Great little ice cream shop on Galveston island! This place stays open fairly late, which is great for any late night cravings. The pricing on the ice cream was a bit high for what you get, but not astronomical.
The staff was welcoming and the shop was well kept. Good place to check out if you have a sweet tooth!

Small place, not much seating. But great for a grab and go then head across the street to the beach. Their sign is so faded I thought they might be shut down, but I took a chance and glad I did.

The ice cream was delicious, but $35 for three cones should come with a financial aid counselor and a payment plan. At those prices, I wasn’t sure if I was ordering dessert or applying for a mortgage.
If you decide to go anyway, just know there’s a 24-hour emergency room a short walk away which is convenient, because your heart may stop when you see the total. Tastes great, but my wallet is currently in intensive care.

We don't get to visit too many Ben & Jerry stores, so it was nice to come across this one in Galveston. The ice cream is always good, but the prices seemed a bit on the high side. We each got a one scoop in a cup and it was more than $15. I know this is a very tourist location, but that seemed a bit much. Otherwise, it was a great visit. Staff was friendly.

Service is great here, ice cream seems expensive but then again, I am not a Ben & Jerry's fan. I had heard that Ben & Jerry's had dairy free ice cream sold only in their parlors so when we saw a shop while visiting Galveston, it seemed like. a perfect thing to try. The service was excellent, very friendly and conversational. The atmosphere was a little run down so we didn't eat our ice cream in the shop just had it outside looking at the ocean. The ice cream itself was very rich and filled with large pieces of chocolate and the price for 2 small scoops in cups was $17.30. because I'm not a fan of Ben & Jerry's I don't know if that's normal for their product but it felt expensive to me. Overall, glad we had it but would probably not choose it again next time.
