Who would like a Carvel Ice Cream Shop?
 

A shop that serves Ice Cream and custom ice cream cakes? Not yogurt, but ice cream?

We already have Scooples at Brownwood.

Love Carvel!

I worked for Tom Carval in upstate New York in the 60's.My father and Tom had a dream much like the villages in the Catskills.Golf course, manufactured housing and all.I helped my father set many manufactured homes there.I met Tom many times.Very nice man with lots of dreams (and ice cream)Thank all those innovators to see what this, The Villages has become.Lots of someone telling them that you can't when you know you can. Finding monies and being stopped at everything you tried to do but to still persevere,Takes something special.

Don't make no nevermind to me.

No comparison to Carvel ice cream made in house and not shipped in from a food distributor.


Its like wine, the $5.99 bottle is fine and does the job, but... well you all know what I'm saying.

Carvel would be great, so would Friendly's.

How about a real non-chain bakery that makes 7 layer cake? Sacher torte?

Maybe if Gary Morse gave them about 70 million to get out of bankruptcy they would open a Friendly's here.

Maybe an Oberweis like we had back in Chicagoland.

OMG I lived right by Oberweis YES!!!!!

I thought a number of years back there was a Carvel out here near Target, and it closed.

I was very sad to see Brewsters close, they made their own and it was awesome!

How 'bout an Isaly's? Those cones with the conehead-shaped ice cream, yum. They had specially shaped scoops to dig out the ice cream. Mint chocolate chip was my favorite. Also the home of Klondike Bars.

You are correct.
Carvel was out front of Target closer to US 441/27.
I think it was about 2009 when it was there.

The collapse of the US Economy in Fall of 2008 dealt a death knoll to a lot of places.
Some held on for a while, others dropped out slowly.

Jersey Mike's just came back to that plaza.
JM's is in the same plaza where the Carvel's Ice Cream was located.

Thanks for verifying that! My husband later informed me it was where Jersey Mikes is.

I would.

I just hope my Aunt Phil and Uncle Howie don't read this. They owned 2 Dairy Queens in NJ and every winter when they closed gave us a freezer full of Dilly Bars, Sandwiches, yellow with butterfat tubs of vanilla ice cream, whip cream, wet nuts [my mother's favorite] and strawberries [my favorite].

Soft ice cream please!!
 

I would love a real soft ice cream shop here. Not the fake frozen yogurt...that's not ice cream, it's yogurt. I'd like the rich, creamy, thick soft ice cream like we had back home. We had 4 real good soft ice cream shops with in 4 miles of my house, one of which is Martha's Dandy Cream, which by the way won one of the best ice cream shops in the US just recently. How lucky were we to have such great ice cream practically in our back yard. I say bring back soft ice cream.

Thanks for the memories.

Memory is now jogged, thanks to y'all,
pretty sure Jersey Mike was there and then left.

CARVEL, I believe took over the JM's space.
Now, JM's is right back where they first were located.

All y'all and yours truly have seen certainly witnessed
a few changes in and around this area.

Carvel
 

I'm in !!!!!!!!

Played LL baseball 48 years ago for the Carvel. Bullets in Brooklyn NY
Still love their products

I use to go across the street during lunch time in high school for free Carvel cones (a friend worked there). Now that my tastes have matured, I get my fix at Ollies Frozen Custard on 441!! (much better than ice cream IMHO)!!

We had a Carvel in the Target shopping center. It closed years ago. So sad!

Here's a link to a Carvel in Vaginia that delivers locally.

A small smoothie [milk shake] cost $8.50.
A small sundae also cost $8.50.

Maybe that's a special delivery price. If not, I don't think they are going to make ends meet here.

I guess it's just sticker shock for me. How do I know?

We had a Carvel here about 5 years ago, also it changed owners and still could not make it.
Carvel killed their stores by producing in central locations and selling in supermarkets, including Publix.
Had a contract to purchase one about 10 years ago and when I talked to owners, they all were negative about their future, I backed out. Most have gone out of business.

Loved it when I was younger not so much now. I did like the "One Take Tom" ads.

I used to work at a Carvel on Rockaway Parkway. I could make 5 small cones in one hand. Now I satisfy my urge for carvel at Ollie's. It's not the same taste, but it's delicious.

I know you'd love Carvel's (which was near Target and then closed). However, I'd settle for Dairy Queen.....I have simple tastes.

How about a real BAKERY that bakes hard crusted breads?

That is what I remember also.

Was that across from the Bayview Projects? Or further north near the LL?

There used to be a Carvel store on 441 near Outback Steakhouse but it closed a few years ago. There was also supposed to be a Friendly's where IHOP is now on 466 but the company went through a restructuring and decided not to go in there.

Not me. I like real ice cream not soft frozen

If I remember correctly, it was right off the cross island parkway, not too far from Kennedy airport. We used to supply ice cream cakes to the airport.
Edit: I can't believe I've been out of NY so long that I can't remember if that's the cross island or the belt pkwy down there by the airport. Next thing you know, I'll start to think that Pizza Hut is good pizza.
