http://www.benjerry.comIt's the summer and a great way to cool down is with a nice cold creamy ice cream cone.
With all the bright neon lights, I'm attracted to this place:
A nicely decorated themed store:
Might be a bit confusing at first with all the text throughout the store, but if you stick to ice cream, you can't go wrong.
The blue tint to the light may keep the ice cream cooler than yellowy lights but it doesn't make the ice cream look better.
Not much selection. Much like a Baskin Robbins.
Two scoops of ice cream:
Some waffle cones:
Sorbert:
Since you can find Ben & Jerry's ice cream at the supermarket these days I find it really hard to justify coming to a store for $4 a scoop over a whole tub for $4. There aren't many seats in the store either. This is one of those impulse buys. If you're out with a bunch of friends and happen to cross path with a Ben & Jerry's, I guess it's worth a visit. I recommend Braum's for ice cream over Ben & Jerry's. If you do come, I prefer ice cream over sorberts. Sorberts just taste like slushy but with a bit more ice.

I disagree about the selection... The Plano store has ALL of the flavors. I can only get about 10 at my grocery store. This store has about 70 between the flavors that are scooped and all the pints. Plus, they have a lot of flavors that are only available at a Ben & Jerry's store. My new favorite is Bonnaroo, only available at the Ben & Jerry's store... Light Coffee ice cream with Heath bars and a whiskey caramel swirl... YUM! Braums and Baskin Robbins have nothing on this place.
