The ice cream from Ben & Jerry's never disappoints. I usually get the vanilla or cookie dough varieties, but this time I thought I would try chocolate. I got both a scoop of chocolate and a scoop of chocolate fudge brownie (both with sugar cones), and they were very rich and creamy. I really like getting ice cream from the Wharf location since it is nice and clean, and has a friendly staff. Plus, customers can chill and relax with the beautiful view of the marina as the backdrop. read more

After having an amazing dinner, my bf and i went to burn off some calories by walking along the wharf. We passed by and started to crave ice cream, resulting in adding more calories than burning them. The weather was in the mid 80s so it was a nice treat to cool down and to unwind the day. We went around 5pm and there was no line. There were 3 several employees working as it can get busy throughout the day. We got to sample a few flavors since it was not too busy. My bf and i each got our own flavors and got the Small (2 scoops) in oreo waffle bowl Top: Marshmallow Sky (pretty light blue vanilla ice cream with pieces of marshmallow bits, chocolate chunks, and soft cookie dough) Bottom: phishfood (chocolate ice cream with chocolate chunks) and sweet cookies and cream! Ice cream was expensive but not surprised considering it was on the wharf. Together for 2 smalls (2 scoops with oreo bowl) we paid $28. Sweet treat but not worth the $28. You pay for the nice views and the ambiance at the wharf read more

Came in during lunch and it was busier than expected. Milan was the only working but was handling everything well! While multitasking she maintained great customer service and made it look effortless. The ice cream tasted amazing of course and was perfect for the day. read more

My partner & I were down at the wharf for Valentines Day and thought we'd top off the day with ice cream. Ice cream is her FAVORITE guilty pleasure, and you can only get Butter Pecan in an actual Ben & Jerry's store, so here we were. It was a nice day so the line was long, but we were willing to wait. It actually moved quickly. The employees scooping ice cream were serving us with a smile which is always great! We both got pints. I got the Chocolate Fudge Brownie and of course my partner got the Butter Pecan. It was a good day! read more

The ice cream was delicious, but unfortunately, the service was very unpleasant. We were a group of six people and wanted to buy ice cream for everyone, but the employee started speaking to us in a very rude and disrespectful way. It was disappointing because the ice cream itself was good, but the way we were treated really affected our experience. read more

I met Ben & Jerry at an event in CA over 30 years ago. They gave me a t-shirt when I told them ice cream is medicine. This location is at the wharf. Even if it is chilly outside, ice cream makes everything better! Plus your ice cream will melt slower! Metro is just a few blocks away. There is a parking garage nearby. If you take metro, you'll have more money for ice cream! The employees are nice. You can get a cone or a bowl. Every flavor is amazing. read more

So very courteous and extremely nice , ice cream was great! amazing service and will be returning soon!

Ice cream is good but it will be a lot better if the staff helped us out when we need it. It may be a D.C. thing for staff to just be moody or passive as we waited in line to order ice cream. It was our turn to pick ice cream and we were sampling different flavors as it's our first time in a Ben & Jerry's. But when my fiancé asked about choosing flavors, the guy just said someone will help us and proceeded to help the guy right behind us, who was of a different race than us and I can't help but feel this is a discriminatory action. I was baffled that we were skipped and I stared the guy down. There is no reason for him to be unhelpful to us. I'm not one for confrontations and we were finally helped out by another staff but this staff member really did the bare minimum with no smile and curt answers. I guess it doesn't help that there is also a huge line inside the shop on this hot day. Everything is expensive in D.C. We got a cup for $12 and you can choose 4 scoops. We got 2 scoops of mango, lemonade, and strawberry. Mango is pretty good. My fiancé likes sorbet but I'm not a fan. read more

My experience at Ben & Jerry's was unfortunately not a pleasant one. The employee assisting me was rude from the moment I stepped up to order. Their tone was sharp, their body language showed clear irritation, and they seemed openly hostile throughout the interaction. It genuinely felt like they were annoyed that I was even there. It's disappointing to encounter that kind of attitude in a place known for fun and friendliness. We have visited many Ben and Jerry's and this is the only one I would never return to. read more

I rarely ever catch a craving for ice cream but for some reason it hit me this week. So on one of my walks, I decided to drop by this Ben & Jerry's location. I've walked by it for years and have just never had the interest in going in. Plus, there always seems to be a pretty long line. This visit was no different, but surprisingly the line moved more quickly than I anticipated! They have all of the flavor offerings very visible to look at while to you wait so that you have plenty of time to decide what you'd like to order. I wanted something very simple - just a scoop of Cherry Garcia on a regular sugar cone. Unfortunately, that was not an option because there was a two scoop minimum AND I couldn't just get a plain cone - I had to choose from multiple dipped choices. Not only was this not what I was in the mood for but it ended up being twice as expensive. Next time I'm craving ice cream I'll just buy it at the store because I definitely didn't get exactly what I wanted (and didn't even enjoy the dipped cone.) read more

The shop was cool and clean. Milan was behind the counter by herself and served the line quickly and with a smile!

