“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!“

“Very nice cookies that taste splendid! However the staff could be a little more enthusiastic (referring to the ones that have worked there for a while, I get it can be tiring to put on a smiley face for each customer that walks in, but you are getting paid to do it and it makes their experience 10x better!). So, there are many new employees who are very welcoming and kind!“

“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!“

“We ordered this custom ice cream cake for our Moana-themed first anniversary celebration, and it exceeded all of our expectations! The most incredible part is that this was a last-minute order placed the day before our event, and they still created something absolutely breathtaking.

The owner’s wife stayed up late into the night pouring so much love, creativity, and heart into decorating this cake, and it truly showed in every detail. The tropical flowers, ocean waves, and Moana topper were beautifully crafted and perfectly matched our celebration.

Not only was the cake gorgeous, but it was also one of the most delicious ice cream cakes we’ve ever had. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about both how beautiful it looked and how amazing it tasted.

We are beyond grateful for the extra effort, care, and dedication they put into making our celebration so special. If you’re looking for a bakery that goes above and beyond and truly cares about its customers, I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you for making our anniversary unforgettable!“

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!“

“Amazing gelato. Highly recommend 🍨 😍🍧 😍“

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

“I recently bought the Earl Grey Tea and Berry Cornbread at my local Kroger store and was blown away! The richness and the flavor profiles were out of this world, especially the latter flavor of the two. It’s dangerous to know the Kroger store is only five minutes from my house. I’ll definitely be trying other flavors.“

“The gelato here tastes AMAZING! The staff is really nice, and you can sample flavors. I ordered the super big size which isn’t big to me with the raspberry cheesecake, Reese’s, and deep chocolate gelatos. They were all delicious, but the deep chocolate was by far the best! The deep chocolate gelato was the best chocolate gelato I’ve ever had thus far! Potions are very small so I recommend ordering the largest size. I highly recommend Chillato in Whitestone!“

“It was my first time going to Ralph's Italian Ices and Ice Cream, and I absolutely loved it. They have a variety of flavors (over 100 of them!), and no matter what you get, whether a twister, sundae, or iceberg, you are always in for a delicious treat. Customer service was great! I will return, for more.“

“Best ice cream I ever had, my freezer is loaded, and I never eat ice cream before, it is better than gelato, try the coffee one, and others. Amazing. Love this LONGFORD ice cream. Z. G.“

“This location has been excellent since my first time arriving here I came from Georgia to visit my mother and she sent me here to get some ice cream and from the first time I met the wonderful staff at this establishment I can't stop coming back! Although I only spent six weeks in New York it was worth my time I came to this location so much in the last 6 weeks I know I must have put on at least 20 extra pounds and it's not the ice cream that I love it's the staff here Samantha is amazing she really knows customer service she really knows how to be hospitable the ice cream is good but it's the people that made it even better. The other extraordinary woman here is a woman by the name of Diana I believe it was. She works in the cinnabon area and you can see her heart and her love in the way that she treats the customers I was sitting there eating ice cream one day and I watched how she just went above and beyond making the customer feel welcomed in this establishment. They have come to know me because I come here buying ice cream for my mother all the time and they even remember and they always ask about her it's beyond just a store it's almost like coming to see friends. Make it your business to stop at this location it is very much worth it the music is always excellent here it always has a great atmosphere.
This store should be a model to all the other Carvel locations out there on how you should treat your customers please utilize the staff to train other locations it will be well worth the time all of the people that are here are leaders and teammates and I've come to really like them and love them.“

“We don’t even know how many times we’ve been here 😂 It’s definitely one of our go-to matcha spots in Flushing! We always get the matcha latte because it’s consistently so good and we never get tired of it. 🍵🤍

We also tried the mango sticky rice drink and the jasmine matcha latte, and both were sooo good! The mango sticky rice drink is such a fun and unique combination, while the jasmine matcha latte has such a nice floral flavor.

Definitely recommend trying them if you’re here! Everything is super refreshing and worth it. We’ll definitely keep coming back! 💚“

“In summer comes I wish to go there so badly“

“i come here after work with my fiance. their palletas are so yummy! i get them every time i visit. i cant wait to eat more of their multiple flavors of palletas and try more items from the menu. very clean place and nice attentive employees“

“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)“

“Really good rolled ice cream. It's really creamy and delicious. Many flavors to choose from. The staff are very nice and helpful. It didn't take too long, I would say, maybe ten minutes. I loved it and have gotten it a few times and will be getting it again.“

“I always love coming here and would get my ice cream. They’ve even accommodated me when I got there super close to closing time. Saw that they make cakes and was so happy I decided to get my birthday cake from them this year! It was delicious. My whole family loved it. Some went for seconds. Couldn’t recommend them again. Next birthday cake will be from them! lol. I had the Oreo & strawberry cheesecake with Oreo crunch in between.“

“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.“

“I've been seeing the really good food posted on Social Media and finally made the 5 minute trek. I have to say the calzones and pizza were excellent! The calzones are enormous. Where looking forward to trying something different next time, and next time will be soon! ��“

Everything tasted fresh and satisfying, and the portions were generous. Definitely a wonderful spot for a sweet treat with family or friends. Highly recommended! 🍦🍨“

“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!“

“The frozen yogurt, acai bowls, shakes, etc. at Frozen D Lite will ROCK your world: smooth, fresh, delicious, often low fat. Numerous toppings and cones to select. Reasonable prices. Daneesh (spelling?) behind the counter is an awesome guy who will help you choose your favorite treat.

Clean, bright, colorful ambiance with some excellent artwork.

Be careful: the one problem with this place is that the frozen yogurt is addicting!“

“The cookie butter bomb is so good! I enjoyed it so much I’d definitely recommend this ice cream place! Very tasty!“

“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 :)“

“My daughter and I love Carvel, their Wednesday deal buy one get one free, it would be even better if they gave a little more quantity. We are their regular customer on Wednesday and for birthday cake.
Today I bought my daughter's birthday cake and ARPAN who worked there wrote it very beautifully.
I always recommend CARVEL, one of favorite, love ❤“
