Beenie's Ice Cream in Morristown is my absolute favorite ice cream shop, full stop, with its high-quality ice cream made from high-quality (and locally-sourced, where possible) ingredients, 'campy' decor, and helpful and friendly staff. Beenie's offers a wide variety of unique ice cream flavors including 3-4 seasonal flavors that are only available for a month at a time, but what really sets them apart from other ice cream shops is the variety of their dairy-free selections for customers with dietary restrictions. Most ice cream shops treat their dairy-free customers feel like an afterthought -- defaulting to one or two fruit-based sorbet or italian ice flavors. Beenie's offers dairy-free customers scoops of SIX dairy-free ice creams made with oat milk or coconut milk - Birthday Cake, Cookie Dough, Cookies & Cream, Fudge Pop, Mallomar, and Mint Chip - that are just as rich, creamy, and flavorful as the full-lactose varieties. My favorite is Birthday Cake with Cookies & Cream coming in a close second. The atmosphere is very casual with a friendly staff and a cozy indoor seating area with a campsite / outdoorsy theme including a faux campfire and a handful of picnic-style tables for you and your friends to enjoy your frozen treats. PRO TIP #1: Beenie's does not have a private parking lot, but there is plenty of paid on-street parking on Morris Street. Bring change or use the ParkMobile app for the meters ($1 per hour) Monday through Saturday from 8am til 6PM; all street meters are free Monday through Saturday after 6pm and all day on Sunday. If you can't find a spot on the street, paid parking is also available in the Morristown Parking Authority 10 (12 Wilmot Street). read more

Finding a new ice cream shop on a hot day is basically my dream come true. Beanie's was the perfect way to cap a day exploring Morristown. 5 stars across the board, truly. The flavors were unique and out there and those are my favorite kind. I opted for a small scoop of the honey lavender... woah. Sweet and smooth and so delicious. Don't be fooled by the small cup, they pack those little guys with a massive scoop. The space is deceptively huge. Ice cream shop on one side and an adorable seating area as soon as you turn the corner. It is perfect for any group to sit and enjoy, decked out with adirondack chairs and picnic table for a cozy camping vibe. Will absolutely need to make a return trip the next time I am in town. read more

My boyfriend and I tried Bennie's and it was so good. We both got milkshakes and a pint to go. There are so many flavors to pick from it's hard to decide. We parked across the street by the Dunkin' Donuts. It gets very busy at night but the servis was quick and seamless. The staff were friendly and even let me Try a couple of flavors. They sell custom cakes online and custom ice cream. Definitely checkout their website and come in person to try. The shop was brightly lit and has a fun atmosphere. There is seating also next door with a nice colorful mural all over the wall. Great for families. We'll be back soon. Thank you Bennie's read more

I'm dragging my friends here the next time they visit. Beenie's is an experience. There's colorful walls, a huge variety of original flavors, toppings, cute indoor seating, and a happy staff. I bet it does get crowded on popular days - the front is really not super big, and with only one row of flavors (not arranged in a U shape, like at places with more space), everyone needs to stand in the same place while browsing. I got the coffee Oreo. I loved the soft cookie texture - crisp would've been wrong, IMO - but I do wish there were more coffee flavor. Lots of people love this place though, so I'm looking forward to trying it again. read more

Beenie's was one of the best ice cream spots I've been to in a while! They let you try three samples out of their long list of ice cream flavors including some unique ones. I got the nutella ice cream which included pieces of chocolate covered pretzels which i thoroughly enjoyed. They have a decent amount of seating inside with cute and bright murals and decor. As we were leaving there were a number of people in line but it looked like the line was moving quickly. I would definitely come back if I'm in the area! read more

What a great ice cream shop! I stopped in on a weekday so it wasn't busy. The ice cream shop is bright and inviting. It has some seating inside that is cute and kid friendly. What I loved about this place was the wide variety of flavors. It was so hard for me to choose one. I was grateful that they had a few non dairy options. I tasted both non dairy and dairy options. I ended up getting the Ba-nilla banana ice cream and wow. It was very nostalgic for me because I used to eat Nilla Wafers when I was younger. This was an amazing blend of bananas and Nilla wafers. One of the best flavors I've had. Ill definitely be back. I hope they make that flavor non dairy one day. read more

Such a cute spot, I wished I took pictures! While we were there, we had the chance to chat with the talented guy who painted the murals on the wall. It was a treat for our kids who love art and got to see it in live action. Now, onto the ice cream. So many flavors to choose from. We kept it simple with some classic choices, but now that we know how good it is, we're going bolder next time. P.S. Don't be shy about asking for a taste! My kids were all about the strawberry, and I had to satisfy my cookie dough craving, so we didn't get to try the other tempting flavors--but we'll be back for sure. read more

Great ice cream and would recommend coming here. I got the darkest chocolate and it was so good!

