    Great choice after ramen at Slurping Turtle! It's a classic for a reason. Great choices. I got chocolate brownie in a waffle bowl and turtle in a waffle cone. I'll be back to try more.

    Oh how I love ice cream. I'm eventually working my way towards giving up diary completely, but until then I will enjoy! Getting ice cream here is more about the experience since this is the only location in Michigan. Especially being that you can go to literally any grocery store and get the exact same product. Anyway, I have visited Ann Arbor numerous times, especially the summer, yet I have never came to Ben & Jerry's. Well, in the dead of winter, I finally decided to stop in. There was only one other customer inside so I was glad there wasn't a line wrapped around Michigan Stadium. But why would anyone be crazy enough to be getting ice cream when it's 20 degrees outside. I am and it tasted delicious. I decided to get butter pecan because it's one of my favorites and I don't think I've ever had a scoop that I didn't like. The person at the register was friendly, and fast. I started eating my ice cream so fast that I didn't even remember to take a pic until halfway through lol. But I'll definitely stop by next summer.

    Small (2 scoops)  Bottom scoop is coconut Top scoop is the tonight show dough

    Standard ice cream joint. Very cutesy and cartoony on the inside :D Ice cream was tasty. I got a small cup, one scoop of the tonight show dough (which I preferred) and one scoop of the coconut (still good though).

    Easy, simple, and delicious. You really can't go wrong with Ben and Jerry's. They have so many flavors and a huge menu. It's a little expensive, but it's also downtown Ann Arbor so that's to be expected. The price of a small is the price of a whole pint at the grocery store. It's always a nice treat to have and you honestly can't go wrong with their ice cream!

    I'm not sure why they don't advertise their cakes as much as other ice cream chains, but their cake was decent. You can pick the design, size, and two different flavors. Pickup was easy - they had it ready before our pickup time. I also like getting my usual small cup of cookie dough ice cream here. The flavor is always the best in-person.

    If your in Ann Arbor during the spring and summer months it's hard to pass up this gem. I got the cookies & milk ice cream and it was amazing. I also tried the sweet cookies and cream that was ok. I would definitely check out the cookies and milk ice cream flavor you will not be disappointed over any of the other flavors.

    Came in on a Sunday about 6pm. Shop clean and a lot of room to sit! Excellent....really good service from 2 students I'm sure that go to u of m. Very friendly and accommodating. My daughter had chocolate in a cup, said it was delish. I shared the brownie sundae with 2 scoops of ice cream (only comes with 1 but I got 2 scoops for an extra $1.25) - 4 of us were sharing. The two scoops of ice cream were so yum! Cookie dough and Ben & Jerry's famous milk and cookies. Will be back! Check out my picture of the sundae!

    Personally Ben & Jerry's is an okay ice cream store. I feel like I have been to better and cheaper places. Since it is a chain the variety is limited and the waffle cones are way too sweet it gives me a stomach ache (sometimes). However, the place is clean and there are tables where you can sit (if there is room). Since it is on campus it is convenient but if I had the choice to drive 5 minutes off campus I would go to a different place.

    This review is solely based on my experience at the shop. The ice cream itself was amazing as B&J's always is. The shop is in an old building downtown which is cool, but it's dirty. The employee was very helpful but did not appear to be knowledgeable about the ice cream. I received a prank call while at the store. Someone called the store's phone and asked for me by name. She told me she was the manager and then proceeded to say highly inappropriate things and use profanity. I left immediately and watched my back all the way to my car. I will buy my B&J's at the grocery store. I will not be back.

    By the pint!

    Ben & Jerry's is of course all over the place but it just never gets old. I love their ice cream cakes, especially the ones with the brownie base. If you give them 24 hours they can make one with the ice cream flavors you wish. The owner is a bit overbearing and he embarrasses his workers all the time which I HATE. I think it's so rude and unprofessional and you just feel awful for the poor college kids who work there. Anyways, which flavors are good and which ones need recipe adjustments? -Cheesecake Brownie: eww! It tastes like molded milk with bits of brownies throughout. I don't think they got the cheesecake taste down. -Milk & Cookies: tastes like cookies and cream alright. -Red Velvet: disgusting. They haven't mastered the red velvet cake taste yet. Just tastes like nasty cake mix--but not red velvet-flavored. -Banana Split: there are chunks of frozen banana and strawberries which are kind of weird but the fudge sauce is yummy and decadent throughout. You really taste the bananas and everything else comes more as an aftertaste. -Chocolate Peppermint Crunch: mmm, it's basically decadent chocolate ice cream with chocolate peppermint crunch balls that burst with flavor. Yum! -New York Super Fudge Chunk: I'm a fan. The walnuts and almonds are delicious and mixed with the white fudge throughout--yum! This has a wonderful crunch, yet creamy texture. -Phish Food: there's something about the marshmallows that just make this heavenly. I'm not a fan of marshmallows but it adds to the creaminess, and the crunchy fish with caramel that bursts out make for an ice cream candy bar mix. -Half-baked: chocolate and vanilla ice cream with cookie dough and fudge brownies. While the brownies are on the dry side, the cookie dough is lovely--very creamy and sugary. -Chocolate Fudge Brownie: I adore the chocolate ice cream this has. It's so creamy and decadent. The brownies are a bit dry but they add a nice contrast to the rich creaminess. FINAL VERDICT: It's a bit over-priced, okay, a lot overpriced, but their ice cream is good--especially in brownie sundae form.

That's all I needed was to find more amazing ice cream in Michigan that I can't take home with me. I'm also never in Ann Arbor so that doesn't help I tried fresh basil ice cream. It was drizzled with lemon olive oil. The most amazing and unique flavors. They have butterfly moon, not blue moon. While blue moon tastes like fruity pebbles, butterfly moon tastes exactly like froot loops and is even the color the milk turns when you have a bowl. Service was friendly and didn't mind us trying lots of samples. How can you not when they're all so amazing and unique !!

I also got the double dark chocolate, which was decent but a little more lackluster than I expected. They have a huge variety of flavors though and it definitely feels like the kind of place you need to come back to multiple times to really explore the menu. Every time I walk by there's basically a line around the block, so clearly people love it. Thankfully when I actually went, the service moved pretty quickly. Definitely somewhere I'd come back to try more flavors.

There's about 8 desserts and a "dessert of the day" to make it extra difficult for you to pick.

I feel like if you like Rum Raisin ice cream, you'd like the flavors of this! It was pretty decadent but not in a chocolate-y way. I couldn't stop eating it! *Brown Butter Lemon Bar - this was the dessert of the day. Loved that it was topped with ample fresh berries and wasn't too sweet. The toasted merginue-y whip was a really nice touch too! They also had a tasty looking boozy coffee beverage, which looked bomb but we were too full!
