The only Carvel in Virginia Beach, but my favorite place for ice cream cakes!! Prices have been creeping up, just like everywhere else. But their cakes and soft serve are consistently delicious! So creamy & smooth and simple yet exceptionally tasty! Staff are always cheerful and kind! The young lady that wrote on my cake did a beautiful job fitting all the writing on my small cake. She definitely has mad skills and great spatial perception! They offer military discounts and you can also use it in conjunction with coupons as well!! Save those $3 off coupons on the larger cake boxes for 10" or larger cakes!

Okay, let's be straight with each other - did anyone else not know that Carvel did treats other than cake? Just me?! I came with my family because I kept getting ads about their sundays and ice cream treats with the crunchies. You know, the chocolate crunchies that are inbetween the layers or Carvel ice cream cakes? THOSE chocolate crunchies!!! We HAD to come! I was pretty surprised that they had full freezers of ice cream sandwiches, cakes, and ice cream. They have a pretty big menu of frozen treats from cones, to milkshakes, and blizzard-like treats. I opted to get an ice cream cone with the crunchies (obv) and my boyfriend got a chocolate oreo milkshake. The milkshake is THICCCK with three C's y'all! It comes with a spoon to help out, lol. We enjoyed our treats but I do think that they are pretty pricey. Two things came out to about $12 which would get a couple treats at other places.

We've driven by Carvel a million times on the boulevard and I can't believe we've never stopped in! The staff was so kind and deserve an A+ for presentation. We got the Banana Foster and a soft serve swirl with rainbow sprinkles. Man, they LOADED us up on the toppings. Look at all that caramel!! We've been buying Carvel ice cream cakes from the grocery store for years, and while we were at the shop we saw that they sell MINI ones in little cups!! Next time we're buying a whole pack to take home. We'll definitely be back!

This place should be illegal because it is so good. My sister always raves about Carvel. Growing up I had their cakes and to me it was just another cake but in Ice Cream form. BUT let me tell you, this place is now my guilty pleasure. Their chocolate crunchies carvelanche is soooooo good! I remember growing up as a kid and absolutely falling in love with the chocolate crunchies in their ice cream cake, so that is why I decided on the carvelanche. The soft serve and the crunchies --chef kiss-- and I highly recommend it; however it may be gone in minutes if you devour it like I did. I also got the Brookie Sundae Dasher and it was amazing! I got a small but it is still a good amount of ice cream! I had to actually put this one in the freezer because it was so rich. However, even after eating it the next day it still tasted great. The store is a bit small so it can't hold that many people in there and there wasn't many cake options for those who are looking for cakes. The staff was extremely nice and patient, and since this was our first visit to a carvel location we were happy we didn't feel rushed.

This review might be a bit biased because I LOVE Carvel and have lots of memories of a child getting the soft serve and ALWAYS a Carvel cake for my birthday. :) If I could I would eat it everyday. We were immediately taken care of by a very nice girl. I wish I got her name. We were there on National Ice Cream Day. She asked if we were ready or needed more time. Nice. I asked her questions and she answered all of them and told us about a NEW flavor and offered us a sample. Nice. I got my norm....chocolate soft serve and my husband got the new flavor. We devoured them. :) There are 2 tables inside. I just love their soft serve.....so creamy. Definitely recommend trying their soft serve.

I'm not going to tell you how often I come here because it's embarrassing. My favorite thing in Virginia Beach? The 'Open' sign at Carvel. I found myself in the midst of a rough day and thought, "You know what? I'm going to eat my feelings." It's the right and adult thing to do. Off to Carvel. The cold brew soft serve with hot fudge is awesome, but the Reese's Sundae Dasher? Ugh, yes. Drown my feelings in peanut butter sauce. The staff here is always pleasant. I have never had a negative interaction. If you too need to eat some sucrose laced positive feelings, this spot is for you.

I don't usually come to Carvel too often, as I don't usually over indulge on ice cream cakes, ice cream cones, and shakes, oh my. I came in on my birthday to get an ice cream cake, which I'm still eating little by little. When you come in, the place is actually pretty small. There are cakes in the coolers to the right as you enter the place. They also have regular ice cream, soft serve ice cream, shakes and more. They also have some indoor and outdoor seating. When I came in, it was actually a little busy. I wasn't overly surprised considering how warm it had been outside around that time. After finding the right size cake, I used the birthday coupon I got in my email from them as well. On a side note regarding coupons, the staff told me that they honor all of their coupons, whether expired or not. The staff here are very friendly and are willing to help you in any way possible. You don't feel rushed into getting something. Now, for the ice cream cake itself. The ice cream cake was delicious. I've always had a great experience with cakes from Carvel. Even though it was a bit of a hike to bring it home, it was still nice and cold with minimal melt as well. Nothing from the cake tasted overpowering from other parts of the cake. I did have the cake personalized for my birthday. If you're looking for a good ice cream cake, look no further than Carvel. You won't be disappointed.

We've been going to this establishment at least once a month but now it's not longer worth it. This was suppose to be a banana dasher, basically is a melted ass ice cream. Workers were lazy and said, ugh I have to cut up a banana. Then some lady walks into the store and goes straight to the back and makes her 4 shakes and walked out, clearly did not pay for it while I paid over $5 for melted ice cream and sloppy as well. There are other locally owned ice cream stores that my family and I well support. If your customer service sucks especially during a pandemic and you need to stay afloat, maybe you guys should try to improve it.

I haven't been to carvel in years. There was such a nice young man working behind the counter, quite but very helpful. Extremely knowledgeable and good at his job. He anticipated that because i had kids and said i want a small, he recommended i look at the size. A small is really large for kids and im glad he pointed that out i went 2 sizes down to kids. Then while another customer asked how long the location was open he responded quickly 43 years. I will visit again if we get the same grear service.