5 stars for the amazing staff. But, it was $11 plus a $2 tip. $13. Would you pay $13 for a chocolate Sunday at the Wharf. read more

Very nice, great people, large selection. I appreciate the music and good vibes, and the energy of the place.

Today is Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry's and they were definitely ready for a crowd! Though the line appeared long, it moved very quickly. They had menus handed out to those in line so they already knew what they wanted and had plenty of scoopers! And of course, the ice cream was delicious! I was really excited to see their offerings of dairy free (oat milk), vegan, and gluten-free! Glad there are options for different dietary choices/restrictions! read more

Ben & Jerry's at the D.C. Wharf offers a variety of tasty ice cream flavors in a prime waterfront setting. On sunny days, you can enjoy sitting on a water-facing bench outdoors. The staff is friendly, helpful, and provides excellent service. After exploring the area, I found it the perfect place for a treat. It offers flavors like Milk and Cookies and Chocolate Therapy, sorbets, and non-dairy options. You can also choose from waffle cones, shakes, and sundaes, all of which showcase the high quality of the ice cream. read more

Right now, I think Ben and Jerry's is doing the right thing as an ice cream company so it feels great to walk into a physical location to support their mission of being conscious of corporate relationships and their protest against the war on Gaza. And they make good ice cream. The store is so cute, and has all the aspects you would need out of a classic ice cream shop. Their non-dairy flavors have come a long way! read more

The Ben & Jerry's at the wharf is awesome! Day was very helpful an attentive! An Ben & Jerry's always hits!

I visited the Ben & Jerry's at 705 Wharf Street SW last night around 9:00 PM, and unfortunately it was one of the worst customer service experiences I've had in a very long time. The employee working at the time was extremely rude from the start. She snapped at the customer next to me, handing her a cup and saying, "This is so you don't spill on my mopped floor, you're making a mess." While I understand wanting to keep the floor clean, the delivery was unnecessarily nasty and uncomfortable for everyone standing there. When it was my turn, she asked what I wanted while I was still looking, then grunted and walked away to the register where she immediately began scrolling on her phone. My friend and I stood at the register waiting, and she continued texting and scrolling as if we weren't there. When my friend tried to order and asked what was in certain shakes, the employee had a clear attitude and didn't seem to know what was in them -- all while staying glued to her phone. When I finally ordered, I told her my flavors and she asked me three separate times which ones I wanted, without making eye contact once. I then asked for a chocolate waffle bowl and specified the chocolate-dipped bowl with sprinkles. She responded with, "You need to do better than that and be specific. They all have chocolate." Because the music in the store was extremely loud and she refused to step away from the register or put her phone down, I walked over and physically pointed to the bowl I wanted -- and even then, she still acted annoyed and couldn't seem to understand which one I was referring to. Between the loud music, the constant phone use, the lack of attention, and the openly rude attitude, the entire experience was exhausting and uncomfortable. I would never want someone with this lack of basic manners or customer service representing my brand or company. Ben & Jerry's is supposed to be a fun, welcoming experience -- this was the exact opposite. Your employee has a nasty attitude and doesn't care for her job, let alone the people who are there paying for your products. read more

Ice cream and shakes amazing, of course. But the customer service? Stellar. Jayden is amazing!

Day showed off a positive attitude and great service when my friends and I did a couple of tastings and got scoops of ice cream.

Really helpful staff, kind and patient! Delicious flavors and awesome recommendations!

Pretty store front but inside has no seating for customers. There are only two tables and eight chairs outside for customers to enjoy their ice cream. There are many flavors that you can find in supermarkets that are sold in pints. I chose the all-time favorites - chocolate, and chocolate fudge brownie flavors. The ice cream cones available were eye-catching and every cone looked delicious. As usual, the ice cream flavors were very good, and the scoops given were generous. Yum. read more
