They allow samples and they are pretty generous with their cup sizes too. I got the small and split between the original tart and peach, which is on the sweeter side although not as tart as I would like. There was a rhubarb alcoholic flavor that was good. It is a price upcharge just so you know. read more

Forty Carrots - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New York, New York

I just had the HOMEMADE, real deal, delicious "chicken noodle soup"-Fantastic!! Served with a hot, long, pretzel cigar roll. See my photos of the chicken soup--inside the soup: chicken, fresh carrots, fresh celery, pasta. Very nice seasonings. Rather than a long noodle, we have round little tubes of pasta, reminiscent of bead-making pieces for jewelry, but I just can't think of the name of the pasta. THE SOUP IS DELICIOUS AND WONDERFUL. I love carrots in my chicken soup. Totally great!!!! And then, I almost ordered a second bowl of soup, but decided to try the French fries. My friendly, HARD-WORKING SERVER recommended them, so ...the fries were very, very good. Served piping hot, as they should be, and they were great. I sat at "the bar" area, which has a nice, wide-topped, white tabletop, placemats in a woven, carrot-color, and it's a pleasant place to eat, with --LOVE THIS--HOOKS UNDER THE COUNTER TO KEEP YOUR BAGS CLOSE. Today, I'm not going to indulge in the yummy, famous, frozen yogurt, but that's a nice treat anytime. Summer is coming, so I'll be here for that. I'm just so happy to know that a GREAT HOMEMADE CHICKEN SOUP is available here!! Over the last several decades, yes, I said decades, I've seen the changes at 40 Carrots. And today's visit, May 2025, was just great!! Everything was delicious. Service was nice and friendly. 7th FLOOR, inside Bloomingdale's. Enter on Lexington Ave OR 3rd Ave . There are elevators to the 7th floor. Escalators too. read more

The food is always great--especially the soups!! The only negative is that the room is freezing cold.

If you like tart, creamy frozen yogurt in heaps, this is the place for you. Good price for the quantity. Bring a friend to share with!

Such a quaint little eatery with an amazing breakfast sandwich. Service was prompt and friendly, and the ambiance is really nice and relaxed chic! Can't wait to try their frozen yogurt next time! read more

Classic frozen yogurt spot and a reliable stop when you're in Bloomingdale's. Creamy, not too sweet, and the toppings bar is always solid. It's a great mid-shopping break or quick pick-me-up. Can get busy and a little hectic at peak times, but the fro-yo hits every time. Easy, familiar, and dependable. read more

An iconic gem at Bloomies. Had no idea how popular this place is & couldn't recall my last visit. It's lighter fare and fro-yo are famous and I loved my ladies lunch. The bunched lunch is what we both had. Are: Carrot soup plus salad & fro-yo $23 The soup was good & came with pretzel bread. The fro-yo is famous, I had chocolate & coffee and it was delicious. For a classic ladies lunch, cannot be beat! read more

Sadly, the restaurant has deteriorated in the past 6 months. They are very short staffed and the food has also gone downhill. In addition, they did the dumbest thing I've ever heard: they got rid of decaffeinated coffee. What diner or restaurant doesn't offer decaf?? Thumbs down despite the fabulous yogurt. read more

For those that know, on the 7th floor of Bloomingdale's flagship store, is a hidden oasis, Forty Carats. I've been coming to Forty Carats for years. I used to come for lunch as my office was nearby. Now, I go for a dependable, delicious and satisfyingly delicious brunch/lunch when shopping at Bloomies. I also must call out Hope, our amazing server who was super-attentive and an all-around great part of our meal. She anticipated our every need and even knew my husband needed a to-go cup of iced tea at the end of our meal. Yeah, even their iced tea is very good and fresh. Typically my go-to are their great salads...chicken salad, tuna and egg salad trio. But yesterday i opted for the Turkey Eastsider, Boars Head Turkey & Swiss. My husband had a delish Chicken Caesar salad that came with a pretzel stick. I passed on the famous frozen yogurt and I'm still sad I did. Maybe it was because it's still cold outside, but I will be back. Sorry no photos ! We ate our food too quickly this time. And, if you're looking for a rest room, there's a great one nearby on the 7th floor as well. read more

