Carvel

I’m a sucker for 2 for one sundaes, especially when there is a special flavor on soft serve. This time I got Reese’s. It’s good for 2 for one then you feel like you are getting your money’s worth.
Maybe the location is poor, but I’ve never seen any crowd in it compared to trips to Coldstone or Basken Robins. There’s only street parking available which isn’t always plentiful, and there are some vacancies or other sketchy looking establishments in the vicinity so it’s not the nicest location. I also haven’t really sampled their other ice cream flavors.
Maybe because whenever I’ve gone it’s dead, but the employees are always helpful and when I had a coupon that was about to expire, it seems they aren’t too picky on dates and are willing to help the customers. I just think the prices are a bit high for a summer treat and the area doesn’t feel like the best to be walking around in after dark.

I’m a sucker for Carvel. Went here only because I had been craving ice cream cake and then got a coupon from them in the mail. It’s almost as if they knew. Creepy.
Anyway, the coupon was for $ 3 off a sheet of cake, but I tested my luck and approached the counter with a medium round cake for $ 17.99. The dude let me use the coupon anyway and so I walked out only paying $ 14.99 (in case you needed me to do the math for you).
Overall, that cake is good for about 6 slices (about $ 2.50/slice if you factor in the discount), and it was way better than a single slice of ice cream cake I paid $ 9 for at a restaurant the other night.
They’ll also decorate the cake on site with whatever expression (s) you want at no additional cost.
As an aside, I would heed Wesley C.‘s advice about the sherbet. Steer clear. I can see why it tasted like chemicals … it looked like a 5^th grade science experiment gone awry.

Very bad. My orange sherbet tasted like it had chemicals in it. I will not be back.
