This has been our go-to Ben & Jerry's for many years. My latest visit was to pick up a birthday cake for my husband and mother-in-law. The coffee coffee buzz buzz buzz and dairy free chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream flavors were delicious in the cake we got! The service is always great. Highly recommend this Ben & Jerry's ice cream shop! read more

Ben & Jerry’s - Birthday cake with coffee coffee buzz buzz and dairy free chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream flavors - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

It was ok very mediocre can use some improvement in service and ambience. It was very expensive

Phish Food: This flavor was born in 1997 and is named after a Vermont improvisational rock group. A portion of the royalties from the flavor goes toward environmental efforts in Vermont's Lake Champlain Watershed, which is great since our current government leadership doesn't seem to care about the environment. The pint's description is chocolate ice cream with gooey marshmallow swirls, caramel swirls, and fudge fish. When I first began digging through my pint I did not see much of the marshmallow swirls. After mining my way through the frozen treat, I finally found a fair amount. The chocolate ice cream is rich and is complemented nicely by a school of fudgy fish that have a flavor edging closer to dark chocolate. Chocolate lovers should be happily satisfied with this one. It's almost like a double chocolate fudge ice cream because there's so much chocolate ice cream & fudge fish as compared to the marshmallow and caramel. Speaking of caramel, the caramel swirls do take the flavor up a notch, but they could be more abundant. Caramel is one of my favorite flavors and the combination with the chocolate and fudge reminds me of a frozen candy bar. The marshmallow swirl has a sweet/cream-like flavor. It is not simply marshmallow flavored ice cream, but texturally it is something resembling actual marshmallows, like fluff, and I love it! I wish there was more caramel & marshmallow, but overall I'm impressed. Doughboy approved Doughboy_Food_Reviews My B&J's Favorites: 1. Caramel Chocolate Cheesecake 2. Americone Dream 3.

Love this place! It was so good with lots of non-dairy options too. Everyone was nice and it was cute inside.

The staff at Ben & Jerry's were incredibly helpful and patient as I deliberated over which flavor to choose (no easy feat, since I'm very indecisive!). They offered suggestions, let me sample a few flavors, and even made personalized recommendations. Their expertise and enthusiasm made the whole experience fun and stress-free! And then, the pièce de résistance: the ice cream! I ultimately opted for the Raspberry Cheesecake Ice Cream cone, and oh my, it was love at first bite! Creamy, dreamy, and utterly delicious, with a perfect balance of sweet and tart. The crunchy cone was the perfect finishing touch. I'm so glad I stopped by Ben & Jerry's! The staff were amazing, and the ice cream was simply amazing. If you haven't been yet, what are you waiting for? Treat yourself to a sweet treat and experience it for yourself! The ambience was nice and clean inside but didn't pay much attention. My eyes were on the ice cream!! read more

A pretty standard ice cream shop experience. Unless you are already familiar with Ben and Jerry's flavors, it's tricky to know what is what. I also wish there were size options for the specialty items. For example, shakes only came in a large. I got Dirt Cup in a small chocolate dipped cone. It was everything I wanted it to be! read more

Stopped in after pickle ball with some friends. Service was really fast and staff were friendly. There was indoor or outdoor seating. A parking lot with lots of spots. Overall really good experience and who doesn't love a fresh scoop of Ben and Jerry's ice cream. read more

Because this B&J is right next to my favorite sushi place, I visit here quite often. The prices are decent, if not a little expensive. But you can try samples before having to order. I prefer the cup but you can get a cone and I've heard they're very good. I like most of the flavors and they also have dairy free options. There's outdoor and indoor seating but limited parking. read more

I was in need of a last minute birthday ice cream cake. I gave Ben & Jerry's a call to ask what they had available. They were super helpful on the phone! They had a cake that would work so I went in. There's a ton of parking available which makes it nice and easy especially during the Minnesota winter! I was able to snag an ice cream cake and they offered to write a message for me! To make sure they got it correct - they gave me a piece of paper to write it down. After only about 5 minutes of waiting, they got me my ice cream cake with a custom message! So pleased with the service and ease of this Ben & Jerry's! I will definitely be back! read more

