Ben & Jerry’s | Ice Cream & Catering — Restaurant in Boulder

Listen, if you haven’t had Ben & Jerry’s ice cream yet, I need you to stop whatever you’re doing, grab your wallet, and sprint to the nearest store. I don’t care if you’re in the middle of a work meeting, on a date, or in the middle of a very important nap—this is more important. Because Ben & Jerry’s isn’t just ice cream. It’s an experience. A lifestyle. A reason to believe in good things.

First, let’s talk about the texture. This isn’t some weak, airy, ice-milk nonsense that melts into sadness as soon as it leaves the freezer. No, Ben & Jerry’s is thick, rich, and packed with so many mix-ins that your spoon has to fight its way through like an explorer hacking through the jungle. You don’t eat Ben & Jerry’s—you embark on a heroic journey through chocolate chunks, cookie dough boulders, and rivers of caramel.

And the flavors? These aren’t your basic vanilla and chocolate situations (though their Vanilla is so good it makes me question everything I thought I knew about plain flavors). No, these flavors have personality. They have soul. They have so many mix-ins that I’m convinced the company’s motto is “What if we just put EVERYTHING in here?”

Let’s start with Chocolate Fudge Brownie. It’s like someone took a fresh pan of brownies, cut out the middleman, and just stuffed them straight into the ice cream. Then there’s Half Baked, which takes those same brownies, throws in cookie dough, and leaves you wondering if life can get any better (spoiler: it probably can’t). Cherry Garcia? Absolute perfection. Chunks of real cherries and chocolate that make you feel fancy, like maybe you should be eating it while wearing a silk robe and contemplating art.

And we cannot forget The Tonight Dough. This flavor has everything: caramel and chocolate ice cream, chocolate cookie swirls, chunks of chocolate chip cookie dough, AND peanut butter cookie dough. It’s so packed with goodness that you might start questioning if you even deserve this level of happiness. (You do. You absolutely do.)

The only downside to Ben & Jerry’s is that once you start, there’s no stopping. The serving size says “⅓ of a pint,” but let’s be real—who eats just a third? That’s like eating a single fry and calling it a meal. No, once you crack open that lid, you’re in it for the long haul. You’ll promise yourself “just one more bite,” and the next thing you know, you’re staring into an empty carton, questioning your life choices and planning your next purchase.

In conclusion, Ben & Jerry’s is a gift to humanity. It’s the only thing that has consistently been there for me through heartbreak, bad days, and movie nights gone wrong. If I could legally marry a pint of Netflix & Chilll’d, I would. And if you ever ask me for a bite of mine, I will consider it—before ultimately pretending I didn’t hear you and continuing to eat.

I recently went to Ben & Jerry’s with my family and had a disappointing experience. My family and I had ordered Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream, our family favorite, but it tasted like mint, which ruined the flavor. I told the server who gave us the ice cream, Ian about the problem, but instead of helping, he rudely stated, “I can’t control what the ice cream tastes like.” This had left us very disappointed due to his lack of responsibility. It seemed like the scoops had been mixed between flavors, causing the mint taste to get into the Strawberry Cheesecake. Ian’s rude attitude of face gestures made things worse, showing his lack of professionalism as a server. Ian could have just apologized and given me a new scoop, but instead left my family and I upset due to his mistake of not cleaning the spoon before scooping out ice cream. I’ve always liked Ben & Jerry’s, but this visit was disappointing, and I hope they fix...

I love Ben & Jerry's ice cream it's my favorite but I've been outside your establishment 4 times but couldn't get inside because it's not wheelchair accessible and the button to press outside for wheelchair assistance doesn't work period or was ignored. On my first attempt to purchase ice cream I couldn't get in and no one answered the buzzer I pressed multiple times outside for assistance. A total stranger wound up going back inside after she had bought her ice cream and went inside and bought me an ice cream in a cup and wouldn't take my money to reimburse her for the ice cream. There are still nice people in the world. The ADA buzzer needs fixed and if it somehow does work someone needs to answer it so that people who can't get in due to being in a wheelchair can also buy ice cream instead of having to buy it elsewhere that has an...
