Ben & Jerry's is a solid ice cream for whenever you're craving ice cream. They have all the traditional flavors as well as a few experimental ones, with different sizes of cups and cones. I usually get the cookies and cream milkshake or a brownie sundae, since I love brownies. The sundae isn't anything fancy like you would get at a nicer place, but it hits the spot. The staff is very friendly and patient. read more

Some very good ice cream and extraordinary prices right off the DC Wharf. What better way to cap off the evening with a large scoop of ice cream. Between the three of us, we got a pistachio and a monkey blast with chocolate. So you get in a quick moving line, place your order, and watch the majic happen piled high, you definately get your money"s worth. You way at a ipay type device, and off you go. All in all, a nice addition to the Wharf, and enjoy as the sun sets -Zuk read more

Popular Ben & Jerry's on the Wharf with adequate service. I liked the selection of frosted cones, and the bench seating out front, outside. Visited twice during our week in D.C. for the teens, since we were at the Wharf. I forget which ice cream special flavor was a big disappointment on our first visit- I do normally like most of B & J's crazy special flavors, but at the Wharf prices, I'll keep it to the tried and true best of the best, in the future. read more

Ben and Jerry's always has amazing ice cream, but I decided to branch out and try one of the non-dairy offerings. I've had it in the past when they used almond milk, and it was just ok, but the new reformulated variety is actually pretty awesome. The texture and taste seemed to be as good as the real thing. People were following social distancing guidelines by standing on the cows that were placed six feet apart. The workers were behind plexiglass and I felt incredibly safe. It might be a little expensive, but it's worth it, especially on a warm day. read more

This Ben & Jerry's is really nice. It's a much larger space than most Ben & Jerry's storefronts I've been to. Also, it's in a sweet location right on the wharf! That's where positives end though.... Because my first job in high school was at Ben & Jerry's, I hate complaining about price - but the size of a small here is $6. That's how much a pint costs! At least in my day it was only $3.24. Eesh. I came in specifically for scoop shop exclusives. I was disappointed that it was SO melty. I know that's not something they can really control for, but we used to put it away in the larger walk-in freezer and bring out a new one so it doesn't look like a melty pile of brown stuff. Also, it was kind of incredible that one of the guys working had HEADPHONES in?! When he was serving me, he so KINDLY took one side out but c'mon. Who do you think you are?! #rude. 200/365 read more

I've always been a fan of Ben and Jerry's and mainly got their pint ice cream from 711 or grocery stores but today was the first time I actually went into the shop. The staff were very helpful and friendly. They helped my friends and I sample a few flavors and gave us several of suggestions. They were super patient with my friends and I (especially since we did ask for many samples) and were pretty knowledgable of the ice cream. It was actually a little overwhelming at first because there were so many options and crazy combos which were alll so good. What I like about their ice cream is how rich and creamy it is, although it can be a bit heavy. I ended up getting a single scoop of "get smore'd" and "phish food" on a waffle cone. Both flavors complimented each other really well and were pretty similar to each other. Overall, I think I prefer this place over Cold Stone and Baskin Robbins and plan on making to go for ice cream whenever I am in the Wharf area. Food: 3/5 Price: 3/5 Service: 5/5 read more

What a great location to have an ice cream joint! It's right on the harbor and a perfect way to enjoy a cold ice cream cone on a hot day or after a meal at the many restaurants next door. The staff was very nice here and the store itself was clean when walking in. Although they didn't have any chairs or tables out so customers could sit down. The store wasn't very busy so the line was short and the service was quick. I got the mint chocolate ice cream in a waffle bowl-SUPER DELICIOUS. It definitely satisfied my sweet tooth. The only slight downfall was the price, kinda expensive, but I guess that's why they say treat yo'self! Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Price 3/5 read more

There was only one person working here or maybe the other person was on a break otherwise this was not a wise choice on a Saturday. Perhaps they didn't expect the amount of customers that they had during winter time but with an unexpected 60 degree day the line was almost out the door. The solo employee manning the forth was efficient and moved things well considering he had to take care of a family with 5 indecisive elementary age children as the line grew behind them . He didn't lose his cool though. The place was clean and had enough spoons and napkins despite one person doing everything by himself.

