Long line, opted for the dairy free option. Line organization could use some work inside. Overall, good flavors. Be prepared to wait at least 20-30 minutes during peak hours. read more

A little bit of a wait on Saturday night, but the line moved quickly & efficiently. Flavors at Jeni's are always solid and the smell of fresh baked waffle cones is just outstanding. Great ice cream, no complaints. read more

I love Jeni's. It always smells amazing in here. I'm not a huge ice cream fan, but if I'm gonna eat ice cream, I'll go to Jeni's. It's always fun to check out their new unique flavors. Don't be afraid to ask for samples to help you decide out of all the delicious flavors! I went with two flavors because I couldn't pick between the two: queen charlotte sponge cake and frosted sugar cookie. I love cake batter/flavored ice cream, ice cream with cake chunks, and fruit ice cream, so both flavors were perfect for me. The frosted sugar cookie tasted like cream cheese frosting and the queen charlotte tasted like very sweet raspberry and had cake chunks. So delicious. read more

Came in for my free birthday scoop and got to try the Ted Lasso collab flavor and the strawberry pretzel. Also tried the hibiscus chili crunch which tasted great but the spicy after taste really got me. Service was fast and efficient. read more

Tasted a whole bunch of flavors before landing on our combo of Darkest Chocolate (way more chocolatey than your average chocolate ice cream) and Mixed Berry Passion Fruit. Served up in a waffle cup, it was one of the most delicious ice cream treats I've had in a long time. Jeni's can often be a little on the sweet side for my tastes, but this combo hit the spot perfectly. And the service was friendly and patient. Great spot for some adventurous flavors and new twists on the old ones. read more

Jeni's is always a good place to grab quality ice cream. I will say that prices have gone up. I enjoy scoop or two but now eating out is starting to become a treat. On this occasion, I got the Darkest Chocolate and Ooey Buttercake in a bowl. The ice cream was good as usual. Marked this location down to 4 stars as the sitting area was not very clean and the staff were welcoming. The bathroom was clean!!! Maybe because only two people working, then didn't have time to wipe down the tapes. read more

A good sweet treat after dinner! Lots of unique flavors. Ice cream is not super sweet which I love. The little waffle cone crisp is also a nice touch. The workers are always super friendly, and it's always a quick line. A Chicago dessert staple! read more

I went here with my cousin last week after dinner. It was my 1st time trying Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream and I was amazed! I got 1 scoop of Gooey Butter Cake and 1 scoop of Pistachio. My cousin got 2 scoops of Chocolate. The staff were friendly and the ambiance was nice & spacey for us to enjoy our ice cream. read more

The best ice cream in Chicago. The Logan Square spot has a cozy feel that wasn't too crowded or too empty. I got a trio, but I HIGHLY recommend the coffee flavor. Regardless of what you get, everything here is a home run. Staff was friendly and patience with samples. Go with your friends or on a cute date! - AD read more

Tl;dr: tastes good, but overpriced for such teeny portions. $5.25 + tax for a single scoop in a cup is a bit much, particularly since it was the smallest scoop I've been served in an ice cream shop ever. You know how they usually do a couple scoop motions to make a ball? For me and my friends' orders, it was a single scoop motion, creating kind of a roll instead of full ball. And then we didn't get the waffle cone slice that normally comes with it. We all liked the flavors we got, I enjoyed the salty caramel. The shop has a few tables, but we ended up not wanting to sit because they were all quite dirty and we didn't see napkins to try and wipe them ourselves. read more

The flavor selection at Jeni's is simply unmatched. I will miss the lavender ice cream they apparently discontinued, but truly such a great treat here. Our service here was great as she let me flavor a few things and they were all great. This place never misses! read more

You know an ice cream spot is good when the line is out the door! Every time we go to Jeni's we can smell the fresh waffle cones when we open the door. It's definitely worth the wait, the ice cream is one of the most premium ice creams you can get. And even when you get the ice cream in a cup they give a little chip of the waffle cone. There are a small amount of seats inside so if you're lucky you can get a table. I came by to try their fly by jing spicy chili crisp limited time promotion. I got the double chocolate, salty caramel, and vanilla as a base. Surprisingly the chocolate was my favorite. The chili crisp has such a strong flavor that went well with the deep bitterness of the chocolate. The vanilla was a bit too plain of a flavor and did not balance as well with the chili crisp. Note that you can also ask for the chili crisp on the side! They seem to give more that way. It's a very strong flavor though so you don't need much. They also serve pints of ice cream to go. The workers are pretty friendly and can help you decide which flavors to get if you need help choosing. read more

Would be 5 stars but they ran out of the Opaque ice cream before I got to try it and it ruined my entire week. Not their fault though I guess but I'm just sad about it and feel the need to demote them to four stars because of how this affected me read more

