    Food ice cream delicious Service Ambiance inviting and colorful The unique flavors will keep you coming back to indulge in creations with each season. It's a refreshing place to get a cold treat with unique Lovely

    The flavors were amazingly delicious. I don't remember the name of the flavor but it was a mixture of sweet and savory. The staff was patient as our group tried all of the flavors. The location next to the nightlife spot gave a great vibe for fun and conversation.

    Free parking, quick service, vegan options, and delicious ice cream! What more can you ask for? I love their ice cream but I normally skip the cones because sometimes they can be stale. It's spacious and clean in the inside and there is something here for everyone!

    The ice cream was unique and delicious. I had the Vanilla Honey and the Double Dough in a waffle cone. It was great. We went with a group and enjoyed sitting outside at the tables. The guy behind the counter was very friendly and informative. Least favorite part was trying to understand the parking and the parking validation. I guess if you go to school there or live there it is easy, but we needed some help to figure out how to pay and get verified. But overall I highly recommend it

    Came here with my brother to get our birthday scoops! It was very smooth and hospitable to get our free scoops for our birthday. I loved the variety of flavors. The ambiance was very welcoming and friendly. If you haven't tried Jeni's ice cream, this is your sign to!

    Really thick and tasty cones. Lots of flavor options. Friendly staff. Samples offered. Cute and spacious interior with a patio space as well.

    The ice cream and waffle bowl is always incredible. Their flavors are unique and always delicious. I got the gooey butter cake, brambleberry crisp, and lastly the biscuits and peach jam. All were phenomenal but wish I had three scoops of gooey butter cake. Staff is incredibly welcoming and happy to offer as many samples as you like. Great experience but better ice cream!

    So many great flavors to try, friendly staff, love this place. Might be the best ice cream I've had ‍‍

    I had no idea of this place until yesterday. My brother and I went out on a late drive and found this place by chance. It wasn't that busy for a Saturday night. The ice cream was great, creamy and flavorful. I would definitely recommend. The place has lots of seating, they also have outside seating with a nice vibe.

    Brambleberry Crisp and biscuits with the boss

    Jeni's is genuinely my favorite ice cream shop and I was so excited to see it next to the restaurant I was dining in at. The shop is bright, clean and crisp. There are a few seats inside and picnic benches outside. Staff are friendly and will happily offer samples. The bramble berry crisp is one of my favorites. They just started a new flavor- biscuits with the boss- to celebrate the release of Ted Lasso season 3. It's a buttery tasting vanilla ice cream with short bread pieces. Worth trying :)

    Hi Jeni honey!

    Service was good & ice cream was good! Walked in on a quiet Saturday night, then ate right outside on the benches. I tried to go back in to use the restroom a little after 8pm, but the doors were locked and closing wasn't until 11pm. I loved that I could try all the flavors, but wouldn't be in a rush to come back I'm more of a vanilla type of gal (KISS).

    Salted Peanut Butter with Chocolate Flecks and Milkiest Chocolate

    I was so excited to try this place because I always see the Jeni's ice cream pints at the grocery store. I got the standard with two flavors - Salted Peanut Butter with Chocolate Flecks and Milkiest Chocolate. The ice cream was nothing special. Service was not great either. They had only two people working on a Saturday with a growing line. The employees had a good attitude, but it was not worth waiting for. I definitely think this place is over hyped.

    So fun and inviting looking on the inside and outside of Jeni's. Staff was super knowledgeable about flavors and offered samples. Store was very clean inside. I love Jeni's over other ice cream shops because of the unique flavor choices. Sure there are plenty low key flavors that would please someone who just likes vanilla or chocolate. But there's flavors like lavender that are just so well thought out and appealing.

    "Eastern-inspired ice cream and other sweets, next door to La Vaquita in Durham"…read more Stopped by this lovely shop at 7pm on a Saturday evening. The name a little hard to catch, but it's a small greenish building immediately beside La Vaquita on Chapel Hill Road (with the giant cow on the roof). The outdoor area is quite nice, with a fenced outdoor area having swings and other seating/ space for families. We were greeted quite warmly when we arrived. They had maybe ~15 flavors of ice cream or similar (will return to that in a second) as well as other sweets like baklava. But this is not your ordinary ice cream shop-- the flavors were unusual. Cucumber, date, and others caught my eye, but I didn't try those. Unlike one Yelp reviewer's comment, when we went, there was both a regular pistachio as well as a vegan pistachio option. I got something different-- I tried the falooda... a Persian inspired ice-cream-like dish with rose syrup and small cooked noodles. The texture is slightly like an italian ice, but the flavor was great. However, there's more-- on a table off to the side, there were separate lemon and cherry flavors that we were invited to try adding to the falooda. Let me tell you-- either addition turned a good dish into a heavenly dish! Sooooo good. Try it, but only if you're open to "this isn't just ice cream". There were also some wafer cookies to the side we were invited to have with our respective dishes. Seating inside was stools at benches facing a thin window bar-- outside is nicer if you have a big group and/ or if weather is nice, but it was fine. I did stop by the restroom briefly, and it was clean, too. Overall, definitely plan to come back to this eastern-inspired ice cream shop, and I encourage others to give it a try too!

    Delicious ice cream with unique flavors! The staff is attentive and helpful. The ambiance is so…read morecute! It's also really nice that there's a playground outside for families to enjoy, and it's fenced in so you feel protected from traffic. Love how convenient this is to my house!
