I recently visited Ben & Jerry’s Riverside and had a really nice experience overall. The location itself is great—right by the water, which makes it a relaxing spot to sit and enjoy a treat.
The staff were friendly and efficient, even though it was a bit busy when I went. There was a good variety of flavours available, so it took me a while to decide what to get.
Most importantly, the ice cream was really good—rich, creamy, and full of flavour. You can tell it’s high quality, and the portion size was satisfying too.
Overall, it’s a great place to stop if you’re nearby and craving something sweet. I’d definitely come back again.

Wonderful experience. The staff were friendly and helpful. The ice cream is absolutely delicious and well priced. We both had sundaes which were $9.40 which is a very good price for a dessert considering what you pay in restaurants and cafes for desserts half the size. I'll be taking my daughter for sure.

This is my first to visit New Zealand.
And also my first time to try Ben & Jerry’s ice cream store in Christchurch, and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience!
As someone who has always been a fan of premium ice creams, I was thrilled to find that Ben & Jerry’s not only met but exceeded my expectations, solidifying its place as my favorite ice cream store ever—yes, even better than Häagen-Dazs.
During my visit, I decided to indulge in the Cookie and Caramel flavor, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. The richness of the caramel combined with the perfect crunch of the cookie pieces created a symphony of flavors and textures that danced on my taste buds.
The quality of the ingredients was evident, and the generous portion of mix-ins ensured that every spoonful was as exciting as the last.
One aspect that stood out to me was the price. For a large scoop, I paid around NZD 12, which I found to be quite reasonable considering the premium quality and the satisfying portion size.
Apart from that, the staff were friendly and efficient, making the ordering process smooth and enjoyable. They were knowledgeable about the different flavors and were more than happy to offer samples and recommendations.
Another commendable aspect of Ben & Jerry’s is their commitment to social and environmental causes. Knowing that the company actively supports various initiatives, from fair trade practices to environmental sustainability, makes enjoying their ice cream all the more satisfying.
In conclusion, for my first experience to try Ben & Jerry’s, it’s amazing. I can’t wait for my next visit to try more of their incredible flavors. And help they can also open some store in Taiwan.🤗

Everyone loves ice cream, but why have it the boring old way when you can have a chocolate dipped cone, or an old fashioned real ice cream milk shake, or maybe you fancy a waffle? Lots of choices here, but nothing cheap. Enjoy!