Yum! I love Jeni's ice cream and it's a must stop for me when I'm in Chicago. I l love that you can try samples before you select what flavor you want, the standard size comes with 2 flavors and you get a fresh waffle piece on every ice cream so no need to upgrade to the waffle bowl! The seasonal flavors are always great and my favorite are the brambleberry crisp and the darkest chocolate! It's the ultimate treat on a hot day! read more

This is always a great spot to stop by for ice cream! There are so many unique flavors and the service and atmosphere are always great! I sometimes don't crave too heavy of flavors here (which they are great at making if you are looking to indulge!) but they always have a few lighter flavors that I can enjoy. There are also gluten- and dairy-free options for those interested! They have a ton of take-home pints as well. read more

With the heat and the huge number of people at Wicker Park Fest this Saturday, I decided to slip into Jeni's to cool off with some delicious ice cream. Food: I got a fantastic combination of what they called "Saturday in the Park", a combo of Wildberry Lavender, Lemon Bar, and Brambleberry Crisp ice creams. The price point was good and they also had Boylan's Black Cherry soda, a staple of my childhood, so I indulged myself. It was the perfect combination of refreshing, yet savory. Service: the workers were super busy, but took care of each person who came through very carefully. I was impressed with how packed it was that they were focused on a person at a time making sure each customer was happy. Aesthetic: adorable place with a nice flow to it. read more

Classic midwest ice cream shop that reminds me of Salt & Straw back on the west coast! Really delicious ice cream you can't go wrong with rotational flavors. Tried their strawberry buttermilk and dark chocolate. The strawberry buttermilk was sooo creamy and smooth, although I wish there was a stronger strawberry flavor. Dark chocolate was very rich and great for chocolate lovers. Like that they give you a few waffle chips even if you don't get a cone, still get the best of both worlds. read more

So yum! Liv helped us, she was the sweetest and most patience employee ever. My family is super indecisive and she waited kindly while making a decision on what to get!! Couldn't be happier! read more

jeni's was my favorite ice cream chain when i lived in atlanta, and i was so excited to have it in chicago 2 years later! this location has a decent amount of indoor seating. we also were able to sample a lot of flavors -- the main downside of jeni's is that it's expensive but at least you can have 2 flavors for a single scoop. bowls come with a waffle cone piece. flavors i got: wildberry lavender: used to always get this flavor. it's more of a berry flavor with a hint of orange and light lavender -- tasted a bit more like sherbet than what i remembered. double dough: got this as a half scoop too. it has cookie dough pieces and a carmelized/burnt butter flavor ice cream. flavors i sampled: gooey butter cake: used to get this a lot, but it's definitely one of the sweetest ice creams they have. texas sheet cake (dairy free): dark rich chocolate with cake pieces, but you do taste the coconut base aftertaste. read more

It's been a while since I've been to Wicker Park's Jeni's Ice Cream. Parking is still difficult as before but there are metered parking if you can snatch a spot. The entire street is very walkable. Lots of things to see. I tried three before settling on Salted Licorice and Bombastix. The Brown Butter Almond Brittle is very buttery in flavor, it's really good with the small bite but I feel like a bigger scoop can get a bit too much for me, so I went went the other two. Salted Licorice isn't as strong flavored as I thought it would with licorice, because of the small bits, when you bite into it you can taste it but it's not overwhelming or repulsive in any way. I liked that it was sprinkled strong taste rather than the entire ice cream tasting like licorice. 5/5. Bombastix was more flavorful than salted licorice but not as strong as brown butter. I liked the crunch in it. You can't go wrong with this-- fudge, and waffle cone chunks. The cup with 2 scoop comes with a piece of waffle piece. My husband got Lemon Bar and Frosé Sorbet. Both are really good, compared to all the other non-dairy options he's had. The Lemon Bar had actual lemon chunks in it, adding the texture and pocket of lemon flavor without being overpowering or bitter in any way. Exceeded our expectation for just being a lemon bar. The Frosé was also surprisingly good-- it's got a slightly alcoholic punch and is very smooth for a sorbet. Definitely pricy for the size but not out of the norm for specialty crafted unique flavored scoops. Would definitely come back to try other flavors! read more

Such a fun ice cream shop! This was my first time ever at a Jeni's location, although I've had some of their ice cream pints from the store. Ice cream definitely did not disappoint! They have a lot of fun flavors that rotate through and they tend to have a handful of vegan and dairy free options which is nice. You can also sample flavors if you're indecisive or feel like trying something new. I got the Texas sheet cake flavor (non-dairy) and it was really good! The line was long when we got there, but it moves fast. The workers definitely have a good system to keep the line moving efficiently and ambience not too chaotic. I was actually really impressed and they maintained great customer service. Would definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area! read more

