yummy ice cream
I went just for Carvel and stood outside of the window, for a while, before someone asked for my order.
There is no indoor seating but, thankfully, the outdoor patio is covered & it looks very nice...so you can absolutely go there on a rainy, or snowy day but I prefer not to sit outside, in the cold.
It's hard to park, here...the driveway to the parkinglot is very slim...I parked next door.

This is the only place in the DMV for your Fudgie the Whale and Cookiepuss needs! Ty (hopefully I spelled that right) was so helpful - he made sure the boxes would fit in my cooler and that I had enough ice so everything would make the trip back to Maryland. He even gave me a dish of soft serve before I left! I really appreciated the thoughtful customer service.

Carvel Ice Cream & Bakery is a charming spot that offers a nostalgic vibe, making it a favorite for many visitors. With a variety of dessert options, including their famous fresh ice cream cakes made in-house, the restaurant has something for everyone. The outdoor patio area is particularly appealing, featuring plenty of seating and cute decorations that enhance the atmosphere, perfect for families or dates.
While the ice cream, especially the Peanut Butter Treasure, is highly praised for its delicious flavors and generous portion sizes, some customers feel that the prices can be on the higher side. A kids' size soft serve with sprinkles can cost around $10, leading to mixed feelings about value. Despite the costs, many recommend the quality of the desserts and the friendly service, highlighting that the staff is generally helpful and courteous.
Overall, Carvel Ice Cream & Bakery is a delightful place to enjoy tasty treats, especially in the summer when it can get quite busy. With its combination of great flavors, a fun atmosphere, and ample outdoor seating, it’s worth a visit.
