    Marshmallow Sky (top), sweet cookies and cream and phishfood (bottom)
    Ronni T.

    After having an amazing dinner, my bf and i went to burn off some calories by walking along the wharf. We passed by and started to crave ice cream, resulting in adding more calories than burning them. The weather was in the mid 80s so it was a nice treat to cool down and to unwind the day. We went around 5pm and there was no line. There were 3 several employees working as it can get busy throughout the day. We got to sample a few flavors since it was not too busy. My bf and i each got our own flavors and got the Small (2 scoops) in oreo waffle bowl Top: Marshmallow Sky (pretty light blue vanilla ice cream with pieces of marshmallow bits, chocolate chunks, and soft cookie dough) Bottom: phishfood (chocolate ice cream with chocolate chunks) and sweet cookies and cream! Ice cream was expensive but not surprised considering it was on the wharf. Together for 2 smalls (2 scoops with oreo bowl) we paid $28. Sweet treat but not worth the $28. You pay for the nice views and the ambiance at the wharf

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Amazing service, ice cream is always delicious. Although there was a long line they moved very quickly

    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!

    Inside

    I visited on Free Cone day. There was A lengthy line however it moved quickly and I was inside in approximately 10 minutes. While waiting in line menus were offered and I inquired about the sorbet options this was probably the down fall because they only had two flavors of it! I got 2 scoops of Very Berry.

    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.

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.

I always get the honeycomb ice cream with hot fudge, whipped cream, and sprinkles. It's huge and the right ratio of ingredients. Also, they don't skimp on the fudge unlike other places. Note: The fudge isn't as sweet as other shops, which I appreciate. This particular location is small. Located by other shops in Eastern Market, sometimes there's a wait. For example, we went recently on a Thursday afternoon. When we arrived, a sign on the door said they will be back in 30 minutes. When we returned, only one person was working, creating a backlog. I felt bad for her managing it all on her own. Our wait ended up being 30 minutes.

It has an avant-garde vibe and curious furniture. The space itself, curated by Japanese artist Hiroshi Sugimoto, has an appropriate contemporary theme which echoes what's on display within. For example, right now there's a Basquiat & Banksy exhibit in the building. You get the drift. The biggest change is that the dark film that once covered the tall windows in the lobby is gone; all the sunlight that now comes in is quite lovely. This spot is a unique place to drink in some atmosphere as well as sip on fab coffee. The 2 huge, half-moon glass coffee tables with pedestals of gnarly wood serve as absorbing focal points. Dolcezza is a smart vendor to be featured here; they have top drawer java, skilled baristas as well as matching prices. Sometimes it's packed, other times not.

I was able to observe the baristas making the drinks and the quality seemed inconsistent among individuals. Milk was poured heavily. I ordered the coquito and it was practically milk instead of the expected Puerto Rican eggnog. The coffee was brewed weakly, so I was dissatisfied by the lack of fragrance and caffeine. It needed more warm spices and a nutty base to justify being one of the most expensive beverages on the menu. I would not visit Dolcezza again, even though it was convenient. I would rather walk nearby for a decent cup of joe.
