  • Love love love this icecream so much. There are a few stores in my area and I love visiting, trying the flavors and eating a big scoop outside. There are so many amazing flavors to choose from too!

    Feedback

    Obviously ice cream is sweet, but some of their flavors are a little too extra sweet for me.

  • Jeni’s has some of the best and most interesting ice cream flavors on the market. It feels like an artisanal product, so I get it when I’m feeling a little fancy. I even had the Everything Bagel flavor, and it was wild!

    Feedback

    It’s quite pricey for ice cream.

  • Incredible flavors. The Goey Butter Cake is probably my fav ice cream flavor ever. And now that Target sells Jeni’s, I pick up a pint almost every week.

    Feedback

    The price point of $9 per pint can be quite high.

  • Jeni’s is really the best ice cream out there. You can taste the rich, creamy, wholesome ingredients and their flavors are phenomenal! Brambleberry Crisp is the best berry pie ice cream I’ve ever had, and their Frose sorbet is so luxurious and fruity! I’ve had the ice cream served fresh in the shop, and it tastes almost as good in the pint!

    I wish there were more store locations!

  • I’ve seen this brand for a while and finally decided to give it a go. Very tasty and high quality ice cream! I was really impressed with the flavor I got (wild berry lavender). Very unique flavor and I absolutely loved it! Will absolutely buy again when I get an urge for ice cream.

  • Literally the best ice cream on the market. I refuse to buy another brand! There is a Jeni's shop located close to my home and it's so tempting. They have amazing, unique specials for different seasons and are constantly introducing delicious ice creams into their line up. I love the variety and the original flavors are just as addicting.

  • Jenni’s ice cream is just that girl😩 their waffle cones are absolutely delicious and sweet and has that sort of sugary/salty crunch and slight grit that pairs so well with sweet ice cream. My favorite flavors are the brown butter almond brittle and coffee. The almond brittle pieces are such a nice added crunch to the dessert as a whole!

  • I love Jeni’s ice cream. It’s so rich and creamy and they’re always introducing new and interesting flavors. The bramble erry crisp is my favorite!

  • I read an article that mentioned that all true foodies have jenis in their freezer. I think I cried a little bit when I tried it for the first time, it was so delicious. It really is somehow that much more delicious. At their stores they make ice cream for dogs!! This is my dog rejecting hers.

  • I haven't met a Jeni's flavor that I don't like. I think my favorite part about this brand is their unique flavor choices, followed closely by the fact that every bite is packed with flavor and tasty ingredients. They are my go-to scoop shop in Pittsburgh and my first choice in the freezer section.

  • Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream in Athens, GA, is an absolute gem!

Every scoop is a taste of heaven, with creamy textures and bold, inventive flavors that never disappoint. Whether you're a fan of classic favorites like Salty Caramel or adventurous enough to try something new like Brambleberry Crisp, Jeni's has something for everyone. Plus, their commitment to using high-quality, locally sourced ingredients shines through in every bite. If you're in Athens and craving a sweet treat, Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream is an absolute must-visit destination!

    Customer!
  • I used to visit Jeni’s cafe when we lived In Nashville, that’s how I discovered my all time’s favorite - Wildberry Lavender. It has lavender in it, but most important - black current berry which is quite unusual and is my favorite! I was happy when I came across Jeni’s at my usual grocery store. Now I always have my favorite treat in my fridge.

  • Jeni's ice cream continues to be the ice cream of choice for me and my wife! Every flavor, from the classics like Milkiest Chocolate to the limited editions like Lonely Ghost, taste so amazing! And to have great vegan options only makes this ice cream all the better!

  • AMAZING ICE CREAM! Has a great balance of introducing new flavors without getting rid of the classics, Their waffle cones have an amazing aroma that hits you even 10 feet outside of the store. great seating. line tends to be long especially in the evening but they are great at keeping it moving! My go to is the rainbow buttermilk on a waffle cone! it may not be to everyone’s liking so make sure to sample it!

  • Ohhh my goodness. I cannot say enough good things about Jeni’s ice cream! They are by far my favorite ice cream brand and the best treat when I’m craving something sweet. The flavors are so unique and sometimes adventurous, but I have literally never tried a flavor I have not enjoyed. Some I may not choose to get a whole scoop of (lookin’ at you Everything Bagel 👀), but still tasty and so well thought out. I also love that they have DAIRY FREE options that are just as delicious and unique as the dairy full ones. They may be a little pricey, but they are worth the money and the calories! All around best splurge in every way. 🍦

  • My favorite ice cream used to be Ben & Jerry's Americone Dream - I still get it from the grocery store every once in a while. But my life *changed* for the better once I discovered the Jeni's ice cream shoppe in the nearby Calabasas Commons. OMG this is seriously high quality artisanal goodness. I typically get the trio of ice cream scoops that comes with a waffle cone wedge. I appreciate the explanation of ice cream terminology that they include on their napkins. And perhaps best of all, the company is a certified B Corp, so they have business practices that are ethical, regenerative, and conscientious. 5 spoons up from me 🥄🥄🥄🥄🥄

  • I go to Jeni's when I'm sad, I go to Jeni's when I'm happy. Jeni's is for all occasions. I'm fortunate enough to live in a city where there are multiple locations and it's sold by the pint in majority of my local grocery stores. My favorite flavors are honey vanilla bean, gooey butter cake and buttercream birthday cake! The ice cream is smooth and full of flavor, I might have to take a quick trip for dessert tonight!

  • Jenni's Ice Cream is one of the standard setters in amazing ice creams!!! Holy smokes is it good. Really really good. I can get it locally at Whole Foods but you can also have it sent online. I was actually introduced to Jenni's Ice Cream when a friend sent some as a "care package" during a difficult time--which was a pretty great idea 🙂 She's not even stingy with the recipes which is really neat!! If you are motivated and have the right tools you can also recreate your favorite flavors at home!! Purchasing them is rather easier though...🍨

    I would love to live in an imaginary world where this ice cream retained it's lucious texture and all the wonderful flavors but somehow had zero calories. Otherwise, honestly, this is an amazing product where no improvement are needed.

  • I've passed by the Los Angeles location many times but only tried their ice cream recently. I have to say that I wish I tried their ice creams years ago! Their gooey butter cake was an amazing texture, with the right level of sweetness. I've also tried their brown butter almond brittle which is a customer's favorite. The story behind the ice cream development was also very memorable and adds a nice touch overall.

    Feedback

    I love all the flavors already but also love to see new cultural flavors!

  • Tasted Jeni’s Goey Butter Cake Ice Cream and it was love at first bite! I’m obsessed with this flavor because gory butter cake was a childhood favorite, and I was so excited to learn that this flavor is gluten free! I like that it is soft even when coming straight from the freezer to first bite, and the ratio of ice cream to mix-ins is just right!

    Feedback

    Having more gluten-free options or even making all options gluten-free would be a positive upgrade for me!
