Ben & Jerry’s

I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door. The employee was very friendly and patient with all my flavor testing! This is a smaller shop, but unlike other reviews, I think it is quaint and perfect for the Green Lake area. I will stop by anytime to grab a scoop or more.

Awesome girl wrote «Happy birthday Asshole» on my ex’s birthday ice cream cake. It tasted wonderful too. Love having a good ice cream place next to the lake.

The service is understandably slow when they get really busy. BUT the ice cream selection is amazing and really, you can’t get better than 30 different choices of Ben & Jerry’s. The prices are really reasonable for Seattle, and the servings are generous!

It’s sad that my first Unilocal review is ice cream, I come here too much, but I love ice cream! Lol. This is the only Ben & Jerry’s in Seattle. There used to be one on Capital Hill years ago, but sadly this is the only one left in town.

If you’re nearby and need a quick fix for some ice cream it’ll do the trick but I can’t help feeling like if there were a proper grocery store closer I’d go there to buy a pint of B&J instead. They’re flavor offerings are pretty limited, a scoop is ridiculously expensive for what you get and the shop itself feels a bit claustrophobic. Again, if you were, say, at Zeek’s for pizza and wanted something sweet afterwards then this is a good option just outside the door but I can’t see myself driving or walking just to come here. You’re better off going to a grocery store to buy some Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and then coming to Green Lake with a spoon… still the ice cream is delicious…
Meh.

When the line is ten people out the door maybe stop frosting the cake and help the only other employee?
I don’t mind the price if it was good ice cream but it’s just not. The location has brought us back twice but we’re not going to make it a third time.

Greeted upon entry. Very convenient location right next to coffee shops, Greenlake park and other restaurants. You can sample the ice cream before getting a scoop in bowl or a cone. Very fast and friendly customer service. Great unique selection of ice cream, froyo and sorbet available. They don’t have everything on the menu, but the creative flavors makes up for everything.
Tip: Coffee coffee buzz buzz buzz is very delicious.

Went in last night (Tuesday ⁵⁄₂₆) as they were about to close. instead of rushing me the cashier was very patient and let me sample what ever I wanted. Thanks for supporting my ice cream cravings! The salted caramel is the bomb.

Well over priced and not tht big of a selection. One scoop each in their own separate small cup cost $ 9 dollars?! Like byeeeeeeee not even worth it!

I have been to a lot of ice cream places, and Ben & Jerry’s is right in the mix. Their large selection of flavors would make any person excited! Their prices are a bit high though, especially for not being a high end ice cream shop. Those working behind the counter are very nice and friendly. They let me try like 5 flavors. Outside is some nice seating with views of Green Lake. It is a good treat after a sunny day in Green Lake.

I can’t thank Ben & Jerry’s enough for the amazing work they pulled together at my last minute request. My fiancé’ was having his birthday at a nightclcub downtown, and the only way you were going to get ME to head down and deal with being there was if there was an ice cream cake. So, I decided to bring an ice cream cake, because why not? I was passed their cutoff deadline for ordering a cake of the largest size, so I called in and begged them to make the cake. Not ONLY that, but I also asked if they could put Chinese and Japanese characters on it (I had Happy Birthday in four languages on the cake). They said that they might not be able to do it, but that they would try their best.
The cake I picked up was the most beautiful, and most delicious ice cream cake I have tasted in a long time. AND they put BOTH the Chinese and Japanese!!! I was so happy! One of the Chinese characters was a little spaced out farther than it should have been, but I can’t hold that against anyone there at all because they don’t speak those languages! I was appreciative they made my cake dream come true!
I will definitely be returning here for my ice cream cake needs in the future. Of which there will be a lot. Because I love ice cream cake.

I really like this place, always a pleasure to have ice cream right! They are very sweet, very polite, even when they have a line going out the door during the summer. I couldn’t scoop that much ice cream every day, I think my arm would fall off. Lol.
I have noticed that the serving size has gotten pretty small lately. Which is a shame because of the amount you are spending is a lot higher then other places. I am the type to not go every day to somewhere just «ok», but rather go somewhere «fabulous» once in a while. So I guess it is a splurge for me and when I get a mini scoop of ice cream I get a Lil disappointed. I can’t order two scoops because then I feel stupid, lol. I know, the justification makes absolutely no sense.

