Good Ice Cream

Ben and Jerry's on Newbury Street


Overall, a good experience here. The line was practically out the door when we got there, but it moved quickly and in no time, we were embarking on a sugar rush.

I paired the Phish Food (surf and turf edition, with both chocolate cows and fish) with Strawberry Cheesecake on a sugar cone. Both delicious. The SC tasted a lot like cheesecake, and the Phish Food was, as always, great. Chocolate ice cream, caramel swirl, chocolate fish. It was a beautiful day for a snack and we were even able to get a table outside in the sun.

My nephew got the Black Raspberry frozen yogurt. He's a Black Rasp connoisseur - gets it everywhere he goes. He seemed quite pleased with it and ate the entire thing before I'd even finished my first scoop. I noticed that there were real raspberry chunks swirled in. Impressive.

My brother got the new flavor, Creme Brulee. Custard ice cream with swirled caramelized sugar. The caramelized sugar was crunchy, not smooth or soft like caramel. He said it was good.

One final note: You know it's expensive. You could buy a pint for less than you pay for a small cone (2 scoops) but I don't think there's a 7 Eleven on Newbury Street.
