    I went to my local Carvel branch to pick up an ice cream cake for my Dad's birthday. -Staff is young (teens maybe) but helpful -They assisted with the writing on my cake and let me pick color -This branch has the flying saucer specials (BOGO, 50% off if you buy a cake) -ended up with a small square ice cream cake, which is their smallest which was $18 -the cake is what the cake is - an American classic with the oreo bits Need a birthday cake last minute? I wouldn't hesitate to coming to this Bath Ave Carvel

    Came to grab a birthday cake for hubby with hubby (not a surprise). He insisted on a plain cake (because he don't eat baked goods so an ice cream cake sounds great!). We arrived and looked at their vast options and chose this plain round cake with blue frosting (blue not pink since he is a boy). There was a small cute snowman cake (but too small) and I reminded him that he wanted a plain cake-- I should had gotten it because it was the first time he showed interested. Staff was helpful and wrote "Happy Birthday" on it for us. No candles provided or offered for purchase. I guess we got used to Tous Les Jours bakery that provides a plastic cake knife with some cheap candles. I haven't had ice cream cakes in so long and remember the chocolate crunchies being the best part. Their cakes now have less crunchies than they used to have. I wish there was more.

    Due to the Coronavirus, this birthday gathering was a small one. Typically, we are 9 of us celebrating another year. My favorite Shakespeare's quote is "with mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come." I'm always the optimistic one among my friends. I'm thankful for all the texts pouring in when I woke up. It's good to know I'm loved and appreciated. It's nice to get gifts and all. But I think the most valuable gift I received from a friend wasn't a physical item. It was a motto to live by. "It's when you let yourself be vulnerable around someone that when you build a closer relationship." Anyway, thanks Carvel for making my cake. I love the pistachio/vanilla with chocolate crunch.

    We wanted a small birthday cake so we picked up a simple square shaped ice cream cake (vanilla/chocolate) from Carvel. The staff was very helpful and patient in assisting us with the selection. You can never go wrong with Carvel, we all enjoyed the cake!!!

    False hours of operation. It was 10:06pm and the sign said closes at 11pm. They didn't want to sell me ice cream saying they were closed. If they can't be honest with their hours this carvel bis definitely rotten to it's core.

    Specials in the store. I always forget what days are what so I finally took a picture to share!

    Love this Carvel location! They have so many different treats that keep you coming back. I love their flying saucers and small pre-packaged sundaes. Their pistachio ice cream is far superior to any other brand. The prices have risen so you can't make this trip too often but when you go you know you will be satisfied. Nothing ever beats Carvel's birthday cakes with the crunchies in between the vanilla and chocolate ice cream, this will always be the best.

    Sweet Carvel!

    I often go to Carvel to buy ice cream; it's especially delicious! There are many flavors to choose from, and they're all very tasty.

    So there was a snafu with my order and while I wasn't exactly happy as it happened in Christmas…read moreEve, the staff/owner were all very nice and they're a small business doing what they can on a holiday with their family. Plus their baked goods are delicious! Two stand outs are the black sesame Swiss rolls and the durian cream puffs. It's been a year since my last review, and I think they improved the black sesame flavor. A full Swiss roll was $28 and so worth it. The durian cream puffs has a chunk of durian in it and the choux was crisp. Durian cream puffs sell out often. The chestnut mini cake is super cute, and honestly, it's hard to find chestnut flavored things here anymore. If I had to label this bakery anything, it would be the Chinese bakery that has all the nostalgic flavors with modern takes. Most Chinese bakeries by here don't do black sesame, durian or chestnut anymore. And this place does it well, and they're nice. NOTE: to order, they prefer WeChat. My ordering snafu happened bc I tried calling and there was a language miscommunication between WeChat/text messaging. WeChat is the easiest way to place orders.

    Cake 5/5 Service 5/5…read moreValue 4.5/5 Such a charming little bakery tucked away on 86th st - they're a true hidden gem! I love that they use fresh fruit and make their own cream. We ordered a custom cake for my niece's 12th birthday, and it was honestly one of the best custom cakes I've ever had. Most custom cakes tend to have a denser, tougher sponge, but this one was incredibly fluffy, bouncy, and perfectly balanced, most importantly not too sweet. The texture reminded me of the amazing cakes I've had in China, and I haven't found anything like it here until now. We also tried their fresh mochi filled with whipped cream and mango, it was so light and melts in your mouth! The mochi skin had just the right chew and reminded me of the fresh mochi I had in Taiwan. Even their mini hot dog bun was super tasty! Every item we tried was a hit. I'll definitely be back here!

There was absolutely no flavor--just tasted like straight butter and sugar. I know what pandan taste like and it wasn't it. I paid extra for pandan flavor, and honestly there was zero trace of it. I could tell she used green dye, It literally tasted like a bland, buttery sugar cookie cake. Texture-wise, it was just as bad. It wasn't moist at all and didn't even hold up properly even before cutting--it just fell apart. It looks like crumbled rocks. The cake was so dry! For the price, I expected much better quality. Communication was another major issue. There's no phone number, only email, which already felt off. Responses were slow and unhelpful, making the whole process feel unprofessional and honestly a bit sketchy. What kind of business only communicates through email? Overall, I'm highly disappointed. Definitely not worth the money. Save yourself the frustration and look elsewhere--this is a perfect example of why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. I truly wanted to support her small business but it didn't turn out the way I expected. This business overpromise and under deliver. Don't say you can make a pandan cake when you clearly don't have the proper ingredients. Could been honest to begin with but instead you dug a hole and lied by using green dye. Never again am I supporting this small home business I rather go to an actual LLC.

Our guests were always so impressed by her cake designs and complimented how unique and yummy the cakes we got. Separately, I very much appreciate the unique flavors (green tea, ube, to name a few) that Lisa offers! Every time I try something new, it immediately becomes my new favorite.
