“Amazing staff at this Carvel!! The cake design person helped create two beautiful cakes for my twins birthdays. One was Minecraft theme and the other Soccer. The grass looked so real on both cakes everyone asked where we got them and couldn't believe it was an ice cream cake. Thank you again!“
“Their gelato is literally the best gelato I have ever tasted. You can tell it’s all homemade and made from the heart. I have been here several times and have tried so many of their flavors and so far not a single flavor has disappointed me. I 100% recommend this place. If you don’t come here you are missing out on the BEST gelato ever.“

“Great for a late night craving! Thank you for providing an additional sense of security while we enjoy our treat. The pillars in front of your establishment goes unnoticed by many, being in the security industry, i have to say……. This shows you care about not only your staff, but the customers waiting in line.“
“I would've given them a perfect star. I mean the times I've come here they've all been nice. It just seems like tonight I don't know. Had one girl there she finished serving someone else but then when she saw me she decided to go wash her hands pick up a rag find something else to wipe down even though the fact I was standing there, and I felt the energy shift because of the color but yet when someone else have of the same color came , she decided to stop what she was doing and ask them, How can I help you in mind you each time I come here always leave a tip but it's all good.... thanks to the gentleman that helped me....But over all their stuff is great!!!!“
“What can you say about the place that hasn't already been said, except to say that they are a Long Island icon and have the freshest and most delicious soft serve around !The only thing better than the ice cream is the friendly and helpful staff who treat you like family !“
“In doing an Aperol Spritz themed bridal shower for my daughter we rented the Aperol spritz tricycle from Dolce & Gelato. I started contacting Gino Parente the minute my daughter got engaged.? I’m an earlier planner. Gino was so responsive and so kind immediately. Nothing was a problem for him. He is unbelievable with communicating, I called him at least 15 times. ?. He takes the time out to speak to you as if you are his only customer. A truly professional man to work with . On the day of the shower the tricycle was decorated beautifully with fake flowers and the bar attendant Katherine was fantastic! My daughter and our guests had an absolute blast getting drinks from the cart and taking photos. So much fun! I’ll definitely be using Gino’s company Dolce & Gelato again! A truly wonderful experience working with him!“
“Good gelato, they don't get frustrated when you can't decide on one of their many delicious flavors and allow you many samples. Simple and effective service. I think the interior is a bit bland but it's not bad just very minimal however it is very clean! Definitely Would recommend.Dietary restrictions: Some vegan and No Added Sugar options availableWheelchair accessibility: Flat entrance“
“I came upon this shop while looking for a quick bite to eat. Service was fast and very friendly. They have tons of options and everything is good quality. The shop was also very clean. There are chairs outside to enjoy your frozen treats. Overall I definitely recommend stopping here for dessert after dining at one of the many restaurants near by.“

“Get the 4 scoop sundae, good for 3 ppl R $11. That's a solid steal! Replace pineapple with berries and have a mix of nuts rather than one.Downside is the hot fudge melted the ice cream so it was like eating soup.Keep the ice cream solid and visible rather than underneath the whip cream.Cool old blast to the past parlour look. Good chill time.“
“I go with my wife to this great restaurant quite a bit! This is my favorite spot to grab a bite. I visit this place regularly. The food is just great, the team is welcoming and the charge is reasonable. I enjoy meeting in this spot for a rich meal.“
“I stopped by go nuts for sweets because I needed a quick gift for a last minute bday party. The lady was super sweet. She had me pick out the items I wanted and she put it all together for me and made me this basket looking so cute for the birthday girl. As I waited, I also ordered a tiramisu bubble tea. I was hesitant at first because I didn’t know how that would taste but I’m so glad I did!! The drink was super delicious girl let me tell you! I will definitely be back, and I promise if you go you’ll love it too(the kids will love u for bringing them) ? thank you for the lady who took care of me!“
