Spoke to the owner and found out that this is their second location. The first one is in Danbury…read more I didn't see any sandwiches when we went. It had a big assortment of baked goods such as breads, quiche, muffins, etc. the owner mentioned the breads are baked on premise but the pastries are baked and delivered from their Danbury store. We had the French cream donut and the chocolate almond croissant. Let me tell you, do not leave without trying the the donut. The cream was like putting a perfectly sweetened cloud into your mouth. They were just putting over a dozen into the display and within 15 minutes while we were there enjoying our pastries, all but one was left. The croissant was also perfectly crisp on the outside and flaky on the inside. I would call to see check if they sell sandwiches. Other reviewers may have confused the New Milford store with the one in Danbury. I did not see any sandwiches for sale when I was there and the storefront says OV Organic Bakery. All in all, definitely worth a visit and will be back!

I actually tried two baked items (sweets) today which other than being pricey (IMO), were in-fact very good and I'm going to 'assume' home-made.

I have honestly never had truly fresh pasta straight from a pasta shop before, and I can't believe…read morewhat I've been missing! The owner was absolutely amazing--so friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He took the time to explain his techniques and even showed me how he cuts the fresh pasta right there in the shop, depending on whatever style you want. I was especially impressed with his gluten-free pasta. I have family members who are gluten-free--or try to eat gluten-free--so finding a place that actually takes the time to explain their gluten-free options was a huge plus for me. Of course, I ended up buying way too much stuff , including some of his prepared meals from the freezer. I tried the chicken cacciatore, and WOW. Even though it came frozen, once I baked it, it tasted like something I had just made fresh at home. The chicken was delicious and that sauce was ON POINT! And then, as if I hadn't already bought enough, he sent me home with a couple of samples of his fresh cannolis. You really can't go wrong with that! Such a great little find. Fresh pasta, great food, and an owner who clearly takes pride in what he does. I'll definitely be back!

He suggested and I went with a pound of fresh fettucine made that morning--it was a colossal hit! We also used fresh vodka sauce that he made at the store, and we took some gluten free ravioli and frozen goods for later. It's kind of rare to find pasta houses like this where you can plan basically any Italian meal. Don't miss it!

The owner is a real Jerk and judged me in the wrong way when i came in to buy an ice cream sunday. He looked at my attire and said to get the f*ck out and never come back. This is when the store opened and I was walking in for my morning sunday as usual. I came here for 2 years and never got treated so poorly. The other workers were not even their when this happened. This guy had something wrong with his eye too. His name Albert I'm Guessing. read more

The owner of this store could be the biggest scumbag asshole on the face of the Earth. He's clearly miserable to be alive. You can't get in and out of this store without being belittled, body-shamed, or spoken down to. I wish nothing but success for the businesses in New Milford during this pandemic, but I hope Carvel has to close. Our town doesn't need this dick in business. read more

We walked into a clean, relaxed space where the self-serve format lets you choose your own flavors, control your portion, and build your cup exactly how you want it. The store has a comfortable, laid-back atmosphere that works well for a quick dessert stop, and the layout makes it easy to move between the yogurt machines and the topping bar without feeling crowded. The main reason to come here is the variety. There are a lot of frozen yogurt flavors available, ranging from classic options to more creative seasonal choices, along with a wide selection of toppings that let you customize your dessert. We appreciated the freedom to mix different flavors and textures instead of just picking one preset option. The ability to sample before committing to a flavor is a nice touch, especially if you are trying something new or want to build a combination that balances tangy and sweet. The yogurt itself is a nice option when you are craving something sweet and refreshing. It is more of a casual treat rather than a specialty dessert destination, but the ability to create your own combination is what makes the experience enjoyable. Whether you want something simple with just a few toppings or a cup loaded with everything from fresh fruit to cookie crumbles and sauces, there are plenty of choices to keep each visit feeling different. The staff helps keep the experience easy and welcoming, and the shop has a comfortable feel for stopping by with friends or family. The team keeps the machines and topping bar well stocked and clean, which makes a difference in a self-serve format. It is a straightforward frozen yogurt spot that does what it is meant to do, with lots of options and a fun build-your-own dessert experience that works well for a casual outing or a sweet treat after a meal.
