Testimonials

Yes, yes, and yes. Outstanding place to go after dinner (or anytime really) where ice cream flavors grow on trees and you don't care how much it costs because it is so good. I had the K.B.G. flavor. K.G.B. stands for Kahlua, Grand Marnier, Bailey's. I was shocked that I could taste all three flavors in the perfectly creamy iced dessert. While I've not had any other ice cream in town, I would highly recommend Ben & Bill's. The staff was knowledgeable and the line mover super fast. Enjoy!

I'm an absolute addict for their lobster ice cream, you can't go wrong with it! Their chocolates are delicious, especially the salted caramels covered in milk chocolate. I've even ordered from them online and had things shipped home, arrived quick and in great condition in spite of it being summer. The employees are friendly in every interaction I've had. I couldn't praise them higher!

"My boys got ice cream here because they were still "starving" after a huge dinner while on vacation. I was too full to order anything, but I sampled a bite of each of theirs' and this ice cream was absolutely delicious. Makes me wish I was hungry enough to order my own! My hubby got some chocolate peanut butter fudge to go and said it's the best fudge he's ever had... And he's had a lot of fudge."

"What a wonderful old fashioned ice cream shop. I love this place. Their blueberry ice cream alone would be would be worth a trip across the country. They have lots of other flavors as well as all kinds of chocolates and candies. Most of their ice cream flavors are good but the one that they are really famous/infamous for, the lobster ice cream, is not so great. Not awful, but not great. Go for the blueberry ice cream and you will never be sorry. It also makes a great milkshake. The place is really busy during the summer tourist season but don't let that put you off. This place is worth waiting in line for 15 minutes."

"Great variety of home made ice creams to choose from, and a ton of different truffles. I had the cookie dough truffle which was good!"

"Chocolates and ice cream made onsite. Very good ice cream. They even have soft serve ice cream. The lobster ice cream was definitely unique. I really enjoyed the pumpkin ice cream. I recommend adding pecans to the top of it. Service was fast and friendly."

"The best maple walnut ice cream I've ever had. The way the line you up and move you through was very quick and efficient."

"Best ice cream in the world. I have loved this place for 20 years and it never disappoints. Fave flavor: chocolate pb cookie dough"

"Blueberry ice cream. Blueberry ice cream. Blueberry ice cream. It just doesn't get any better than this. Sampled the lobster ice cream which was neat but not really my thing. It is cool that they have it."

"Delicious sugar free ice cream an chocolate sweets! A must to stop in and try. The case was full of all flavors of ice cream on one side and chocolate sweets on the others. Small place that is big on flavor!"

"Had the peanut butter cup ice cream. It was fabulous. The scooper was friendly, efficient and patient."

"Delicious ice cream. If in Bar Harbor, I'd say this is the best ice cream in town, prob in the State. I recommend the walnut maple and the rum raisin ice cream. They are homemade with cream and butter. They also have gelatos (Italian ice cream recipe with whole milk). Scoops are generous!"

That was the best ice cream I have ever had. This was the third ice cream stop in Bar Harbor, and it was our favorite. My wife had a dish of blueberry and I had a small (2 scoops) waffle cone of sinful chocolate. Enjoy!!!

Always a delicious treat. They have an extensive list of ice cream flavors available and artisan chocolates & various candy they make right on the spot. You can watch their candy making process here too.
