    Vegan Coconut Almond Fudge Chip
    Temima N.

    I know Ben & Jerry's is a chain but I've never actually went to the shop to try the ice cream so I've never had a chance to try the vegan flavors so I was excited to try it! It's very good but it's a bit heavy for me. I started getting tired of it around half way since it was sweet. But I'd like to try the other vegan flavors as well!

    This location is in a fun part of town with easy parking. I found a space in their small parking lot with no problems around 6:30p on a Wednesday night. There was only one other person and she was there to pick up a pre-ordered cake. The two employees took care of her quickly and with a smile and then did the same for me. They made friendly conversation and made me feel like they were happy to be working there and happy to chat with a customer. While they didn't have Americone Dream (one of my favorites), they had quite a long list of many other yummy options. There are a few tables and chairs if you choose to stick around and eat there. Or they do have lids and bags if you want it to-go like I did.

    Milk and Cookies... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!

    I frequent the Pine Club next door, so depending on what time I leave there, I will make the walk over to the Ben and Jerry's store to enjoy a scoop or two. This location is in a very good spot close to the University of Dayton, and other restaurants. It's very clean, with many places to sit both inside and outside. Service has always been good. I've always been a Ben and Jerry's fan and enjoy trying all types of flavors. Milk and Cookies is my favorite to get. Seems like they don't sell this flavor in the stores like they use to, so happy they have it here!

    How could you go wrong with Ben & Jerry's? Well, I don't think you can. We have so much amazing locally made ice cream in Ohio, I think Ben & Jerry's is the only ice cream place that could come from the outside and still survive here. This location is on Brown Street by the University Of Dayton. There is on street parking, or for Ben & Jerry's there is a pretty decently sized parking lot in the back of the building. I've never been to a Ben & Jerry's "Scoop Shop" beside this location. So I figure most people haven't been to one. What doesn't one have besides ice cream? They have Milkshakes, Smoothies, and Ice Cream Cakes. You can also buy pints of their ice cream & Ben & Jerry's merchandise. They also offer catering. I usually get ice cream when I'm here but yesterday, I ordered a "Life's A Beach" Fruit Smoothie. It was super tasty and filling. The ice cream is amazing as you should know, and the prices are what you would expect. Not too bad. I will say that this location is pretty small, and they usually are understaffed. Yesterday when we arrived there was only one girl working and probably sixteen people waiting in line. It took forever to get what we wanted but that's not the employees fault. My other negative about this is probably because they are usually understaffed, but this place is always pretty dirty. There are benches out front of the store, and I think during the summer they may even have tables and chair out. If you go here when it's warm I would suggest sitting outside.

    totally empty scoop shop on a hot summers day with an equally empty display case. no customers or employees in sight. NOT a good sign!!!

    If you're a fan of the Ben & Jerry's pints in your grocery store, you'll be a fan of the ice cream here. It's the exact same (absolutely delicious) product with tons of flavors and chock full of tasty ingredients. No big shockers to report, so you already know what to expect. We arrived on a Saturday at about 2:00pm and the place was surprisingly empty. And I mean EMPTY -- it took a good 2 minutes for the one employee to finally peek around from the back and acknowledge us. I assume this was the owner: a middle aged man who acted like he was super busy even though we seen him doing nothing and oozed an "I'm much better than you and don't want to be serving people" attitude the entire time we tried to communicate with him. I asked for 3 different scoops in a banana split bowl and he widened his eyes as if I asked to devour 5 pints at once. He was slow getting our sundaes ready and was very skimpy on 2 out of 3 of my scoops. I asked for caramel sauce, and when he opened the lid he said that wasn't possible because something was wrong with it. So I asked for hot fudge, which turned out to be a huge glob that he just threw on 2/3's of my sundae. It wasn't hot or even warm, just thick like when you buy hot fudge in a jar in the store. A bit disappointing. It was clear this owner is not 100% on top of his game. The display case where prepared cakes, cookies and cones should be was TOTALLY empty. The umbrellas for the outside seating were sloppily leaned up in one corner inside the store, which was surprising since it was a super warm Summer day. The owner stayed in the back the entire time we ate our sundaes inside which kind of seemed like he was just hiding from us to avoid any attempt at conversation. Since there was no music playing, no other employees and zero customers we felt like we were dining in an abandoned ice cream shop in a ghost town or something. Very odd for an ice cream shop to be empty in the middle of summer, but I guess that's why they don't have a ton of reviews available on Yelp or any other social review site: this Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shop in Dayton just doesn't really care about customer service, and it was pretty obvious during our visit. But B&J's ice cream is always tasty, so that's one plus at least.

    Great LOCALLY OWNED ice cream shop. Low prices. Huge…read moreselection of soft serve and hand packed. Excellent fast service. So glad they're here.

    The Sweet Retreat is good, like very good, maybe even very goooooooooddd. So, yes I enjoyed it and…read morewe enjoyed it. Since it was Father's Day I treated myself to the Peanut Butter Heart Attack Sundae and wow, it was full of Peanut Butter flavor. If you're a nut for Peanut Butter, you'll go nutty for this terrific sundae that peanut butter sauce is amazing. They have about 20 ice cream flavors from Buckeye Fever, to Raspberry Sorbet and coffee to s'mores, it's really a good selection. They also have 30 soft serve ice cream flavors including the famous KI Blue (KI stands for King's Island, remember King's Island during their Smurf years?), which I'm totally trying next time for nostalgia reasons only. They have dole whip, I've heard their Ice Cream Nachos are very good (they have a cult following). They have slushies and smoothies and their rendition of the flurry, called "The Cyclone". Just walk up, ring the bell, grab a seat (seating is limited outside, there is no indoor seating) and wait for the staff to come who will order on a tablet and within minutes your order is ready. The price is good, the scoops are massive (look at my raspberry sorbet picture, that is the kiddie 1 scoop) and make the cost worth it. Enjoy this local of locals, it's awesome. Just wish the drive thru wasn't right next to the sitting area with no wall or fence or railing or nothing, with kids it felt a little unsafe, but hey at least it will teach your kids to pay attention. Sweet Retreat is sweet enjoy, check it out and enjoy...
