I had the wildberry lavender and strawberry buttermilk - both were good but the lavender was special. It had a nice balance of flavors, which is hard to get with lavender! It's a little pricey, but it's good ice cream, and we all need a little sweet treat sometimes, right? Jeni's does allow samples, which is awesome because they have so many flavors to choose from! I sampled the gooey butter cake, which was amazing - tastes just like gooey butter cake, but isn't greasy. Lastly, if you visit this location, there are so many cute shops and indie bookstores in the area to check out!
My favorite ice cream shop. Tried their new opaque ice cream and it was very tasty. I love their seasonal flavors.
I let my boyfriend make the choice for us since we were sharing and he wanted to try the new parfait. It was $9 for two scoops, strawberry puree, and whip cream. It was yummy per usual! This was my first time at this location and it's a good size with decent seating. They didn't have many flavor options but I was told June 5th is when the new flavors arrive.
This was a wonderful, easy event. Walked in. Immediate greetings. They offered unlimited samples (encouraged it!) and were so friendly. The ice cream speaks for itself. The flavors are so unique and wide in range. I got: the bramble berry, darkest chocolate and cookie dough. The ice cream is so creamy and rich in flavor. The scoops are generous!
Always a good time visiting a Jeni's location in the summer. This location is spacious, has a lot of room to sit, and if you don't like people near you when you sit, the seats are spaced out well! (Didn't take a picture, there were a lot of people). The lighting is always warm and inviting and the smell of the ice cream hits you as soon as you walk in. Service is great as per usual at most Jeni's and the line went by fairly quickly. We got a two mini scoop order of coffee / salted peanut butter. Always a good choice on a hot day especially on a waffle cone! Instead of affogato, I just bought cold brew on its own. Standalone, the cold brew is ok. Definitely better with ice cream but the caffeine content is not bad either. Cold brew recommended in affogato only. Side note - bathrooms in the back are clean and there's a patio in the back as well that's right next to Alley Cat Comics - two birds one stone on that idea if you have someone that's a fan of comics/manga/cards/pop culture things! Anyway, great visit!
You can find Jeni's ice cream all over Chicago. Its rich, creamy vegan ice cream will have you asking yourself.... How is this possible??? Ice Cream: This is a dream come true! I can finally enjoy ice cream without the dairy! I'm in heaven! This being my first time enjoying vegan ice cream I tried every flavor before ordering the wild berry lavender and lemon bar. The texture of the ice cream is spot-on! It's creamy, rich, and not overly sweet or tart. Service: The ice cream here is a little pricey. But it was worth it. My friend and I ordered 2 scoops of ice cream and hers came out twice the size of mine. I pointed out the difference in serving size, and the cashier happily re-made my order. Ambiance: When you walk in you have a feeling of nostalgia. Crisp white walls and pops of color. Made me feel like a kid in a candy store. Overall: Family-friendly Vegan Ice Cream Cheerful environment Friendly service It's expensive ice cream Small serving size Addictive
Had a wonderful experience at Ice Cream for Breakfast! The Andersonville scoop shoppe did an excellent job of organizing the lines, handing out menus and letting us sample the new flavors. I had Breakfast Blend that consisted of Banana French Toast, Coffee with Cream & Sugar and Caramel Pecan Sticky Buns. This was a great combo and all the flavors mixed perfectly. The store itself is simple and fun. Some options for buying pints and other merchandise is nice. Will be back more!
I'll always find a Jeni's! My parents are visiting and staying in Andersonville. After dinner, we were exploring the neighborhood when I smelled the waffle cones are knew a Jeni's was close -- the scent will always get me! This location is your standard Jeni's - bright, clean, welcoming, with a happy staff there to greet you. There was no line, so we were able to take our time and try a couple different flavors. I went with two of my favorites, brambleberry crisp and brown butter almond brittle in a waffle cone. Tried, true, and so delicious! Jeni's is pricey, but the quality, unique flavors, and yummy waffle cones are absolutely worth it.
It was a beautiful night for some ice cream.. We came here at grabbing dinner at Parsons and enjoying the local park close by. We were lucky enough that there were only a coupler people in front of us. About a minute in, there line was out the door. The flavor of the week was the high five candy bar. We ordered our normal darkest chocolate ice cream. We did have an awesome experience where we told the server that out daughter has tree allergies. Normally, they usually just replace the scooter used as their ice cream doesn't have tree nuts. Not only did they replace the scooper they used but they actually opened a fresh new tub off ice cream for her. Unbelievable service is one of infinite reasons we continue to come back to Jeni's
Yesterday, we went for a short walk around our neighborhood, and my wife took me for ice cream. This location was empty, so we had the leisure of taking our time to choose the flavor we wanted. We each had two scoops. My wife had hers on a cone and chose the cup. The young lady was very nice and gave me a cracker because I asked for peanuts, but due to allergy, they don't serve ice cream with any nuts. I had the boozy egg nog and chocolate scoops. Which was delicious, and my wife loved hers, too. The only problem was the scoop sizes and the very high prices. I just don't understand how a family with kids can afford these prices. I don't think they will last in this neighborhood.
I liked this location because there was ample seating indoors, and there's additional seating in the patio area. There's multiple restrooms as well, but the first two are kinda small. I only wish they'd told me that they offer kid sized scoops (even though the person saw I was ordering for two children), so I didn't end up paying $8 for each child!
The place is large and bright. There were a lot of flavors to choose from. One lady was helping a couple ahead of us. Someone else came out and started helping the couple behind us. Not sure why we (me, husband, and child) got skipped. I don't like being ignored. I didn't think the ice cream was so great, especially for $7.15 a scoop! Even my 6 yr old threw put half of his. We went to their outdoor patio in the back. Unfortunately, the tables were dirty and both long ones were wobbling. We were the only ones out there, so at least we had our own private space.

