"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."

"This Ben Jerry's holds a special place in my heart, and I've been coming here for over fifteen years now. What started as childhood trips with my parents has turned into a personal tradition that I still enjoy as an adult. One of my favorite memories from being a kid was how generous the staff was with samples. I remember walking up to the counter, barely tall enough to see over it, and the workers would patiently let me try flavor after flavor until I found the perfect one. What amazes me is that nothing has changed I'm now in my twenties, and the employees are just as friendly about letting me sample different flavors before I decide. There's something really heartwarming about that consistency. Over the years, I've settled into three favorites that I rotate between. Half Baked is probably my number one the combination of cookie dough and brownie pieces is absolutely perfect. Cherry Garcia has this classic appeal with those sweet cherry chunks that never gets old. And Americone Dream with its caramel swirl and waffle cone pieces always feels like a special treat. But honestly, the ice cream is only part of the experience. The real magic happens when you take your scoop outside to one of the little tables and just watch the world go by. Reston Town Center always has this pleasant energy families walking around, people heading to dinner, kids playing in the open areas. It's the perfect spot for people watching while you enjoy your ice cream. The absolute best seats are the ones near the Mercury fountain. There's something so peaceful about sitting there with your ice cream, listening to the water and watching people stroll past. I've spent countless afternoons there over the years, from dealing with teenage drama to processing adult life challenges. That fountain area has become my go to spot for thinking and unwinding. This place represents consistency in the best way possible. Good ice cream, friendly service, and a perfect location that feels like the heart of the community. Whether you're a kid trying ice cream for the first time or an adult looking for a moment of simple pleasure, this Ben Jerry's delivers every time."