“Place is new. We checked it out. Clean place. Excited to have a new gelato place in the neighborhood. I had the Ferraro rocher and it was delicious. My husband had the coffee and lemon flavor and we both ate it all. I'll definitely go again.“
“3.5 for food 4 for service Big space, ample seating with a photobooth in the back. The interior is a bit hodge podge. You'll see modern lighting mixed with paintings and antiques and old records. Like the design, you'll also find a mix of things to choose from like gelato to cookies, pastries, donuts, macarons and breakfast sandwiches? We got the original bingsoo which was had a hefty portion of mochi and red bean. Taste was okay, I think there was way too much mochi. Could've used more soybean powder or sub with nuts. I also got a raspberry jelly filled donut which had a nice fluffy dough but the jelly inside was too sweet. I've also sampled their black sesame and passion fruit gelato which were both decent but not the best gelato imo. Place is clean and service was good so i gave 4 stars instead of 3!“
“This is one of the most aesthetic dessert places I've been to. Great for friends and family to gather, have a chat and get some yummy dessert. I visited in winter so some of the items I.e. durian was served frozen. Most of the items were pretty good, only item I would pass is the mango sticky rice because the rice wasn't sweetened and the sauce on the side did not absorb when poured over.“
“Delicious treats for the discerning palate!! The flavors are subtle but powerful. The owner and staff are delightful. Great way to end a date or to mark the end of a crazy workweek. They're open until 10 pm, so you can satisfy that late evening impulse for something sweet.“
“Rolled ice cream is always a fun treat! They had lots of flavor options and I chose piña colada. All were $8 and came with unlimited toppings! I didn't realize at first the toppings were unlimited or I would have gotten more! I saw that they even toast marshmallows with a torch for you upon request as a topping. Ice cream was delicious and the staff friendly. They had a few tables inside and a bench outside to enjoy your ice cream. Parking could be a little tricky, as it was street parking only but we were able to easily find a spot around the corner.“
“I come here once every few weeks to buy a bucket of the Cookie Craze and it's delish every time. The owner is usually working, she's so sweet and she packs the bucket full. I've gone to other Ralph's and they don't seem to have as much cookies in their ice cream. Always friendly staff and always quality ice cream. Do yourself a favor and go get some!“
“Nice find on a hot summer day. Adventurous menu with ample flavor combinations. Compliment your sweet treat with fluffy waffle sticks that pack a crunch. Service was standard, employees had low energy or seemed to not want to be there so that could improve. Me and my fiancée would go back to try some more for sure“
“I called this morning and spoke with Maryann about my food allergies. I decided to try 3 Towns Cafe for the first time. It was less than a 20-minute walk from my house. The ambiance was perfect for brunch, lunch, and dessert dates. Soup of The Day *Ask for a sample* Beef Barley Soup + Oyster Crackers: I loosened the tight lid slowly to avoid spilling the soup. The beef barley soup was hearty. Health Shots Hot Shot: The hot shot (2oz) was spicy because of the cayenne and the black pepper. It gave me a good kick. Crêpe or Croffle Ham & Cheese Croffle: The ham & cheese croffle was flaky and yummy. Bakehouse I bought these nut-free baked goods below. Apple Turnover: The apple turnover was flaky and yummy. The apple filling was sweet. Fudge Brownie: The fudge brownie was chocolaty and yummy. Gelato "Last Drop" Gelato Special (Pumpkin Spice) + mini sugar cone: The gelato tasted like a slice of homemade pumpkin pie. This was my favorite. One word: Scrumptious Maryann, thank you for providing excellent customer service! FYI, I downloaded the Clover app to earn rewards! Bookmark this spot to try!“
“I tried the mango salmon poke bowl and it was an absolute delight! The combination of fresh mango chunks with tender salmon slices was refreshing and flavorful. The presentation was beautiful, and each bite was a burst of tropical goodness. The portion size was generous, leaving me feeling satisfied yet craving more. Overall, a fantastic dining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a delicious and healthy meal option“

