love kilwins fudge best ever“

“My sons and I came here for the first time today and we were pleasantly surprised with how creamy and delicious the frozen yogurt is. I had the triple chocolate, my older son had the cookies and cream, and my younger son had a mix of cotton candy and peanut butter. There are a wide variety of options, and I appreciate the clearly labeled alerts to meet people’s dietary restrictions (soy, non-dairy, gluten free, etc). We can’t wait to come back for more!“

“Great place! Their açaí bowls are delicious�“

“My daughter, granddaughter and I went there for an early dinner. Our server Joanne and the food made our experience really nice. Thank you very much.“

“This is not the first time I have stopped for ice cream at this Carvel. I tried a strawberry thick shake and it was very good. I think the next time I'll have them add some strawberries to the shake. The person behind the counter was very nice. I'll be back for more.“

“Love this Yogomania! All the teens/young adults working here are super nice, always respectful and helpful! My daughters and i stop by during the week so we are familiar with a few faces. I see another review bashing them for being young but I can’t relate. I’ve actually walked in on grown adults screaming at them for stupid little things like not enough bananas in a bowl or another time because an customer expected them to read his mind and give him a specific container. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. Keep up the good work Yogomania! You guys are awesome ?“
