My boyfriend brought me some of their Red Velvet with walnuts from the country store in Spartanburg and it is the best cake I have ever had. I love tons of icing and the cake is super moist which is just what I like. I couldn't believe how good it was. I can't wait to have it again and try the ice cream. read more

Big Ben's Dessert and Ice Cream - Red Velvet Cake - Desserts Near Me - Lyman, South Carolina

Have enjoyed Big Ben's cakes in the past. Won't know today because when I arrived at noon today the door was looked. Checked the hours which are supposed to be noon to 8. Waited in the chilly air for ten minutes. Still no lights and no open door. Called number on door and got informational recording. Really good cakes and poor business practices do not equal a winning combination! read more

Excellent cakes and desserts the only knock is they pack on a little too much frosting so if you're a frosting person this is definitely for you. read more

Good ice cream but the price for a small cone with very little ice cream in it was overpriced.

Desserts were okay, honestly not what I was expecting. Honey bun cake, banana pudding, Oreo cheesecake, and birthday cake. The cheesecake honestly only tasted like cream cheese, the birthday day cake was super moist like sponge cake which I'm not a fan of, honey bun cake was good, and the banana pudding is good. read more

Great service from a customer all the way from California. I sent to my mom a few slices of cake for her birthday. It was great surprise and she loves homemade cakes. They all looked so delicious and it was so hard to decide. So glad it closes to where my mom lives. So when I visit I'll be able to try myself. Cakes are very fresh and moist. Great taste. I ordered her the yellow chocolate cake and a slice of pineapple vanilla cake. read more

The red velvet cake is as if Jesus came down and baked it himself. This cake is so delicious that I made the decisions that as of today November 21, 2021 that if a diet doesn't include this cake it can't include me. read more

The strawberry cake is absolutely amazing. The people that worked there are beyond friendly and make you feel welcomed.

Ordered cupcakes from Big Ben's Dessert for a small gathering. Picked them up on a Sunday two hour before the event. The Red Velvet and Keylime cupcakes were the star of the show! They were baked fresh that morning! While there I was able to get a personal banana pudding for myself. I didn't eat it until the following Monday and I was blown away! Service was friendly and professional. Many people coming in for ice cream and the shop was clean and a lively atmosphere. I'll go back soon!!! read more

Keylime cake was awesome. However, I have been on three different occasions and most menu items were not available those days. Also, no cupcakes any of those days or their signature banana pudding. read more

OMG. The Cake and banana cream pie were awesome. Big Ben knows how to bake!!! Stop here. You won't be sorry!!!

Man dang..that's all I need to say..they do have terrific cakes. The staff is pretty friendly also.. it's a small place located in a strip mall right across the street from Food Lion on Hwy 29..they have a variety of cake slices, cupcakes, ice cream and banana pudding..the strawberry cake is the top seller..it actually has slices of strawberries mixed in the cake which is a nice touch..the key lime cake is great also..the pineapple cake was great too..just a little too much cream cheese icing for my liking..I have to say every slice of cake I have had was super moist..one day I will get a scoop of ice cream with my cake but I just don't want to send my body into sugar overload lol..they have about 10 different flavors of mayfield brand ice cream to choose from.. The reasons for the four stars and not five is first,..and maybe this is just me having bad luck but the last four or five times I have been they have been out of the cake that I wanted..I hope they can improve on this aspect of the business..zoysia frustrating as a consumer when you are excited and ready to eat something you have a hankering for but it's unavailable..might lose repeat customers that way..I have sent quite a few people to this place by bragging on how moist and good the cakes are.. and I know they won't return if they don't have the particular cake I am bragging on.. The second reason for the lack of five stars is the pricing..a whole cake gonna run you around $40 to $45..a slice anywhere from $3.50 to $4..cheesecake slices around $7.. so it gets a little pricey when you get more than a slice or two..the single serve banana pudding is $3.99.. but it's definitely worth a splurge every now and again read more

I have heard wonderful things about Big Bens desserts. HOWEVER I sadly can not formulate my own opinion BECAUSE I came tonight at 8:10 PM, their Facebook page and door say they close at 9:00 PM. There were families inside enjoying their ice cream, and to my surprise the door was LOCKED and the lady inside mouthed through the door "were closed". Sadly I am moving from the Upstate next week, so will never be able to tell you if their cakes are actually good. read more

Wonderful dessert and ice cream shop! The strawberry cake is the best I've ever had. It was moist and delicious with chunks of strawberries in the cake and the perfect icing to cake ratio. The honeybun cake was delicious warmed up and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Ben Hall seems like a phenomenal person and not only did we enjoy his food, his story was very inspiring. Can't wait to go back to try his famous banana pudding. read more