“The only place in the area to go when you're craving Italian Gelato! Their gelato more closely resembles gelato I've had in Italy, compared to other places who do not specialize in this.The staff and owners are helpful. Even though there are a million signs saying "only two samples per person", they were kind enough to give us more samples for our kids when it wasn't busy. The area is not the best for me, but if it's convenient for you, I'd definitely check them out!“
“This ice cream shop is one of our favorite spots in EM. My friends travel from queens to get ice cream from here. They have flavors that we love Guava, Passionfruit, Mango, Tamarind, etc. Everything that you can't find in a normal spot. If the flavors that I listed are too much, it's ok they have normal ice cream too. The service is individuals, but the staff are very attentive to your needs. So don't rush them.“

“The best selection of Italian-style ices. Not your typical supermarket or pizza place Italian ice. High quality product at fairly steep prices. Still, the best place to get ices in the area. There are better places for ices in Queens and Brooklyn, but this is the best place I’ve found on Long Island.“
“Carvel is literally a taste of my childhood.Whenever a birthday or another event arose that "required" a cake, we always got a carvel cake with the famous crunchies. Well to this day, my childhood carvel still exists in the same locale and i enjoy their cakes and other icey treats just as much. And Wednesdays are especially the day to go if you get the urge, because they are 2 for 1 on sundaes.. CANT BEAT THAT!“
“Wonderful ice cream for humans and our canine baby! We stopped for a treat earlier, tasted coconut, German chocolate and raspberry ice cream . Fantastic fresh with natural flavors. Friendly service and especially catered to our boxer Izzy.“
“I ordered the rolled ice cream for my daughter’s birthday and we ordered the banana pudding flavor, the candy flavor and the Oreo flavored rolled ice cream. They were all very delicious. I highly recommend. You have options of toppings like cereal or chocolate chip or whipped topping etc and also for the type of syrup that you want on top .There are lots of toppings to choose from. I can’t wait to try them all?Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian type options from the plant based ice cream to the toppings eg, fruit loops, cookie crisps, dark chocolate chips etcKid-friendliness: Cereal flavors for kids to choose from“
“I typically hit this location in the spring and/or summertime, anytime I visit my sister and her children. There are so many different flavors here, but I am sure they have something for each and every customer that comes by. Friendly staff and great portion sizes. I typically try to try something new each time that I go.“
“This location reopened Summer of 2021 after repairs from a car that plowed into it a few years ago. Now surrounded by bollards to (hopefully) prevent another car from closing the store again. They added a few new flavors of soft-serve. Better than ever.“
“This spot is truly a hidden gem in the Westbury area. The essence of Nana's is that of an ice cream parlor and coffee shop with baked goods. However they also serve beer and cocktails alongside some quick eats such as burgers, and special menu items such as gumbo or shrimp & grits. On Wednesday evenings they have a fun Trivia Night which is free to join. Nana's is a slice of New Orleans hospitality in the middle of Nassau County.“
“Such a cute old school candy store. Lots of types of chocolates and other favorites.It was a bit hard to find as the sign in the window is quite small and the bigger "DMV Services" sign makes you think you are in the wrong place.“
“Such a cute little spot. If you happen to be in Long Beach, this is another place that you must pop your head in and try if you have never had alcohol infused ice cream. I normally frequent the Manhattan location and have also use their delivery service from time to time. Today was my first time at this particular location being that I was out in Long Beach I ended up buying a pint of the rosé infused sorbet.Normally I get the raspberry lemoncello or the mango margarita flavor. My all time favorite is the watermelon Hennessy infused sorbet (limited edition)I haven’t tried the rosé yet but they had a blood orange infused flavor that I did sample today that was pretty good and the manager even mentioned that it pairs well with Prosecco.Definitely will visit again while summers is still here“
“There is not much that differentiates one carvel from another product-wise. However, the awesome customer service and friendly staff is what makes this one shine. We have a peanut allergy in the family and have never had an issue either.They also do a phenomenal job decorating cakes. 10/10 would recommend :)“
