Carvel

This location of the historic chain focuses mainly on take-out, serving up a menu where the details matter. Regulars point out that the staff takes care to package orders so the ice cream doesn't melt or get damaged on the way home. The selection spans beyond the basics to include a wide assortment of fruit and cream flavors, with standouts like the Volcano mix and lemon sherbet. It runs a bit pricier than average, but the friendly counter service makes it a reliable stop.