Super cute small ice cream shop. It was very tasty, quick and fast! A variety of 15+ flavors. You have your classics with vanilla and chocolate and Cookie Monster and other fun flavors on the other side. Service was fast and they have a cute picnic themed seating area inside around 4 tables. There's around 20 ish people worth of seating inside the store. read more

I'm generally hard pressed to find an ice cream place that I don't love...and Bernie's didn't let me down. Wifey had been here before so I had high expectations. With WAY too many flavors for me to make a decision I asked our server (with hope in my voice) if a small was only a single flavor and he happily said..."nope, I can give you two." With that response I ordered a small with half oToasted Coconut and half Reese's Witherspoon. Wifey ordered a small Black Cherry Amaretto. We took a seat and dug in and my only regret is not going back for more. It is a little pricey here, but the ice cream is excellent, the staff was friendly, and the place was bright and inviting. Next time we are in Morristown there's no doubt we'll be back. read more

When we go out for ice cream, it is usually to Beenie's. Parking isn't super great, but it's close enough (across the street there is a lot - don't typically need to worry about paying since we come at night). Great flavors - they rotate some new ones and keep the crowd favorites. I'm a big fan of the Dunkaroos flavor and the Cookie Monster flavor. They have a fun seating area that feels like camping (you have to see it to know what I mean). It's very cramped near the counter when you place your order and sometimes it's annoying because you need to keep adjusting as people try to get by, but you do what you can with the space. read more

Every time I come here I know am getting quality ice cream, and their flavors are way more than just the traditional old school flavors which is a huge plus for me. Their bathroom is a plus too because its funny and you have to go in just to see it for yourself. And for the service, you can ask to try flavors, you pick and the scoop scoop scoop, you pay, and than you get. I usually add pictures, but it was too late it was too yums read more

It was super cute and i wish i was hungry enough to try more flavors. All of then sounded unique and interesting, still regret not also trying a spoon of the cinnamon toast crunch. Wish i lived closer to go back soon. Also the faux campfire room was cute. read more

Tucked away in downtown Morristown, Beenie's Ice Cream is a gem that always hits the spot. As much as I love dairy, dairy doesn't always love me back -- so I truly appreciate their non-dairy ice cream options. My go-to is the vegan chocolate milkshake made with oat milk. It's rich, creamy, and honestly tastes just like the real thing -- without the stuffy nose or discomfort later. It's perfect for when those ice cream cravings hit. The only downside is parking. Since it's on a busy street, finding a spot can be tricky. Still, once you get inside and have a shake in hand, it's worth the effort. Grab a seat (nothing fancy, it's an ice cream shop!) to enjoy it before you fight the traffic to get back to your car. ---------------------------------------------- "Savoring flavor, style, and elegance--one bite at a time." read more

Great ice cream with a VERY unique set of flavors and monthly specials. Flavors such as Dr. Darkness (heavy on chocolate hence the name), jelly donut and sprinkles (tastes like a donut), and ube (monthly special). A personal favorite is golden Oreo. I use to eat them so much as a kid and now I get to eat it in ice cream form! read more

Three stars for the ice cream and five+ stars for the charm of this adorable place! Love so much about it but wasn't floored by the ice cream actually, which I expected to love. Dunkaroo didn't really taste like Dunkaroo (more like sugar), and the Chocolate Fudge Brownie didn't that fudgy brownie taste that's oh-so-good. But I'd still come back to try more flavors and hang out on their adorable picnic tables. And love how everything is full cream, fat, the whole shabang. read more

Loved loved LOVED visiting this local ice cream spot. They have such amazing unique options (especially dairy free ones!!). I got the Cookie Monster one and it was unreal. With every bite I couldn't believe it was dairy free. The staff inside too was super sweet with my party ordering/sampling flavors. Price and parking were good too, no complaints at all there. This honestly has to be one of my favorite ice cream spots, I loved it! Can't wait to come back. read more

This little ice cream shop downtown Morristown can alone justify a visit to this popular town for those lucky enough to be in their 20s. I may have to say this is the best ice cream shop I've been to in New Jersey. Really can't justify how any other one could be better, although the bent spoon, in Princeton is in the same league but different This is probably that ice cream shop you've been looking for with lots of really amazing and different and top-notch quality taste delicious! Really, can't believe that it is stuck here on the street with more average tasting restaurants and diners nearby. You'll have to try one of their adventurous flavors! Highly recommended if you're looking for ice cream anywhere in northern New Jersey! Put this on your foodie bucket list! read more

Love their toasted Coconut! Great selection for dairy free (which my daughter appreciates). Not cheap but definitely worth it!

