This iconic ice-cream shop in North Miami serves the classic soft-serve as well as sundaes, shakes, the ice-cream cakes and other dessert treats. The store needs a good renovation. They only have one table which we sat at. I had a small Vanilla Soft-serve in a cup with chocolate $5.68. I haven't had soft serve in a long time and it didn't disappoint. The same creamy delicious taste. The counter service was friendly and efficient. Carvel was established in 1934, almost 100 years ago. read more

No Oatly products despite them being advertised. So no vegan options. Also smelled a little funny inside. Didn't appear the cleanest or best organized.. definitely a to-go place as there is zero atmosphere or place to hang out. read more

Assistance with choosing best dessert for what I needed, attentiveness,took care in preparation and very pleasant to deal with. Ice cream cake delicious and a big hit as always. Highly recommend this location read more

So ,I'm in Miami driving along, just minding my own business, and I see a Carvel ice cream shoppe. Suddenly, him 4 years old, sitting on my Great Uncle's lap "driving" his special fancy car to go get some ice cream. Mind you, this is the same man who drove Samuel Clemens whenever he was in Connecticut. I thought this place was out of business, So it's been at least 30 years since I went here Yes I was very hesitate to come in, because this is one of those romanticised places where I severely run the risk of being disappointed. I mean.. I actually got a cone from Tom. We were at a grand opening, and also one time he just happened to be in our store. I actually hugged him. He was amazing So, yes, the fear of blowing up some potentially severely romanticized memories is real. As I stood outside debating, I could tell this place is dated, and seemed to have similar decor and even wallpaper. OK... it's hot out here. But whatever I do, I'm not getting "Fudgie The Whale". We could never afford an ice cream cake. I open the door... and holy crap, the smell is exactly the same. Not sure what it is... just "Carvel Smell". My God, I'm back negotiating with Grampa Joe or Uncle (fill in the blank) ... or Gramp (I was always trying for that big cone) that I can eat an extra large all by myself. Of course I couldn't. Now for the real test.... the flavor. Yup. Exactly the same. I have finally found a childhood memory that stands the test of time. Yes, I bought Fudgie to bring back to the kid. Only got a medium twist... but I might get another for the drive back to the hotel. read more

Dirty shop, unfriendly staff and pricey subpar product. Overall I was pretty disappointed with Caravel.

Carvel reminds me of my childhood, going to the beach and craving a soft serve vanilla icecream cone with rainbow sprinkles... Mmmh so good ... And obviously my go to when i come here. Although very small and not pleasing to the eye it serves it purpose.... Sometimes. If you go in to close to closing time they wont have soft serve... I learned my lesson the hard way. There customer service is horrible here too... No one greets you when you walk in and they never smile. Which is hard to believe because id be happy to be around icecream all day but these people hate there job. Nevertheless i still enjoy coming here on latenight dates with my boyfriend and wont let their terrible service and extra charge for sprinkles deter me. read more

Carvel - Vanilla soft serve with rainbow sprinkles - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - North Miami Beach, Florida

Went out last night for a shake ,about 9pm I believe it was and I waited super long line which was not the issue,what was the issue is when it comes to be my turn I asked for a shake and the woman who was attending me ,well let's be clear she didn't attend me she laughed and let me know the shakes had to be done in the blender...I said ok So I proceeded with my next order a second shake and she laughed again and told me I wasn't understanding her that she had to do the shakes in the blender .so because she had to do so there just not available at all and only thing to purchase was what was out infront of her seemed like she was just being lazy and not wanting to do them when clearly she asked the lady infront of me hard or soft serve when she told me it's broken smh bad business I will not be returning and telling all my friends same thing little customer service goes a lot of way read more

Restaurant lacks professionalism and taste .from Ny...and I know italian food rather than some Ragu! Insulted from the minute I sat down..no seafood...just some Argentinian thinking they know sauce....Gnocchi was horrific...and Spanish Rab followed suit..from NYC...wow go to Capriccios in Davie and experience real Italian food! read more

My wife and best friend went with me and we all loved what we got. They absolutely know how to make a very good desert. read more

good service! lots of ice cream to choose from. carvelance is really good! Will come again!

