Ben & Jerry’s

You can’t be a Vermonter and not love Ben & Jerrys! Stopped in here after a delightful dinner for that little something sweet and they certainly deliver. In a league of their own with ice cream, decision making can be difficult while your smell sense is overloaded with the sweetness that’s in the air here. The staff is always super friendly and offer to give samples of any of the flavors until you find just the right one. My recommendation is that you take advantage of this if it’s your first time — however, veteran experience says, don’t fill up on samples; commit to one since you know they are all going to be super good! I went with the spectacular speculoos (bring on they cookie butter) in the kid size and my partner got two scoops of chocolate therapy on a chocolate cone. (Chocolate much??) the storefront is ideally located on the corner of Church Street and Cherry Street. (Insider tip for a great touristy photo, look at the street sign, and above ‘cherry street’ there is a little sign that says ‘Garcia’ for one of Ben and Jerrys favorite flavors, cherry Garcia!)

Ben and Jerry’s scoop shops are pretty amazing stop on a nice warm summer night after browsing around church street for a while. if you don’t mind waiting in line for 5 – 15 minutes that is!
Last time I went was this summer after a tiring uphill walk from the echo center, we enthusiastically decided to stop in before heading home. I got two types of chocolaty ice cream with cookies in it! My favorite (chocolate therapy) and cookies and milk in a waffle cone! It was a big cone and lots of ice cream. Got a vanilla milkshake for my man which he thought was okay, it was a little too milky for him, not thick enough!
Will stop by again sometime this summer! I would totally love one of the birthday cakes for my birthday in april tho!

Yum. The new salted brownie ale milkshake is to die for. As well as every other flavor. Friendly staff and good amount of seating. Definitely stop here on the reg.

What can ever go wrong at Ben & Jerry’s?
You walk in and you can smell the freshly waffle cones. It took all will power to not get the waffle filled with all the ice cream it could hold. :-)
Kids /​1 scoop of Save Our Swirled (save our world). Raspberry Ice Cream with Marshmallow & Raspberry Swirls & Dark & White Fudge Ice Cream.
It’s Ben & Jerry’s message on climate change you can’t ignore (or can’t not eat). If it’s melted, it’s ruined.

This is where I had lunch today… three scoops of regular chocolate ice cream in a bowl. Mmm…
Cost with tax: $ 5.35
Worth every penny.
Church Street was vibrant with people. No line at this place though. I guess I got lucky.

Love this place — it is a staple of Burlington, head in early in the afternoon to avoid a long wait!

No trip to Burlington would be complete with out Ben and Jerry’s. The store is huge and the line was out the door but moved quickly. They also offer smoothies, shakes, and sundaes. We settled on coconut seven layer bar and hazed and confused. Both excellent. They also have a good selection of ice cream cakes.

Great ice cream. Helpful staff. Wanted more souvenirs to purchase. Website was misleading and we thought the factory would be here.

How can you not love B &J’s? Delicious, indulgent ice cream in all kinds of crazy flavors (with new ones always coming out) and a positive ethos to boot! Definitely a business I enjoy supporting. The scoop shop in Burlington had friendly staff, free tastings, a quick-​moving line, generous scoops, and outdoor seating. Yummmm…

Listen up. Frozen yogurt does not mean you’re making sacrifices. The banana peanut butter flavor by B&J is out of this world. I would choose it over their chunky, gooey chocolatey, funny name whatever any day. As for this particular location, it doesn’t get much better than this — right in the heart of Church Street Marketplace in downtown Burlington with Lake Champlain only a few blocks away. To top it all off they offer outdoor seating and the line moves quickly.
One more note: they sell ice cream cakes. And this funny new creation called a Brrr-​rito (waffle cone rolled into a burrito shape and stuffed with ice cream)

It’s Ben and Jerry’s. It’s Church Street. The two go together like chocolate and peanut butter. Like coffee and toffee. Like vanilla and cookie dough … hmmmm… Seems like B&J know how to mix their ice creams well!
When I lived in Vermont, we never tired of going to Ben and Jerry’s. Some hints:
— Ask for a special shopper card. You’ll get 10% off all scoop shop purchases from April to April of the next year. Then the next year — ask for another
— at a scoop shop, you can get a pint of any flavor. If they don’t have it, they will pack it for you
— once a year, it is free scoop day! The line will be long, but it will go quick!
— the ice cream at the scoop shops are more fresh than that in the stores — (not that the stores is bad — I am still eating B&J here in Indianapolis!)

