Ben and Jerry's is always a great visit for a treat. Their ice cream is top notch and they always have facilities that are more than adequate. This shop is located across the street from UM campus in one of the busier and more appealing commercial areas in Ann Arbor. On this stop, I'll note that the service was up to B&J's standard and the prices were what I would expect. My wife and I generally split a two-scoop cup when we visit an ice cream establishment in order to moderate calories and conserve cost, but mostly to allow for us to sample more than one flavor at a time. It also allows us to experiment a little with mixing complementary flavors. On this trip, we mixed an old favorite with a different option (for us). Chunky Monkey is a longstanding favorite for us but Tonight Dough was a new revelation. It's been around since 2015 but we have never tried it. Created in collaboration with Jimmy Fallon, it is a mix of chocolate and caramel with chocolate cookie swirls, chocolate chip cookie dough and peanut butter cookie dough. It pairs well with the wonderful banana flavor in Chunky Monkey. It was indeed a treat. I'll look forward to trying this combination again. I'll also look forward to my next trip to the UM area to make another stop at this particular shop. read more

Ben & Jerry’s - Marshmallow Sky - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

It's always so nice to see a Ben and Jerry's scoop shop in the wild! So rare in Michigan! I stopped recently to see if they had one of their limited flavors in stock. I was wanting a scoop of it in a cone, but sadly they didn't have it available (Marshmallow Sky) However, this location did have a freezer full of limited edition pints and Marshmallow Sky was available to purchase by the ping. I was going to purchase the pint and a cup to share with my boyfriend, but service was lacking. One of the 3 workers was pulling out a binder full of every ingredient and every scoop flavor available. So hey, if you want to check ingredients and if it's dairy free or vegan -- they at least offer this to you. We left with just the pint that day (which was a tad disappointing) but I look forward to stopping in again soon. read more

You can't go wrong with ice cream from Ben & Jerry's! We came on a busy day but the service was great and had the line moving quickly. There's tons of options & pints to go, the only downside is the price on the pints is really high. The staff were friendly and very helpful, the cones fresh and the ice cream delicious. There's not a lot of indoor seating so beware on busier days. Overall a good spot! read 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. read more

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). read more

Ordered online for pickup and it was a super easy transaction. Their website is super easy to use. I think the typical pick up time is about 15-20 minutes after you place your order, which is a decent time. My order was already packed and waiting in the freezer when I arrived in the shop. I picked up a pint of pre-packaged vanilla and 2 scoops of their Coffee Bzzzz which was phenomenal. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Ben & Jerry’s - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

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. read more

Ben & Jerry’s - ~Ben & Jerry's~ Coffee with choco chunks :) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Staff was friendly, but I had a pretty sad experience overall. First problem was that the milkshake was thin and frothy. I came to Ben and Jerry's for a milkshake, expecting a superior product because I know their ice cream to be superior--I'm a big fan. But when you pay $6+ for a shake that is too thin, that is a huuuuge disappointment. No bueno. Okay, here's my other complaint: I couldn't even drink the sub-par milkshake because of the stupid paper straw!!! Unpopular opinion, I know, but I hate those paper straws. I legit think I'll invest in my own reusable straw to keep in my purse at all times after this experience. Let's be totally honest with ourselves, paper straws don't work because paper is not water-resistant like plastic is. Sipping the frothy milkshake through the paper straw only lasted about a minute before the thing started to suck in air from becoming saturated with moisture. And then it completely perforated and was rendered useless because the straw is too big for the opening in the plastic lid. I'm two minutes into trying to enjoy the sad shake and now I can't even sip it at all?? I just paid $6.20 for disintegrating cardboard floating around in a frothy mess. Bogus. Ben and Jerry's, I respect your ice cream and I respect your employees. I also respect the ideal of reducing waste, but you cannot do so at the expense of product functionality. Find a different sized straw or a different sized lid if you want to keep paper straws. If you can't do that, then you can't successfully sell the milkshakes because people can't successfully drink them. read more

Your standard Ben & Jerry's store. Inside it's a little run down, not quite as spiffy as it started years ago. But let's be real. You're not going for ambiance. You're going for Cherry Garcia and Chunky Monkey. And they've got that along with a couple dozen flavors, fancy cones, toppings, and more (ice cream cakes!). Plus--pints to go! Nope, it ain't fancy but they're open late and they've got the goods. Thumbs up! read more

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. read more

Not worth the price, disappointing flavors, and the place was too crowded for comfort

