“Great spot, total hidden gem. I come in here time to time and their gelato is fantastic. My two favorites are the pistachio and rainbow cookie gelato ?.. they also have a nice selection of pastries / cakes. If you have a sweet tooth the cannoli creme filled lobster tails were amazing as was the rainbow cookie cheese cake! Last but not least they have a wide range of offerings as far as coffee & espresso!“

“was awesome, 1st time there“

“Ana at Bay Shore Coyle's did an amazing job with our birthday cake. She was very thorough and made sure all the details were right and went above and beyond to make us the cake we wanted. Thanks again Ana for all your help and making this birthday memorable.“

“The two owners Vinny & Nick are wonderful. They truly care about the community and it’s great to see. We fricken love coming here!!!!
Best place ever
If you want to visit a shop that is super clean, this is the place to be“

“I love everything about this place. The cookies. The atmosphere, the wall with the huge cookie. The people there are extremely nice and I just love watching everyone bake their cookies, and they are very sanitary too!! Cookies are absolutely the best I come here very often. I threw up eating the large Reeces Peanut butter though. It was absolutely bomb but I just can’t take sugar like that.“

“Amazing staff! Never a wait. Every Ralph’s should be run like this one!“

“Purchased this beautiful unicorn cake yesterday! It’s so freaking cute & was delicious! I tried the strawberry soft serve which was dairy free & made with oat milk. It was ok for what it was. Don’t think I’d purchase that one again. They did have about 4-5 options that were dairy free & cannot wait to try those next! Zhao helped us (as per the receipt) & she was so kind & gave phenomenal service. Very quick too. The store itself was so clean & they had a ton of options as far as cakes go and even the frozen ice cream section. Will definitely come back again & again ?

Dietary restrictions: They have sugar free frozen options & dairy free options for soft serve & regular scoop ice cream.“

“Great place for Ice treats“

“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!!“

“Love the atmosphere- they have fresh ices and ice cream- possibly too many choices - line moves fast . Staff is friendly and efficient. Store is clean . The sell cute merch too

Dietary restrictions: They have non cream ices which my boyfriend loves“

“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.“

“Great place for delicious food and ice cream. Fun place to bring the kids. I loved my burger and fries and there’s so many ice cream choices. Staff is always helpful and friendly. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Have been going to this location for about 5 years and at least twice a week in peak season. The woman who is always there is the absolute best, I think she is the manager but she is a sweetheart and has the patience of a saint with the crazy customers. She does a beautiful job keeping the location spotless and makes sure my family’s order is handled quickly. Everything we get there is always delicious!“

“My favorite ice cream on Long Island“

“Very nice people and good food.“

“Everyone who grows up on Long Island knows that Ralph's Ices is a staple. All of the locations are excellent, but this one right here takes it to the next level. Recently renovated, super clean and very efficient.

The staff goes above and beyond offering a seemingly endless array of tastings and flavors (Kudos to Maddy for being the best). The drive-thru is so convenient, they offer ice cream & soft serve as well, and they even have a candy bar! Cannot recommend enough.“

“Recently, I came in and placed a large, last-minute order for a catering party that I had forgotten to arrange ahead of time. I ordered several cups of soft serve ice cream and sundaes. From the moment I walked in, the staff were welcoming, upbeat, and ready to help. They handled my order quickly and professionally while keeping a friendly attitude that made the experience easy.
They made sure every cup looked great and were very generous with the toppings not skimping at all. I was impressed that they even waived the charge for one topping because the cup was already filled to the top. Their attention to detail, kindness, and willingness to help turned a rushed situation into a pleasant one. I left feeling relieved and impressed, and my guests loved how everything looked and tasted. Outstanding service!“

“Fun visit getting ice cream and candy! Very pleasant and helpful staff! We will be back!“

“Fast service“

“Great customer service. Amazing custom cake. 😋“

“Great“

“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“

“their birthday cake ice cream is amazing !!“

“Just another frozen yogurt place. Honestly, it was a bit pricey without the size value. I feel as though the cups weren't as... full as they could have been. A little good a long way in that respect and it doesn't cut into profit margins too much. Clean store, clean bathrooms and friendly staff.“

“This is my husband and my spot by default. Staff is always friendly. What takes away from my perfect experience is the stale cones. After enjoying the ice cream part the cone leaves me saying I’m not coming back. I come back with the hopes I’d get a fresh one. They must find a way to keep the cones fresh.“

“Nice place that needs a lot of improvement in food preparation, cocktails, etc. Everything was just OK, nothing to write home about. An example is serving the burrata ice cold. Huge portions provided a lot of take home! Service was very good. Nothing really special enough to make us want to return.“

“The best vegan ice cream❤️“

“Had lunch with my girlfriend yesterday and the food was incredible! Service was fast and professional and the restaurant was clean! Would highly recommend“

“Ralphs Italian Ices are always great. It was on the visit bucket list since my kids have never had them. As always the food was great. The staff, not so much. They seemed bothered by us being there, and both seemed to be having a miserable day. In the end, we got what we went for, spent some time as a family, and enjoyed our snack after a very tough day saying goodbye my mother-in-law.“

“Booked a birthday party. Service very good and so was the ice cream 🍦😊“

“This store is the best of the best I’ve been to many Carvel‘s and this one is courteous help you whatever you need always fills too to the max. They don’t short change you I went to one on you Road cheated me out of three dollars. These are honest people that are hard-working and just always go out of their way to help you“

“Best Ralph's around hands down! The owners & staff ROCK!!“

“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!“

“Owner is really friendly! I ordered a birthday cake and emailed him a jpg to put on the top (a cartoon image with my kid's name on it). He had great suggestions for the color of the icing to complement the graphic. Easy and smooth transaction, clean business, and the cake came out perfect!“

“I was having a bad day and Samson served me and genuinely made my day. his energy is so bright and i appreciate him for taking the time to make me laugh! i vented to him a bit and he was so sweet. i hope to see him again next time i come in“

“Love the convenience of having this next door to Mario’s. The other Ralph’s is open seasonally and this one is open year round. Scott is wonderful and works with schools to do fundraisers and can also do school events where they bring their trailer and serve ices to the kids.“

“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.“

“Nice, clean and modern Carvel store in Commack. Just renovated! Employees are friendly and attentive. The cakes are very creative and I never see some of the designs in other Carvel stores! Would recommend this store to the community!“

“Always a fun time with the kids Ice cream is great Just get shocked when the total $$$$$ comes“

“Great place“

“Cold Stone. Absolutely classic. The ice cream itself is much better than a lot of places out here. Lotta different options in terms of toppings and pre made creations. Cones are good too. Was worried this place would be overrated, definitely not the case.“

“My brother & I used to be in this area so we come back every once in a while to visit. We always go to Carvel and often see Mae (at the front register), and she is always so kind and is a friendly face to see. She makes. the customers feel happy and creates a warm atmosphere. Amazing staff.“
