11 Best Ice Cream Shops in Bend

“Tasty treats, no food coloring, natural flavors, natural goodness. We enjoyed eating here, as the food tasted good. Unlike some desserts, we felt good afterwards, not sick to our stomachs. There were plenty of tables midday, though it's not a big place. Having two flavors together by default is fun. The server was friendly and let us try various flavors before deciding.“

“yummm!! always a treat for the kids. great selection of yougurts and topping and employees are always super friendly . And even with the new restrictions in places for business, they still run a great business--clean and guards in place.“

“Handel's did a fantastic job with a recent sundae bar for a wedding! I was truly impressed with their communication, work ethic, kindness, and customer service. There were so many ice cream flavors that it was so hard for the bride and groom to only pick three. Everything was delicious, rich, and sweet! I can't wait to try the Blue Monster next time I'm by! Would recommend to anyone and rate a 11/10!“

“I can’t say enough about the service at the Bend location. I am out of town across the country and I placed a cookie order for delivery. I put the address in wrong but Joe G., the driver called me for directions. I was in a conference so I could not talk to him. He took the cookies back to the shop and the manager Kristen called me. They took the cookies back out for delivery that afternoon and they were so nice. They helped me and I would give this team 5 STARS all day long. Great job and thank you.“

“Hot summer evening, I walked into Ben & Jerry’s with one mission: find something cold and unforgettable. Ended up with two scoops in a cup—Ultraviolet (yep, that crazy purple one) and Salted Caramel. Price was $8.50, which is definitely on the higher side (especially when I know the same size goes for $7.50 in LA or even Yellowstone). Still, I can’t complain—the flavors hit hard.

Ultraviolet tasted like summer in a spoon—sweet, floral, slightly exotic. The salted caramel balanced it out with that creamy richness and just enough salty kick to keep it from being overly sweet. Together? Perfection.

Service matters too. The girl at the counter was super sweet, quick, and clearly knew her stuff. That’s the kind of energy you remember. There was also a guy behind the counter who looked like he could’ve helped earlier, but instead wandered a bit before starting a milkshake. Maybe that wasn’t his role—but it stood out.

The place itself? Classic Ben & Jerry’s vibe—bright, fun, colorful. Outside seating with turquoise chairs gave me that relaxed, summer-night-in-town feel. Perfect spot to slow down and people-watch.

So yeah, it’s pricier than some spots, but when the ice cream is that good and the service leaves you smiling, it’s 5 stars. I’d come back just for that Ultraviolet scoop.“

“Ice cream is great! Atmosphere was great! The staff were absolutely amazing! If I wasn’t on vacation and lived here, this would most likely be my stop for ice cream! Thank you for the fabulous experience 😊“

“The gelato is super yummy 😍“

“Really liked it here. Had the basic burger and it was right on. Not a greasy, oily mess like Shake Shack and some other places. Ice cream was very generously served. Only downside is that it’s apparently closed today (Monday), otherwise I’d go back again!“

“Absolutely hands down the best yogurt place in town! Thank you for providing a fun and safe place for families to gather! ❤️ your yogurt is delicious and we all enjoy every moment we spend in your store.“
