Ben & Jerry’s

I was in Seaport Village with my beau when I had the wonderful idea of getting Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. The nearest location to my house was closed down several years ago. We loved the ice cream, we knew it would be great tasting, but the prices are so outrageous. I know, I know, «it’s Ben & Jerry’s!» But you could honestly buy a pint for less at the grocery store. The service was ok– the staff were predominately teenagers, so I wasn’t expecting 5 star customer service.

I thought this Ben & Jerry’s was in Seaport Village, but it actually wasn’t. I took forever trying to find it with Google Maps, and I was never more relieved to see the ice creamery.
I wanted to check this place out when they were having the limited-​edition waffle tacos. This location is super casual and there isn’t much seating options, but it’s great if you want to enjoy the outdoors and eat your ice cream outside.
I found a nearby table to sit down at so I could keep up with my melting ice cream.
The workers here were friendly and accommodating, and I even got a sample of my favorite «The Tonight Dough,» as well as some other flavors, before settling on my flavors for my ice cream waffle taco.
This probably isn’t my favorite Ben & Jerry’s location, just because I’m partial to brightly lit stores, but again, it’s nice if you want to relax and eat your ice cream outside. I visited in the coolness of the evening, so I didn’t have to worry too much about having a dripping mess to take care of.

Showed up to get some ice cream. One scoop is as much as a pint in the store.
The workers were burping and screwing around the entire time we were there. We asked them there price and they just started laughing.
We saved our money and left.

How can you NOT love this place! It was my husband’s birthday and our friends asked we have ever had the mint chocolate chunk ice cream. We said no. He started gushing about how amazing it was and it was the best ice cream he has ever had. He sent his son to get two cups. I have to say, he was right on the money. Not sure how the service was but the ice cream is definitely out of this world.

Good Service. Low to Mid quality ice cream $ 5 got me a very small scoop. Very disappointed in taste and portion… not worth the visit. Have frequented ice cream parlors around town, and prefer Lighthouse and other locally owned to this one. Better quality, flavor and portions.

I didn’t realize there’s two locations in sea port village. The main one by the carousel is always packed with a long line. This location is across the street with no line.
We got TONIGHT DOUGH (with jimmy Fallon) in a waffle cone and it was almost $ 10. Never had ice cream cost so much haha but It is seaport village & I LOVE me some Ben n Jerrys ice cream. So rich & good in flavor! I want to buy a tub just talking about it (drool).

It’s a pretty pricey option, but pretty much the only option in seaport village for ice cream. Conveniently located close to the bay. I got a really friendly worker when I went there.

After a nice long walk from Seaport village we decided to stop by.
We got their white chocolate cover waffle cone with 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream and another scoop of chocolate ice cream on top. Total price ($ 16) so expensive. It was good. But not something worth the price we paid for. It’s pretty the same ice cream you get buy at the grocery store but for a better price.

what happened to this place?!
when I was kid, my parents and I would frequent Seaport Village /​this Ben & Jerry’s at least once a month. I always looked forward to our monthly trips; not only for the family time, but because it meant I would get a special treat. the staff was always friendly, and the ice cream-​to-​price ratio always seemed justified (according to my parents)
I decided to go today to try and beat the heat and enjoy a sweet treat. unfortunately, my experience was nothing like that when I was a child.
I walked up to the counter, and the employee had zero customer service skills. he didn’t greet me, he didn’t ask how I was doing, he didn’t even try and offer up a smile. he just took my order, maybe said four words TOTAL, and then proceeded to fiddle with the stapler than finish the transaction on a good note. like I said, maybe four words total said to me. oh, and not to mention he was completely careless in scooping my ice cream into the cup for me. there was ice cream all over the cup! unacceptable.
I ordered a small Tonight Dough which cost $ 5.25! that’s ridiculous! I could buy two pints for that price at my local grocery store. not to mention the ice cream was melted. I get that it was a hot day (give or take 100 degrees), but the ice cream was basically soup.
so, so, so disappointed.

