Reviews for Ben & Jerry’s in Oakland, CA
got 2 scoop- butter pecan and cookies and cream- they were great. But the peppermint hot chocolate was actually terrible!!!... Something was really off about it. Spoiled milk?? I got the non dairy option so I?m really not sure what they put in it. Alsoit did not come with the sprinkles and other stuff they mentioned on the menu. Read more
Not impressed. Had 2 scoops of ice cream with hot fudge. Super skimpy scoops, hot fudge tasted like it had overheated or just... old! Can get better quality and quantity elsewhere for a better price. Read more
The I e Cream was pretty good. Nothing that blew me away. The price was a bit ridiculous though. My son had a scoop of ice... cream, I had a sundae. The sundae was one scoop of ice cream with 4 dollops of whipped cream. Cost $16 essentially for 2 scoopsof ice cream. Read more

Hey Ben, Hey Jerry, you did good. Located in Jack London, such a cute little area. My favorite part about having the actual... location, are the limited ice cream flavors they have! They had cereal milk....drooling. I loved the Frozen Flakes - cerealmilk ice cream with crisp cereal swirls. It's cute and the staff are friendly. Who can resist that sweet sweet smell of cones;waffle, sugar, dipped...they got them all. It's not cheap, but it's Ben and Jerry's, just skip dinner. Overall great locationand perfect all year round.

Great spot to stop for ice cream. I'm not a big ice cream fan but, I Love me some Ben and Jerry's. This is the cutest ice... cream store! Always clean and tidy. With nicely stacked ice cream cones dipped in chocolate with sprinkles just waiting to befilled with ice cream. I really wanted to take another picture with my head inside of a ginormous ice cream lid! I think myhead was Ben (see pic below)! I guess that got rid of that prop! I ended up buying a really cool tie-dyed shirt. I wassurprised at their cool selection of t-shirts. Oh wait, I was buying ice cream! I didn't get anything exiting! Just twoscoops of butter pecan in a cup. It's delicious! Read more
From the moment I heard there was a Ben & Jerry's scoop shop in the Jack London Square area, I had been wanting to visit. I... finally had the chance to make that visit. It was another really hot summer day in Contra Costa and a well deserved lateafternoon break was exactly what I needed. From my own experience with Ben & Jerry's scoop shops, this scoop shop located inJack London Square is pretty good size. There are two entrances into this shop, one gives you the "You're entering Ben &Jerry's" feel, with the logo sign over your head. And then there's a side entrance which puts you directly in front of the icecream ordering counter, with friendly faces waiting to help you. This Ben & Jerry's scoop shop doesn't just serve up ice cream,they have sorbet, smoothies, shakes, hot chocolate, ice cream cakes, etc. They had samplings of waffle cones available for myvisit. It was delicious. As with many ice cream shops, you're allowed to try other flavors. After trying a couple of ice creamflavors and sorbet flavors, I opted for their sorbet flavors of Lemonade and Margarita. The Lemonade was on the tart side, whichis what I was hoping it would be, it was perfect. Because of the size of the shop, there are a few tables to sit at to enjoyyour desserts. But if you choose not to sit inside, there are benches scattered throughout Jack London Square for sitting andit's only a couple of short blocks to the waterfront. Cost wise? I personally, thought it was a tad on the pricier side. $6 for2 scoops of ice cream, when I can get an entire pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream at the grocery store for less than $6. Yes,visiting an actual Ben & Jerry's scoop shop is a treat. But overall, Ben & Jerry's is a great brand, they have great ice cream.I can't wait to go back to experience their hot chocolate. Read more
I love how many flavors and combinations they put together! Nice staff too.