This is a great little ice cream shop that offers a nice tasty frozen treat to enjoy while walking around the Greenlake neighborhood.
Pros:
— Fast service
— Wonderful quality and taste
Cons:
— The selection is not as diverse as the Baskin and Robbins used to be (before Baskin and Robbins closed down), but the taste is amazing.

I continue to be floored by the prices here. $ 4.55 for a small ice cream in a cup which is indeed quite small. $ 9.55 for two small ice cream scoops in cups? Wow.
The ice cream is delicious as one would expect. I had the Coconut Seven Layer Bar and it was divine. I also tried the Chocolate Therapy and it was wonderful. Very chocolatey.
The people at the shop are very nice. Those prices though!

A ten minute wait (only one other customer in the store), my server blew her nose in front of me (she rolled her eyes when I asked if she would wash her hands) and a tiny scoop of ice cream. The customer service was horrifying and, quite frankly, unsanitary. I don’t mind slow service, and I understand that sometimes we have to go to work to make ends meet even if we’re sick. Just don’t blow and pick your nose in front of me and then serve me ice cream.
I couldn’t bring myself to eat my cone. On my way out the store I threw out my ice cream cone and the rest of my Groupon punch card.

Yum. Late Night has officially replaced my long time favorite Ben & Jerry’s ice cream which was Cherry Garcia. As a matter of fact, after I tasted Cherry Garcia again, I realized i really don’t like it. Oh how my ice cream palate has matured. Ha ha! Aside from the obviously delicious ice cream, I love this location. On a sunny day, it’s fun to get you cone and sit outdoors across from Greenlake.

I don’t really eat go out for ice cream often, but when I do, I go to Ben & Jerry’s in Green Lake. (I’m more of a gelato fan.) Ben & Jerry’s ice cream always satisfies my ice cream craving and the employees behind the counter at this particular location are always incredibly-​above-​and-​beyond friendly, which, for a gelato-​lover, makes all the difference when going into an ice cream shop!

I’m glad they raised their prices. That means they make more money and I don’t have to stand in line behind a bunch of cheap esses. For those complaining about people not having patience with kids, work with your kid to figure out what they want. The counter staff were probably annoyed with you and not your kid.
Ben, Jerry, keep up the good work.

I keep forgetting how freaking delicious Ben & Jerry’s ice cream is. Thank goodness I have a teeny tiny excuse to come here a lot (child) and live down the street.
There aren’t a lot of flavors here, as other Unilocalers have mentioned, but they do have some exclusive stuff like Coffee A Buzz Buzz, which was AWESOME.
Please don’t advertise a flavor that sounds like it could compete with an orgasm like «Clusterfluff» and then NOT HAVE IT AVAILABLE. Really, Scoop Shop? Really?
They had a few cakes inside a freezer, and a very limited number of flavors of prepacked quarts (half quarts?) available, so if you are planning on getting stuff for a birthday or savoring ice cream later, CALL AHEAD or head down to Safeway or something, which offers a lot more selection in terms of flavors.
Positives: Allowed an adult to get a kid sized cup, gave actual kid a very generous helping of strawberry (although said kid took about 4 licks of his 4 dollar cone and we ended up tossing the rest), nice and friendly once he arrived for the day. Great outdoor seating.
Negatives: closed at the time it should be open (noon) and waiting with a 3-​year old for promised ice cream is tough, no calorie information.

You really can’t go wrong with Ben & Jerry’s. The ice cream is delicous (chocolate cherry garcia oh how I love you). Service is fast and friendly. They were even friendly on Free Cone Day, which coincidentally is my favorite holiday of the year. Sure, it’s more or just as expensive as buying a pint of the same ice cream at the grocery store. But if I did that I would just eat the whole pint eventually, which would defeat the point of going to the gym, and that would be bad. Also, I wouldn’t be able to have a waffle cone, or eat my ice cream at Green Lake.
Parking can be tricky in this neighborhood, but the store is right across the street from the bus stop for the 48 (and other busses too).
