Great ice cream
Nice local store with great ice cream flavors and chocolates. They enforce social distancing during the pandemic. We got the coffee ice cream and it was creamy and very tasty. There's usually a line to get in, but wait because it's worth it. Lots of goodies inside for your pleasure.

Never Misses
Great ice cream. This is the third year since we changed from Mad Martha's ice cream to this one. Still do not regret the change(it had been almost 20 years having Martha's).
Both sugar free flavors were great. My wife loved hers. Still a ridiculous amount of choices. Lines still very long, but they move and the wait is worth it.

Great ice cream and very tasty candy!
While I've had the ice cream from the other Oak Bluffs shops, Ben and Bill's is my favorite. The servers are generally very patient and friendly, the selection and taste of the flavors are top notch, and the servings are very generous for the price. There are even (limited) seating areas outside.

Really Not Bluffing Ice Cream
Family
Every time I am on the island, I go to Ben & Bills, very courteous and attentive staff, the place is always packed, but they are very attentive to every one. The ice cream is outstanding. Several options to choose from. I always get a scoop of the Strawberry Cheesecake, Macadamia coconut, and the Chocolate Raspberry!
I do not leave without the milk and dark macadamia clusters, scrumptious!

Great ice cream!

We tried the ice cream here, and it was really good. The triple chocolate was very rich, yum! They only take cash or island checks.

Wait and you will be glad you did
Delicious and great value; worth the wait. so many ice cream choices but this was best of all. Tons of flavors from the weird Lobster Roll to delicious Mocha mud pie and Choc. Raspberry

Lots of Flavors!

We had been told that Ben & Bills was the best ice cream in Oak Bluffs. When we entered we noticed a placard on the wall stating that they had been voted jexactly that in 2014. I was tempted to try the Lobster ice cream and darn! now I am a little sorry I wasn't brave enough! I opted for the salted caramel which is my favorite choice this year. It was smooth and creamy but I wasn't a fan of the hard caramel chunks whereas I was expecting swirls of caramel instead. Nonetheless it was quite good. Served on the old fashioned plain cone, the "kiddie" portion was very generous
We'd definitely stop at Ben & Bill's again while on The Vineyard.
