Ended my Sunday in the best way possible with a visit to Ben and Jerry’s! Hudson knew all the info we needed about the new flavors and double checked allergen info for our group! Thank you Hudson for the incredible service, how refreshing :)
Don’t bother buying the waffles, all of them taste like sitting there forever, and don’t bother buying the scoops, two scoops is priced higher than a pint in retail.
Conclusion wise, just buy from the fridge to avoid the scam!
Great ice cream and friendly staff!
Really nice staff & excellent coffee milkshake. Worth a trip from Miami!
Staff is great, location quite nice and my milkshake awesome!
This how the place for the ice cream should be
Amazing ice cream. I was hoping to have a greater variety than what's sold in the groceries near me. There were only 2 different ones. Gave a 3 star because the shop itself seemed a bit dilapidated.
1. Single scoop pathetically small, and expensive
2. Service slooow, 15 minutes to make a milk shake is too long
3. Their tip percentage calculation includes tax.
Super sweet sticky and delicious 😋. Had the brownie Sunday and highly recommend this treat.
Fast service and great ice cream

Great ice cream and the girl who took our order was very nice and personable. Only complaint is that it was a bit difficult to eat the ice cream with the flat little wooden spoon I was provided. Otherwise, great experience!
I love the company's political integrity. However: The sundae comes crammed into a narrow plastic cup, forcing you to eat it in strict layers: whipped cream first, then the top scoop of ice cream, then the next—if you can even reach it. It’s awkward to navigate with a spoon, more like stratigraphic sequencing than enjoyment. Why not just serve it in a bowl, as it's meant to be, so people can actually experience the ingredients together? And as for the cookie—there’s one tiny, half-baked piece buried at the very bottom, unreachable until the end, when everything’s melted. The whole thing feels more like a sequence of hurdles than a cohesive dessert. Also—over $11? That’s premium pricing for a subpar design. Also, no cherry on top? You cannot call that a sundae.
Disclaimer: We love Ben and Jerry's political stance: however… The ice cream sundaes are presented in a tall narrow, plastic cup - so you have to eat all your whipped cream first and whatever ice cream is on top is what you eat next. It’s hard to even get out with a spoon as it fills the whole cup. It’s claustrophobic. This is a bare minimum business protocol, just get bowls so it can be eaten properly. You also get one tiny undercooked cookie at the very bottom of the cup, inaccessible until the very end of your ice cream eating experience, making the whole thing a linear rather than a synergistic and cohesive eating experience. Ironically, it was called a cookie cookie sundae because you get two cookies but we only got one and when we told them that they didn’t care. You could also call it vertical eating experience rather horizontal. Also, it was over $11?
P.S.
An ice cream sundae is, by both ancient dessert law and basic physics, meant to be horizontally presented—a glorious, open sprawl of creamy delight. It’s a landscape, not a skyscraper. We’re talking wide, shallow bowls. Something where the toppings can coexist in harmony, not form a dysfunctional topping traffic jam on top of an ice mountain.
The whole point of a sundae is accessibility—you want to get a little bit of whipped cream, a scoop of fudge, a chunk of brownie, a cherry, maybe some caramel, and a bit of melting vanilla all in one majestic spoonful. That’s the sundae experience. It’s the mix. The layers. The blend. It’s dessert democracy.
But when they stack it vertically in some narrow plastic coffee-cup-shaped prison, all that balance is annihilated. Instead of integrated flavors, you’re stuck navigating a dessert in stages:
1. Top layer: Whipped cream suffocation.
2. Middle: Topping cluster traffic jam, all crammed into one sticky glob.
3. Bottom: Ice cream so densely packed it requires a jackhammer and a support group to extract.
You’re not eating a sundae—you’re mining for it.
Also, let’s be real: You can’t layer a sundae properly in a cup. You just get ice cream sludge down below with all the sauces sinking like culinary shame. And by the time you even reach it, your spoon is covered in sticky, half-melted goo, your hand is shaking, and you’re re-evaluating your life choices.
A proper sundae is supposed to look generous. Inviting. Like a beautiful dairy panorama. Not some vertically confined dessert monolith that dares you to find joy within its gloppy core.
So yes. Sundaes should be flat, wide, generous bowls of glory. Not tall, claustrophobic towers of sadness served in plastic regret vessels. Sundae rights are human rights. We deserve better.
The Triple Caramel Chunk is very yummy. A perfect amount of sweetness.
Same as all the others
