My family has been coming here since 1994 we get our birthday cakes from here for everyone in the family. For Mother's Day, Father's Day, welcome home, etc... We know the family that runs this location, and they are the sweetest and kindest. This is why I buy from family owned they pay attention to their customers and appreciate them. Thanks, Carvel (on castle hill) for making my childhood and family events special.

My grandparents would take me here as a little boy and I've always loved the banana icecream there. Never found an icecream quite like it. As an older man now I was so happy to be able to take my kids there to share the experience I had as a child. Glad you're still open.

Love this store after it was remodeled. They've been extremely professional & their servings are big. They always give me extra crunch on my brownie sundae cup at no additional cost. Very clean too.

I think pretty highly of not only the chain but this place itself. The staff was pretty friendly and we had no problems with our order. This chain on Castle Hill isn't a very big one, so if it gets crowded, it may become a bit hectic, but it's worth the wait for some top quality ice cream.

I ordered a custom birthday cake for my husband and it was great! The woman who took my order on the phone was so sweet and helpful. I told her my husband loves coconut and she suggested a sponge cake with coconut ice cream on top. Everyone loved it!!
