While downtown, decided to stop for some ice cream and this spot was recommended so decided to check it out. The staff, he was very friendly and was helpful when asking questions regarding flavors. I sampled the goat cheese and berries and surprisingly found it tasty, just like a cheesecake. The inside was large with a few tables and accessible restrooms in the back of the building. The vibrant colors filled the room and there was merchandise in the front by entrance for purchase read more

Don't even walk past their doors unless you either plan to stop in for a scoop or you have incredible self control. The smell of sweet, sugary ice cream that hits you as soon as you walk in is incredible. As someone who loves ending my dad with ice cream, this was a great stop while in Charleston. There was a bit of line but the team behind the counter was fast and still so kind, offering samples before you could even ask. I tried the Goat Cheese with Red Cherries ice cream and was immediately hooked. So many incredible looking flavors Delicious ice cream Big space with room to sit/stand Prime loc right on the busy ave I mightttt have gotten a pint of Jennys from our grocery store after getting back to Jersey we loved it so much. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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). read more

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams - Single Scoop in Waffle Cone. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

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! read more

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.

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! read more

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. read more

Brownie points because they are amazing at dealing with allergies. I ordered chocolate and mint chip (labeled gluten free) and didn't think to mention my celiac (it was late, I was tired after a long day of traveling). He handed me my cup and it had a waffle cone chip on it. I apologized and told him I had a gluten allergy and wouldn't be able to eat the ice cream. He promptly gave the ice cream to someone else in my party, and went in the back to get fresh ice cream tubs and clean scoops. I really appreciated his thoroughness and apologized for not alerting him sooner. He was very kind about it. Overall, that was a great experience. I'm only giving 4 stars for the ice cream itself. It was solid and pretty good overall, but not my favorite. 5 stars for the service though! read more

Avary and Daniel were so great! Both had great attitude working the late shift. The ice cream is delicious! Very creamy and rich. I was torn between two flavors, but Avary let me know that they do half scoops -- two scoops for the price of one. I ordered the Darkest Chocolate and Double Dough cookie dough ice cream. I would love to know the recipe for their waffle cones because it is so freaking delicious ha ha. read more

Very friendly people! And good ice cream is always welcome. This stuff is YUMMY! It's pricey, otherwise I would rate it some higher. The taste was delicious. read more

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. read more

What's better than treating yourself to ice cream after walking around Charleston? Jeni's had classic favorites and some interesting different flavors. I had wanted to try the goat cheese and cherry flavor but it had what looked to be graham cracker crust in it and I have to avoid gluten. I ended up getting a scoop of brown butter almond brittle and a scoop of salty caramel. Both were delicious! Everyone in our group had different flavors and they were all yummy! read more

I write this review on the other side of the country thinking "brambleberry crisp". I think my second flavor was the sweet cream biscuits and peach jam, but I have no clue, I'm just guessing. I've only been here once as I was visiting a friend so I can only speak on the one flavor I remember, but there is a reason it's still on my mind. I wish I took a picture, but I think I was just excited to eat. This place is amazing because if you order a scoop in a cup, not only do you get to split your scoop to try multiple flavors, they also include a little waffle cone! Staff is super friendly and although I only got one sample as I'm always afraid of asking for multiple, they probably would've given them to me. It's a pretty spacious place with cute decorations. There are multiple stations with the same flavors so as you walk down the line to pay, don't feel like you missed out on any flavors. There is also a special flavor and when I visited, it was some sort of chili oil one which I would've gotten because it sounded good. If you have no clue what to get, there are combinations on the menu that pair multiple flavors together. Overall, a sweet place for a sweet treat. So yeah, I live on the other coast, but if I still think about the brambleberry crisp and you're still reading this review, then you it's a sign should definitely go try it. read more

We loved it!! Tons of flavours to choose from, and smelt like fresh WaffleCone when we walked in! My kids all got Chocolate, except for Nolan who got Double Dough. The wife got Butter Cream Birthday. I got the Gooey Butter Cake and sampled some other flavors, the workers were very nice, and the place looked really cool! We all ate so fast it was AMAZING!!! 100% would come back. read more

