From Google Maps reviews.
We visited Carvel, America’s Freshest Ice Cream in Rockaway, and had a great experience. The ice cream was really delicious and fresh, exactly what you’d hope for. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. Overall, a simple but very enjoyable stop—we’ll definitely be coming back!
Their logo “America’s Freshest Ice Cream” is so true. So delicious that we get some irrespective of the weather. Satisfaction guaranteed, and the staff are friendly and patient. I finally remembered to take a picture of the cone before I finished it.
Best ice cream in my life
