    Strawberry/pistachio

    Great place for ice cream strawberry and pistachio. Quick service and friendly staff. Has a cozy feel especially at night. And they have parking too.

    Is it ever a trip up north unless you visit a good old fashioned Carvel ice cream store? When I recently visited last month even though the temperature was a nice cool 32 degrees I still had to make sure to stop by a Carvel so I can say I've been to one up north. The location is very easy to find from the street because it is lit up nice and bright however there is virtually no parking and if you go at night good luck seeing parking because the parking lot is basically pitch black. It only consists of about three or four spots but even then it was difficult to make sure I was parking in the lines... Which I don't think I did anyways cuz it was so dark LOL. The interior was insanely to clean and it is a rather small Carvel but that doesn't stop it from having huge flavor! The two people behind the counter were very friendly and talked us through the pricing and sizes of the ice cream cones. In the end I decided to get a small vanilla ice cream cone with rainbow sprinkles and let me say, for a small it was massive! And there was a very nice dose of sprinkles. So many that you could barely see the ice cream cone! While I loved it I could see where they could maybe use a little bit less in case you're not a huge fan of rainbow sprinkles. Prices are good and the ice cream was delicious and rich and I am going to be craving it every single time I think about New York and ice cream in general. Friendly staff also made this a very welcoming Carvel to stop by! I don't understand all the negative reviews.

    Auburndale isn't known for ice cream, but I'm glad we at least have a Carvel! It's clean, the staff is nice, and it hits the spot when you need it. Parking is a huge help as well. Maybe it's because of the location, but this Carvel is on the pricier side and they charge extra if you want a classic, thick milkshake (made with hard ice cream instead of soft serve). They do have deals occasionally and B1G1 Wednesday sundaes are always solid. If they could consistently make thicker shakes and do it right each time, this ice cream shop would be perfect in my book.

    Typical Carvel spot. Been coming here for around 20 years. Love their smiley face ice cream cups. The workers are nice. They have interesting soft serve flavors such as pistachio. Service was fast. There are social distancing markers on the ground right now. Dairy-free options are available! There's some parking right outside.

    Love the pistachio soft serve!! :D

    My go-to ice cream spot! Of all the bougie ice cream shops popping up all over NYC like Soft Swerve, Taiyaki and Big Gay, I'll take a simple soft serve cone from Carvel any day! My favorite by far is the pistachio! So smooth and refreshing! This location on Northern has very limited parking, and a few seats inside. But most people just come in for a quickie and then bounce. They have a nice selection of ice cream cakes too. Wednesday's are Buy 1, Get 1 Free sundaes! For those of you who play, there's a Pokemon Gym next door at the church. :D

    Carvel is good shop for cheap ice cream and ice cream cake.. I have been here couple of times when we have party for the kids. The menu selection are huge for ice cream and ice cream cake also. And the prices are definitely reasonable. Is it better than dunkin donut yes it's much better than dunkin but. Still not that good if you compare to local ice cream store like pesso's. I will gladly get here and get some ice cream for party because reasonable price and also it does taste good. The customer service is fast and good. They do the job on time and make sure all customers are taking care off. If you want to save a bit more that do have buy 1 get 1 special on some days. Just look for the posters on the windows which they change every week It's in a little shopping center so there is a parking available, first come first serve. No valet parking.

    This was a very delicious pumpkin spice cake from The Sweet Spott NYC! I wanted the cake for…read moreChristmas (which is my grandma's birthday), they told me to remind them a week prior, and I did. They were able to accommodate my holiday deadline. Furthermore, I appreciate how they respect the COVID regulations, and offered me free curb side pick up. (PS They were very courteous.) Now on to the cake itself. First off, the cake was moist and dense at the same time, which I really liked. It wasn't too overwhelmingly sweet - this is important, since I served it to older adults, who are not fond of super sugary, diabetes inducing cakes (hahah ). But they appreciated the cinnamon-y taste from the pumpkin spice cake. Furthermore, all the fruit on the cake was fresh. There were pomegranate seeds, blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries. All 1000% ripe, fresh, with the right amount of sweetness. The fruits did not seem to be pre-frozen and thawed either. Lastly, the rosemary and cinnamon sticks were a very nice touch to the cake. It made it look more earthy in my opinion. Most importantly, my grandma loved the cake! So thank you very much for putting a smile on my Lola's face for her birthday!

I will definitely be ordering from them again and I highly highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed, that I promise you.

    Stopped by again (was closed Wednesdays when I first visited) and finally got to try the goodies!…read moreAlthough I didn't have time to find parking for a stay - it's a small cute dessert shop with limited seats. I am a fan of the pandan flavor desserts and bought two that I wanted to try. One being a roll cake and the other layer cake. The pandan roll cake with taro I was told is a specialty that they only have on weekends. It was really flavorful, moist and spongy, just perfectly touched with a dash of sweetness in both the cake and the cream - I personally don't like overly sweet foods, and this is just perfect for me and my mom. I'm equally pleased with the layer cake as well it was very fresh and have that "QQ" texture - deliciously chewy and bouncy. This too, just hit right for me on the gentle sweetness, the pandan flavor keeping the spotlight in this dessert. My mom and I are big fans of these desserts. We just came back trying out others pandan layer cakes in Downtown Flushing and this shop beats them by a large margin. I hope to come back more when we could even though this shop is quite a distance for us.

    Ordered the pandan cloud cake for a birthday, it was seamless and the cake was delicious!! Would…read moregladly order again. Owner provided a kuih to try and it was very bouncy!! Please go support this cute business!!
