Carvel Ice Cream

About

Carvel Ice Cream is the soft serve brand founded by Tom Carvel, and in the Syracuse area it turns up as a food truck. The brand is built around a light, creamy soft serve recipe that Carvel perfected through years of trial and error, aimed at giving people a happy escape.

The menu goes beyond cones to include cakes, sundaes and shakes, and the brand calls itself America’s freshest ice cream. Because this is a truck, the stop changes from day to day, and a food truck tracking service is the best way to find out where it will be next.