Stopped by this location for an after-dinner treat and ordered a small phish food ice cream. They were out of the flavor at the time but worked to find another tub of it and open it fresh. I really appreciated how nice the staff working here were and then going the extra mile to find the extra tub of ice cream! read more

Visited Friday night. What is in the ice cream isn't listed anywhere and you can't actually see the ice cream. Ended up ordering an ice cream with an ingredient I'm extremely allergic to (after trying a sample that didn't have nuts in it). Had to toss it and take medication. Not fun. read more

Friendly staff. You can find everybody sitting on the patio outside for the summer. The location is unique to its placement, and they have art displaying the local area. Treats are on par and the staff were superb. I noticed a lot of people coming to get online orders, I didn't know that was a thing for an ice cream spot. There were more people coming to get online orders than people staying to eat ice cream and it was packed to the brim for dine in ice cream. I surprisingly enjoyed the music/playlist, it was eclectic. I grooved every song that played, I ate inside and the music gave flavor to my dine in experience. I'll be back to get more ice cream! read more

Ben & Jerry's is and always will be the best and most consistent ice cream, in my opinion. I love stopping into the store for a quick scoop on a warm (or cold) night! The kids working behind the counter are always nice and willing to let you try as many flavors as you need (but if you're like me, you have a favorite flavor and they always have it). Personally, I love a scoop of Milk & Cookies in a cake cone, if you were curious :) There is not much seating inside, but there are a few tables outside once it warms up. The parking lot is often close to full since they share it with a lot of other businesses, but I rarely have issues finding a spot - it just may take a circle or two to find it. I have also found this is a great spot to find the vegan pints. Since Target only carries so many flavors, it can be a toss-up if you can find your favorite vegan flavor. This location always has a freezer stocked with Vegan (and non-vegan) pints and will have some of the harder-to-find flavors which I really appreciate. There are not many vegan flavors to be scooped, so having so many options to buy as a pint is win for my group of half lactose intolerant ladies! read more

Accompanied with the beautiful views of the lakes close by Ben & Jerry's is my favorite place to go for a pick me up snack or cheat day treat! I have a specific order that I took through the winter! Looking forward to do this more often as it gets warmer outside! Their butter pecan is top notch and the pecans are still crunchy which is not common for most ice creams! read more

Ben & Jerry’s - Baked waffles cone and icecream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Dropped my ice cream cone on the ground like a fool and they replaced it for free. Gold star.

Came here for their #freeconeday on April 4 2017! This location is a great spot to celebrate this glorious holiday. FYI in case you were wondering - YES you can go back for MORE. Just get back in line for another free cone. Over and over again. They're not counting. Really, go for it. The lines were amazingly FAST! I wanted to say about 100 people in 5-10 mins. I got there around 730pm so there was only 5 flavors left. Not sure if they had more flavors earlier on in the day. They had a DJ all night playing music. Tons of school kids coming from their afterschool sports. Once you get your ice cream, lake calhoun is right across the street if you are looking for a nice view/walk. Parking wasn't too bad since it has a large shared parking lot with Whole Foods, Wakame, Noodles & Company, etc. read more

It's gourmet ice cream but too much candy in it for my taste. There are better ones and Haagen Daz suits me much more.

I was in the neighborhood today, so decided to stop at Ben & Jerry's for an ice cream cone. I ordered a chocolate dipped sugar cone with Carmel nut swirl ice cream. Not sure if their freezers were broken or what, but the ice cream was so melted that she couldn't form a scoop that would stay on the cone. She filled the cone with as much mush as she could, then put another scoop of mush into a bowl and placed the cone upside down in the bowl! Check the photo, this was taken 30 seconds after purchase! ‍ read more

I love me some ice cream on a hot summer day, or any day for that matter! Ben & Jerry have concocted some scrumptious combinations of goodness. I typically buy locally sourced and organic ice cream, but once a year on my birthday I indulge here! I can't even explain all of the options, but they are generous enough to give you a tasty sample of what sounds good to you. I personally enjoy anything with caramel, butterscotch or sea salt. Bonus-birthday week you will get a free cone or cup of your choice ice cream read more

