Schwab’s Pharmacy in Universal Studios Florida has reopened. This soda-fountain ice cream shop is across from The Bourne Stuntacular in the park’s Hollywood area. Fans might be sad to hear, however, that Schwab’s is no longer selling Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, and will instead be serving Haagen-Dazs from now on.
According to Team Members, Universal’s contract with Ben & Jerry’s has ended and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream won’t be served anywhere on property anymore.
Inside, Haagen-Dazs has completely taken over. You can get some hand-scooped ice cream for $7.99 in a cone or $6.99 in a cup. There’s also soft-serve, sundaes, and splits.
It wouldn’t be a soda shop without soda. Milkshakes, malts, and ice cream floats are $6.99. This is where you’ll also find Dole Whip, in a cone for $4.49 or a cup for $3.99.
The Haagen-Dazs flavors include Coffee Chip, Belgium Chocolate, Vanilla, Sorbet Strawberry, Rocky Road, Mint Chip, Caramel Cone, Brownie’s A la Mode, Dulce De Leche, White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle, Cookies & Cream, Yogurt Vanilla, Midnight’s Cookes & Cream, and Cookie Dough.
After getting your ice cream, you can then choose your toppings, which are an additional $1.49 each.
There is some counter seating available.
Even the light-up signs circling the restaurant have been updated to say “Now Serving Haagen-Dazs.”
We then had to go check in on the main Ben & Jerry’s location inside Universal Studios Florida.
Ben & Jerry’s is in the New York section of the park.
It remains shuttered although there’s still a sign on the sidewalk pointing guests inside.
Through the windows, we couldn’t see any signs of construction or removal of Ben & Jerry’s imagery. But if the Team Members we spoke to are correct, we might see some refurbishments here soon.
Are you sad to see Ben & Jerry’s go or do you love Haagen-Dazs? Let us know in the comments below.
Anyone who likes Haagen-Dazs more than Ben & Jerry’s is allowed to leave
