FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is different about Benson's Ice Cream?


Benson's offers artisanal, handcrafted, super premium ice cream the way our family has been doing do for generations.  Benson's Ice Cream is a specialty ice cream unlike what you can get at the grocery store or most average scoop shops.  At Benson's, you can taste the difference! 


When can you buy Fresh Native flavors?


Our Fresh Native fruit flavors are only available when the fruit is in season at local farms.  We work directly with local farms to purchase fresh picked fruit.  We can only get fruit when they have enough to stock their own farm stands and sell us their extra, so our supply is very dependent on weather, field, and crop conditions.  Taste can also vary by variety and season, and from crop to crop.  We do our best to anticipate when the flavors will be available and to keep them in stock for the season, but nature can be unpredictable.  


A general guide is: 

Fresh Native Strawberry - mid-June

Fresh Native Red Raspberry- July and August

Fresh Native Blackberry- July

Fresh Native Black Raspberry - July

Fresh Native Peach- August 

Fresh Maine Blueberry - August

Fresh Native Sweet Corn- August

Fresh Native Baked Apple- September 

Fresh Native Spiced Pumpkin-September. 


Do you take online or phone orders?


We do not take online orders and we do not take pre-order by phone or other means.  Just walk up to the window and order cones, sundaes, frappes, to-go, and bulk sizes of your choice!  We do take large bulk orders for events.  If you are looking to purchase  a 3 gallon box or more, please contact us through our contact page or by phone. 


What flavors do you have in stock today?


We try to  keep our regular ice cream, frozen yogurt, and vegan flavors in stock, but all of them can run out from time to time.  To find out what flavor are available on a specific day, give us a call during business hours.  Our Fresh Fruit Flavors are made only when fruit is available and sell quickly so they sell out frequently and even if we told you it was in stock, it may not be a short time later.  We do not take pre-orders or save flavors for customers other than bulk event orders.  Everything is sold on site on a first-come, first-serve basis.


Are your products allergy safe? 


All of our products are made on the same machinery, which includes dairy, gluten, tree nuts, peanuts, eggs, and soy as well as other ingredients.  For slight allergies, intolerances, and dietary restrictions, please let your server know and they will do their best to make sure your order does not have ingredients that you can not eat, but in severe allergy cases, our products are not recommended.  If you need a full list of ingredients for any flavor or product, please let us know.


What is the base of your vegan flavors? 


Our vegan flavors are made with a vegan ice cream base that contains both soy and coconut ingredients.   All of our products are homemade in the same machine (see allergy information above).


Is your ice cream gluten free? 


Our ice cream, frozen yogurt, and vegan ice cream bases are gluten free.  Some flavors have gluten add-ins such a brownies and grapenuts.  All of our products are homemade in the same machine (see allergy information above).


What forms of payment do you accept? 


We take all major forms of pay, including Discover, MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.

About Us

93 Years of Super Premium Handcrafted Ice Cream

All of our ice cream and other flavors are handcrafted on location.  Many of our flavors are the  same recipes we have been using for generations, including our Fresh Fruit Flavors made with fruits from our local neighborhood farms, inspired by how Grandma Benson made it when she mixed her own farm grown strawberries in to her sweet cream base and served it up on a plate.