Wow. How have I never reviewed this place yet? Ben and Jerry's is so good. Located right by the lake, it is the perfect spot to get some ice cream on a nice summer day while walking around the lake. The ice cream here is amazing. Yes it is a chain ice cream place, but they have amazing flavors. I have tried so many types of ice creams here, and I can honestly not tell you what my favorite one is because I love them all. It can be pricy depending on what size you get, but you get what you pay for. The ice cream is high quality and that is what keeps me coming back for more! The service is great too. They get through lines fast and the workers are very friendly. I cannot say anything bad about this place! I love Ben and Jerry's and will continue to come here to get my ice cream fix when I'm the area! Come and try their great flavors! You won't be disappointed. read more

Recently, I've had to take a break from dairy. As an avid ice cream lover, I was devastated. However upon visiting Ben & Jerry's, I tried one of their non-dairy options: coconut almond fudge chip. At this point, I've tried quite a few vegan ice creams - but nothing compares to this flavor. It was absolutely amazing. Often, non dairy ice cream will be a little watery and less creamy, and sometimes an overpowering coconut taste that makes you wish you chose sorbet. But this time, I chose well. I don't how to describe it except that you need to try it. I thought my no dairy experience would only be suffering but it's an ice cream I'd willingly choose even when I can eat dairy again. I'm incredibly impressed by Ben & Jerry's and my only request is that they make it pint-sized. read more

Ben & Jerry’s - The cone closest to the camera - coconut almond fudge chip. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I used to buy Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream like a pint a week when I first came to the States because I didnt know any local ice-cream shops. If I were to buy ice-cream from the grocery stores, I would still buy either Ben & Jerry or Haagen-Dazs. I came to this ice-cream shop a few times. It's a cute little ice-cream shop with a few colorful tables. The staffs are always nice and patient with indecisive patrons, me included. The trick here is probably the flavors that are only available in the store (scoop shop), but not in the grocery store. The last time I tried this amazing coconut 7-layer flavor, which is in store only. It was really good but a bit too sweet for me to finish all at once even just a small size. A major downfall, as Jen W. stated, is the price. You can get a pint of their ice-cream at the grocery store for 3 something bucks, but the ice-cream here is worth at least 5 bucks for a small cone. read more

I liked it. I had the special pumpkin pie flavor and it was tasty although at the end I kinda got sick of it a little bit. But they could use a little help in the ol' customer service dept. We waited for a while before someone came out to the front when we walked in, and then he couldn't be bothered to help us until he got his laptop and ipod plugged in... It is a bit pricey for ice cream but if you've ever made ice cream you know the good stuff isn't cheap. read more

I've only been to this location for the free cone day, but that visit went so smoothly that I can only imagine this is just always an awesome establishment. We came with a large group and were scared when we saw so many people buzzing in and out of the store, but we waited less than 5 minutes in line! They had such efficient workers (and delicious flavors, of course- I like cookie dough and the tonight dough) and I even got back in line to get another scoop. :) TL;DR - go here asap and get a scoop or two of the tonight dough read more

How can you resist fresh Ben and Jerry's? I feel lucky to live so close to this location. It's rarely busy except on free cone day when there's a line into the adjacent parking lot. I typically go with a cup order because I make a mess if I try to be fancy with a cone. My favorite flavors are anything with chocolate or peanut butter. Chocolate fudge brownie, tonight dough, chunky monkey and brownie batter are a few of my faves. We've ordered ice cream cakes from this location too which are handmade and absolutely delicious. read more

I stopped here yesterday for 'Free Cone Day' and realized I've never reviewed my favorite ice cream shop! Obviously you've tried the little pints that you can get at Cub or any grocery store, but imagine a whole store dedicated to that delicious dairy (and non-dairy) treat! They have a million different flavors and the employees there are very patient with you and let you sample some of the flavors to help make up your mind! You can get cones, milkshakes, cups, sundaes, and the classic pints there and all for a reasonable price! This place is the bees knees, they have great values and help out as much as they can (check out their website) and you can't really do any better than a free cone day... *thumbs up emoji* read more

