I wish I could give Jessica and the amazing team at Carvel in Woodside more than 5 stars! They always come through with amazing designs and beautiful cakes whenever we need. Most recently I surprised my son's class with Lunar new year ice cream cups and they were so beautiful! Everyone was blown away. Thank you as always for being a wonderful community member, for having the best ice cream and for bringing smiles to kids and adults alike! 😍
The ice cream here is amazing! I tried the vanilla and chocolate soft serve twist—so smooth, creamy, and perfectly sweet. You can keep eating it without feeling overwhelmed. The shop itself has a nostalgic, old-school vibe and is always busy with families and kids stopping by. If you’re in the neighborhood, this place is definitely worth a stop to cool down with a classic cone!
We had an amazing experience working with Jessica! She helped us create a custom Avatar: The Last Airbender cake for our son’s birthday, and the result was incredible—Appa looked perfect and was the hit of the party. And of course, Carvel cakes always taste the best. Thank you for making his birthday extra special!
