This is probably my favorite spot for ice cream in Austin, especially on late nights. Everyone has always been kind and friendly whenever I went to this location. And the inside is fairly spacious with plenty of seating. I always get the trio and it's perfect to share with a friend while trying different flavors. All time favorite has to be the brambleberry crisp, it's vanilla with light berry flavor and has crumbles in it. I believe Jeni's also has limited time flavors, and I can't remember which I had in the photo but it was also delicious! Forever a staple dessert spot. read more

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams - Brambleberry Crisp, Sweet Cream Biscuits & Peach Jam - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Austin, Texas

We've been to this location several more times since our last review a few years ago, but unfortunately, we're keeping it at three stars. We do have to say that the staffing and service has been better here. The folks we've encountered have always been very friendly and patient. Also, the freezer issues seem to have been resolved and the consistency of everything is good. Flavors can be hit-or-miss, but they're mostly really creative and delicious. We recently tried some British cake flavor that was incredible, and we always love the gooey butter cake (especially after having tried the real Mccoy in St. Louis). The reason why we can't rate this place higher is because the portions are SO SMALL. Like, they take their scoop, they get out the exact ping pong size ball that the scoop creates, and...that's it! That's your portion! Enjoy paying $7-8 for it! It's ice cream and it should be LOADED UP. Honestly, if this place served ice cream like it should be served, we'd probably give it five stars. Jeni: please go visit the greatest ice cream place in America: The Ice Cream Barn in Swansea, Massachusetts to learn a thing or two. Alas & tsk tsk. read more

Ice cream in January? How lucky am I ? The service was very friendly and gave good recommendations. I tried about three flavors before making a final decision. There are so many flavors available to suit whatever you're craving. I settled on the very dark chocolate and oooey gooey cake. There were chunks of ooey gooey cake mixed into the ice cream. I got mine in a waffle bowl. The waffle bowl so fresh and the flavor is amazing. This is coming from someone who typically hates waffle cones. But this one is different. It's so fresh and has a unique enjoyable flavor. I love this location because of the outside scenery! read more

I've had Jeni's ice cream a few times and I must say that the ice cream is HEAVEN on earth each and every time that I've made a visit. The service was reasonable, we waited about 5 mins but the wait is always worth it. The atmosphere is full of positive vibes which I love. I got the flavor that was advertised that day which was strawberry shortcake and omg it was soooo delicious. read more

I have to agree with a lot of the other reviews on here, the portions are soooo small for the price they charge!! A standard size is over $7.00, and the kids size is so tiny too, felt like 2 bites and it was gone. For over $28 for ice cream I wish our portion sizes were bigger. The one nice things was that they offer a cone for free with the scoop! read more

Jeni's is good. Honestly I think the prices are bit expensive for what you get. My small and my partner's cone came out to be $20. I tried the darkest chocolate and honey vanilla. Very tasty but again on the expensive side. 8/10 Waffle Cones read more

I was craving something really sweet after dinner one night (this was a couple months back - a little late on the review! eeek!), and this was in the same plaza. I was really glad because they did not disappoint! The staff were patient and ready with recommendations - I was not ready to pick which flavor to try! They actually have quite a roomy interior with a few tables. It would be perfect for a hangout or just to chill with friends and/or family. I tried the salted peanut butter and the blueberry crisp on a butter crisp waffle bowl! The flavors were incredibly vibrant, and the salted peanut butter was definitely the better of the two flavors I've tried. They also have merch available for purchase on a wall by the cashier along with a fridge with pints for take-home purchase! I think they offer solid choices of ice cream flavors with great service! read more

10/10, no notes on the icecream itself!! This ice cream shop had a pretty long line when I arrived around 8:30 pm, and it was totally worth it! The seasonal Earl Grey flavor inspired by Bridgerton was AMAZING. The Double Dough was also so good. I loved how all the flavors were rich without being overpowering. They're unique and genuinely great quality. The inside of the store is spacious but all the tables were dirty..): The service was okay but a little hectic as one moment I had someone helping me the next I didn't. read more

First time for my both my boyfriend and I trying Jeni's and we can't wait to go back. The flavors were really good and not too rich. I mostly stuck to berry and cake flavors and he had a lot of the nuttier options. We each got 3 half scoops and the employee who helped us definitely hooked it up and was super friendly. Loved this location and will definitely come back. I also love that they are open late. read more

We walked over after lunch to check out the seasonal flavors. The ice cream server (is there a better name for this?) was friendly and let us sample a few flavors. I usually hate samplers, but there was nobody in line so I indulged. There was a large selection and you could watch them make the waffle bowls. 100% recommend the waffle bowl. The shop was cute and clean, we opted to sit outside by the park. read more