The staff were very kind - really appreciate how they allow sampling. I didn't love what I sampled so I thought peanut butter ice cream with chocolate flecks and milkiest chocolate were dependable choices. The milkiest chocolate was nice, nothing very memorable, but the peanut butter was approaching sickly sweet. I liked that I didn't have to get an enormous size to get two flavors, but the price was too high for how much I did get. I think it came to $9 after tax. read more
What's not to love with Jeni's ice cream- it's rich and highly flavored. I enjoyed the 2 scoop portion, 1 each of the super dark chocolate and "double dough". It was almost too rich (but I powered through). Very tasty and an excellent dessert after enjoying any nearby restaurant. It was very busy when we went, probably because it was a Saturday night and raining. Every single seat was taken. They can definitely fit more seating in there, it's pretty spacious but only a few tables and chairs. So we had to dash back to the car in the rain with our ice cream cups without coverings. I didn't really think about it until realizing indeed there was no seating- would have been nice if staff offered some kind of top for the bowl if that's something they have. Staff was quite busy and didn't speak more than the necessary words to take our order and payment. But hey I was there for ice cream, not to make a new best friend. read more

Slow your roll, Yelp. *Laughs* I'll go ahead and churn out a review. My cousin, my niece, and I swung by here after dinner at the little Asian enclave on Argyle two weeks ago. As to why we were here differed, though: my cousin needed caffeine since she had to pick up a friend from O'Hare later that night, my niece apparently wanted to satisfy her sweet tooth, and I didn't want to go home yet and I sought out a pop fix of some sort. I must say that Jeni's is a pretty happening spot in what can be described as the quaint yet happening Andersonville neighborhood. The weather was a bit on the chilly side, but that didn't stop the slew of customers gathered here alongside us. I bet it's beyond packed when the temperature outside pushes 80, which is nothing by Texan standards. Anyway, I was stuffed from dinner and wasn't in the mood for dessert (weird, I know) so I helped myself to a bottle of Boylan Root Beer. I really dug it. Soda tastes great when it's ice cold and in a glass bottle. And the place recycles. The staff here is pretty friendly. My drink set me back close to $3 so I tipped a huge sum to show my appreciation. read more