“I was so excited to try Ralph's after I've heard such amazing things but especially after I heard about their new doughnado. I ordered the triple chocolate brownie doughnado with a chocolate and vanilla soft serve twist, and it was the best tasting food I've ever put in my mouth. It was the perfect combination of ice cream and cookie dough, and they offer enough flavors to satisfy anyone. Aside from the doughnado, they offer an enormous amount of creme ice flavors (this is not ice cream)...so many that it's almost stressful to choose (good problem to have)! Wish they would expand to MA!“
“What a fun and tasty summertime treat! If you "but it's just a snow cone" you are mistaken this is much softer, fluffier and definitely a Snoball! This is the kind if treat once took my first spoonful I was already plotting when I could Come to eat it again and why did I only get a regular sized when I should have gone BIGGER. There are over 100 flavors to pick from and additives and more so truly you can go wild. I really enjoyed coconuts tutti fruti, tigers blood so far. I wish I had one sooner. Lots of young people working behind the counter but they had a smile on their faces 5/5 stars!“
“The ices are always delicious, but I’m giving these 5 stars to the girls that worked when I went today. There was a huge family ahead of me and the mom was awful, difficult, and frustrating to everyone behind us. The girls behind the counter were so kind even though the woman was insane and it shows how professional they are.“
“Wow! Amazing ice cream! Stopped here on my way home from the beach and will definitely return. My husband had the cherry vanilla and my son had Cookie Monster. Both raved about their ice cream. I tried the chocolate soft serve vegan and it was better than regular soft serve. It actually tasted like chocolate and didn't melt right away. I wish I lived closer to this place. It would be my go to! Don't pass this place up. It's worth it!“
“This small cafe is a great stop for a quick bite or drink. They pay attention to detail and things are made in house. It is conveniently located next to a local Chinese supermarket and an elementary school. Fortunately, there is a parking lot that has tons of space available for free.The cafe is quite small and meant for a quick order and pick up, but there's some seating for a sit down. Indoor Sit down is only for 3-4 people. You can place your order either by walking in or calling ahead of time to pick up. I ordered lumpia and it was cooked right away just as I ordered it. It was fresh and crispy. Definitely homemade. One order comes with 5 pieces along with a sweet and sour sauce. The chicken bacon avocado wrap is filling with lots of vegetables and protein. Flavor wise, everything is quite balanced. The Hawaiian chia bowl had mangos, bananas and granola on top. It was just sweet enough and not overpowering. Decent portion. The lemonade was a bit too sweet for my liking. If you'd like flavored lemonade, expect it to be flavored syrup mixed with some lemonade. It's delicious but quite sweet. Overall, I'd recommend this place for a quick bite, but not really for a sit down spot.“
“Mary's Irish shop is truly a gem! From the people to the food everything is great! I've had the Irish breakfast which brought me write back to Ireland and recently had their BEC sandwiches that were absolutely delicious! Trish and her team are amazing and make you not want to leave. We can't wait to go back!! High recommend!“
“Chocolate Mousse Chip creme ice is my fave. I get CMC 9 out of 10 times. Caribbean Splash water ice is outrageous. Can't go wrong with Cotton Candy ice cream. Parking sucks and Merrick Ave sucks but it's Ralph's! they can do no wrong!“
“Great workers who always make it a quick and easy process helping either me or my dad when we go for our lunch break most days during the week, just gotta walk in ask for "The Usual" and the Girl with the great smile always hooks it up, much “

“The end of Spring has arrived and Rita's is now open! They open every year from spring to end of summer and does not disappoint! I tried their strawberry icee mixture with vanilla custard. Very tasty and refreshing. Not to be bias I went this past Sunday again and tried the mango icee flavor with the vanilla custard. There are many flavor options of icee as well as custard to choose from and the prices are very reasonable. They are located directly next door to Nathan's in Oceanside. When in the area, stop by and give them a try..:// you will not be disappointed! And don't forget to tip the hardworking high schoolers working there“
“we love sweet charlies its so delicious! Anu is the best and so welcoming and nice every time we come!