I walked to downtown Bloomingdale's and got to sample new perfume on 1st floor. Forty Carrots on 2nd floor is a fabulous experience after shopping. Frozen yogurt and fresh squeezed juice make a tired shopper spring back to life. I purchased a carrot, apple and beet juice. I feel so good I wrote this review. Yummy! And fun. read more

Forty Carrots - Bloomingdale's and Forty Carrots - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New York, New York

Have been here numerous times and normally the service is really good. I came here yesterday (2/22) and our waitress (Freba) did not seem to want to serve us. She didn't come over once while we were eating to see how things were going even though I saw her go to the tables around us multiple times. Not sure if she had something against our table, but it made us feel VERY unwelcome read more

When I'm at Bloomies I like to stop by Forty Carrots for lunch or a frozen yogurt treat. Today we had both! I ordered the chopped salad and it came with a soft and delicious pretzel. The carrot soup was hearty and tasty, and the frozen yogurt (vanilla) made a great ending to the meal. Our secret, Freeba, was wonderful - very friendly and efficient. The place itself is like a cute sandwich shop meets ice cream parlor - very cute and usually busy. Definitely a must if you're in the building! read more

Forty Carrots frozen yogurt is truly one of a kind. I've been coming here since I was little, and the yogurt still tastes the same--not too sweet nor bland. I know that I can trust Forty Carrots yogurt as a healthier alternative to ice cream because of the freshness and quality of their ingredients. The plain yogurt, which tastes tart, is the best flavor and tastes even better when you pair it with another flavor and fresh fruit as a topping. I also go for the granola :) Not only does the 7th floor of Bloomingdales serve yogurt, but also freshly squeezed juices along with sandwhiches, salads and specialty dishes. The servers are always friendly and always ask me how I'm doing. Although the line can be long during busier hours, it moves quickly. Even though it can be a bit pricey, they definitely don't skimp on the portions. A small seems like it should be a medium. The green, white, and orange palette makes the atmosphere fun and inviting. Come to Forty Carrots you won't regret it!! read more

Forty Carrots feels like the quintessential Manhattan spot, hidden upstairs and away from the public eye but barely a stone throw away from plenty of shopping and high-end luxury items in a multi-story department store. Living just blocks away, I don't reach Forty Carrots as often as I would like. Their smoothies and ice cream are top notch - certainly more valuable than the small sandwiches and salads tucked in their mini-fridge adjacent to the cash register. The place is extremely clean and pre-COVID, had a series of tables with plenty of excited patrons treating themselves to fudge-drenched soft serve ice cream. A word to the wise: their portions are MASSIVE. You won't leave this place feeling hungry. But their prices match the portion sizes, just like everything else in Manhattan. Overall solid, dependable, and tasty. They're mostly famous for their FroYo (as one reviewer mentioned, it's "creamy and delicious with a texture of frozen custard." read more

Tucked away in the back corner on the 7th floor of Macy's, this spot is great for quick pick me up. Known for the froyo, they also have quick breakfast and lunch options as well, with sit down seating in the back. The froyo at first glance seems expensive but when I saw the portion size, I understood a bit better. The server was very kind and filled up our medium cup until it was well larger than the size of my hand. The toppings are placed in the middle of the cup, not the top to prevent spilling/ falling out. Froyo only customers can sit at the front of the shop where there are many benches and tables. read more

Accessible location tucked away on the 7th floor of Bloomies. Ended up here, getting of the tram, after a hot day in Roosevelt island. Would probably not return. There are so many delicious froyo and icecream spots in the city--this really isn't worth a second try. Pretty basic flavors without much variety. As for the quality of froyo itself, I was not feeling it. The choco was especially dreadful. Ended up throwing away half of it :( read more