I am not sure how this place is still around with these prices?
Are people not aware of coldstone, rite aid, I mean even ghiradhelli ice cream factory a few blocks over has better prices and quality as well!
I waited in a 10 minute long line, I could not even see the menu until I was up next. It is a horrible placement for the menu… just FYI.
I ordered a small sundae and the «famous» hot fudge core sundae. Okay so first: nothing is special about the hot fudge core sundae. It is the TINIEST sundae I have ever seen… for almost $ 10. I do not like whip cream so I asked for no «whip cream», AHA there lies the hidden secret. With no whip cream on top I was able to see what is actually in the cup! Literally nothing ha ha. I am so confused, they hide the baby scoops of ice cream under mountains of whip cream so you THINK you are getting a lot… but you are not. Also they do not offer peanuts, only almonds. What kind of crap is that? I just do not get this place. The prices are all $ 5 and up… shakes $ 8, sundaes $ 8 etc… you get the point.
In addition, the flavor of the ice cream was tasty BUT it was almost soup like when I got it. Almost as if the freezer is not set at the appropriate temperature? I will not be back– I am a ice cream lover and there are so many dessert place in the city to even waste my time and money here.

I was so excited to go out and get ice cream on National Ice Cream Day I jumped in my car and drove down in the rain to Sea Port Village just to go to Ben & Jerrys.
We walk up to the window and said we are here we drove through the storm just to come and get ice cream from you since it is National Ice Cream Day!
The response I got was not what I expected, the staff looked confused and had no idea what we were talking about? I was like REALLY!
I replied so does that mean you are not honoring this day?
they all just stood there shaking there heads no.
Long story short I ordered the Jimmy Falon ice cream it was ok I wasn’t jumping up and down out of my seat over it.
My boyfriend ordered the phish blend ice cream lol that was tasty.
$ 16 for two single scoop cones a little pricey for what I received.

While I discovered that the Americone Dream flavor is a really good one, I’m really bothered by the fact that they charge nearly five bucks for a SMALL cup. Plus, that, combined with the long wait time as a result of the Big Bay Boom crowds really didn’t make it such a great experience to eat here.

Always busy but Ben & Jerry’s has incredible ice cream. Hate that I’m lactose intolerant now, hafta take meds to eat dairy. Single cone of strawberry cheesecake ice cream, dad ordered single cone of vanilla. Location is in Seaport Village, perfect tourist destination or place to get dessert and hang.

Small Ben & Jerry’s shop in Horton Plaza. Came here for free cone day, of course! Nothing too exciting about this location, but props to staff for scooping like champs for this special event! Didn’t realize this was here until I went researching the nearest location for me. Thank goodness for jury duty that day– it was only a short walk away!

Sooo freakin expensive! My little ass cup was over $ 5. If I wanted a cone, it would have been almost $ 2 extra. TF is this world coming to?! It is good but I can buy it at the grocery store. My favorite is Phish Food but I can always find it around town so no need to come here. I’ll leave it for the suckers and the tourists.

They need to have an out side menu or paper menus that u can look at, the menu inside isn’t very informative of what’s inside of the ice creams and when u get up there they expect you to know what you want already, and also they do not offer you samples unless you ask. I ask for it on a cone and I said it 2times yelling and I know he heard me, because the girl next to him said that i want it in a cone, he scooped it anyways and put a cone on top what a lousy ice cream cone for my kid! That’s very fun! thanks!

We always stop by whenever we go to Seaport Village. There’s two Ben&Jerrys here, this one is the one closer to the Hyatt…
Service is always friendly… Scoops are large, though a bit pricey.
I get my kids vanilla bean… Super rich, sweet, creamy, and with a lovely vanilla flavor…
A bit on the pricey side, but A nice treat when out and enjoying our beautiful SD views and weather!

Amazing flavors!!! Always satisfies my craving:)! The turtle cheesecake is amazing when you also have it with a scoop of cherry Garcia!!! However, it’s hard to go wrong at Ben and Jerries!

Hubby wanted ice cream during our Seaport trip, so Ben & Jerry’s it was. Single scoop of Salted caramel Blondie on a sugar cone, sounded pretty delicious. For $ 5.25, it sure as heck better be the best tasting ice cream in the whole entire world. Outcome? Definitely yummy, but never again. From this location at least.

There were a lot of people since it was the spring festival. Line moved quickly. Staff super friendly. Was in and out pretty quickly.
Ice cream delicious as all Ben and Jerry’s are. It is one of their pricier locations I paid 16.00 for two chocolate covered waffle cones. Pricier than cold stone even.
Can’t beat the beautiful view in Seaport Village. You enjoy the delicious ice cream even more.
