[New for Spring 2026] No, coffee ice cream is not my thing, but when you put honey graham in the name, I couldn't help but grab a pint of....

Ben & Jerry’s Honey Graham Latte Ice Cream
caramel coffee ice cream with honey graham cracker swirls & crunchy cinnamon swirls

I do like when there's a bit of bits and bops everywhere
I take my first few bites and it's not bad. It's not a straight up coffee flavor, but I'm also not really picking up the caramel or honey vibes either

If I had to quantify this flavor in one line, I'd say that it reminds me of a really dry graham cracker (so not a honey made graham cracker, more of one of the fancier/healthier graham crackers). I think it's the dryness of a coffee vibe mixing with the dryness of a graham vibe. Wait, that probably just sounds like me repeating the flavor description, but hopefully you know what I mean.... maybe the cinnamon (which I cant really taste) is also adding to the dryness.
I happy plug along for my full serving. A bite with a ton of swirl can be fun, but I also get a kick out of the melting edges (it is in the 80s today after all). This is different enough and also (coffee) mild enough that I can press on with ease.
My big takeaway is that this needs more sweetness. It's not a bad flavor, but as a fun sounding flavor, I want it be much stronger on the sweet side. I wonder if some caramel syrup or maybe putting this in to a blondie brownie sundae would round out what's going on here.
This will be enjoyed by some, but I think this could have had broader appeal.
On Second Scoop: I may not be the target audience, but I do appreciate this one to some degree still. That said, I would have enjoyed it more with double the graham cracker swirl. I wound up adding some caramel syrup to see if added sweetness would help. It did.
Verdict? could have been a bit more exciting
Buy Again? not for me