A true NYC secret shhhh. This gem is hidden on the 7th floor of the Bloomingdale's on 59th and Lexington. It is the perfect lunch spot. They have a delicious half a sandwich and soup with their famous soft serve yogurt. I opted to sit at the bar. I had the bowl of chicken soup with tuna on multigrain bread. I substituted the yogurt for lemonade. The soup was delicious warm and filled with a lot of tasty chicken. The sandwich was the perfect size. It came with a sweet but healthy carrot slaw and pickle. They have free WiFi. The service is fast. The ambiance is low key but classy. There are many families, older women gathering to chat and kids are welcome. It is one of my favorite spots to come get away from it all and truly have one of the most perfect and satisfying lunches in NYC. Thank you and I will be back soon! read more

Confusing pricing - TOPPING is 3 dollar EACH I got a small froyo and a water for 18 dollars cause I thought it's the same model as pink berry (base yogurt + topping price) Also confusing as nowhere on the menu it says it's 3 dollar each lol you can easily end up with a twenty dollar froyo if you don't know Although I have to admit portion is quite generous for froyo for one person, might not be back again unless I'm sharing with someone cause I couldn't finish mine read more

Forty Carrots - Menu doesn't say it's 3 dollars each - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New York, New York

Shopping at Bloomingdale's just got a whole lot better! Fort carrots has the best salad, they are fresh, packed with protein, veggies and more. The portion sizes are gigantic and worth the price. I ordered the forty carrots chopped salad and love it but couldn't finish it . The chicken was grilled to perfection and the balsamic dressing tied the salad together. My fiancé ordered the mango salad which he was able to finished and loved how fresh it was. The kids menu is also really tasty my daughter ordered the Mac and cheese and my son the nuggets and both were extremely pleased with their dishes. For the freshly squeezed drinks we went with the energizer and immune booster (again the portion size for this restaurant is huge, the small cup was the size of my face). Froyo was the cherry on top. The kids loved decorating their yogurts and we all got to try their amazing creations. I'm so glad we came here. read more

Slow, inefficient service. Paltry portions in their special sandwiches. Don't understand the meaning of 'toasted'. People like this place for the absurd mountains of frozen yogurt - 'highly overrated' is an understatement. Tried to contact 'Management' before posting this, to no avail. read more

Went to forty carrots last month with my mom while we were in the city. We have always loved their frozen yogurt! The only complaint I have is how rude one of the workers behind the counter was. There was a customer who had been waiting like 20 minutes for them to make her simple order of 1 small and one large frozen yogurt correctly since they made it wrong the first time and she was SO rude to her. She specifically told the customer that she was "doing her a favor" by making her order and that she needed to wait because she was waiting on customers in line behind her who were waiting to check out. I couldn't believe how she acted toward a customer who had been waiting patiently for so long. The food is really good though and I wouldn't hold that one employee's behavior against the restaurant as a whole. read more

Forty Carrots - Forty Carrots Frozen Yogurt - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New York, New York

I love restaurants inside department stores or boutiques. I enjoy people watching and being a "lady who snacks" inside the likes of Bloomingdales, as glamorous New York ladies always seemed to be eating in department stores in the books I read as a kid about NYC. Sometimes these stores even have some surprisingly good items like Forty Carrots like the frozen yogurt. The service is really mediocre at Forty Carrots but the frozen yogurt is worth it. If you're someone who is nostalgic for TCBY or frozen yogurt that doesn't have cultures in it, this is your spot. A small is so large that I've ruined dinner twice with fro yo from here by coming right after work. The flavors are also very good. I highly recommend the coffee and vanilla swirl. What's more, the flavors I recommended are both nonfat or low-fat. You can have your ice cream without feeling a beached whale afterward. A small frozen yogurt is 8 or 9 bucks without toppings but you get about a pound of it so price wise, it's not bad. Toppings are very expensive here and not worth it to me personally, as I think the fro yo doesn't need adornment here (and you lose that feeling of being slightly healthy while eating it). Next time you're in the mood for a treat in Midtown or want a pick-me-up while buying winter boots like me, head to Forty Carrots. You won't be disappointed. read more