Located on the Warf overlooking the water it's in a decent location. I got butter pecan ice cream on a waffle cone and my husband got a small milk shake.

I must say that this is great location for an ice cream shop, right on the water front. Wonderful place to sit and enjoy the cool breezez and and a scoop of Ice. On this day it was national free scoop day at Ben Jerry's. They were actually raising money for Cancer, something I totally support so why not. Customers were able to get a scoop of ANY flavor that they desired. Yes I said any!! Not just vanilla or chocolate. Cherry Garcia and all the good ones you know and love including Half Baked. Sorry no toppings included. But who needs toppings at Ben & Jerry's. The toppings are always mixed in lol. I had a wonderful time. They had plenty of staff/ volunteers. There was no chaos or confusion and the line moved fast. I was in and out in less than three minutes. I can't wait until next year :) If I'm in the area I will return sooner. read more

I just want them to be staffed properly. What I don't love is that people hop in, grab ice cream from the freezer, cut the line and get checked out, while making people waiting in line wait. It's unfair and annoying, especially when you're just waiting for a couple scoops.

I'm not an ice cream person, but my eight-year-old daughter is. Van Leeuwen isn't local, but they…read moredo create quality ice cream. And their sundae is, in my opinion, the best in the city. I always get the honeycomb ice cream with hot fudge, whipped cream, and sprinkles. It's huge and the right ratio of ingredients. Also, they don't skimp on the fudge unlike other places. Note: The fudge isn't as sweet as other shops, which I appreciate. This particular location is small. Located by other shops in Eastern Market, sometimes there's a wait. For example, we went recently on a Thursday afternoon. When we arrived, a sign on the door said they will be back in 30 minutes. When we returned, only one person was working, creating a backlog. I felt bad for her managing it all on her own. Our wait ended up being 30 minutes.

My friend who used to live in Baltimore told me her and her mom loved Pitango. She is gluten-free and pretty much all of their gelatos are gluten free. They also had a large selection of dairy-free options too. It's a tiny shop, but there are what feels like over 20 flavors to pick from. The person who was working there was extremely kind and let us try whatever wanted. I tried the dark chocolate and bacio flavors and ended up choosing those as my gelato for the evening. The smallest cup was a regular and came out to able $9 with tip. There was a lot of seating options outside. I'd recommend this spot for a sweet treat.

They had a larger than expected non-dairy selection so I ended up with two such flavors in addition to one more conventional gelato flavor. All of them, including and almond nougat creation that was new to me, a bitter chocolate sorbetto, and a kiwi flavor with little fruit pieces, delivered amply on flavor. The price was more eye-watering than mouthwatering. I suppose it's both a premium location and premium quality, but that was a small cup for over $10. As an occasional indulgence, I do recommend it, and given that it's a Baltimore brand whose original location is near the water, there's something appropriate about it being on the wharf.

Value: 1/10 - and this is largely because I was charged incorrectly. I ordered a double, but was charged $10 - which I didn't fully realize until I saw the charge on my card because the employees were talking amongst themselves throughout my visit and didn't inform me of the cost Vibe: 1/10 - this could be a cute spot, especially given its location, but I was very put off when the employee who scooped my ice cream wasn't wearing gloves and basically had their hands in the ice cream. Also the inside of the store smelt like marijuana pretty strongly. Ice cream: 1/10 - I ordered a scoop of banana peanut butter, which was icy and lacking in flavor. The second scoop I ordered was chocolate, meant to be the actual dairy chocolate, but given it's similar iciness and lack of flavor I think I was given a dairy free scoop.
