This was our first visit and I absolutely love the vintage style of this Carvel in Palm Beach. Beyond the classic appearance it still offers all the modern choices that Carvel is known for. Take advantage of the Buy One Get One Free Sundaes on Wednesdays. This is an excellent place for all your Carvel items from soft and hard ice cream, cakes, shakes and more.

This place is a hidden gem. All kinds of ice cream, toppings, drinks. The ice cream is dipped as you order. Waffle bowls, dipped bowls, waffle cones etc. A ice cream lovers dream. I got the butter pecan in waffle cone with pecans & caramel syrup. We walked right in & ordered, then about 10 came in after us. The staff took each persons order & gave her all of his attention until finished before moving to the next person. The line went smooth & fast.

Carvel Ice Cream has a rich history dating back to 1934. It all started on Memorial Day when Tom Carvel’s ice cream truck got a flat tire in Hartsdale, New York. He decided to sell his slightly melted ice cream on the spot—and people loved it. That experience inspired him to serve soft ice cream from a fixed location. By 1936, Carvel’s “no-air, super low temperature” ice cream was patented, and in 1937, he opened his first shop in Hartsdale. In 1947, Carvel became the first retail ice cream shop in America to franchise. By 1951, there were 100 shops, and they introduced their iconic Flying Saucer ice cream, inspired by the UFO craze of the era. They’re also famous for the Fudgie the Whale ice cream cake, which celebrated its 40th birthday in 2017. Today, Carvel is owned by Focus Brands, and as of 2022, there are 358 franchises worldwide, 326 of them in the U.S. Their motto? “America’s Freshest Ice Cream.” While shopping in the area, I spotted this Carvel on Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach. What immediately caught my eye was the giant Flying Saucer on the roof, recently installed to celebrate 75 years of this iconic treat. I grew up with a Carvel just down the street in New Jersey

If you remember the days of the roadside Carvel stores with the iconic cone in the sky, this is worth a visit when on the road. Carvel Ice Cream, founded in 1929 by Tom Carvel in Hartsdale, New York, revolutionized the American ice cream industry with both its products and its retail model. Carvel famously began by selling soft-serve ice cream from a truck, and after a flat tire incident, he discovered that slow melting and careful storage of his ice cream allowed him to develop a loyal customer base. By the 1930s, he opened the first permanent Carvel “road store”, a uniquely designed outlet that combined accessibility for motorists with a focus on fresh, soft-serve ice cream, sundaes, and signature ice cream cakes. Ice Cream is excellent as well!

Absolutely loved this place! The ice cream was fresh, creamy, and full of flavor and both were amazing. The staff was super friendly and made us feel welcome right away. Perfect spot to cool down on a hot day. Will definitely come back again!
