    I'd give negative zero if it was possible. STAY AWAY from this Carvel if you're looking for fresh Carvel ice cream. We got a package of flying saucers- simple right!?? Nope! It was so overly frozen and covered in a layer of ice. Things happen, i totally get it, but the person who answered the phone when i called to let them know the ice cream has freezer burn and ice on it, basically told me to come all the way back there to exchange for fresher, newer ones. I explained that i didn't have a car with me and can he just credit me and he replied that he needed the rotten product back to exchange, I then asked what he's willing to do to for this major inconvenience and he replied "it's perishable food product, i can't do anything" What kind of reply is that?? You have a franchise and you're willing to lose customers over frozen disgusting ice cream that doesn't even taste like Carvel should taste???? I'm floored by his flippant responses and the fact that this poor excuse for a franchise owner had the nerve to argue with me over this. He is rude and completely immature and unprofessional. Isn't the customer always correct? Not with this place!! See pictures attached. There are other Carvel stores in the area that will most likely have much fresher and not freezer burnt flying saucers.

    I figured it out. Can you see the problem? Hardly anyone ate this chocolate ice cream cake that should have been half vanilla.

    Carvel ice cream is a real treat. This Carvel store is under new management and while their soft serve is wonderful, watch out when ordering a special cake! A half sheet vanilla and chocolate ice cream cake with cherries and crunch costs $44.99, not cheap. So one would expect the cake to be half vanilla and half chocolate BUT the cake prepared was 99% chocolate with a thin 1/8 inch of vanilla ice cream on the top and sides. I will NEVER purchase another special order ice cream cake at this Carvel location. I took a photo but cannot figure out how to add it to this review or the truth of the complaint would be right here!

    Strong Island Ice Cream is one of those places that keeps you coming back. From the moment we…read morewalked in, the smell of the fresh-made bubble waffles filled the shop, and we knew we were in for a treat. We loved everything we tried. My favorite was the Bubble Waffle Sundae, while my bf is always a fan of the Peanut Butter & Jelly Milkshake. You can really taste the quality because everything is made in-house--from the rich, creamy ice cream to the warm bubble waffles and even the whipped cream, which I was absolutely obsessed with. What really made the experience stand out was the people. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and happy to answer questions. The owner was working in the shop when we visited, and he was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. It's always nice to support a local business where the owner is so involved and takes pride in every order. If you're looking for homemade ice cream and desserts on Long Island, Strong Island Ice Cream is definitely worth the stop. Great desserts, great service, and a great overall experience. We can't wait to come back! By the way, there is plenty of parking, the walls are very insta-worthy if you want to take photos with your beautifuly constructed sundaes, and there's some seating, and very clean as well.

The cheesecake was super rich, creamy, and packed with cinnamon flavor without being overly sweet. You can tell it's homemade and made with care. The cinnamon bun latte paired perfectly--smooth, and tasted exactly like a fresh cinnamon roll in drink form. It wasn't overly sugary either, which I loved. The whole vibe of the spot is fun and dessert-focused, perfect for when you want to treat yourself or bring friends for something different. Staff was friendly and the presentation alone makes it worth the visit. If you're a cheesecake lover or just want a unique dessert experience, this place is 100% worth the stop. I'll definitely be back to try more flavors.

    This is a follow up to my April 2025 review at Google…read more Owner Tarkek Hassanin sent a reply. I rent the apartment directly above their sound system. Where their patrons sit. I had no idea that the music would impact my rental. I toured at 9 am. They start "business" ever day at 9:50 AM, seven/7 days a week until Midnight. No holidays off. None. Just imagine. You rent an apartment for $2,700/1 BR and you hear music...Justin, Taylor, Ed, Coldplay, Beyonce, etc. It becomes 9:50 AM to 4:00 AM because the owner of the Dirty Cheesecake in Smithtown's staff "forgets" to turn off the sound system. AI can easily handle that, right. However, Mr. Hassanin continually turns it back on me..."Contact the Property Management." I did contact Fairfield...Guess what, not "Fair" I will pursue, just know...It's all about money. Shame.

    I took my niece to Mickey's for an afternoon treat while in NY, and it was an absolute delight!…read moreFrom the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a bright, cheerful atmosphere and a display case packed with tempting options. Whether you're an ice cream enthusiast or just have a sweet tooth, Mickey's has something for everyone: traditional ice cream, cakes, hand made pies, premium pints, non-dairy options, and their famous ice cream sandwiches (yummm). There were so many flavors and treats to choose from that it took us a while to decide! I loved seeing the grab-and-go pints, such a great idea for busy families or for bringing dessert home. Before making my final choice, I sampled the cookie dough ice cream (which was rich and packed with doughy pieces), but I went with a scoop of Java Chunk in a cone with chocolate sprinkles. The flavor was spot on! A perfect blend of coffee and chocolate chips. My niece opted for her all-time favorite, cotton candy with rainbow sprinkles. The look on her face was pure joy. We took our treats outside and enjoyed them in the seating area, which was spacious and comfortable, perfect for relaxing on a sunny day and making the most of the beautiful weather. My niece told me it was the best day ever when we were enjoying our ice cream, so safe to say this place does it right.

    I can go on and on about Mickey's ice cream forever! I have tried many different flavors but my…read morefavorite has to be the chocoholic! My friends and I typically get 4 pints (buy 3 get 1 free) and keep them in my freezer and eat straight out of our own tub of ice cream - that is how much we love this place. Marvin likes their milkshakes which I also get occasionally, depending on my mood. If you get chocoholic in the milkshake just beware that the chunks kind of collect at the bottom! I also appreciate that they have non-dairy options which I have try still.

My last visit (Friday afternoon) I ordered a Medium Wintermelon Milk Tea (you can get it without the milk), Grilled Chicken Garlic Noodles and a Grilled Shrimp Rice Bowl. Everything was delicious and very flavorful though I felt the Garlic Noodles were a bit on the saltier side and the Wintermelon Milk Tea was a bit too sweet (and I have a sweet tooth). There were a lot of flavorful chicken pieces and the shrimp came with about 7-8 pieces, also very flavorful. They have 3 different sauces that I was given since I was eating there and just returned it to the counter once done. My favorite of the 3 was the more liquidy one though they all tasted great. The place is located in a strip mall with a lot of free parking. There's some seating inside and one small table outside. It's spacious and clean. They have great background music playing and their unisex bathroom is spacious and clean as well. The food came out in a reasonable time and the staff (I'm assuming maybe the owners) were also very pleasant.
