Texas sheet cake and sweet cream in a waffle cone
Jason N.

One of my favorite ice cream shops I frequently go to! Favorite flavors: brambleberry crisp (a classic you can never go wrong with), brown butter almond brittle, and texas sheet cake. Sweet and flavorful ice cream that always knocks my socks off. Stays open late on weekends with a nice patio outside to enjoy at this location. Street parking around the area is plentiful

It's always a pleasure stopping in at Jeni's when you're craving ice cream. Yes, it can get crowded at times, but fortunately for me, the line hasn't been longer than 5 minutes for me whenever I go. I've also been fortunate to find street parking nearby as well. The staff is friendly and they'll call you over to a certain section to expedite the line. You can sample however many flavors you want. I personally love the brambleberry crisp. I can't seem to change my favorite even after sampling all the others. Opt for the waffle cone if you love waffle cones. A little on the sweet side, but totally worth it. Seating inside is limited to a large rectangular table (possibly for 8 people?) and a few round tables that would probably seat 4-6 people each. Be prepared to walk out with your ice cream if it's busy. Many thanks to Jeni's for staying consistent. I'll see you again soon. :)

The ambiance of Jeni's is cool! This entire area is such a vibe! I seem to call it the " cozy vibes corner" you can walk the area while you eat your ice cream, sit outside in there bright colored cool chairs or inside where there is plenty of seating! You have plenty of choices of ice cream to pick from including vegan choices. I've had their vegan ice cream and it's still full of amazing flavors! I'm so glad they have the set hours for opening and closing it really gives you time to decide whether you want to have ice cream for lunch or a late night craving lol! I usually feel like it's a late night craving for me! The service is just ok! The workers sometimes they friendly depending on the day! I notice plenty of customers wanted to have access to the water pitcher but it was empty! The tables were never cleaned! I just personally clean mine with Clorox personal wipes. I'll definitely go back in the meantime! The parking is shared parking along the street! But definitely perfect location! My daughter said a good recommendation would be if there was a game station with cards or board games! Just a thought she stayed!

Who doesn't love an amazing ice cream place? Jeni's flavors are always top of the line and mix well together. There always seems to be a long line however the line moves quickly. The ambiance is clean/ice cream shop vibes. This is a monthly/weekly ice cream stop in our household.

You walk in, and the vibe is just clean. No sticky tables here! They also have ice creams in pints to go. It seems that they change flavors but also they have the OG flavors. There are three stations with three workers with same flavors. Limited flavors but still very much good. I've got their coffee ice cream and mint chocolate chip! I think it's hard to find a place with good mint chocolate chip. The flavor has to be on point and they did! Their waffle cone was good, thick that it didn't crumble as you ate it.

Jeni's ice cream has the ability to turn your day around no matter how crappy it was. All your problems are erased the minute you walk in and catch a whiff of the waffle cones being made. I have been here more times than I'd like to admit and if my addiction wasn't bad enough, I recently started ordering delivery. Prices aren't exactly cheap, but they use high quality ingredients which makes it worth it. Each time the employees are kind and willing to let you sample any flavor before you commit. There's a constant line, even late at night but they move quick. Ice cream scoops come with complimentary waffle gone pieces. You must try the 10 scoop sampler at least once in your life. It's an easy way to try multiple flavors and determine your favorite flavor. They always have a few seasonal flavors and also offer a rewards program, which keeps us ice cream addicts coming back!

L'Affagato with Toasted S'mores
Roxanna V.

Absolutely delicious. Service was quick, efficient and friendly. The flavors were really good. I tried about 3 and they were really good. I stuck with the toasted smores in L'Affagato and just wow! Obviously the ice cream melted quickly but it was a perfect blend of coffee and ice cream. They included a waffle chip that was really yummy! Definitely recommend. Will be coming back to try more flavors!

I came here for some nice refreshing ice cream after a walk on the Heights trail. Tried both the lemon blueberry and dark chocolate ice cream flavors, both of which I liked very much. The blueberry flavor was my favorite, it reminded me of a blueberry pie with added lemon flavor. The line can be long during the hot days of the summer, but I think it's worth it since they have so many unique and creative ice cream flavors to try!

I've been to Jenni's before, and personally am not the biggest fan because I think it's way to sweet, but we were craving sweets, lol. We got there on a Friday night and it was packed! We did not have to wait too long to get our ice cream. I got a cup with two scoops. Ordered the texas cake and boston cream pie. It's a little pricey for ice cream, but a nice little treat. I think it's the perfect amount of ice cream too!

Gooey Butter Cake
Macey M.

Ambiance: Charming Ice Cream chain shop located in the Historic Heights area off 19th street, Jeni's is the perfect spot to curb your ice cream cravings! I always love to order the gooey butter cake! They have rotating & seasonal flavors, all of which you can taste test before committing. Clean shop with seating inside & out. Highly recommend as a quick ice cream spot or social!

4-Half-Scoop Waffle Bowl: Brown Butter Almond Brittle, Sparkling Cherry Pie (at bottom), Coffee with Cream & Sugar, & Gooey Butter Cake.
Ari K.

