Ben & Bill's Chocolate Emporium

Very cool place. They seemed to be the only place in the area to have lobster ice cream. What was that? How was the lobster ice cream you ask?

It was alright. It's honestly nothing special. Their other ice cream is delicious though, and they have tons of other sweets. Very friendly staff.

Very delicious ice cream place with a lottttt of options including lobster ice cream! They have also delicious fudge with many flavors available. The ice cream flavors I got were all delicious!

Visited on a Monday afternoon and had little wait before being greeted by their friendly staff! With so many great options, it was hard to decide, but I honestly think you can’t go wrong with anything you order here! The portion sizes are pretty decent but can definitely be a little pricey. Overall though, we had a great experience and would recommend this place to others!

If this place is a “Tourist Trap”, then call me the “Bear that stumbled in and got his leg caught squarely in it”!

The place was absolutely rammed with people. It’s a Sweets Shop….they have candies, fudge, cakes, brownies, ice cream, and even coffee and shakes.

Speaking of shakes….this place should come with an Insulin shot.

The people working were as friendly as can be considering how many obnoxious customers they must have to deal with.

We ordered (8) Fudge dipped Oreos. They were very tasty. We also shared a small (which was very large), Blueberry HOUSE-MADE ice-cream.

We enjoyed the treats, but could have done without the volume of people in the place. The staff were great. The treats were too. You should probably visit.

As soon as you walk in, you are transported back to the time when ice cream shops were the spots to be. This place smelled so good, I could barely focus. The staff were friendly and vey helpful. There are so many treats to choose from. All the items that we got were amazing. This is definitely a place to try!

I bought fudge here for 4 days in a row it was so good, never tried the ice cream but I did buy probably 3 dozen chocolate covered strawberries 🍓 during my stay in Bar Harbor. This is such a cute little town. Also the walkway is narrow so, try to know what you want so you can get in and get out. However the narrow walkway doesn't take away from the great flavors so, definitely worth stopping by 😊

Super cute ice cream and candy spot right in heart of Bar Harbor. They have every type of sweet treat you can think of! I went here 2 nights in a row and tried a total of 4 flavors, all of which were creamy and delicious. Friendly service and a semi-retro vibe makes this a fun after dinner spot!

Right on the Main Street is this delightful shop, filled with all sorts of chocolates and treats- including their own taffy! Per pound, they had the best price for Maine salt-water taffy!
I had a chai tea latte with almond milk, and it was wonderful! My husband had a Blue/Raspberry Italian soda. (And of course we bought their taffy!)
The service was very good and friendly. You will not want to miss the variety in this chocolate shop!

This place is tor most popular ice cream place in Bar Harbor. There are plenty of flavors but what makes it stand out is the lobster ice cream.we took a bunch of ice cream like blueberry gelato, orange pineapple, black raspberry and all were amazing. There were many fudge and candies .

If you’re easily overwhelmed, like I am, this place might not be for you. There are soo many different types of desserts and ice creams that makes it very difficult to choose. The gelato fridge was not working when we stopped in and can’t tell you what their gelato was like but the rest of their options are all fresh and delicious. Their chocolate covered strawberries, with milk or dark chocolate were very yummy! The ice creams so fresh and the waffle cones were amazing!!!

Greatvice cream from what has to be the biggest selection in the world, too bad it probably the most expensive ice cream in the world, it was even more than one in Monte Carlo

Love...love...love this place. Every time I visit Bar Harbor its always one of my first stops. They have so many amazing flavors to choose from. The service is always great. I can’t believe how busy it gets and the employees never rush you. They want you to try before you buy and they are always wearing a smile. I always get ice cream but I’m certain the chocolate and other sweet treats are just as good.

They had the most ice cream flavors I’ve seen in an ice cream shop in a long time! They ice cream as amazing and the chocolate dipped waffle cone was perfect. The staff was very kind and engaging!

When in Maine, you gotta try the lobster ice cream! It’s not for everyone, but worth a try in a kiddie size. So many delicious ice cream, chocolate and fudge options.

Food allergies clearly labeled in front of each flavor. They also have vegan and gluten free waffle clones!

Staff was very friendly.

My wife and I went here while on our honeymoon in Maine. Old fashioned style candy and ice cream shop with tons of different flavors and varieties of ice cream, fudge, and salt water taffy. Salt water taffy is my favorite candy, so we bought some here, and it was delicious. Best taffy I have had. We also liked the old fashioned style of this shop.

This place has ruined blueberry ice cream for me, the blueberry swirl was incredibly yummy and is only made here! There are so many flavors it can be overwhelming, but the counter staff were mostly patient and helpful with our order. We had the gluten free cone with the blueberry swirl and orange sorbet. Even the pup enjoyed both flavors! Worth the stop and the wait if you’re in Bar Harbor or visiting Acadia National Park.

An excellent chocolate shop and candy store with some of everything you could hope for. Their selection of fudge, truffles, candy and ice cream is extensive and flavors for every kind of taste. We settled on some fudge and chocolate covered pretzels and strawberries and all were excellent. My only regret is not stopping back again for more as there were so many different thing to try.

They have lobster ice cream! You can ask for a sample if you're not sure it's your cup of tea. Also double cookies and cream...yummy! That didn't last long enough to get a pic taken. 😋

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 googled "best salt water taffy near me" and this place popped up!

We came here before leaving the island. It brought back memories of walking into a store similar and picking up sweets before going home.

Everyone is so nice. The taffy is delicious. I also got cotton candy (not pictured) and it was a favorite as well.

The store is small and offers a lot. So 5 stars overall!
