Customer service was very rude. Ive never been to Jeni's before so I tried like 3 flavors and the workers seemed rude making faces at me and rushing me. There wasn't a line either and I even let them know they could take other customers while I was deciding. Very disappointed with the way I was treated. Ice cream was delicious. read more

I visited August 2026 and walked by and saw a sign in the window Gluten Free Waffle Cones. I had to stop in and the Waffle Cones were delicious! The staff was very pleasant. Hope next visit they have dairy free ice cream as well. read more

Just as the name says, whoever Jeni is, she makes splendid ice cream. I have been to several locations and they have all been amazing. Creamy, smooth, rich, delicious! That's how I would describe my two scoops of Brambleberry Crisp and Salted Peanut Butter w/ Chocolate Flecks. Every time I see a Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream, I cannot help myself but step inside and get something yummy. Do yourself a favor and do the same. read more

Wow, talk about impressive! Easily the BEST ice cream of my life. It tastes so authentic, you'll think there's a farm somewhere in the back of the store! My husband and I shared the brownie batter ice cream. We both commented on how much we loved the waffle bowl it was in, instead of a waffle cone. We will definitely be back for more! :) 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

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams - Goat Cheese with Red Cherries Ice Cream & Honey Vanilla Bean - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Like others have mentioned - the best ice cream at a premium price point. Where else are you going to get quality ingredients with truly inspired flavors? Cherry, chocolate and balsamic (Opaque)? Goat cheese cherry? Peppermint patty? (All in photo) Yum!! And, even if it's only a curiosity lick and it turns out whatever flavor you happen to pick isn't your vibe - worth every calorie to find out. No one was at the shop when we went in so service was super quick and as always, friendly. read more

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams - Salted Peanut Butter with Chocolate Flecks Ice Cream Pint and double cookie dough - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

We were walking on a night out, walked past their doors, smelt the fresh waffle cones, and had to enter. The line was pretty long (which is always a good sign) but it moved pretty quick. There were many unique and yummy flavors. The kind employees allowed me to sample, but i settled with Confetti brownie batter: a dark chocolate custard with pieces of fudgy brownie and rainbow sprinkles... right up my alley. I had to get it in the waffle cone. It was so good, one of my favorite moments of the trip. There were plenty of places to sit inside the shop. Would definitely recommend stopping here after dinner for a visit! read more

Loved the waffle bowl. I had the goat cheese with cherries and the banana pudding. The folks that were working both visits were super nice and helpful picking out the many different flavors. A quaint little ice shop with places to sit outside. Nice place to grab some delicious ice cream. read more

Jeni's is my absolute favorite ice cream in Charleston! It's the one place where no matter who I bring there, they fall in love with it too! I love that I get to sample some of the flavors before I make a decision because it's hard to decide when they are all so good! There aren't a lot of places to sit but even when it's super busy we end up finding a table or a place to eat inside. read more

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

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

Got a half scoop of brown butter almond brittle and campfire s'more (seasonal flavor). Brown butter almond brittle was an explosion of sweetness, it was indulgently delicious, but so sweet and rich I'm not sure if I could eat more than a half scoop of this flavor at a time. Campfire s'more did not give s'more vibes to me. The main flavor was chocolate with some added texture of gram cracker bits throughout. I couldn't detect any marshmallow or graham cracker flavor. Flavor-wise, it basically tasted like a chocolate ice cream, which I found disappointing, rather than a true s'more flavor. It was still good, but didn't live up to its name. read more

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

The flavors of ice cream are so good, we never had a chance to take pictures! All flavors are great and servings are very generous. If you're going to have ice cream in Charleston, this is the spot! read more

Very good ice cream - great value can get a lot of variety. We loved each flavor we ordered my favorite was the cookie dough and strawberry buttermilk. The waffle cones are also so yummy. Place is big inside but has limited seating. Service was good they let you try many flavors so you can figure out what you want to order. Trash cans were overflowing and tables were not wiped down but probably because of limited staff and they were very busy. read more

I always come to this spot when I'm in Charleston because the ice cream is "Splendid"!! The servers are nice, but the only problem is that they don't ask if you want a waffle cone piece in your ice cream. I've had it dumped multiple times because they didn't hear me say I didn't want it. The seating is good for group settings. read more

Service was awesome. People were so nice and I didn't feel like a bother when trying flavors. They actually encouraged it. We have the book and I made a lot of the recipes at home. I am not a huge fan of the cream cheese base recipes. The flavors were unique just like the book, but the novelty wasn't there for me because of the book. To be honest, I'd rather have basic flavors done really well than unique / fancy flavors. That's just me. 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

not the friendliest service. If you're having a bad day you should probably go home. Dessert is supposed to be an enjoyable experience and just sloppy presentation. Ice cream melting all over this weird tray when asked for a waffle bowl. not very accommodating to fix it. 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

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 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