Ice cream is very good, good portions and very rich. The normal flavors are there, but they've also got off the wall speciality selection and seasonal flavors. Very tasty. 8 flavors of non dairy too, not counting seasonal, which is great for my family. Not too pricey either. Was very busy when we came but the line moved quick and the people working were enthusiastic and on the ball. The second room was set up like a miniature park where you could sit and eat. It was frankly charming and a lot of effort. They even had a picture of the dog it was named after and several options specifically for dogs. Overall a charming, fun place with nice people and great ice cream. read more

Beenies is such a hidden gem. Going places I haven't seen gone before, Thai Ice Tea ice cream? I have gotten so many pints of it, guests are surprised he nails the taste perfectly. Recently he added Dr.Darkness which is like if a mousse cake fell in love with dark chocolate and they celebrate with little tiny chocolate chunks. It is fun to combine flavors & see what my friends & family order when they go. I get sad sometimes when flavors go, but the core ones always end up staying. I loved Minecraft for 6 months for example, it is still there & great, I just like other ones or combos more. The staff is fun & seems to enjoy their job. Tony & Andrea - thank you so much for bringing your vision for ice cream to morristown. I am a sucker for local ice cream places ... and been to many all around the world. What you are doing is really special. read more

I finally got to visit Beenie's after it had been on my to-visit list forever. It was a relatively busy Friday night in the shop, so I went to snag a picnic table for my group while they waited in the line. There's a separate section in a downstairs area that has several tables, and luckily, I found one to accommodate us. I perused their menu online and saw that they had marked several gluten-free options, which was helpful. I texted my SO to order me a Chiapas cold brew coffee, which was an excellent choice. My ice cream tasted fresh, flavorful, and it was something I normally wouldn't order when trying a new shop. They also had a rosemary and olive oil blend that I got to sample, which was a fun flavor to try out. Beenie's is definitely a spot to visit while in the area. read more

Okay this definitively has to b the best ice cream ive tried in NJ. it has that real homemade, goooooddd quality vibe to it and it is just so rich and well textured without a hint of iciness (as it shld be !!) The coffee oreo is delicious, has this almost brown butter flavor to it, or something deep roasty, yummmm I'm stopping by here again asap to try their soft serve read more

Lots of both classic and unique flavors here. A small size ice cream comes out to $5 and it's a generous portion in my opinion. They let you sample flavors before deciding, which is great because they have a lot of flavor combos with fun names to choose from. There's also a cute sitting area on the other side of the store set up like you're outside on picnic tables. Staff is always friendly when I come here. I thought the honey lavender was the perfect flavor without tasting too flowery or perfumey (although maybe a little on the sweet side). I also liked the rosemary flavor! Something new, and a good sweetness with some dimension to the flavor. read more

Cute ice cream shop serving up a variety of creative and classic flavors. I tried two flavors--chocolate peanut butter cookie dough and sweet corn. Loved the chocolate PB CD. The base chocolate was quite tasty. Could have used a touch more peanut butter. Generous chucks of cookie dough. A winner. I'm still not sure how I feel about the sweet corn. I like corn and I like ice cream. I will say, it was as if I were eating corn in ice cream form. It simply confused the heck out of me. I do think I liked it, but I don't think that it's a go-to flavor for me. I didn't love that I ordered a pint to go, and rather than hand pack it, my server went to the back to fetch a premade pint from the deep freezer. In my opinion, that should be for people who want to grab and go in a hurry. Not for people who wait in line to order. A fresh hand packed pint would be a much better optic and product. Cute shop, with a service area and a separate seating area. Great place to stop if you're a local. Parking can be a little tough, but there is a municipal lot across the street. The staff was plentiful and friendly. The prices are fair and in line with most ice cream parlors--especially considering they're serving a higher end product with unique and creative flavors. Definitely a place I'd return to in the future. read more

If I had received this response from the owner first, I would have taken down my review. I totally understand following the law. Sadly though the owner attempted to write a response to me multiple times. The original response was similar but the he took out his passive aggressive tone. I found the original response very unprofessional which is why he probably decided to scrap it. I did not like the miscommunication that I could bring my dog inside other times but not last night. It was simple miscommunication that would not have gotten addressed unless I wrote a review. There should be a sign outside the shop maybe. I did not at all think anyone was "scared" of me the last time I came in. There is no need to be rude about it. read more

Every single time I've had Beenie's I've been blown away. Not only are their flavors super unique, but the execution is spot on. From their soft serve, to hard ice cream, to the cakes - they are all delicious. I recently ordered a birthday cake here for my husband and it was a fan favorite! The ordering process was super easy and was ready the next day :) If you stop in, do yourself a favor and pick up a box of their mini ice cream sandwiches made with Oreo cookies! Such a cute thing to bring to a party or a friend's house. read more

It was hot out and while I typically get soft serve, Bernie's flavors intrigued me so much that I decided to go for their actual ice cream! I tried the dairy free mint chip and the Black Cherry Amaretto (10/10 perfect amount of cherry and chunk) and even though I'm slightly lactose intolerant, the Cherry won me over! There was a short line (kind of confusing where it starts and ends since it's supposed to wrap around the pole but it's easy to get confused and just stand on the wrong side) the entire time I was there and the workers were very friendly! Also I'm glad I didn't want the soft serve since the machines were broken like McD's but I'd definitely come back! read more
