this place is lowkey a little scary- can’t tell which is worse, temple street or the inside of the store. two workers. one male worker was extremely rude and was annoyed to answer simple questions about the ingredients, I was expecting him to spaz out on me. ate my ice cream as quickly as possible.

Shout out to the manager Louie for keeping the place clean and orderly. I arrived a little after midnight with my three brothers about 2 weeks ago. We were celebrating our youngest 21st birthday and he along with his staff made us feel welcomed and provided exceptional service with a smile and truly set an example for all Ben and Jerry's. We will be back for sure!

TL:DR; Branding over bite. This is exactly what you expect from a chain scoop shop with the same flavors you’d grab at the grocery store, just at a higher price and with less atmosphere. Nothing bad, but nothing special either.
The few times ive gone, before i knew better, it was "OK". But New Haven has much better ice cream if you’re looking for something worth a quick walking trip. MilkCraft gives you a truly unique and fun experience if you want "twist" to your flavors, and Arethusa Farm Dairy is the real-deal local dairy with depth of flavor and freshness you won’t find here. I also don't associate them with any odd political agendas making it an easy choice if you’d rather focus on truly great ice cream and service than a global brands messaging.

Used the bathroom there and the soap dispenser had been ripped from the wall. When I let them know and asked if they had any hand sanitizer, they said no. I asked if they had any soap back there they could just squeeze into my hand cause I felt gross and they said they don’t cause they don’t have a sink back there. So then I realized they’ve been scooping my ice cream without access to soap/hand sanitizer after using the bathroom/cleaning/handling money etc so that made me very nauseous…Also as an aside (didn’t bother me until after soapgate), there aren’t any outlets anywhere and they refused when I asked if they could plug my phone in behind the counter since it was almost dead and I had a train soon. Soooo the ice cream was good? But would recommend just buying a pint, washing your hands, and staying home
