My husband had the ice cream nachos with butterscotch dip and rainbow sprinkles, Our favorite part of these were the waffle chips. Would highly recommend that dish. The shop is cute but got very busy while we were there and there was only one employee. I felt really bad for her because she got swamped but she handled it well. Definitely give it a try if you are in the area.

If you're as indecisive as I am, they'll gladly let you sample a few before committing. The shop itself is bright, clean, and welcoming, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The colorful decor and festive atmosphere make it a fun place to sit and enjoy your ice cream rather than just grabbing it to go. The hardest part was choosing from all the unique flavors. Everything I sampled was delicious, and the scoop I ended up with was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. You can tell they put a lot of thought into creating combinations that are both creative and genuinely tasty. Whether you're a local or just visiting Durham, Jeni's is absolutely worth a stop for a sweet treat. Great ice cream, great atmosphere, and even better customer service. Bonus points for making a birthday afternoon feel a little more special.

They accidentally gave me the milk chocolate ice cream (pictured here) and later swapped it out for darkest when I asked. The ice cream is mediocre in my opinion and leans on the sweeter side. The ambiance and seating in here is plentiful. I came here with 10+ colleagues and we ended up sitting at the high top bar, not pictured. My main qualm with Jeni's is the temperature inside the store; it was freezing inside even though I was fully dressed in business casual with a sweater.

It's a vanilla based ice cream with peanut butter m&m cookie dough. I thought I loved cookie dough before, but peanut butter and m&ms mixed in took it to another level. Service was quick and polite. The Durham store was clean with a few tables downstairs. They did have an upstairs area, but I did not venture that way. My husband and I took our ice cream to go and ate near a fire pit right outside the store. There is a parking lot nearby as well with other restaurants and stores in the area. If you're able to go before the podcaster series is up, I highly recommend making your way to Two Roosters. I'm looking forward to what August brings for monthly flavors!

We waited 20 minutes for our "hand rolled" Dubai chocolate ice cream. The vanilla ice cream base was very meh. I've had better vanilla ice cream from the grocery store. The toppings were also meh. I have had chocolate Dubai gelato before and been absolutely wowed. The only wow I have for this place is that it was actually busy and that it has so many great reviews.

Came here because of the flood of glowing reviews and was immediately greeted by what can only be…read moredescribed as an Instagram/TikTok fever dream. The place is undeniably cute... but all the signs looked painfully AI-generated, which gave the whole aesthetic a weird, soulless vibe. We ordered the s'mores rolled ice cream to split since it was $10. It wasn't even busy on a Monday evening, yet we waited about 25 minutes with only 3-4 people ahead of us. They were training a new employee and everyone seemed genuinely kind, so that's not my issue at all--I just didn't expect to spend nearly half an hour waiting for one rolled ice cream. Now for the real tragedy.... Maybe the wait would've been worth it if the ice cream had been good, but it was one of the strangest textures I've ever had. It was unbelievably gritty, almost like someone froze watery almond milk and called it ice cream. Every bite somehow managed to be both icy and grainy at the same time. The whipped cream tasted like absolutely nothing, which I didn't even know was possible. The only redeeming part was the toasted marshmallow on top. Cute shop, nice employees, but the ice cream itself was such a disappointment that I won't be coming back.

We planned to share a banana split, but unfortunately they were out of bananas, which was a bit of a bummer. Even on a cold day, the ice cream was still delicious. There's plenty of outdoor seating where you can enjoy the view, and I'd definitely come back when it's warmer--hopefully with bananas back in stock so I can finally get that banana split!

I was beginning to wonder if we would make it in before 9:00 when they closed. There is not a store except a freezer with milk and ice creams. You can get ice cream in a cone or a cup. I noticed almost everyone had a cup. You can choose one to four scoops and they have a wide variety of toppings. I got one scoop of butter pecan and one scoop of praline. Both were full of nuts. I liked the praline best. They had chairs on the porch and tables to the side. Many brought a blanket to sit on. Interesting place but I have had better ice cream.
