“one of the best carvels! always spotless , great customer service and always helping the community!!@!@ please support local“

“The first time here is the best in Staten Island. Lines to buy the icee's. You can eat the icee made with water or milk. I recommend the maracuya, coconut, cherry, and strawberry, all made with real fruit and have pieces of fruit in it. People from other places come to buy in pint sizes to take home. I wish I lived there. I would have bought several pints, but I was visiting.“

“Ask for the pumpkin latte ice cream . Not on the menu but available til late fall Sooo good!“

“This isn't the first time I went to Ralph's. It was in the summer right after I came from Jimmy Max With a bunch of People. 70 degrees, perfect weather and a good time to have a Frozen treat.??? Last time I had coconut flavored Italian ice, this time I had pina colada cream ice. In this location is like a little plaza and it had a spot which showed a whole menu. They even had ice cream, smoothies, cream iced and many more. I looked in the window where they prep the ice cream and it smelled like fun. ? I think I might want to come back some more flavors to try out.???“

“I had a craving for icecream, so I decided to come here as it was close and near where the restaurant I was eating at. As soon as I walked in, the employees greeted me with a smile and told me if I had any questions I could ask them. Throughout the experience, the employees helped me with choosing flavors and were extremely kind. Also, the store was very clean.“

“Extremely clean environment and very friendly n helpful staff... I loved the choices of protein and salad mixes... however- although I ordered 3 proteins, the salmon, shrimp n Ahi tuna; I wasn’t crazy about the Ahi tuna. It had no taste and the texture was spongy- my choice of the sesame dressing left the salad very wet and soggy by the time I got it home! I suggest eating there or ask for the dressing on the side!!! Bubble Tea’s & ice cream flavors were AWSOME!!! I highly recommend...“

“Best burger so juicy and delicious“

“Ralph’s Ices is hands-down one of my favorite spots when the weather warms up. Every visit is a hit, and their flavor selection is wild—in the best way possible. My usual order? Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Peanut Butter Cookie Dough. It’s the perfect combo of rich, chocolatey goodness and sweet, nutty comfort. The texture is always smooth, creamy, and just the right amount of indulgent.

Even when there’s a line, the service is fast and friendly. The vibe is chill, nostalgic, and feels like a proper summer tradition. Whether you’re a first-timer or a regular like me, Ralph’s never lets you down.

If you’re looking for a frozen treat that actually lives up to the hype, this is it.

Helwa Approved ✅“

“I love this place. Service is fast and on point, the place is kept clean and the ice cream is top notch as always. I usually always get chocolate devotion or cheesecake fantasy. But today I got Oreo overload, let’s just say I got a a newfound love for cold stone again. Always hits the spot!“

“The Italian Ices are amazing, so good lots of different flavors and even sell pints, great value, wonderful people can’t wait to get them again.“

“Shake Shack is located in an outdoor mall that has lots of vacant shops. Air conditioning was nice on a hot day. Their fries are very yummy, had a hamburger and a lemonade too. All good. Food took a while to come out but we had the time to wait.“

“As another Great season of delicious italian ices from Ralphs comes to an end I would like to speak for all customers when I say that this years customer service was the best in recent years. The staff is made up of high school and college students that were extremely nice. In the many times I visited Ralphs this year, I was greeted by a worker named Bill on multiple occasions. Bill, always wearing his green Yankee baseball cap, was very helpful and outgoing and would usually give me the weekly breakdown on the yankees season which I quickly started to look foward to on my trips to Ralphs. All in all this location is the best by far in Staten Island. Can’t wait for you to be open again!!“

“Great ice cream! Reasonably priced for the convenience of a food truck and they were very accommodating to us and our family.“

“Before walking into carvel, I had hurt my finger and was in need of a bandaid. I ended up asking the worker and he looked very concerned for me. He ended up taking out a first aid kit and put the bandaid on me with a healing jelly thingy. He didn’t have too, but he did. I think that shows how much he cares about his customers. The sundae was 10/10 as well! 🍨😋“

“We had a delightful afternoon at the igloos in Snug Harbor. From our amazingly server Cody (hi Cody!) to the delicious ice cream, beautiful setting and sweet activities for my children, every thing was perfect. The Christmas crunch ice cream was delicious, and it was the best hot chocolate I have ever had. We will definitely be back in the summer, and looking forward to the igloos next year. Such a fu and family friendly holiday experience!“
