“Brown butter cookie dough is a must.“

“This 16 Handles location is always a great experience! The store is spotless, and the friendly staff create such a warm, welcoming environment-especially with kids. I really appreciate how clearly everything is labeled, from which toppings are kosher to what allergens are present, making it easy to eat here with confidence. Highly recommend!“

“I teach at the local high school and we recently had Ralph’s cater our Junior Prom. They only required a few days advanced notice and provided a great price. Drop off and pick up was excellent; I had forgotten to ask for spoons and they went and picked them up for me!

In prior years, we’d paid 4x as much for an ice cream truck, but the kids liked the Ralph’s way more. They are great for individual orders but are also great for catering; give them a try!“

“Ordered a cappuccino blast and a mini cone cake. Both were amazing. The drink was very refreshing and not overwhelmingly sweet or heavy. The cake I got cookie dough and cookies and cream. My friends and family loved it.

“The Dubai chocolate brownie probably one of the best we had from crumbles. Pink sugar/red velvet was also great. My son crazy for crumble cookies sometimes I took a bites it’s really fulfilling . One time we had a bad experience with delivery the guy really made the cookies disgusting I don’t recommend order this way but for pick up yes. Cookies was fresh and delicious!“

“Tasty ice cream flavors and friendly service. Plus a fun atmosphere overall !!!“

“Among the best dessert on this side of Jamaica. So many options! From Belgian waffles to bubble style, crepes stuffed or glazed donuts, cones, cups, etc to start. Then you get to the ice cream, signature options, my goodness. Absolutely superb. Service was friendly even at midnight and with a long line! The staff was patient, attentive and seem like they enjoy what they do. The spot itself is very clean, limited seating but what you would expect at a dessert spot. You would not be disappointed.“

“Clean location, simple to read menu, and amazing service“

“There is not much that differentiates one carvel from another product-wise. However, the awesome customer service and friendly staff is what makes this one shine. We have a peanut allergy in the family and have never had an issue either.They also do a phenomenal job decorating cakes. 10/10 would recommend :)“

“I always purchased churros for my brother from here and I had to try the milkshakes! I've had 2 this week and they were delicious!! (S'mores and Brownie Milkshake) There's so many flavor combos to choose from. The young lady who works there is always friendly and the place is spotless. She's a master at that milkshake machine. I blinked and it was ready. Definitely a hidden gem here in Larchmont. My co workers at Larchmont Public Library are definitely going to give this place a try after being super jealous of me walking in w my mixed enerJy shake. ????

Kid-friendliness: It's a safe environment for kids to hangout and grab a milkshake or Boba tea. Always clean with tables and chairs inside or outside (summer always)“

“delicious shaved ice, portion size, swag and value for the price. also a plus that it's located in a cute spot in sea cliff. you need to check this place out when open. only draw back is that it's a little slow to get things made. but it's worth the wait on a summer day.“

“Gino was patient and took the time to explain to us all the different packages, in preparation for our wedding. After learning that my fiancé and I are both first responders, Gino extended his support and professionalism to us even more so! We are both looking forward to having him cater the dessert portion of our wedding, in addition to creating an unforgettable experience! Dolce and Gelato is the way to go!! Bravissimi!“

“I love this spot. They have every variation of liquid and popping pearls you could think of and it all tastes great. My family's had the rolled ice cream and loved it. Sometimes they'll offer cute stickers and they even have a rewards punch card.“

“Best carvel ice cream shop 🍦 in the area. I was just there today. I have been going there since I was a kid. Ice cream is always good and fresh and they offer a big selection. The staff is always so nice and helpful too.“

They offer a wide variety of flavors, from classic favorites to unique and seasonal creations. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and creamy, and the portions are generous.