Came an hour before closing and it was empty. The employees didn't say hi as we walked in (even tho it was just us) and that always makes me feel super awkward lol and there was some trash on the floor and a lot of the display freezers were empty. Overall felt very apocalyptic but still got four stars because once we did interact with employees (to order, pay, and the guy sweeping held the door open as we left and said bye) they were all very pleasant... and I tried a new ice cream flavor and it was awesome. It was chocolate hazelnut- my favorite flavor so far. The ice cream tasted like Nutella with little crunchies in it. Not sure if they were bits of hazelnut... I ate it too fast to investigate. However it is close to my boyfriend's house so we will probably be back again! read more

Carvel - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - North Miami Beach, Florida

great customer services. they also have great prices. 3 ice creams & a water for $13.. you don't find that in Miami

Yes, CARVEL ICE CREAM. I admit, the ice cream fanatic is hubby. However, when I want ice cream, it's always Carvel. Don't know if it's because I have wonderful memories or it's just my fav. Either way, you can't go wrong with a chocolate soft serve with sprinkles. So, what are you waiting for? Go get some ice cream at Carvel! read more

We have stopped by several times and never had any problems. Staff has always been kind and helpful regardless of how crowded it is. There is parking for the shopping center it is located in, also. Sometimes there is also a police presence there within the shopping center's parking lot or directly across the street. They have the creations of the month, pre-made ice cream cakes, pre-made dipped ice cream in cones and both the miniature and regular sized ice cream sandwiches that you can grab from their freezer area, also. read more

I came to this carvel because it was close to work and I was craving ice cream, but this place totally disgusted me. It was so dirty, even the jars were dusty with hair in it. Definitely not going again! read more

Carvel - Free cone day till 8pm - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - North Miami Beach, Florida

Stopped by on New Year's Day with my boyfriend after the Miami dolphin football game to have a sweet treat after tailgating. Needless to say, we enjoyed our little ice cream date. The service was quick and the ice cream was very tasty. I order the carvel ice cream cake flavor & my boyfriend ordered the strawberry short cake. Both are very good! The only recommendation I would make would be that the interior of the ice cream shop could be updated. read more

Carvel - Carvel ice cream flavor. My favorite! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - North Miami Beach, Florida

This place isn't in the best of "hoods" per say, but it's worth the risk. Their soft served vanilla ice cream is nowhere near ordinary ice cream; it's creamy and has a unique flavor--the Carvel flavor; it's the crack of vanilla soft served ice creams and it'll keep you coming back. I highly recommend getting it with rainbow sprinkles (rainbow jimmies). You might look like a 9 year old ordering this, but I'm sure they see it all the time. And like their motto goes, "It's what happy tastes like" My only buyer beware is when it comes to purchasing an ice cream cake; they're skimping. read more

These days, so many ice cream shops and frozen yogurt chains are popping up all over the place, but nothing can compare to Carvel Ice Cream. No matter how many new places come about they will always remain my number one. Maybe its not as healthy as frozen yogurt and as low fat, but who cares it tastes way better and I love it! I can't go wrong with my vanilla soft serve with colored sprinkles. In South Florida, the locations are pretty spread out but my favorite location has to be this one! It is by far one of the cleanest, most well kept locations! But no matter what location you go to, unlike the chains that charge you by the ounce, at Carvel, they have flat rate prices where they give you whole lot at a great price. In addition to their famous soft serve and regular ice cream flavors, they have the original ice cream cake (which you can also find in most grocery stores), sundaes, shakes, take home treats like ice cream sandwiches and of course, lots and lots of toppings! read more

My elderly parents in NMB wanted ice cream but can't risk going to the grocery store. Santa kindly agreed to bring the ice cream out to my Dad's car curbside even though they aren't doing curbside service. She also made a quart of vanilla fudge by layering hot fudge with vanilla ice cream. Such kind people and delicious ice cream! read more

Cheap prices, tasty ice cream - sign me up! I'm giving it 4 stars because I'd prefer to be served without getting side-eyed.

This Carvel has been in this area for many years. When in the area I stop by and grab a soft cone. BTW they still make the best ice cream cake around. read more

I love ice cream, and soft serve is my favorite. I cannot emphasize how much I love it, let me tell you this, if eating ice cream was as healthy for you as eating your spinach, it'd be done. Carvel is that familiar place that has the same menu in every state, it's a staple in my life. I don't go there all the time, but once in a few months is nice. On Wednesdays last time i checked, they had a special ice cream deal which was cool to come across. This location is alright, it can be difficult to locate if you're driving quickly and don't see it in the plaza. It's a nice afternoon snack, or after lunch dessert. :) enjoy! read more
