Ben & Jerry’s

There are some quality scoopers here that I would recommend for any scooper aficionado.

Small B&J outlet — but got everything you need and the server was friendly enough. Can’t go wrong with Ben & Jerrys!

Reviewing Ben and Jerry’s is probably a little like reviewing McDonald’s — a little pointless since people have already formed their opinions. But I’m bored so why not — besides Cookie Monstah (which is unavailable year round and only available in specific locations), Ben and Jerry’s is by far my favorite ice cream downtown (def enjoy it better than JP Licks).
Thing is, it’s all about the selection. I’ve never been moved by most flavors but after discovering these two, my ice cream world greatly narrowed:
— Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz (Buzz 3X?)
— Milk and Cookies
Other pro-​tips:
— Kiddie size if enough for a quick fix
— Ask for the Flavor Fanatic card (10% off)
— Get a pint for more bang for buck if you’re have more than a small
— They have some of the best choc chip cookies
— Skip the brownies
— Ice cream cake made of any flavor you want (perfection)

Well… I was the only one in a 5 mile radius in Boston eating ice cream (12 degrees). I have now found the easiest job on the planet. Friendly service and great ice cream, as usual.

Can I just tell you that Sean and his crew catered the event AFTER MY MOM’S FUNERAL?! Hands down the best funeral I’ve ever been to. Eating cones encourages people to walk around and mingle; ice cream reminded us of happy times with our mom.
They set up on time, were cheerful, respectful and patient. They were pristinely clean and organized. I would be pleased to have them cater another event!

This is the Best Ben and Jerry’s I’ve been to. Guy with the awesome mustache goes above and beyond for his customers. I ordered a drink that was no longer available. And, yet, he did what he could to replicate what I have been after for five months.
This guy (ice) screams of awesomeness. Cow tip them well. They’ll make your day!

Ben & Jerry’s is a big chunk sort of place, but I’m a small bits kind of girl, so that’s not a bonus to me, but creamy yummy is.
If you want to eat your treat right away, they have three sizes — a single scoop child $ 4/​a 2 scoop medium $ 5/​a 3 scoop large $ 6. Alternatively, take it to go in the form of a pint — $ 5.50 for the pre-​packed options, and $ 6.50 for a handpacked flavor.
One gal manned the shop one Sunday afternoon. It was quiet, so she let me try all the flavors I wanted before settling on my strawberry cheesecake to go.
I was hoping to try the Wholly Cannoli, but I didn’t see it, so I guess this was not to be!
PS — This location is located a short walk from the Boston Public Garden, just on the other side of the Four Seasons — yes, there across the street right between Finale (a local dessert chain) and the Park Plaza Office Building entrance… just in case you’re looking for a cool treat while enjoying a bit of nature in the city!
*** another visit in March 2013 ***
Another day, another pint to go. This ice cream gal let me take a couple of cones with me for free. They don’t have a ton of topping flavors — no strawberry sauce, nut options were only peanuts or walnuts — but for 75 cents I ended up with a kiddie cup semi-​filled with mini m+ms to go.

If you want full flavor, you must have full fat.
Ben & Jerrys adds extra fat in the form of chocolate & nuts,
and the unforgettably full flavor of their ice cream is worth it.
Their Newbury Street location in Boston is small, BUT…
They offer enticing, limited edition flavors every month.
THE DEAL: They offer an annual «FREE CONE DAY,»
if you’re willing to wait in line for an hour (or two).
The also run occasional 50% off Groupon Deals!

Its kinda small and doesn’t seem to have all off the flavors, all the time.

Nothing fancy but a decent place if you’re walking around Boston to get a scoop of ice cream. They usually have a few flavors that are only sold at the scoop shops and not packaged for retail sales. Sometimes those are a nice treat to find.
This place is much better than Emack & Bolio’s next block over @ the Transportation Bldg.

Its all right. I dont lose my s### over this place. They have a few nice flavors and the cones are quite tasty. The staff is friendly, but there are better places to get your ice cream fix.

how can you possible go wrong with this place. Come on it is Ben & Jerry’s Ice cream a classic. The staff are great, friendly and hard workers. I enjoyed the selection and always look forward to trying something new which Ben & Jerry’s always offer. I drive all the way from the South Shore just to get some of this delicious ice cream and walk the streets of down town. It is really a nice cheap, enjoyable date and I highly recommend the oatmeal cookie ice cream it is to die for!!!

WHAT?
Today was free cone day, until 8pm. We roll up at 7:50 to see what’s left for the day for ice cream, expecting that they’d have run out of some things but perhaps have something left.
What did we arrive to find? 2 store employees who had already locked up the point and were far enough into the nightly cleaning routine to have the stools all up and the trash out in bags. We were not the only people there, either. A congregation of about 10 people had collected around the door, peering in and arguing through the glass with the employees that they were still open for 10 minutes… to which the employees replied with flippant indifference, waved us all off, and went back to their work.
Not ok, B&J. Not on free cone day. You can’t do that to a girl. I would have even paid for it, i was that excited for free cone day. I WOULD HAVE PAID FOR IT.
Am I disappointed that I didn’t get a cone on free cone day? Sure. But to be honest, what really got me was the employees’ attitude towards the customers. I know, after a long day, you want to get out and get home… but to treat your customers like they’re burdening you and it’s their privilege to grace the doorstep… didn’t seem entirely justified.
This was the low point of my day, though if this is as bad as it gets, then I suppose I am doing oK.

As if the owner isn’t cute enough, I just discovered that he does Trivial Pursuit Wednesdays, where every correct answer earns you a free coffee. Completely won over!

Came here to treat myself for my birthday… ice cream was same ol’ Ben and Jerry’s you can get at any other location. The girl behind the counter was awesome though. Funny as hell, stuffing her face with ice cream! She said she has worked there forever and hasn’t gotten sick of it yet. Ha. She was my entertainment and kept me company while I ate my ice cream. She let me sample a few different ones, including chocolate peanut butter swirl. Portions were generous.
In my opinion, the best flavors are as follows:
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl
Chocolate Fudge Brownie Frozen Yogurt
Half Baked
PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE!
Heath Bar
God I love ice cream.

I use to work in park plaza and Ben and Jerry offers much less volume than cold stone but more tasty ice cream. I love Cherry Garcia. Once a year they also offer free cones. From that event, I can find all my ice cream buddies :)

This Ben & Jerry’s is not currently accepting credit or debit cards. Luckily, the guy working behind the counter was cool with me running to the ATM next door.
The smoothie was good, and it’s your average Ben & Jerry’s, but be sure to get cash before coming in here.

I can’t think of abetter B&J flavor than Phish Food and the fact that they have a light version rocks really, really hard.
I love the ads for the ice cream cakes — 2 layers of ice cream seperated by a brownie. I have to try that some time.
I don’t like that you can’t be sure what flavors they’ll have that day and time. Overall, the very best ice cream still comes from Coldstone Creamery.

It’s B&J ice cream. It’s good. Try the Cinnamon Buns ice cream. Much better than cookie dough, especially if you’re silly for cinnamon.
Why don’t they have one of those holders for when you get a cone? I’ve seen people suffer the plight of trying to juggle their cone and the money exchange with the cashier. But then you walk out with some ice cream and you don’t care because sugar keeps you happy :)
