Ben & Jerry’s

Definitely on the pricier side, but it’s Ben & Jerry’s hello? I love their ice cream. I forgot how much a small cup was, but it was around $ 5 or so. Milk & Cookies and I Dough, I Dough are my favorite go-​to flavors. Like other Unilocalers, I do wish they were more generous on the scoops!

The Ice-​Cream was soft and the scoop was stingy. Definitely not worth the $ 16 for two cones we paid.

I generally love Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, but most recently when I visited this location I was very disappointed with their service! When I was ordering my single scoop of ice cream, I asked the girl if I could use a punchcard (for 8 single scoops in a cup or cone) I had purchased on Groupon and she yes I could use it. However when I get to the cash register and hand my punchcard to a different girl, she gave me an EVIL STARE! It was like she didn’t want to accept the punchcard, but I had been upfront about using it and it wasn’t like I was trying to avoid paying for my ice cream.
Next time I’m shopping in Georgetown, I’ll be sure to buy my ice cream at a different place!

MMMMmmmmmmmm

What a great store. Is there really any better way then to get over a broken heart than drink mimosas, no wine for me :(, and eat as much ice cream with enormous amounts of peanut butter? Nope Ben & Jerrys did not disappoint, and the staff is so very friendly.

All I can say is about the worst Ben & Jerry’s I’ve ever went to in my life I’ve been eating at Ben & Jerry’s since they started so I go in with my fiancé and I think the ice cream was spoiled I had some kind of cookie dough ice cream of some sort and it was rancid
I had one taste and ask for my money back and they declined I will never go there again

Melted servings! You are better off finding another store that honors the «ice» part of ice cream!
This place needs to invest in new freezers. Had one scoop from each of the two freezers and both scoops were melted when my cone was handed to me — on an evening where the outside temp was 65 degrees!

I’ve been here a few times and they are always super stingy on scoops and a lot of the flavors I like are not as frozen and creamy as they should be. If im going to go all the way to Georgetown I wish it was way better than just eating it from the my local grocery store.
They definitely have more flavors than my local Safeway, but doesn’t taste as fresh as it should be. I really love the speculous and phish food, as well as their new greek yogurt editions — light and perfect flavoring.
Also went here on Free Cone day, love how they are giving donations to back on my feet. Hate how the ice cream is even more stingy and melted. PlZzzzz get better freezers or something because I might as well go to Jamba Juice if I wanted melted ice cream!

Even though I’m past undergrad, I’m still all about free things… so helllllo, free cone day!
The Tonight Dough: Caramel & chocolate ice creams + choco swirls + choco chip & peanut butter cookie dough = DELIGHTFUL.
Staff is friendly and quick, and the space is cute and decorative.

Visited on one evening place was filthy, trash overflowing tables not cleaned,
the staff obviously did not care!

Went in to pick up a cake really quick. It took 20 minutes for them just to write on it. Definitely not worth it for a $ 45 cake. Really not impressed with the quality either.

When I crave ice cream at work, I always come to Ben & Jerry’s. This location is almost never busy during the day and I’ve always been served very quickly. The only down side is the ice cream is a bit expensive, but this really isn’t news. My milkshake top over $ 7 which is overpriced for sure but about on par with the rest of the ice cream places in the area and in DC.
Also, who doesn’t love free cone day?!

The ice cream is way too sweat and the service is bad. When I got an ice cream, part of it dropped and then the person inside scooped it up and gave it to me. Bummers…

Operation of this store is the worst. I went twice and both times left empty-​handed.
–4:30pm on a weekday: Hand written sign on the door reads that they’ll be back at 5pm. No explanations given. Didn’t wait that long to see if they actually returned on time.
–5pm on another weekday: No employee was at the register or visible inside the store so I stood there for 5 minutes, made some noise to let them know they had a customer waiting, and then decided I’ve had enough of this store and left. Meanwhile there were other people already eating their ice cream so clearly someone had served them.
They must be really understaffed or the staff are really unprofessional. I didn’t think I’d receive no service twice but I guess it’s my fault for bothering to re-​visit after the first red flag.
The service at the Alexandria shop is stellar and their operating hours actually reflect what is stated on the storefront so I’ll be reserving my Ben and Jerry’s adventures for there.
Get your game up Georgetown B&J!

My ice cream had a hair in it. They offered me another cone but who wants another waffle cone and the possibility of another hair. Maybe they should ask the young lady making the waffle cones to tie back her hair, based on the reviews doesn’t seem like the first time.

I’m not sure why people complain about the price when Ben and Jerry’s is definitely already not known for being cheap ice cream?
I have no complaints! I ordered one of their single scoop yogurts on a cake cone. The guy gave me two scoops which was a kind gesture although I ended up intaking more calories haha.

A great place to visit on a hot, humid day if you happen to be in the Georgetown area. Just walking in with the A/​C blasting is a much needed relief. However, when my daughter and I walked in at noon on a Monday afternoon, the place was listless.
A small cup (about the size of a kid’s palm) is $ 4.95, but a large is $ 1 more. Waffle cones and toppings are extra as well. The sand play area towards the storefront is an excellent idea for parents to relax and kids to play. There is also a cool Ben and Jerry’s Cow bench at the front for photos. When we were here, there was some kind of nationwide chocolate shortage according to the employee, so there were barely any chocolate options. Which was a huge bummer. If you’re unsure of what to get, samples are available via a tongue depressor.

Ice cream open till 11PM! Got a pomegranate smoothie because I just ate a crêpe before coming here. Awesome cow outside to sit on and take pics with. The sandbox is cute. A lot of souvenirs are sold inside. Lot of people are working, the sodas are expensive — Georgetown prices.
Don’t forget to get your Belly points!

Nice to have a real ice cream place still in Georgetown now that this place has been overrun with overpriced cupcake and «froyo» shops. And Ben & Jerry’s has the world’s best ice cream next to Breyer’s Mint Chocolate Chip — CHUNKY MONKEY! I love the banana flavored ice cream and the chocolate chunks!
Lines used to get extremely long at night. I wonder if they still do given all the «froyo» places probably ease some pressure off of it. I don’t like to wait in line so this would actually be a positive.
Delicious!

One important thing to know: B&J’s 3 scoops for $ 3 from 4 – 7 EVERYDAY. Go nuts.
PS They’ve got this cinnamon toast crunch-​like ice cream that’s fantaaaaastic.