Amazing ice cream. Waffle cones were flakey and buttery. Service was great! I really appreciated the recommendations - the bramble berry one was fantastic. Only downside is it was a bit pricy for the amount of ice cream you got, but it's worth trying for sure. read more

If you haven't been to Jeni's, you must try it! I will admit I am not the biggest dessert girl or ice cream girl but I absolutely love Jeni's. I go to the Wicker Park location often and the staff is always extremely kind and welcoming. In addition, the ice cream just simply cannot be beat. I like to try out different flavors when I go typically but I have recently tried the Cosmic Bloom and I am OBSESSED! It is the best "sherbet - type" ice cream I've ever had. It tastes just like mandarin oranges and is extremely refreshing. That being said, I highly recommend the Cosmic Bloom but you truly cannot go wrong with any flavor at Jeni's. Thank you, Wicker Park Jeni's, for a wonderful experience always! read more

ICE CREAM = SCRUMPTIOUS. Came here 2x within 72hrs and still think about it daily. Ordered the snow cone, brambleberry Crisp, & double dough ice cream and all were delicious. They have a good array of GF/dairy free options to fit a majority of dietary needs. They provide samples if you want to try any flavors and employees are super kind. They're pretty efficient at getting through the long lines and providing applicable recommendations. Can be a little busy but again the like moves super fast. Seating is limited indoors but sweet treat w/ hot girl walk is pretty epic too. TLDR// great decor & SNOW CONE IS 100000/10. limited time flavor so go fast. read more

Another great ice cream spot in the area. Some of our favorites are the wildberry lavender and dark chocolate. They complement each other so well. The butter cake is also a great flavor. Love that they have rotating flavors with their set menu. Always worth stepping in and getting something if you're near one! read more

I personally don't like most of Jeni's regular flavors but I really loved their limited edition genmaicha, white peppermint chip, and the green mint chip. I also appreciate that they give out free scoops on your birthday. My friend loves this place so much that when he's in town it's one of the stops he has to make. read more

Aug 4 Friday: popular ice cream spot that we had to try for dessert. Long lines out the door although service was quick. I got a scoop of bramble berry crisp and brown butter almond brittle and my husband got bombastic sundae cone and salty caramel. We both enjoyed it on a hot night. This place reminded me of Salt and Straw from Vegas but not so weird flavors. Delish. Happy licking!!! read more

Our favorite was the golden nectar!! It's their caramel flavor and it sounds basic, but tasted so much like milk tea which was such a good surprise. We would love to get some again soon. The butterscotch popcorn was really sweet for our personal sweet tooth, but tasted so much like actual popcorn LOL which is pretty cool. The coconut cold brew was just okay since being switched around tasting the other two become more on the bitter end. It was also dairy free so more icy than creamy in texture. read more

Jeni's never lets me down. I love their ice cream and great service so much! When I saw that they came out with holiday flavors, I knew I had to give them a try White chocolate peppermint: White chocolate ice cream with a cool peppermint finish. Not as sweet as I had imagined. 9/10 Pistachio macaron: Usually not a big fan of pistachio but this was so good! The consistency could not be better. 10/10 The two flavors work perfectly together. I definitely recommend it! read more

Always a pleasure when it comes to Jeni's Ice Cream! The waffle bowl is my go-to, paired with whatever flavors I'm feeling that day. I loved their Brambleberry Crisp--oven-toasted oat streusel and sweet-tart brambleberry jam layered throughout creamy vanilla ice cream. Definitely worth a stop! The staff is friendly, the seating is nice, and the ice cream never disappoints. Love it! read more

The Wildberry Lavender was fabulous! The lavender was not overpowering which is great because it didn't taste like soap! The bramble crisp was very jammy and rainbow was tart :) Parking sucks!

This place is amazing. Right you walk in you immediately smell the freshly made buttermilk waffle cones... I seriously don't know why more ice cream shops don't do this! It's quite a gamechanger. The waffle cones are hard, but not brittle. They soak up the flavor of the ice cream without being mushy... i have no idea how this works, but it's the best waffle cone I've ever had! On top of the great cones... the ice cream is amazing. The lavender berry ice cream has created a craving that won't go away; and unfortunately I live 7 hours away from this place. #unfortunate read more

The moment you walk in, you're hit with mouth-watering inducing aroma. To my surprise, it was a young lady making homemade waffle & sugar cones! In that moment, I knew Jeni's was about to change my life! They have an array for unique and traditional ice cream flavors. I'm trying to watch my figure (lol), so I went with their Frose Sorbet! Goodness gracious, they need to sell this by the pint! It was so flavorful and fresh... if you love fruit and want to indulge in something sweet without the guild, this one is for you! The service was absolutely wonderful! And even with the long line, we were in and out in less than 5mins. Certainly worth the stop for an afternoon treat! read more