The vibes here were incredible! Came here after dinner next door and was craving something sweet. I have not been to an ice cream shop in a while so I was excited to get a sweet treat. The staff were very kind and warm hearted. Classic ice cream shop with some amazing flavors. They got some unique flavors that I have never seen anywhere else. I had the standard which came with 3 ice cream flavors and I chose the brown butter almond brittle, Texas sheet cake, and buttercream birthday cake. The brown butter almond brittle was amazing and I love the bites of the almond candy. The Texas sheet cake was very rich with the chocolate cake and fudge. The buttercream birthday cake was one of the best birthday cake ice creams I have ever had. Spectacular ice cream shop with the amazing flavors and beautiful interior design. Most definitely a spot I would come back to on my next trip to Austin, Texas. read more

solid ice cream place in the triangle area that opens late (midnight or 1am) which i great for late night sweet cravings. i used to really love coming here but recently they removed some of my favorite flavors including wildberry lavender. they reason being it's too expensive to make... the service is always friendly and the inside is spacious and clean. read more

I have been in love with Jeni's ice cream ever since I first discovered them on North Short in Columbus, Ohio about 8 years ago. Their ice cream is always fresh and the flavors are truly original. The signature scoop is the best way to go because it allows you to try 3 different flavors at once. I tried the burnt orange dreamsicle, birthday cake and double dough! I usually frequent the Jeni's on SoCo, but this location is huge in comparison. It's a very clean store and the staff is awesome. Thank you Julian for taking care of us and for the wonderful smile! read more

Jeni's ice cream has always been one of my favorites, and the Jeni's at the Triangle is no exception. You're met with the aroma of delicious baked waffle cones upon entering, and friendly and efficient service. I tried the double dough, gooey butter cake, and burnt orange dreamsicle for the wild card pick. The creaminess of Jeni's ice cream is unmatched, and their flavors always pack a strong punch. The burnt orange dreamsicle tasted exactly like its namesake, and was so good that I hope Jeni's keeps it around longer than a seasonal flavor. The Triangle location is currently undergoing some construction, but they still have indoor and outdoor seating, as well as outdoor seating across the street. Overall a great place for a sweet treat! read more

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Austin, Texas

I will be 100% honest in my review of this place. I was having the worst experience with a restaurant in the area and my kids I were fed up and wanted a decent treat. I don't know who this absolute angel was but she helped me out in a way that made my whole day feel better. I am only here for the ACL weekend and am trying new places when I visit Austin, and I am confident when I say that I'll definitely be coming back. Shadya helped me out and she was amazing, she helped me translate everything and got me in and out really fast. I'll say it again, had it not been for her my day would have been really bad. (Translated from Google) read more

Gotta love an ice cream shop that allows samples, and extra kudos for reusable spoons (washable). Staff was patient with sample requests and helpful with suggestions. WIDE variety of different flavors, many unique with creative textures added to the creamy scoops. If you're not feeling like getting a whole waffle cone or bowl, no worries, a scoop will always come with a sample of the homemade waffle. A perfect bite of something that compliments ice cream. Thinking about froyo? (also located nearby) Jeni's also has a selection of froyo! read more

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams - Double Dough, Buttercream Birthday Cake, Darkest Chocolate with waffle bowl. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Austin, Texas

I came to Jeni's with 4 other people on a Saturday around 4 PM or so. The shop was not busy at all at that time. Ambiance: the shop is located in a shopping center next to numerous other restaurants and some apartments. It's a nice addition to the area, especially for those looking for something sweet. Inside is spacious, although there weren't a bunch of tables and chairs available. We were able to sit down together after getting our ice cream. Service: service was good, although there was only one employee working behind the counter when we arrived. There were 3 people ahead of us and a line began forming behind us, it felt like it took a little long for the employee to get to us given the 3 ahead of us were asking for samples and all. Food: I shared a waffle cup with my wife with the "Milkiest Chocolate," "Brambleberry Crisp," and "Salted Peanut Butter with Chocolate Flecks" flavors. They were all creamy, delicious, and SUPER sweet. Not the most amazing ice cream we've ever had, but it was still good!!! Would come back to try more flavors! read more

I ordered from Uber Eats on Thursday night because I had previously ordered from there. At $14.00 a pint, I was sure this was made with organic milk. I ordered dark chocolate and honey vanilla. The first thing is the vanilla had no flavor. But, the main thing is the ice cream was not made with grass fed and grass finished milk. How do I know, because me and my roomie had explosive flatulence for 2 nights after eating Jeni's Splendid ice cream. Grass fed and finished milk does not give you gas. I know, cause that's all I use at my house. So, why is it so expensive! read more

