Jeni's Ice Creams earns rapturous reviews for rich, ultra‑creamy texture and inventive, true‑to‑label flavors like Brambleberry Crisp, Gooey Butter Cake, and Brown Butter Almond Brittle, confirming the brand is excellent.

  • I love Jeni’s! As a frequent visitor to the great city of Columbus, OH I make it a point to stop and get some of this stuff whenever I can. The store always has a line out the door- for a good reason! The ice cream is delicious, creamy, and flavorful- all without being too heavy and filling.

  • so YUM brambleberry crisp is my all time favorite flavor! pro tip if you live by a Jenis store you can show your id to get free ice cream on your birthday :)

  • TBH a little overrated in my opinion but the taste and quality is there. I have never had store bought, only bought the ice cream at a physical Jeni's store. I do truly enjoy this ice cream, some people just go feral for it, so it does have a loyal following. Insane flavors too, no reason for an everything but the bagel flavored ice cream.

  • Jeni’s ice creams are the best!! Skillet cinnamon roll and gooey butter cake are two of my favorites! They have such unique flavors and are so rich and creamy. Perfect dessert choice!

  • Love Jennis! I’m lucky enough to have a few of their stores nearby - if you’ve smelt the aroma of their freshly toasted cones… you know! However, the experience and flavor holds up at home when you buy the pints from the supermarket too. The price is pretty favorable when compared to the in store prices. Delicious!!!

  • Made with really fresh, high quality ingredients in flavors that are simultaneously familiar and innovative. Everything has a nice dash of salt that I really love. Especially recommend the Brown Butter Almond Brittle.

  • Highest quality ice cream there is. For indulgent snackers who don't care about the label, this will beat out any competitor in a taste test. None beat what you get at their stores though.

  • Jeni's Gooey Butter Cake is my absolute favorite ice cream! The high-quality ingredients and how delicious it is make the price worth it for me. It is not something I buy all the time, but I love splurging on it!

  • This is the one. If aliens came to earth and said “hey aileron (they would consistently mispronounce my name) what’s some E-arth food thing we should try to really get the E-arth food experience? Pizza. (Good Brooklyn pizza.) Dom. One of those absurd $trawberries from Japan. Fresh Parisian /kʁwa.sɑ̃/ And Jeni’s Ice Cream. 5 flavors. Because there is a five pint minimum order. Brambleberry Crisp. Gooey Butter Cake. Blackout Chocolate Cake. Brandied Banana Brûlée. Coffee with Cream and Sugar. That would totally suffice. That would also be my ask for my last meal if I was ever convicted of a capital crime that I did not commit. Or stranded on a ‘dessert-ed’ island with nothing else but reliable refrigeration and a volleyball. The creamy density is off the charts. They seem to be aggressively working to keep air out of the mix when others put it in. Each flavor combination exists in a perfectly harmonious balance which is not cloying not too sweet when it seems on paper like it will be a sugar bomb. (It absolutely is a sugar bomb, but deceptively concealed within a careful architecture of complementary flavors. Yes, flavor architecture. It’s not magic. It is complicated science. Refrigerator. Perfect ice cream. Order. Eat. Share. (Share! Do. not. eat. Five. Pints. By yourself in one day. You will regret that. Trust.) The memory of it will be incandescent.

  • Jeni's is hands down my favorite ice cream. Specifically, the peanutbutter chocolate and the gooey butter cake are bust buys for me. I would choose Jeni's over any other brand of ice cream if given the chance. I only wish they weren't so expensive, but I don't mind paying up for the evident quality.

  • Tried the jelly donut ice cream and it was so scrumptious. I’m a big fan of textures and drizzled flavors in my ice cream. This was dessert!

  • Brambleberry - need I say anything more?! My absolute favorite of all time.
