“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!“

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

“I often get assistance from employee Alizer. Dairy queen could not find a more high quality person if they tried. Alizer customer service is a 10/10 she's a total asset for dairy queen. Hopefully management recognizes her hard work and offers her a bright future/career“

“Ice cream choices are absolutely perfect They have adult ice cream and it totally hit the spot I got rocky road and Banana fosters And it was the perfect combination My first time being there and I was pleasantly surprised the banana fosters was <3“

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

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!🍨“

“UnMAtched Soft Serve“

“My favorite place in Kings Park! We try and get our ice cream with their black cherry topping as often as possible. It is a challenge since we live in NH.“

“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!“

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

“their birthday cake ice cream is amazing !!“

“The best vegan ice cream❤️“

“Very nice people and good food.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“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.“

“The italian ices were delicious as they always are there.
The service was excellent.
It definitely does need more seating and to hide or clean up the garbage area behind the building.
Despite that, especially on these hot days, I definitely recommend this wonderful place for any one of their delicious refreshing treats.“

“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😌“

“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!“

“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.“

“We had our daughter’s 3rd birthday here this past weekend. The party was flawless and stress free. Alicia was so accommodating from the moment I inquired up until the very end of our party. We did not feel rushed, the place was so clean, the staff were wonderful and put up our decorations for us! Five stars!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“I love kilwins fudge best ever“

“Great place! Their açaí bowls are delicious�“

“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!“

“COFFEE SO STRONG YOU’LL BE FUELED ALL DAY. Single origin, roasted in house using a zero emission coffee roaster. OMG All the bells and whistles a cafe could have, they have. Love the friendly and knowledgeable baristas. Quick and efficient service. Also an amazing place to work all day. Bathrooms are clean and well decorated. They open early and close late. The best in SMITHTOWN!! A must visit.“

“This place ROCKS.

My GF and I are trying to keep our glucose in check and we seek out salad places (and have experienced MANY) and this has been by far our best experience. I had the Supreme Chef's salad and my GF had the Whole Food salad. I don't know what other people are talking about but everything including the dressing was included. You could add extras but we chose not to. Our total was in the $40 neighborhood but the portion size is excellent (my GF didn't finish).

Annalise (sp?) was a kind, thoughtful, engaging worker behind the counter and an absolute pleasure to be served by.

The ambiance of the environment is plain and small, so I marked them down one notch on the in-store experience but I didn't care at all because the salad was so good.

Five star experience --- Highly recommend, especially if you have any other salad-place experiences.

Dietary restrictions: Perfect if you're trying to eat healthily.“

“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 ?“

“Every thing . Bringing my grandsons tomorrow.“

“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.“
