"From the moment I heard there was a Ben Jerry's Scoop Shop in the Jack London Square area, I wanted to visit. I finally had the chance to make this visit. It was another really hot summer day in Contra Costa and a deserved late afternoon break was just what I needed. From my own experience with Ben Jerry's Scoop Shops, this Scoop Shop at Jack London Square is pretty good. There are two entrances in this shop, one gives you the one you enter Ben Jerry's feeling with the logo sign above your head. And then there is a side entrance that puts you right in front of the ice order counter, with friendly faces waiting to help you. These Ben Jerry's creator not only serve ice cream, they have sorbet, smoothies, shakes, hot chocolate, ice cream, etc. They had samples of waffle cones available for my visit. It was delicious. As with many ice cream shops, you can taste other flavors. After I tried a few ice flavors and sorbet flavors, I chose her sorbet aromas of Lemonade and Margarita. The Lemonade was on the tard side, which I hoped it would be perfect. Due to the size of the shop there are a few tables to enjoy your desserts. But if you decide not to sit inside, there are benches distributed over Jack London Square to sit and it's just a few short blocks on the waterfront. Cost? I personally thought it was a Ted on the pricier side. $6 for 2 pots of ice when I have a whole pint of Ben Jerry's ice cream in the grocery store for less than $6. Yeah, visiting a real Ben Jerry's Scoop shop is a treat. But overall, Ben Jerry's is a great brand, they have big ice cream. I can't wait to see her hot chocolate again."