We had Ben and Jerry's come to our daughter's wedding yesterday. What an amazing job they did. They brought four flavors that we got to pick, real whipped cream, caramel and chocolate sauces, and a whole bunch of toppings. We asked them to keep everything gluten free since the bride and I can't have gluten. The owner did such a great job. He even brought gluten free Oreos for us. All of our guests enjoyed having ice cream sundaes and raved about how delicious it was. The dairy free strawberry marshmallow was a big hit. I highly recommend having Ben and Jerry's come to any big event! read more

First time... Yes! Hey it isn't my fault there isn't any location closer to where I stay. There were some weird selection but lucky they don't mind give you free sample -- hey I could have gotten full of the sample. :) I tried the "PHISH FOOD"...which was basically chocolate ice cream with chocolate fish shaped pieces inside. (Woo it cost like $4.50 for a small) You be the JUDGE!!! read more

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. read more

Back where I live, we don't have Ben & Jerry's scoop shops. That means that in order to get our Cherry Garcia, we would have to make the trip to the grocery store, buy an entire pint, and then fail to control ourselves as we devour the whole carton. Repeat maybe a couple of times a month. Well, not only does Ann Arbor's Ben & Jerry's let you buy smaller scoops of ice cream, they also have other treats like sundaes and shakes, not to mention way more flavors than the local grocery store! It's also open late at night, and, yes, you can still buy ice cream by the pint. The service at this location is pretty good. The only thing is that at night, when a lot of college students are coming for their late night dessert runs, the line can get pretty backed up. However, the servers always try their best to keep the line moving and give everyone their ice cream! Prices feel a little more than some other ice cream places in the area, especially given the size of their scoops are smaller compared to Blank Slate or Washtenaw Dairy. Because it's Ben & Jerry's, you don't quite get that unique, homemade, local feel that you get from other places. With that said, however, you know that you'll still be getting quality ice cream. I mean, it's Ben & Jerry's, two of the most recognized men who share a special place in America's heart, right next to Colonel Sanders and Abraham Lincoln. read more

We went to Ben and Jerry's on state yesterday for some ice cream and my mom ordered a 2 scoop sugar cone ice cream and dropped it on the floor before even tasting it and ended up having to throw it away. As we were walking out the owner who goes by the name Matt asked my mom what flavor ice cream she had gotten and gave her a new one free of charge. I will definitely be coming back and bringing my friends due to the kind gesture. Thanks Matt! :) read more

Great customer service from the owner! He went above and beyond what most business owners would do. Thank you.

I left here so disappointed on Saturday I don't know how I'll recover. Ben and Jerry's has always been the bomb.com to me, so when we chose B&J over froyo I thought it was a super safe bet. We came because of their new milk and cereal flavors, feeling adventurous enough to try it. We walk in and while relatively not busy, I couldn't help but notice how dirty everything was; all the tables, the floors, everything. I get my usual sprinkles waffle cone and got scoops of the Cocoa Loco (think cocoa pebbles) and Totally Baked (brownie and choco chip cookie dough). They sounded amazing but both flavors fell flat. Cocoa Loco was too milky flavored with a really odd texture, and the Totally Baked was really lacking in both brownies and cookies. I couldn't help shake that something tasted off...which I figured out was the waffle cone. It tasted reminiscent of dish soap; not even joking. Did I still eat every ounce of it? Yes. Was it worth over 6 bucks? No. 3 stars because from past experiences I know they are better than this. read more

Ben & Jerry’s - Cocoa loco and totally baked...mediocre. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

The owner Matthew went above and beyond for my daughter's last minute birthday ice cream cake, and I can't say thanks enough. I understand this isn't usually feasible, and that we lucked out, but I also understand someone worked over to make it happen. Plus it tasted fabulous, no corners were sacrificed. Thanks again! read more

Ambience is nice and ice cream is legendary of course, but if you do the math you get more ice cream per dollar if you buy their carton rather than pure scoops, and the target across the street sells Ben and Jerry's for a fraction of the price they have in store at this place. read more

When I have ate Ben and Jerry's in the past, it was always on a pint from the local store. Never was i impressed, then I went to the actual ice cream shop. In the actual shop they have about 20-25 flavors along with the pints and various other things ( very similar to Baskin robins). They also can give you multiple scoops for whatever size cup u order (best flavor is milk and cookies ) and nice size portions. Overall it is not no cold stone but it is in the convo for second best in the area. read more

I love ice cream and I'm pretty critical when it comes to quality and taste. Ben and Jerry's prides itself in having high standards for its ingredients (such as fair trade sourcing and dairy from cows not treated with RBGh). This shall be my go-to ice cream spot in town! Oh service was friendly and welcoming as well! Bonus points for that! read more

