Why it's worth checking out
Ben & Jerry’s Manly is a dedicated Scoop Shop at Shop 5, 25-27 South Steyne, serving the brand’s ice cream in several familiar formats. The shop focuses on flavours with plenty of chunks and swirls, including exclusive options alongside a range of Ben & Jerry’s favourites. You can choose a dipped waffle cone, have the ice cream blended into a milkshake, order a sundae or keep things straightforward in a classic cup.
It is a practical stop for a quick dessert in Manly, with a menu built around customising how your ice cream is served rather than a large restaurant-style offering. The website describes the shop as the original way to enjoy Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, making it suited to anyone who wants a scoop-shop experience rather than a tub at home. The available formats also make it easy for different preferences in a group, whether someone wants a cone, a cup or something more indulgent.
The Manly location is open from 10am daily, closing at 10pm from Sunday to Thursday and at 11pm on Friday and Saturday. That gives it a useful place in the day for an afternoon treat or a later dessert. For occasions beyond an individual visit, the shop also offers ice cream catering, serving flavours in cups, cones and sundaes for office events, birthdays, weddings and other gatherings. Catering is available through the Manly shop, with the same local contact number listed for shop and catering enquiries.
There is also an ice cream cake service, with ready-to-go cakes and the option to create a custom cake based on the flavour and design wanted for the occasion. This makes the venue particularly relevant for birthdays, workplace celebrations and other planned events, as well as a simple walk-in dessert. If you would rather enjoy it at home, the shop lists delivery through Uber Eats, DoorDash, Deliveroo and Menulog. With its South Steyne address, broad serving options and event services, Ben & Jerry’s Manly is a straightforward dessert destination for solo visitors, small groups and celebrations that call for ice cream rather than a traditional cake.