I've never been a fan of their ice cream (although, I think Cherry Garcia is A-OK), but thought to try their stuff the other day after dinner. Also, I've never been to a Ben & Jerry's, so I wanted to see what the fuss was all about. The store is clean, and there are plenty of ice creams and cones to try. I opted to go with the toffee-vanilla in a cup. While it did taste fine for the first couple of bites, I couldn't help but notice how incredibly grainy the cream tasted. It's the first time that I can remember throwing away ice cream. (I know, right?) With so many awesome ice cream parlors in the Twin Cities, how could I possibly recommend this place? read more

They don't have a lot of flavors to make you a cone with. For example I wanted pistachios flavor for my husband but I had to buy the pint because they didn't have it in the freezer they scoop from to sell scoops of it. But the ice cream is delicious all of the flavors. The service was good here too. read more

Apparently I am an ice cream whore even though I haven't sold my body for a scoop just yet. I got a cravin' the other night for a little of the ole 'iced cream' and decided to swing by Ben and Jerry's. It was a summer night, people were milling around outside, the store itself was totally empty. I walked in and was quickly asked by 2 of the 3 16 year olds working there what I wanted. I didn't know. Honestly, I wanted to review the list of options and see what new, wild things they had. Within mere seconds, I was asked again by the third member of the staff what I thought I wanted and that I could try any flavor as a sample; what, does everyone know all Ben and Jerry's flavors automatically? Look I don't want a f'ing Cherry Garcia, give me a minute. I was now annoyed and wondering why I felt like I was being sold a used car when all I wanted was a frozen treat. I quickly found the list but with all the teenage angst/peer pressure, I panicked. I asked to sample the chocoloate/peanut butter something or other. It was good so I got a scoop for my better half. As soon as I ordered it I was being rung up at the register, but wait, I wasn't done ordering yet. I mean what if I wanted to buy one of everything at the store in some "Brewster Millions" type attempt to spend cash? I now felt like I was in some sort of strange contest with the employees, they wanted me out, I wanted to see how long I could hang around and keep them from texting their friends about the 'loser 34 year old dude in the store who was ordering chocoloate and peanut butter ice cream - as if!' To keep the dance going, I asked for a sampling of their cream and cookies (or something like that, I remember it's not "cookies and cream" and thought that was odd.) I was now over my staring contest with "Jimmy" and blinked. I ordered the cream and cookies or whatever and paid and left. Overall, Service - Great if you like it up your butt Ice Cream - Marginal. Pumphouse and Sebastian Joes you ain't got nothing to worry about. read more

Never bought the B&J hype even as a New Yorker. It went out of business on Grand Ave several years back. I guess this area isn't about to be ripped off by outsiders. Way over priced. It didn't last long. It was on my corner, so I'd break down and get a chocolate shake that looked like mud and had the consistency of liquid shit. Didn't taste much better. read more

Went after dark and the store was way too bright. The bathroom was obnoxiously bright. But whatever. I like that they have flavors that you can only get there and not at grocery stores, such as Coconut 7-Layer Bar. It was good. Not Izzy's Salted Caramel good, but good. Though my 10-year old dining companion did not like her Chunky Monkey and threw it away causing my 8-year old dining companion to take pity on her and offer her some of his Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (What? You thought I was going to share mine? Psht.) But $5.91 for a small ice cream cone? Really? I should have just bought a pint at the grocery store for $3.50. But grocery stores don't carry Coconut 7-Layer Bar, you can only get that flavor at the "Scoop Shop". And that's how they win. read more

One word: HEAVEN! Ok I gotta keep going this place is to good. Whether you want a big bowl of ice cream titled Cherry Garcia, Chunky Monkey, or Cinnamon Buns or an amazing refreshing drink (coffee flavors yummy) this place is wonderful. I mean it is ice cream... how can someone complain! The staff is wonderful and they let you sample every kind of ice cream you want... TWO Words..... GO NOW! read more

Thought I'd give this place a 2nd chance. This ice cream was called Late Night Snack and was vanilla bean ice cream with salty Carmel swirls and fudge covered potato chip clusters. One thing that I've discovered is none of the flavors that I've tasted are overpowering, they are not strong enough to get a real feel for the treat. The potato chip taste wasn't there, it was like having a fudge chip. Customer service was excellent. read more