Everyone knows about the ice cream so this review is just about the store and staff. As a former ice-cream store employee (Baskin-Robins) the first I do when sitting foot in any ice cream is the sniff-test (which incidentally is also a good way to pick out a nursing home). Ben & Jerry passes with flying colors as the entire store is fragrant with the smell of freshly made waffle cones. The staff are super friendly and on hand to help with giving out samples. In fact, I was encouraged to sample beyond the 3-4 flavors I already tried. Love the new milk and cookies flavor! And if you join their b-day club, its free cone and $3 off hand-packed pint of ice cream, so enjoy! read more

This is a bustling area right near the Michigan campus. We do not have a Ben And Jerry's in Canada (we just have the ice cream in Walmart) so I wanted to say I have been to one. Pretty standard ice cream, I like Baskin Robins chocolate Chip Cookie Dough a lot better. I also tried the Pumpkin Cheesecake Ice-cream and it tasted like Pumpkin and not Cheesecake. I am happy I made the stop in to a Ben & Jerry's though. read more

For a Ben and Jerry's it is pretty good. The staff are always friendly and patient with the ordering process. Good selection of cakes and ice cream in the tubs in the freezer, too. The ice cream is soft and reliably comforting. That being said, it is somewhat filthy. Just look at the tables you're sitting at. No one really wipes up the grime or stray crumbs from the ice cream cones. Four stars because no one cares too much, it's a good place to remind you of carefree summer days as a kid, and we all know those were filled with dirt. Just take the ice cream to go if you care about the filth. read more

Nothing wrong with the ice cream. It's Ben & Jerry's, some of the best ice cream out there. No problems there. The place is a little scummy. You can tell it's where drunk college kids just go to get ice cream and screw around. The tables aren't really all that clean, and good lord, the chairs are uncomfortable. I'd much rather prefer to get my ice cream and then go eat it somewhere else. read more

I never thought I would prefer another ice cream to Ben and Jerry's but when they moved next door to Stucchi's I found out: servings are smaller, ice cream is no creamier or tastier, and prices are higher at B&Js. Too bad. Stucchis is always much more crowded, but the counter help is also nicer there. So my long jealousy of my sister who lives in a town that had B&J first was for nothing! (anyway B&J in her town isn't even there any more.) read more

Friendly man behind the counter didn't catch his name but he made great recommendations and offered free samples. Great variety of flavors.

How can you ignore the tasteful bliss of Ben & Jerry's? This isn't grandma and grandpa's ice cream parlor. The flavors are great and unique. Even if you like the basics you can find delicious vanilla or chocolate. However, you really need to explore. Try americone dream in honor of Steven Colbert or any other delicious concoction. read more

I like the shakes. :) The blueberry vanilla graham Greek frozen yogurt is really good too!

Solid four stars. It's a chain, so if you've been you know. Good location downtown in the thick of things. Few tables inside, as well as outdoors when the weather's nice. I had a great waffle cone with strawberry today. I'm really writing this review for service. It's graduation weekend and downtown Ann Arbor is jam-packed. The guy behind the counter was by himself cause his co-worker bailed and wasn't answering calls. But he still held it together pretty well. He didn't appear rude and angry and tried his best to quickly get everyone's orders. He had to run between making fresh waffle cones, scooping ice cream and running the cash register. It's a great example of customer service in hard conditions! read more

I'm a big advocate of late-night dessert, and had a great experience at Ben & Jerry's. I visited this location with a good friend of mine an hour prior to closing, since we were both craving ice cream. The place was empty when we arrived, which gave us ample time to look around. There's plenty of space, with an extended serving counter and series of freezers. We had a great time looking through the available flavors, which included favorites like 'AmeriCone Dream' and 'Phish Food'. We each ordered a three-scoop cup, and were happily surprised by how much was crammed inside. Our server was really amicable, and gave advice on which flavors we might enjoy after we answered a few questions. He also gave us the chance to sample some of the flavors, which made our decision easier. I ended up paying a little under $6 for the cup, which is definitely affordable. Interestingly, the pints in the freezer are similarly priced, so you might actually be better off snagging one of those. Overall, this is a great place to visit, especially if you want to snag some late-night dessert! read more

Ben & Jerry’s - Three scoops! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

It's a mediocre but slightly overpriced for ice cream. I would go here if you LOVE a particular flavor of Ben and Jerry's, It's definitely worth a try, but it's a bit of a rip-off.. I personally love the Phish Food flavor. It has: Dark chocolate fish, caramel, and marshmallow fluff. It's delicious! If you're a cookie dough lover: The Half Baked flavor is also great. It is chocolate and vanilla ice cream, with swirls of brownie batter and chocolate chip cookie dough. Lastly- The Cherry Garcia is also pretty good- It is chocolate covered cherries with fudge flakes in vanilla ice cream. Overall, I'd say it's good for a try, but not something I would say, stay home with a pint. It's a better deal. read more