I really like Jeni's ice cream. It's a chain, but it's a good chain! There are a couple of odd flavors, but more often than not, the unique flavors turn out to be delicious! The service was good, the vibe of the place was cute. I just wish the tables were a bit cleaner. I've been a few times since it's close by, though - the waffle cones are just superb. There's a little touch of saltiness to them that really makes the cone stand out. Today I shared a 4-half-scoop waffle bowl and got the Gooey Butter Cake, Coffee w/ Cream & Sugar, Brown Butter Almond Brittle, & Sparkling Cherry Pie (seasonal). Jeni's fruity ice creams are so good, and the pie bits in this flavor were so nice. Highly recommend the Brambleberry Crisp also.

Khalidah B.

Great ambience, nice staff, and my favorite vegan ice cream flavor! The Texas Sheet Cake is the best vegan chocolate ice cream I've had and it satisfies my chocolate cravings. I love the pieces of cake throughout. I wish there were more variety of vegan flavors but I'll always come back to this.

Ask the Community - Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams

When will they start samples again?

Last I went, they refrained from sampling simply as a precaution for COVID so there probably is no definitive answer, especially with this new oncoming surge.

Why do the pints cost $12 here versus under $10 at Whole Foods? It should be cheaper at an actual Jeni's retail location. I

Probably cause there are a few flavors they don't carry in store. I agree tho. I would not buy a pint here when you can go to central market. I prob won't go back to the store cause they have the best flavors for cheaper at CM

Do they carry non dairy ice cream?

Some nondairy ice cream delicious ones like dark chocolate truffle and a few other ones. Definitely worth trying.They are delicious.

Are any of the flavors vegan?

Yes they do. They have a few dairy free options as well as sorbets and they even use vegan sugar

That alone made the experience feel thoughtful and welcoming. They are also open late, which I loved. I had already dined in the area, so this ended up being the perfect post dinner treat. I have been here before, but it had been a long time, and it was great to return and enjoy it again. The ambience was warm and inviting, and the overall environment made it easy to relax and enjoy the moment. I ordered a kid's cup, and it was honestly the perfect amount. Anything larger would have been too much for me, so the price point felt very fair for the portion and quality. I also tried the macaron and the tea. Both were fine but nothing standout for me. I have had better macarons and better tea elsewhere, and as someone who really appreciates good tea, it was decent but not something I would go back for specifically. That said, the gelato alone is absolutely worth returning for and even making a drive for. The space itself is very small and cozy, more of a boutique style spot. It is ideal for individuals, couples, or very small groups. Larger groups may prefer to enjoy their treats outdoors around the plaza and then move along, as this is more of a grab and go or short stay kind of place. Overall, I would definitely be back. The gelato is truly the star here and well worth it.

Consequently, Yelpers should not be surprised the…read moreparking is mostly in paid lots, just like in every major city in the US--Cocos does not deserve to lose a star for this as in some reviews that brought down their average. You may order online, in shop through a tablet, or with a person at the register. We used the register because we did not see the tablet and did not want to order ahead online. The ladies who helped us on our visit were very nice. You get a number and they call it when your made to order food is ready. We did not have to wait long. There was medium to low noisy ambiance. It was deserted when we arrived, but they have relatively loud background music. While we were eating it got pretty crowded. Mostly a lot of young people in the middle of the day on a Monday. The inside is small, seating both inside and outside are limited and close together. One lady was studying with her laptop, but there are no plugs. The breakfast sandwich is customizable. We got it on a croissant and with sausage. The eggs had a unique texture and the sandwich a unique flavor that we could not place, but both were very tasty. We also wanted a crepe, but we split the sandwich and it was sufficient. We also got a small mocha and a decaf, both were ok to good. We would definitely come back again and recommend that you give them a try for a crepe or sandwich. It is sad that a few Yelpers brought down their average to 3.8 stars due to petty and unjustified complaints such as having to pay for parking downtown. Other complaints are not the business' fault such as periodic homelessness--it is a downtown area in the US, other cities have far worse homelessness than Midtown Houston and we saw none on this visit. Additionally, complaints about takeout orders are mostly petty. Takeout is never as good as eating at the restaurant and so customers should adjust their expectations rather than dock the business stars. Nearly every recent Yelp review for this who ate at the restaurant gave 4-5 stars for food quality and customer service. Like most of the restaurants in this area it is a pretentious yuppy style place with specialized food. Although not usually our type of place (we like down to earth hole in the wall places with good food or taco truck type restaurants), Coco's is a solid 4 star restaurant for the type of place they are and they offered a 5 star experience on our visit. Again, recommend you give them a try if you are in the mood for crepes or sandwiches.

To start, great location! Cute little Coffee/Breakfast Shop…read moreon Gray St. It wasn't busy so the service was pretty quick. Everything is made to order. This was my first time coming here so my girlfriend and I ordered a fee items to get the full experience. We both ordered a beverage, i ordered a Vanilla Chai and she had the Caramel Cococcino. Both were very good. As for food, we ordered a Chicken Breakfast Sandwich(pictured), Cinnamon Roll Crepe (Pictured), Dulce De Leche Crepe with Almonds and Strawberries (pictured), and a strawberry cheesecake crepe (not pictured but looked like a normal crepe with powdered sugar). My favorites were the strawberry cheesecake and the cinnamon roll. My girlfriend's favorite was the Dulce De Leche and the strawberry cheesecake. Neither one of us cared for the breakfast sandwich too much, not sure if it was the wheat bread or the flavorless chicken. A couple of days ago we came back to try a couple of white mocha's and the breakfast sandwich again but with the Moroccan Sausage. We have determined-the breakfast sandwich will not be ordered anymore. But again the drinks were good. Overall, we will be back. The staff is nice, the drinks are good and so are the Crepes.
