Definitely lives up to the hype!! I got the salty caramel , and man could you taste the flavors! The raspberry cheesecake is amazing also. Highly recommend it!

Scott Byerly

You can't go wrong with any of the flavors here. Columbus' original comes to Chicago with their first location here on Southport Ave. Try the Salted Caramel . They made it before it was popular!

Diana Metzger

Best ice cream in the world. Try some of the unique flavors and they always have such fresh ingredients and friendly staff ! Lucky Chicago. We want a DC Jeni's!!!

Nick Barella

New Tyler the Creator “Snowflake” flavor is to die for. Also recommend pairing gooey butter cake with salted caramel in a butter crisp waffle cone .

Serious Eats

Looking to fulfill that sweet tooth of yours? Come to Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams and try the brown butter almond brittle & darkest chocolate . They're bound to leave you wanting more! Read more

Tiffany Wong

actually incredible! great texture, flavor selection, ability to sample (now with small metal spoons!). and it always smells amazing inside because of the handmade waffle cones .

Monika Bun

Unique, but tasty flavors, like cornbread , ginger , & churro . If you want something tart & sweet, wildberry lavender is the way to go.

Melissa

Always try as many flavors as you can to make the best combination! Waffle cones are always worth it.

Chicago Tribune

Stay true to the favorites with a scoop of coffee , pistachio sweetened with a hint of Ohio wildflower honey . ($4.50 for two scoops, $5.50 for three scoops; $1 for waffle cone ) Read more

Le Jordan

Definitely the best ice cream I've ever tasted! They let us try every flavor before we picked!

Sean Maccarone-Reed

Pumpkin ice cream was the bob dot com. Get it as a sundae with fresh whipped cream and a waffle cone wedge. Best ice cream in Chicago .

Matt Dicker

The goat cheese with red cherries ice cream is the best ice cream I've tasted in a long, long time.

Bobbi B.

The Pineapple Upside Down Cake Buttermilk frozen yogurt is a do-not-miss flavor during the summer. (But honestly, everything here is great. EVERYTHING.)

V

THE BEST! Blamberry crisp and red cherry with goat cheese are my favorites!

Eleni

Finally, the best of Columbus comes to Chicago. The flavors are creative and you'll crave them afterwards. Anything with lavender is to die for!

Gabriel Acosta

Best ice cream in Chicago . Homemade whip cream and toppings really send their treats over the top. A 'do not miss'!

Serious Eats

Extra creamy and creatively flavored, Jeni's has a remarkably ability to make other ice cream seem one dimensional—like it's missing something.

Kevin Dulin

The salted caramel was a massive disappointment. Couldn't taste any Carmel . The brown butter almond brittle was Devine however! The Bangkok Peanut was also very good especially if you like curry .

Time Out Chicago

The sweet corn and black raspberry ice cream at Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams is one of the 100 best things we ate this year. http://tmout.us/rLOtk

Ryan

You really can't go wrong, though pricey . Askinosie chocolate , sweet potato with toasted marshmallow , peak Riesling sorbet , goat cheese and cherry .

hooeyspewer .

They sell insulated carriers so you can buy more of that Salted Caramel , Brown Butter Almond Brittle or any other yummy ice cream and transport it home 😊

Jessica Marhee

Everything is so good!! Expensive but the quality makes it worth is. I got salty peanut butter with chocolate shavings .

Linda Hua

Jeni’s has all the flavours to please every sweet tooth! Frosé sorbet all day.

Autumn Choi

House made buttery waffle cones and literally every flavor - brambleberry crisp and wildberry lavender

Matt Dicker

I know it sounds weird, but the goat cheese with cherries ice cream is wonderful.

Kevin Newman

The Salty Caramel with Smoked Almonds cookie sandwich is probably one of the best ice cream cookies I've ever had.

Shannon Jeropke

The goat cheese and cherry is surprising tasty and pairs well with the dark chocolate .

Vally

Lots of different unique types of Ice cream and its nice they let you sample them too

Julia K

Salted peanut butter is the BEST! Aka PB dream, according to my boyfriend

Zak Slayback

Get the whisky ice cream ! It actually tastes like whisky , unlike most attempts at the flavor!

Stephanie

Order outside and then you can skip the line and just go get your ice cream inside. The berry lavender is divine.

Fatima A

A wide variety of flavors! You can try as many as u like. Love it

Redeye Chicago

Order a scoop or take home pints of flavors such as salty caramel , wildberry-lavender and whiskey-pecan. Read more

Dustin Haley

Probably some of the best ice cream in Chicago ! Highly recommend!

Kevin C.

Brown butter almond brittle . So good that it's worth leaving a tip on foursquare to recommend it.

Carolyn Baumgarten

Definitely lives up to the hype. Try to peach and biscuit ice cream -- delicious!

Maggie

Intelligentsia espresso coffee , do it!

will.i.am.not

The toasted brioche with apricot jam is worth the $20/pint or whatever it costs.

Garlanda Freeze-Puzio

Dark chocolate is to die for! Small is all you need for yummy goodness!

Heather Williams

I think a new favorite flavor of mine is the Riesling poached pear sorbet !!!

Tammy

Brambleberry crisp and brown butter almond brittle are the neighborhood 's faves!

Linette Rose

Some serious flavor in these ice creams . Delicious!

Jeff Early

Best ice cream in the country . Creative blends.

Tiffany

Try the brown butter pecan brittle flavor or the darkest chocolate

Hemangini Shah

I didn't enjoy any flavor. Nothing was awesome. Plus their cup size is weird. They need change their cup design especially for Sundays. Don't think will visit this place again.

Colin Lord

Be sure to try the samples. There aren't any bad choices!

Tyler

Wonderfully creamy, creative ice cream .

Sonja Rusnak

Take advantage of the tastings. My favorite flavors are ones I didn't think I'd like.

Tracey Ward

Great samples... And great suggestions for flavor mixes and gravel!

Blane Sims

Everything is good, especially the ice cream .