Forty Carrots is famous for their FroYo for a reason, because it's really, really good! Creamy and delicious with a texture of frozen custard, there are several low-fat and non-fat flavors, and a plethora of toppings, so make sure to save room! Conveniently located inside of Bloomingdales, it's the perfect spot for a late lunch after a few hours of shopping. The menu has lots of fresh, healthy salads, soups and sandwiches. Everything is wonderful! For me, Forty Carrots is more than just food. It's a place that holds so many mother-daughter memories. From the time I was a pre-teen, my Mom would take me into the City to explore, shop, eat, go to the theatre, take in the sights, see a concert, and experience various cultures. It is because of her that I have a tremendous love for NYC, and now that I live on the West Coast, I miss the City the same way I miss a dear and fabulous friend. During our many excursions, Forty Carrots was the place of many, many lunches and conversations. My mom had scouted it out in her own, and being super health conscious, she determined this restaurant was both healthy and decadent, the perfect treat for our excursions. I had shared this story with a friend years ago and in a recent trip "home," which included an epic day of shopping at Bloomingdales, my friend suggested lunch. Without paying attention, I followed her lead and into the restaurant. When I looked up and saw the Forty Carrots signage on the wall and the bright colors and cafeteria style tables, the memories and emotions literally washed over me. It was so unexpected and out of my control; it felt like my mom's presence, her energy was with me. Memories flooded my brain and I was in tears. Uncontrollable tears. See my mom passed away almost 3 years ago after a long battle with Alzheimer's. My friend looked panicked until I explained they were good tears! Happy tears! I thanked her for being so thoughtful to remember the memory I had shared and for incorporating it into our Girls Weekend in NYC. Now that's a Bestie! The carrot salad topped with vanilla Froyo that we always ordered was no longer on the menu, so I ordered a side of their famous carrot salad and a scoop of frozen vanilla yogurt with walnuts, and put it together myself. From the first bite to the last, it was pure Heaven. Appropriate since that's where my Mom is, watching and smiling over me. read more

cashier is unfriendly. while I was asking a question, I was told "miss, there are other ppl waiting!" She didn't answer my questions at all. I needed to ask a person who makes the ice cream if it's a small size or not. + toppings are expensive it's inside and very little! Cost $2! nothing on top. I don't mind buying at the supermarket and bring it very little in my bag. small side is big, if you have a kids, ask extra 2cups - this is enough. actually for adults too. I didn't like the service at all. "no smile's unfriendly. " Yogurt ice cream is yum but it's too big for considering small size and changing $8! I hope they make $4.50 or $5 for much more small sizes. Please consider. read more

We recently ate at Bloomingdale's Forty Carrots restaurants at E. 59th & Lexington. We noticed a change--the ambiance was buzzy with a newly- updated decor. I had the chicken sandwich with grapes and nuts...the bread was very fresh multi-grain. My husband had his usual--3 different salads--egg, tuna, and chicken salads, accompanied by the pretzel bread stick. He noticed the difference too in the taste, and asked our Server what happened---things are excellent--which had been previously missed. She confirmed that several changes happened, and brought back the taste everyone so liked. We rate Bloomie's 40 Carrots 5 Stars for Food, Service, and Ambiance. It's back! read more

Try: Frozen yogurt with toppings of your choice! I tried strawberry and vanilla in a small cup with strawberries and granola - yum! Why: Delicious and massive! A small is enough for 2-3 people to share. I appreciate that they put the topping in layers, in between the froyo. Notes: Froyo is massive so make sure you get enough napkins or it will melt on your hands! It's on the 8th floor of Bloomingdales. Bathroom is part of the mall around the corner from restaurant. Clean restaurant with a dine-in area. read more

