Jeni's Ice Creams wins praise in reviews for its ultra-creamy texture, inventive flavors like Brambleberry Crisp, Gooey Butter Cake, and Brown Butter Almond Brittle, and strong dairy-free/gluten-free options—so yes, the brand is good. Reviews also flag drawbacks: many find it very sweet and rich, inconsistently punchy by flavor, prone to freezer burn or iciness in pints, and expensive compared to alternatives.

  • There's not a whole bunch to say other than Jeni's continues to be my go-to icecream brand. Flavor, consistency, optionality, and novelty all take the cake.

    Feedback

    I'd love to continue to see more non-dairy alternatives rolled out with the same Jeni's vigor as the rest of the product line—possibly even non-dairy alternatives to some of the classics (like Salted Peanut Butter and Chocolate Flecks).

  • The cutest packaging and in-store experience. Rich, creamy, decadent flavors. Truly the best (indulgent) ice cream brand.

    Feedback

    Go to their South Congress store in Austin, TX for a cute, fun time.

  • Fun ice cream flavors, but I like some more than others. Great gift idea though if you have someone who misses Jeni's or just loves ice cream!

  • Can’t beat the flavors but pints are generally overpriced. It used to be one of the only speciality ice creams I’d see at the grocery store, but now that there’s so many, other comparable options are significantly cheaper/equally as tasty

  • A creamy delight! I love their small containers that have a little spoon inside. The lemon buttermilk flavor is my favorite!

    Feedback

    It is an expensive treat. Maybe making the sizing and price point a little more appealing.

  • My favorite ice cream of all time!! I would get all of them if I could. They taste just as good as the ones in the stores.

  • Jeni's ice cream flavors are creative and fun! My only qualm is the level of sweetness... I know that sounds kind of crazy given it's ice cream, but for ice cream I thought it was too sweet. For reference, I am a big fan of Ben & Jerry's, Baskin Robbins, Haagen Das, etc. Tasty ice cream, but maybe in small doses?

  • I’m not sure what the hype is about. This ice cream tastes terrible and is extremely over priced.

    Feedback

    Most people like it so it may just be my palate, but it’s absolutely not worth the cost. There are much cheaper, better tasting ice cream available.

  • Incredible ice cream and innovative flavors, and loved the delivery!

    Feedback

    Really fun and decadent gift, love this idea!

  • Jenis ice cream is delicious, I love the ice cream shops and the pint ice cream that they sell. They have a good variety

  • Great flavors and distinctive packaging! Creamy and rich and delicious! High quality ingredients make for a great product. Definitely a treat and worth the extra money it costs.

    Feedback

    The price!

  • Jeni's really changed the ice cream game and popularized the idea of exploring more interesting ice cream flavors. I've been pleasantly surprised by some of the "weird" flavors I've tried – like Bananas & Honey or Wildberry Lavender. But the"normal" flavors are just as good – I particularly love High Five Candy Bar, Salted Peanut Butter With Chocolate Flecks, and Milkiest Chocolate. The pints are a bit expensive for me to justify as a regular purchase, but I love visiting an actual Jeni's shop now and then for a treat!

    Feedback

    Just keep exploring new flavors!

  • My favorite ice cream brand! So exciting to now be able to buy these products in the frozen section of Whole Foods. My favorite flavor has got to be the brambleberry crisp and the brown butter almond butter. This is the creamiest ice cream out there.

  • Truly the best! I have loved Jeni's for years and am thrilled it's finally getting its flowers. The flavors are perfectly sweet and rich and are an amazing treat.

    Feedback

    The flavor range for pints is a bit limited (generally a lot in the same flavor family)

  • Love Jeni's! Before this was widely available in stores, and in standalone shops near me, I would purchase online and send to my family as gifts for the holidays. The shipping packaging was amazing in the sense that it was ice cream and they handled it really well. Everyone loved getting this as a gift. I still buy Jeni's at the store and visit the shop in my neighborhood and it never disappoints.

    Feedback

    More flavor selections in the stores - Fishtown is my current store and it seems they always carry the best sellers. Would love to try wedding cake:)

  • Such good flavors. Very expensive for a small portion but worth the $$. You can tell quality ingredients are used.

    Feedback

    Maybe make slightly larger containers! The pints just isn’t enough!

  • I adore Jeni's unique flavors and how creamy it is. I first tried it in one of their brick-and-mortar stores and am so glad that I can purchase pints.

    Feedback

    It is hard to find certain flavors as most stores only carry a couple

  • Delicious flavors. Just so fun. Great packaging. I’ve even enjoyed it shipped and that was fantastic (what a world we live in!). Worth the splurge!

  • This is my favorite ice cream -- there used to be a shop near where I lived, but eventually I moved away and was bummed that I couldn't go anymore. I'm so glad to find these at my local Whole Foods now!