“I have been looking for a Soft Serve Ice Cream spot near me for years, finally one has opened, Thank God! They were very nice and accomadating. They give huge portions which is awesome. The place was clean and organized. Everyone was polite and did not skimp on the brownies on my Sundae, again they have awesome portions. This will be my go to soft serve ice cream.“

“Located in Tangram mall, this Matcha Cafe Maiko location is a great stop for a sweet treat. They have a couple kiosks where you can order at, and service is relatively quick considering how popular it can get.

They have a variety of matcha and other Asian drinks and cold desserts. Every month, they also have specialty flavors. When I went, I got their matcha and lychee parfait while my friend got their matcha soft serve. The parfait had so many different kinds of toppings and the portion was generous. Love their soft serve and I will definitely be coming back. (Their quality is also pretty consistent across locations!)“

“The Best Ice Cream around! The store is always clean and the staff is very friendly!“

“The service is exceptional - when choosing ice cream cakes, always willing to provide advice and take the time to personalize and make each one special. The ice cream cakes are freshly made here and by far the best. Ice cream and shakes are also great at this location. Finally, the equipment is well maintained and sanitary. Carvel does one thing - ice cream - and at Webster Ave it is done right!“

“Very good. I has an Italian Ice“

“we LOVE this place!! the frozen yougart is delicious and not sour, Toppings can't be beat and the atmosphere is very child friendly.“

“Highly recommended shop! I’m new to the North Shore and have been looking for a non-chain local coffee shop in the area. CoCo was recommended to me by a friend who raved about them and it does not disappoint. Terrence does not miss a single detail- from the quality of the coffee—to the matcha powder—to the innovative drink menu- to the hand-painted made in-house delicious chocolate truffles that fly off the shelves daily- to the warm and welcoming hip vibe that makes you feel like you’re sitting in a coffee shop in Greenwich Village. It’s also refreshing to see them support other small businesses in the area with an array of baked goods from St Rocco’s made especially for this store to fantastic local donuts. Great gift boxes filled with these heavenly chocolate bites are also available around the holidays. Easily one of my favorite gems I’ve discovered in the area so far (and yes, they blow away Karmic Grind).“

“Immaculate frozen yogurt store and friendly staff. They’re following strict Covid protocols. Great tasting yogurt too! 🍦“

“Best place ever to buy your ices or ice cream, if you want to host a party and afraid of serving ice cream because is going to melt, no worries they will take care you, they help you with dry ice, and they will teach you how to handle it.
The employees, the best people, very friendly and caring for customers.“

“Stopped by Ralph’s Ices in Mineola and ordered the passion fruit ice , it was incredibly refreshing, flavorful, and hit the spot on a warm day. The cashiers at the front were genuinely kind and welcoming, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. You can tell they care about the service just as much as the product. With so many flavors to choose from and such a friendly vibe, this place is definitely worth a visit. Can’t wait to come back and try something new!“

“I come here at least once a week and everytime I try a new flavor from the assortment of flavors in their store. The workers there are very ecstatic and always ask about my day. Great ice cream with different toppings. Everyone who gave a bad review is mid and obviously wrote their bad review on the wrong store. Keep up the great work!“

“I had a wonderful experience at Carvel thanks to the outstanding team working there. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with warmth and enthusiasm. One employee helped me choose the perfect dessert with great recommendations, another prepared my order with care and attention to detail, and a third kept everything running smoothly with a friendly attitude that made the visit even better.

Their teamwork, positivity, and commitment to quality made my visit truly special. If you're looking for great service and delicious ice cream, this Carvel team delivers!“

“Best purchase i’ve ever made. I always come to this ralph because staff is friendly,recently saw the famous dubai chocolate ice cream was released and i am OBSESSED.

“Childhood ice cream spot that still delivers.
Haagen-Dazs of Great Neck has been around forever—and it’s still a go-to for a reason. 🍦

Open late 🌙, packed with every flavor imaginable 🍫🍓🍪, and always delivering top-tier scoops.

A Great Neck classic—you really can’t go wrong. ✅“