I can’t review this flagship yet but I love the ice cream and I can’t believe I’m doing the first review! I’ll mod this ASAP in a few when I get a cone!
…Later: yes, it was delicious! I had a cone of Cherry Garcia and came with a group of friends. The atmosphere just puts a smile on your face. Ya gotta admit, people are going to be happy in an ice cream place. Especially one with such light hearted founders:
The service was quick, in and out fast.

Always a good place to go when you are strolling down church street. Park on the Burlington parking lot on cherry street for a free 2hr slot.

I’ve been eating B&J’s since the 80’s. I used to like it better, it’s not the same since it was bought out by Unilever. That being said, this is a fun shop and even if I prefer more «home made» ice cream now, I still eat a pint of B&J’s every month or two!

There is always a line in the summer. And B&J’s still gives back a lot to the Vermont community. There are very few summer festivals where you can’t get free B&J’s ice cream. Makes it hard for small competitors, I imagine, but B&J’s isn’t out to kill competition, just promote the community. Good vibe. I wish it had the simpler ingredients of yesteryear. I greatly miss the Wavy Gravy…

Haven’t had a bad visit here yet! Every time I come here, all the staff have been very patient and accommodating. The first time I ordered a mini Vermonster and one of my friends had nut allergies. They weren’t disrespectful of her allergies and even went downstairs to get a new scoop of ice creams that didn’t touch any of the ones that already had nuts in it.
Also, if you have carshare VT, you can show your FOB device and get 10% off! There’s no minimum on credit card so don’t worry about getting a kids size (one scoop) and pay $ 2.50 for it.
Don’t forget to get some samples if you can! Hope you all have a great time like I did/​do!

Girlfriend and I came on a Saturday night after dinner. I’ve been here a few times awhile ago, but it’s never been this packed and I’ve never enjoyed it as much as this time. Even though it was raining, the place was packed. I love how they let you try a large spoonful of whatever ice cream you’re thinking of getting so definitely SAMPLE BEFORE YOU ORDER! The one gripe I have is the cleanliness, the table we sat at was disgusting due to ice cream drippings but I can forgive that since it’s hard to be that clean when eating ice cream.
THE ICE CREAM CONE:
#2 scoops of the strawberry cheesecake in a waffle cone, which is as delicious as it sounds. I expected it to be really heavy, but it wasn’t at all. The flavors burst into a mini foodgasm in my mouth. I don’t ever remember enjoying Ben & Jerry’s this much, guess it was all in the time you go and flavor you get. The cone was a little on the sweet side for me, but I don’t tend to like things that’re too sweet so keep that in mind. Great choice for someone like me who usually don’t get super sweet desserts.
Perfect date spot even when the weather gets colder. I can’t wait to go back now! I can officially say I like Ben & Jerry’s ice cream now.

Went here during festival of fools and it was super busy, but the staff were still really friendly and happy to serve you. We got a shake and it was super tasty. Also picked up a t-​shirt and an ice cream scoop. They have a small souvenier shelf at the back. They have a few tables to eat your ice cream.

What do you call a cow that just gave birth? DE calfinated boom ok jokes aside this place is awesome. The mecca of icecream and to know the Ben and Jerry’s story is to love the story. Two chubby kids make friends in 7^th grade and go on to be two chubby guys that change the world. The tour was fun and def worth it. The tour guy def was having fun and most likely lives in a neighborhood that says «do not stay off the grass» if you know what I’m sayin.
Great fun great ice cream.

This is the place to go if you’re looking to shred your daily-​calorie-​intake budget and spend the last 5 or ten bucks in your wallet.
Incredibly dense & creamy ice cream like no other. What else is there to say? Have fun!

I entered this shop and reverted back to an excited 8-​year-​old girl, starry eyes dazzled by all the delish choices. Despite what others have said I don’t think it was touristy — I think it was quintessential B&J’s; bright colourful and full of joy. The store sits perfectly amongst the hustle and bustle of Burlington’s Church Street and there is nothing better than people-​watching with a cup of sugary icey goodness to tuck into.
Personally I found the choices better then those available at the factory in Waterbury, which was strange to me… all it was missing was the ‘resurrected’ flavour.
I love you Ben & Jerry’s xx!