Forty Carrots - Strawberry & Vanilla Frozen Yogurt with Strawberries and Granola (small) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - New York, New York

This place is somewhat hidden upstairs in Bloomingdale's, but it is worth tracking down if you are in the area. Their peanut butter frozen yogurt is my top favorite and is so delicious! You can get your choice of many different toppings to combine with a basic but rotating selection of flavors. This is not the sort of place that has 50 different flavors of yogurt--it is more about having 4 or 5 really perfect ones that taste just right and can combine with all sorts of toppings if you want to. They have "regular food" as well (not just dessert), but I always come here for a sweet treat rather than their entrees. Also keep in mind that the portion sizes for the frozen yogurt are fairly generous, so a Small is actually fairly large. With the current COVID situation, they are of course takeout only, so you would need to take your treats out of the store to eat as a to-go dessert. However, this works well for walk-and-eat, whether you get your yogurt in a cup or cone. read more

I love this place so much!! Their froyo is the best! I especially love their plain and chocolate flavors a lot. It tastes healthy and their topping options are great too. The froyo portions are huge though just keep that in mind (look at the photo I attached for reference :) ) For lunch/dinner, I love their grain bowl. It is very hearty and filling and delicious. The service is always quick and very friendly. This is one of my favorite restaurants! read more

Frozen yogurt: 5 star The frozen yogurt is really delicious, not water down like the some other places. The creamy thick texture towards a sweeter side. Even a small cup is full and they fill the cup really high. Service: 0 star The service is awful during the pandemic, instruction is unclear. I wanted to take a cup and sit down, so they took my info for contact tracing and took me to the table with the menu. I told them that I only wanted frozen yogurt and they acknowledged but we were only given the food and drink menu. Went up and asked again was given the frozen yogurt menu but only partial. In the end we had to walk up to the counter because the menu doesn't show everything they have. But after we ordered from the counter they refused us to sit down, told us that we can't bring food in even we have never left the restaurant space and was already left the info for contact tracing. It's just a super bad experience. read more

I came here with my family over Labor Day weekend. We were looking for a place to eat, and Yelp sent us this way! Unfortunately my review is coming a bit delayed - but I remember not being able to finish my fish tacos. They were very good, but I just didn't crave to each more with every bite. I did however order their chicken noodle soup and let me tell you, it blew my mind! I wanted to order another bowl! I would've ordered a large bowl instead of the tacos I had bought. And last but not least of course, the frozen yogurt! It truly is unlike any other frozen yogurt i've ever had in my life. You must try their frozen yogurt!! I'm typically a chocolate fan, but their vanilla was amazing! I would come back to this place for their soup and frozen yogurt. read more

Their froyo is heavenly and while it was tempting to try vanilla or coffee, I am still stuck on chocolate. The staff at the coffee/yogurt bar area are friendly and efficient. I also visited the dining room one day for lunch and enjoyed a delicious East-sider turkey sandwich with russian dressing and a bit of their carrot salad. It was delicious and for dessert I ordered a small frozen yogurt. Betty is a great waitress! read more

I was hiding out in Bloomingdales after an eye appointment. I think Forty Carrots is an example of what I call high/low cuisine that I think is trendy in New York these days. By high/low I mean the extremes of super healthy and super junky. I mean where else can you eat avocado toast and ice cream for breakfast, together? That's 40 carrots' shtick. Indeed, I ordered the avocado toast and while it was healthy and tasty I was super impressed by it because the avocado was more like guacamole than fresh avocado. I chose the cranberry bread because I like sweet/savory combos and enjoyed my poached eggs. I got the soft serve add-on and the peanut butter was excellent. I was pleasantly surprised that it stayed wonderful all the way down to the last lick. I'd say go here for the ice cream, not the food. And then, I got hungry again not long after I ate here. read more