This is such a splendid spot. The staff was very nice and you can always try a sample before you commit to a whole pint of ice cream. A great spot to chill for ice cream. They always have new flavors that rotate. I highly recommend the butter cake. One of their most popular ice cream and really delicious. Also I recommend getting it in a waffle bowl for some extra flavor. read more

Jeni's always serves great ice cream. My favorite is the darkest chocolate, and recently I discovered that the rainbow buttermilk frozen yogurt is pretty good too! This location is quite small, so there's limited seats and very bustling, often leading to a line out the door. However, the line moves fast and you get unlimited samples, so it's great. I'll be back for another flight, which is a great deal if you're coming in a group willing to share! read more

Headed in on a random Monday evening around 7pm. Just a few folks in the shop, and the staff behind the counter took tons of time walking me through the options available. We talked personal favorites, crowd favorites, as well as seasonal options! I was able to taste a few that intrigued me, and I settled on white chocolate peppermint (I'm usually a mint chip guy) and Texas sheet cake (top seller here in TX). It was served in a cup with a waffle cone chip... beautiful presentation. Obviously the flavor was fantastic. Jeni's uses super high quality ingredients, and it really shows in the final product. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Twice now, I've been to this ice cream spot, and every single time, the staff has this annoying habit of asking, 'You guys are sharing this, right?' like it's some weird rule that we can't each order our own thing. The first time it was directed at me, and the second time, they did it to my boyfriend. It's super rude and honestly just makes the whole experience uncomfortable. We just want to enjoy our ice cream without being questioned about how we eat it. If you want to order what you actually want without feeling judged, this place seriously needs to rethink their attitude. read more

This is a cute little spot for some unique ice-cream. The flavor combos are original and the taste was pretty good. I will say that compared to other ice cream places this ice cream felt a little thin and light, but some people like that!

We love Jeni's!!! This place always offers delicious and unique flavors. My all time favorites are wild berry lavender and brown butter almond brittle in a bowl or waffle bowl. The waffle is freshly made in store, it tastes different than other waffle cones because they have some saltiness in it. The store is very spacious and located in a nice area. There is limited parking so it could be a challenge if this place gets crowded. read more

I can't recommend Jeni's enough for the oasis of cool it provides from the perpetual oven that Austin seems to be baking in. The ice creams are smooth and sweet, and the unique flavors make a lasting impression despite there being an almost overwhelming amount to experience. My favorites are the green mint chip and the honey vanilla bean, having just the right amount of sweetness. And the waffle cone or bowl is a must-have addition - the perfect vessel for delivering a crunchy and silky bite. The staff here are always kind, and are very patient with handing out multitudes of samples even after scooping ice cream all day. Though this can lead to longer lines, it makes ordering (and then delightfully consuming) that much better. This location is also a wonderful spot to chill with friends or go on a date - there is plentiful seating inside and the building is situated in a nice outdoor shopping mall. Although my lactose intolerance persists, I will continue to visit and try new flavors! An upset stomach is a small price to pay for sweet relief from temperatures of the triple digit sort. read more

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams - Brambleberry crisp, tahini oat, darkest chocolate - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Austin, Texas

Jeni's Ice Cream is always a solid choice for a sweet treat. I usually get their Brambleberry Crisp flavor. It really does taste like a pie in an ice cream form. The amount of sweetness is perfectly balanced with the tart berry flavors. I went through a phase of buying a pint almost every week. Their unique flavor combinations are what make them stand out. As well as the fact that everything always tastes so fresh and high quality. I do wish they offered more flavors though because I would be curious to try a cookies and cream flavor from them. The atmosphere in their stores is always welcoming and clean. Overall, it's a great place to go when you're looking for yummy higher quality ice cream. read more

Definitely recommend brambleberry. I haven't tried it before.sorry could not upload good picture of ice cream itself because of night. Plenty of space inside to go with big parties. They also keep summer special options. 2 scoop price: $6.95 3 scoop price: $7.70 They also have a 10 flights option for $21 (good when going in big groups) read more

First time I visited a Jeni's even though I am familiar with the brand. Only reason I didn't give five stars because for a scoop of ice cream, it is VERY expensive (around $6!), and for that price, it's not *that* special. I got the gooey butter cake flavor because it was the closest to birthday cake. They also give a little waffle piece with each bowl. I think you'd be better off buying the pints on sale from the grocery store than going to get one scoop from their brick-and-mortar, but I don't regret trying their ice cream finally! read more

Finally, an ice cream shop that rivals Milk + Sugar in Houston. Now I typically like to stick to local eateries, but Jeni's is a chain I can get behind. They have unique pairings, but my fav is the salted peanut butter with chocolate flecks. You must get it in a waffle cone because they have a touch of saltiness to perfectly balance the sweetness of the ice cream. If Jeni's is involved, count me in! read more