Jeni's ice cream is undeniably delicious, but I prefer to just get it at the grocery store in a pint. It's much more economical that way, and that way I am guaranteed to get my favorite flavors (such as gooey butter cake). Very, very nice staff. You can expect a long wait during tourist season, especially on the weekends. read more

Stopped in to cool off and to check out the flavors. The guy behind the counter was super helpful and offered all sorts of samples (all delish, btw!). I landed on a waffle cone with a 1/2 scoop of buttercream cake and 1/2 scoop of toasted marshmallow. Both were fantastic. Elected to stay an eat-in, which was a good thing because the ice cream was really soft and would have melted very quickly out in the heat/humidity. Would recommend. Enjoy! read more

Scoopers were so sweet and were patient with us when we were trying different flavors before we made our purchase. Our absolute favorites were the almond brittle (not too sweet), buttery cake (more on the sweeter side), and the dark chocolate (not so bitter). We came around the time when it wasn't busy, so we were able to avoid long lines, sit indoors, and enjoy our ice cream. Pretty quiet inside! read more

Stopped by for some ice cream after a meal at the Darling Oyster Bar. I ordered the waffle come which I was not a fan of compared to other non-biscuit-based waffle cones. It didn't have a vanilla flavor like The ice cream was not bad. Once again I was not a fan of the gritty texture. The flavor was there for the ice cream. Just wasn't a fan of the texture. read more

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

This is apparently a local favorite...I think a lot of that is because it's within walking distance of a lot of the places to stay (which is why we visited). I was not as impressed... especially after standing in line FOREVER. The ice cream was ice cream. The best part of the whole experience is the waffle cones/bowls made in house. read more

Delicious ice cream!! The staff were very friendly. I had the salted peanut butter and the blackout chocolate cake, no regrets.

A small place with great smells and great ice cream. A lot of salted flavors, which were not my thing but found several flavors that still were terrific. Had the gooey cake flavor my wife had toasted almond brittle and we both loved it. Recommend this place. It's hard to walk by. read more

It was getting up to 11pm when me and my date were craving dessert. After a deep search, we found Jeni's and made our way down.

And we can't thank them enough for being open until midnight. read more

Cute, shop with the most amazing aromas experienced as soon as you open the door...yum!!! Fresh waffle cones baking...that sets the tone for your flavor choices. Ok, so dollar for dollar, I should have just gone with my gut...the 10 sampler sounded decadent and delicious. And I would have gotten to taste even more flavors!!! Settled on the wild berry lavender, middle east pecan and whiskey, and cognac with gingerbread. All were flavorful and different. Snagged some pumpkin, brown butter almond brittle, peppermint, dark chocolate....loved them all. read more

Visited with some friends while we were in Charleston and was pleasantly surprised to find that this ice cream shop has dairy-free/vegan options (and as someone who is allergic to eggs, sometimes looking for vegan is the only way for me to be sure I won't be ill afterwards). They also have some labeling on their ice creams that helps with allergens, and they do have some egg-free normal ice creams as well! When I mentioned to the scooper that I was allergic to eggs (because I was taking a bit of time reading the tags, LOL), they actually went to the back and got a freshly cleaned scoop and changed gloves for me, which was absolutely above and beyond service! It was such a thoughtful gesture when there are still lots of places that treat people with food allergies and dietary restrictions as a nuisance, so I really cannot rate the service highly enough :) A++! The ice cream was lovely as well! I got the Dark Chocolate and the Frosé flavors, and both were quite nice. I'm not sure if the Frosé actually takes like Rosé and Sangria or not (I also don't drink), but it was subtly fruity, floral, and not too sweet and I would definitely get it again if I find a Jeni's closer to where I live. The Dark Chocolate was deep, dark, and very much hit this chocoholic's sweet spot--had things worked out differently on the trip, I would have been back for a second helping! read more