I stopped by this new location for a 3 scoop signature ice cream and was very impressed with the richness and flavor of the ice creams. I think the key to enjoying Jeni's ice cream is to figure out what flavors you like best, which is why I highly recommend doing a taste test of a few flavors prior to making your selection. I ended up going with the darkest chocolate, rainbow sherbet, and the coffee and cream. I particularly enjoyed the first two flavors and would definitely order those again. I got my signature scoops of ice cream in a delicious waffle bowl and I felt that that helped to elevate the flavors of the ice cream even more. read more
I am so very happy that Jeni's moved into the neighborhood! I was really sad to see Georgie's go but having Jeni's step in to replace it was wonderful. I love that this location feels so open and airy. There is a fair amount of sitting inside but the ice cream shop is definitely made with the idea that people will pick up their ice cream and go. Like most locations they have their location displays split into two (meaning they offer the same ice cream choose at both sides) so it helps to move the line quicker. When I visited the person working that evening was very friendly. She showed as much excitement as my group did with them finally being open. She made me want to come back even during the Wintertime! The great thing about Jeni's is that they are generous with their scoops. Even if I get a single scoop I know that will be enough and typically two scoops is too much. I split a single scoop with my husband and we both felt like we were satisfied with the amount we both had. The ice cream is of course so rich and feels like they use the best ingredients. I like that Jeni's has a new flavor every so often but they always keep their most popular flavors available. My go to flavors are the brown butter almond brittle and the blackout chocolate cake! You also can't go wrong with the milkiest and darkest chocolate. Those two flavors are good to mix with a flavor that has candy in it or the honey vanilla bean to balance out the taste. read more
I love Jeni's! The smell of the fresh waffle cones is intoxicating, and always draws me in! My favorite all around flavor is the Peanut Butter and chocolate, BUT in the summer if they still do their Orange Dream you have to try! Everyone is so friendly and nice, I love this new location in Andersonville. read more

Butterscotch popcorn ice cream! And my other favorite was the berry cobbler one they had - OMG so flavorful and amazing. I'd imagine every flavor is good - I love the freshly made waffle bowls - it smells so good as soon as you walk in. Though the line is always long, it definitely goes fast. A must-stop in Chicago. read more
Jeni's has some of the most unique ice cream and I don't think I've met a Jeni's flavor I don't like. I mean, you really can't go wrong. Ice cream? Delicious. Customer service? PATIENT and informative! Vibes? Immaculate. Pricier than your run of the mill ice cream joint, but worth every penny. read more
Great location and plenty of parking. Love all the flavors of ice cream and the staff are so nice. I brought a friend who's never had Jenis before and she loved it...always a fun atmosphere and you feel happier being in the store read more

I'm in love with the Buttercream Birthday cake flavor, the fact that it has cake pieces in it along with sprinkles makes it even more special. It reminds me of the Birthday Cake flavor from Cold Stone Creamery... it's read more
Love this neighborhood, very walkable and there's lots of restaurants and shops near by so you can definitely hit up Jeni's after dinner or obvs randomly after shopping. Delicious ice cream! I love their coffee with milk and sugar, their dark chocolate (sweet without being bitter), and their peanut butter with chocolate chips. I also love getting their birthday cake with sprinkles by the pint! A plus for this ice cream was that the ingredients are surprisingly clean, by that, I mean grass fed cows milk, turmeric, and no use of red dyes! Plenty of dairy free options as well! This by no means makes this ice cream "healthy tasting" aka not the same as regular ice cream. This ice cream is delicious and unique! Definitely a favorite spot! read more
Located in Andersonville, this Clark Street shop is beautifully decorated with triangular and colorful banners, a dining area, and an ice cream serving area. With an unusual selection of tasty ice cream flavors, there's hard working staff always ready to give guests samples. After the selection, there's waffle, cone, or cup options. read more
Today marked my first experience at Jeni's and wow I was impressed! First of all, the interior is adorable. Super clean, wide space, with amazing pops or colors. Artwork was impeccable! Next up service, immediately greeted and given ice cream sampler. Super nice bunch. Moving on to ice cream--Delicious! The flavors were extremely tasty but not too overwhelmingly sweet. We got the three scoop sampler of wild berry lavender, brambleberry (our favorite), and gooey butter cake. There were so many other flavors we wanted to try and saw images of seasonal ones, will definitely be coming back for our next sweet tooth craving. read more
Yum! I stopped by here late in the day on a Monday. There was no line at all. I got a scoop of the brambleberry crisp, salted peanut butter with chocolate flecks, and salted caramel in a waffle cone. I will come back to this place and try other flavors. read more
This new Jeni's location is in the perfect spot in the heart of Andersonville! Today was National Ice Cream for Breakfast Day! The staff was incredibly cheerful and helpful. The shop itself was clean and brightly lit. We had a great time going out in pajamas and having ice cream for breakfast :) read more
Jenis never disappoints! The flavors are like no other, the quality is creamy and delicious, hate when ice cream taste like more ice than cream lol this shop is super friendly, clean, and big! New fav combo of ice cream is the darkest chocolate and salted peanut butter, it taste like a Reese peanut butter cup!! read more
