    My partner & I were down at the wharf for Valentines Day and thought we'd top off the day with ice cream. Ice cream is her FAVORITE guilty pleasure, and you can only get Butter Pecan in an actual Ben & Jerry's store, so here we were. It was a nice day so the line was long, but we were willing to wait. It actually moved quickly. The employees scooping ice cream were serving us with a smile which is always great! We both got pints. I got the Chocolate Fudge Brownie and of course my partner got the Butter Pecan. It was a good day!

    I met Ben & Jerry at an event in CA over 30 years ago. They gave me a t-shirt when I told them ice cream is medicine. This location is at the wharf. Even if it is chilly outside, ice cream makes everything better! Plus your ice cream will melt slower! Metro is just a few blocks away. There is a parking garage nearby. If you take metro, you'll have more money for ice cream! The employees are nice. You can get a cone or a bowl. Every flavor is amazing.

    We just came from Ben & Jerry's down on the wharf. Shante I server was super friendly, very knowledgeable and very patient.

    Ice cream is good but it will be a lot better if the staff helped us out when we need it. It may be a D.C. thing for staff to just be moody or passive as we waited in line to order ice cream. It was our turn to pick ice cream and we were sampling different flavors as it's our first time in a Ben & Jerry's. But when my fiancé asked about choosing flavors, the guy just said someone will help us and proceeded to help the guy right behind us, who was of a different race than us and I can't help but feel this is a discriminatory action. I was baffled that we were skipped and I stared the guy down. There is no reason for him to be unhelpful to us. I'm not one for confrontations and we were finally helped out by another staff but this staff member really did the bare minimum with no smile and curt answers. I guess it doesn't help that there is also a huge line inside the shop on this hot day. Everything is expensive in D.C. We got a cup for $12 and you can choose 4 scoops. We got 2 scoops of mango, lemonade, and strawberry. Mango is pretty good. My fiancé likes sorbet but I'm not a fan.

    Sunday. $11 plus $2 tip. $13 total.

    5 stars for the amazing staff. But, it was $11 plus a $2 tip. $13. Would you pay $13 for a chocolate Sunday at the Wharf.

    Today is Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry's and they were definitely ready for a crowd! Though the line appeared long, it moved very quickly. They had menus handed out to those in line so they already knew what they wanted and had plenty of scoopers! And of course, the ice cream was delicious! I was really excited to see their offerings of dairy free (oat milk), vegan, and gluten-free! Glad there are options for different dietary choices/restrictions!

    Ben & Jerry's at the D.C. Wharf offers a variety of tasty ice cream flavors in a prime waterfront setting. On sunny days, you can enjoy sitting on a water-facing bench outdoors. The staff is friendly, helpful, and provides excellent service. After exploring the area, I found it the perfect place for a treat. It offers flavors like Milk and Cookies and Chocolate Therapy, sorbets, and non-dairy options. You can also choose from waffle cones, shakes, and sundaes, all of which showcase the high quality of the ice cream.

But you can have a variety of toppings placed inside - ice cream, fruit drizzled with caramel, crushed cookies & ice cream and other choices. You can enjoy dessert or a beverage while watching boats, the sunset or activities at the Wharf. It is the perfect place to grab a treat. Check instagram or the web site for hours.

We walked up and tried to find line, asked a couple people, and were basically told there were two lines. So I got in the shortest one, of course! Right before I got to the counter to order the employee says to me "You are not in line. They are not in line," as if trying to call us out and shame us like we cut in line. We definitely didn't--and definitely didn't do it intentionally if we did. After that, I said "no thanks, we don't want anything. I don't appreciate being treated that way." I was sad to not get ice cream and even sadder to be treated so poorly. Owner Jason apparently overheard and came and talked to us as we left. I explained the situation and he agreed the line was confusing. He offered me and my friend ice cream cones on the house and I was not only incredibly grateful to be validated about the line, but also grateful to see how much this owner cares about his customer's experiences. Ice cream was great. And the concern about our experience was even better! Thank you Jason!!

When I branch out, the other flavors are good, but this is my favorite. Service: slow AF. We pulled up last weekend and the line was out the door. Only one employee was working and she was pretty slow. It took about 25 minutes to get a couple scoops. Portions: it's very interesting how the pricing is set up between one flavor and two flavors. And what I found, is that the scoop sizes are really inconsistent. It makes sense that they would be slightly inconsistent, but I got two flavors and there was about as much ice cream in mine as there was in my friends, smaller, one flavor cup. However, when someone was asking for clarification, the employee explained that it was two scoops. Anyway, as a whole of ice cream is good and I'll keep coming back for that reason. I just want them to be staffed properly. What I don't love is that people hop in, grab ice cream from the freezer, cut the line and get checked out, while making people waiting in line wait. It's unfair and annoying, especially when you're just waiting for a couple scoops.

The price was more eye-watering than mouthwatering. I suppose it's both a premium location and premium quality, but that was a small cup for over $10. As an occasional indulgence, I do recommend it, and given that it's a Baltimore brand whose original location is near the water, there's something appropriate about it being on the wharf.