“Decided to go here since nip's ice cream parlor was closed and I knew I made a good decision. Their ice cream is always delicious no matter what the flavor is. Along with the flavor of ice cream was the service that was given. The servers were very nice and polite handling the request of the ice cream that was requested. I always enjoy having ice cream from here considering how great it is along with the service with it too. I highly recommend coming here for ice cream especially with all the flavors that they offer.“
“The best fro yo on the island! Don't forget to stop by on a Tuesday or Saturday for BOGO! Bonus is that it's right across the street from the train station. Perfect for grabbing a sweet treat before taking the train back to penn station.“
“I've been coming here for more than I want to admit and makes me feel old. I'm going to keep this very honest in respect to using common sense/speculation/as well as responding to some of the comments on here. We haven't been there in quite some time...surprised to see the place redecorated. My wife loved it...I understand it. I'm one of those people that walk into a pizzeria and see faded red Formica tables, benches and dated dingy decor as a good thing. I was never bothered by aesthetics as it seems seasoned and perfected like the food im about to indulge in. The old international cafe had a plethora of food, nothing that wow'd you BUT was consistently good even though they had a great variety. The freshly made waffles, variety of gelato and fresh whip cream needs no review. People who complain about noise should just stay home with their mask on. You are talking about an open place restaurant that is a staple of a community for decades. Why in 2024 are people so miserable to see others so happy. Place is jammed back...what do you expect it to sound like? People complaining about kids are the same $hit parents who rather hand their kid a iPad instead of letting them socialize. When we go there we expect it to be busy, loud, kids be kids, great food, great service and pay cash. With new owner ship comes many things and one them was the menu. We were thrown off since we were expecting our usual order. A lot of their items on the menu can be easily replicated at home. When we go out to eat we only order what we don't make for the most part. My wife ordered their Chicken Tenders which was made fresh as they were chicken cutlets cut down. I thought it was OK my wife was not happy bc the crispy bread outside came off the chicken itself. We also got wings and beer battered onion rings. Onion rings were great and wings are wings. We don't deep fry in the house for many reasons...we never ordered anything deep fried at the old spot either. Got their loaded potato skins which my wife enjoyed as well. Reviews about the new whip cream being OFF in taste is correct. Gelato tasted the same to us which was good. Price seemed fair for what we got compared to others places we have gone too. Best of luck to the new owners and staff. I honestly don't think we will be back bc happy wife happy life Our waitress was PHENOMENAL“

“We use Dolce Confections for all of our events, Julie is great to work with! They have so many options/ideas and everything they make is delicious! We just got our desserts there for my son's 1st birthday in the beginning of October and they never disappoint!“
“I got an ice cream cake here for my daughter's 5th birthday and they did a superb job! The cake had a beautiful Cinderella graphic to match our party theme. It completely exceeded all my expectations. Would come here again and again for cakes!“
“This place is inside of Tsaocaa, or are they partnered with them 0-0 But the donuts were good, a bit oily but tasty. We got an egg waffle and corndog too because it was Christmas so why not. Treat yourself :) The gurlie at the counter was nice and, as the maker of the previously mentioned corndog and egg waffle, she was pretty skilled. They were made excellently and the finished products were so aethetic, insta-worthy 100%“
“I'm delighted to share my experience with Batch! The delivery was remarkably swift, and the cookies exceeded expectations. Each bite was a perfect balance of soft and chewy, showcasing high-quality ingredients. I highly recommend this shop for anyone craving delicious cookies delivered promptly.“
