Opaque Bundle
Lauren S.

The waffle cones will lure you in with its siren call. Don't forget the rotating flavors! There are some really good ones. My current favorite standard flavors are double dough and brambles berry crisp. Don't let the long line scare you, as the staff is very efficient in serving the line. There isn't much seat but ambience and decor is very cute with the bright colors and good vibes

Decor

The worker was nice and let me sample some flavors before buying anything. I love how they use tiny metal spoons when giving you the sample! Great for the earth. In the end, I got 2 scoops of Brown butter almond brittle in a black cone. Texture was nothing to note. Flavor was out of this world! I wish this place were closer to the beach because it's giving ice cream after beach vibes.

Single Scoop in Waffle Cone.

It was scorching hot and humid outside, so we stopped by for some ice cream to cool us down. We were able to sample a few flavors before deciding. For the smallest size, you get two half scoops for ~$7. I like that you get more flavors to choose from because that's always a difficult task to decide. There's also a nice, clean bathroom for use. Even the ice cream in a cup gets a piece of waffle cone, which is fun. I'm a sucker for a waffle cone, but it wasn't that crunchy (maybe from my ice cream melting away).

Flavor selection

The staff was friendly and welcomed everyone who came in. You can sample anything they have available, and they use reusable mini spoons for sampling, little win. I came in and sampled their two dairy free/vegan flavors, Texas Sheet Cake and Lemon Bar. The first one is a rich chocolate, definitely decadent. The second, just a bit tart, creamy and so refreshing. I got a small, which is 2 scoops, of just the Lemon Bar flavor. The icecream is served with a little waffle cookie, which isn't vegan, so if you're dairy and egg free let the staff know not to add it. There were some tables in the back, the bar along the wall, and a bench in the front of the store to sit. It's a popular spot in Charleston and rightfully so!

If you're in the area and want a sweet treat, this is the place! Their ice cream here tastes better than the pints they sell at the store. I enjoyed their seasonal peppermint ice cream. The employees were friendly. There's no seating outside, but there's a few chairs inside to enjoy your dessert. I'll be coming back!

Apple cinnamon crumble and brambleberry crumble
Stacey R.

Just say yes to Jeni's! It was my first visit and it was a delicious one. They were generous with the samples and had lots of unique flavors, as well as tride and true flavors. The waffle cones smelled great and tasted even better - sweet with a little salty! I got a waffle cone with a scoop of apple cinnamon crumble and brambleberry crumble. Absolutely devine. I will say there's not much seating and I can't comment on parking since I walked from downtown. But the downtown location on kings street is great, and I believe ice cream is best eaten while strolling anyway. Definitely hope to come back soon!

Two small scoops of Bramble Berry Crisp ice cream. My wife ordered this!

We stopped in for a snack and so glad we did! I loved my ice cream and waffle cone! In my opinion the waffle cone had the best flavor I've had with a waffle cone. It was full of flavor..... Then when you add the Buttercream Birthday Cake ice cream on top of it Oh My Gosh so good! My wife ordered the two small scoops of Bramble Berry Crisp ice cream. She said it was very good and loved it! We highly recommend Jeni's Splendid ice cream! The staff were super friendly. The shop was clean and well decorated and organized. They have so many varieties of ice cream to choose from and it's so hard to make a decision.

Double Dough  Brown Butter Almond Brittle

Lots of new limited flavors You can two flavors with the standard order Many workers taking orders at the same time to make the line go quickly A small indoor seating area with three tables and is clean as well

Jeni's was one of the best ice cream shops I've been to. Their waffle cones have a unique flavor like they are homemade. They have an extra bit of sweetness which makes them stand out. I tried the vanilla honey kids size and my daughter and I shared it. It was phenomenal. Not overly sweet, the flavor was really nice. The workers were very nice and helpful. Price was fair for a kids size. I will be back in the future for more.

I attempted to order Opaque. I considered the flavors and realized I have a taste for chocolate. That's quite good!
Jeni K.

I ordered Opaque. I tried the flavor, and it tasted like...chocolate. That's pretty good!

Three half-scoop sampler.
Josh B.

A fantastic and affordable premium ice cream shop on King Street. The staff is very friendly, they offer unlimited samples, and have a great variety of unique flavors. Also worthy of mention is that they have a military discount and the bathrooms are stocked with feminine supplies if your wife, girlfriend, or daughters need it.

Loved their ice cream, and flavor varieties. Definitely some unique flavors if that is your thing! Not a lot of indoor seating, so plan accordingly. Staff was friendly and fast. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed the flavors and flavors and the half scoop options to be able to try more flavors without gorging ourselves on ice cream.

What's the update on the vegan options? All the answers are pretty old.

There's still plenty of vegan options!

Is any of this dairy free or vegan ice cream?

They do have dairy free options. Earlier this summer the DC location offered salted caramel.

My husband, his parents, and I went to Kaminsky's at around 8:30ish on a weeknight for a sweet…read moretreat. It's a super small establishment with a few tables and some bar seating. Luckily, we were able to be seated immediately but it was very close quarters with surrounding tables. The menu is vast with different dessert options. If you want to know what cakes are available, you should check out the display stand right when you enter. Since we were there 2.5 hours before closing, there didn't seem to be a lot of cake options available, but my husband and I decided to share a slice of the s'mores cake with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream to make it à la mode. The s'mores cake was a chocolate cake with mini marshmallows, chocolate fudge, graham crackers, and more marshmallows. The cake was good and had everything I could ever want in it, but it was a little dry. I think this also had to do with it being the end of the night. The ice cream complemented the flavor well. It would have been better with a second scoop of ice cream though. Service was great! It took about 10 minutes from when we ordered to get our dessert. I would probably come back here again, but not so late at night so there would be fresher cake with more options available.

We gave Kaminsky's Dessert Cafe a second try, but unfortunately they couldn't redeem themselves. On…read moreboth visits, service was lacking. We waited about 5 to 10 minutes to be acknowledged while two employees stood nearby. The two layer chocolate caramel pecan cake, which our waitress initially could not find, was dry and tasted stale. I would not order it again. The Tollhouse pie was a bit better, but the presentation and the whipped cream were the standouts, and the whipped cream wasn't even homemade! That's the best thing I could say about our experience. The food, pricing, service, and ambiance all fell below average. When you are located downtown with so many great dessert options around, you really need to step up your game. We will not be returning.
