I can always count on Jeni's for innovative flavors and friendly service in a scoop shop decked out for the modern day! I'm a fairly frequent visitor to this location on Westheimer, given its proximity to both my home and many other restaurants/bars. The 3 scoop signature is my go-to order, and I typically mix 1-2 of my familiar favorites (shout-out to the gooey butter cake) with a seasonal or limited-time offering (the chocolate blackout cake was particularly delicious on my most recent visit - do you see a pattern?) Do feel empowered to enjoy all the samples you can handle before finalizing your choices, the scoopers will serve you with a smile (as long as the line isn't super long). Once you've paid at the counter, either enjoy the crisp A/C or take your ice cream to the side patio; I personally prefer the sleek, cleanly kept indoors to the sounds of Montrose's eternal traffic, but you do you. Parking in the dedicated lot can be tight during peak hours (and keep an eye out for the no parking signs closer to the back of the lot), but in a pinch you can street park around the corner or even on Westheimer directly. Hope to see you at Jeni's soon! read more

Don't get me wrong, the ice cream itself is absolutely delicious! We got the tiramisu, which was one of the monthly flavors, and the flavor definitely delivered. That said, the serving size was surprisingly small for how expensive it was. It also came in a plain white bowl with no real branding or presentation, which made it feel a bit underwhelming for the price point. I do appreciate the wide variety of flavors they offer, and the inside of the shop was cute, with lots of Jeni's merch. There's also a nice patio area with a swing, which adds to the overall vibe. The employees were very friendly and let us take our time sampling different flavors, which I appreciated. Parking is a bit limited, with only a few spots in the back. Overall, if you don't mind paying around $7.98 for a small scoop, it could be worth it. But personally, there are other ice cream spots nearby that offer larger portions that taste just as good. read more

This text exists solely to satisfy a character requirement. Ice cream was good, as ice cream tends to be. Area had its own thing going.

This is the 2nd Jeni's location I've tried and it was just as good as the first. There's a small parking lot attached to the shop so if there are no spots available you'll have to try and find some street parking near by. The employees were friendly and had no problem letting patrons sample ass many flavors as they needed. I decided to go with 2 half scoops of each of the limited time offers which was a dark chocolate cake and wedding cake. Both flavors were delicious. I love when ice creams have bits of cake throughout. The wedding cake also had a berry swirl that was very fresh tasting. It's a family friendly atmosphere with plenty of families with young children coming in and out. A great option for a little day or night out with family or friends. read more

Cute location with plenty of seating. They also have a mini outdoor space.

Personal preference, but I wished they had more tart and/or diverse flavors. read more

SO GOOD!! I'm obsessed with ice cream and this place didn't disappoint!! The flavors were super unique and very delicious. Loved all the branding and the overall decor of the place too. Super bright cute colors and a welcoming atmosphere. I got the birthday cake and gooey butter cake. Sooooo good and not TOO sweet. Like I didn't feel like I needed a glass of water to wash it down after. The waffle bowl or cone is a MUST. I love how it's slightly salty and very thin but doenst get soggy quick! Overall if you have one in your area it's a must try! And get some pints to go! read more

What is a great way to end the night??...desserts. As many would say, "save the best for last!!" That can be true in some instances. Lol, but golly this place is so cute. The other best thing about Jeni's is that it opens past midnight right in the center of Montross area. They have some serious good, rich, creamy and decadent ice cream! I chose 2 of the seasonal flavors and it was delish. Come check them out if you have a sweet or savory palate! Chow Chow Time!! read more

Idk what it is about that Gooey Butter Cake ice cream, but gosh darn it I'm addicted. Jeni..you have some explaining to do!!! No, but seriously..I'm hooked. Of course I've tried other flavors, but I always come back to this one. When you go there, if you can't decide what flavor you'd like to get, they don't mind letting you try samples. At least it doesn't seem like they do. The employees are nice and all, but don't over do it! The shop is decorated nicely, with plenty of places to sit and enjoy your ice cream. They even have these chair swings outside if you'd rather sit out there. Next time you're walking the strip on Montrose, make this spot a stop on your list. Just trust me on this one! read more

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams - Darkest Chocolate and Cookie Dough - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Houston, Texas

This ice cream shop has become a common gathering spot for my friends and I whenever we're nearby. I personally prefer this location over the one in Memorial because it gives off less corporate and more home-like vibes. I certainly see the appeal in the wacky flavors you can choose from, but I'm more of a conventional-flavor dude so I've only tried the gooey butter cake + salted PB scoops. They're both a huge step up from anything vanilla but I don't feel blown away like many other reviewers do. Great ice cream overall, but I don't know how I feel about paying $7 for two half scoops. Regardless, I think people without a strong sweet tooth will still have a decent experience here. It's a pleasant place to chat with your friends if nothing else. read more

It was my first time at Jeni's and I really enjoyed the experience! We stopped in one evening after dinner and were greeted right away. I tried a few different flavors but ended up with two scoops, one being salted peanut butter with chocolate flecks and gooey butter cake. My friend had two scoops of lemon crinkle which is one of the splendid holiday collection flavors. Overall, the ice cream was splendid! Pun intended there. I'll be returning soon. The ambiance is that of an ice cream shop and the customer service was great. read more

I always forget how good Jeni's ice cream is, and each time I come back I'm always amazed of how good and unique their flavors are! My friend and I came here for a sweet treat, and Jeni's ice cream will never disappoint that craving. When you walk in, you're instantly met with a smell of fresh waffle cones that is so inviting and sweet. When ordering, the workers are very friendly and will always offer you to try samples of any flavors you want. They are so patient and never make you feel rushed to order. There's a large selection of flavors to choose from with all of them being unique and interesting. They also have their fall and holiday flavors in, and each of them sound delicious. My friend and I ordered the rainbow sherbet, bramble berry crisp, and coffee. My favorite was the sherbet, and it was perfectly fruity, sweet, and tangy and a great palette cleanser to the other rich flavors. We ate our ice creams at the outdoor seating to enjoy the weather, and there a lot of seats and lighting! The only downside of this location is the parking, as it is very limited and sometimes difficult to find when it can get pretty busy in the night. But overall, this place never disappoints! read more

Another great experiencr at Jeni's! We opted for the brambleberry crisp, rainbow, and coffee and the flavors were fantastic! They are also currently doing limited fall flavors that seemed very interesting but I like to stick to the tried and true. Service is wonderful with no pressure to rush and plenty of time for sampling which I love because I am very picky with my ice cream. The ice cream here is definitely a bit pricey than local shops near by ($17 for 2 standard cups) but a nice treat out every once in a while! Parking is always a pain here so be prepared to wait or have to opt for parking elsewhere! Usually we sit inside but because of the cooler weather, we sat in the outdoor tables which was refreshing to enjoy! read more

I've hear so many things about Jenis ice cream but truthfully, I thought it was mid. I got two scoops and I thought it was pretty pricey for what it was. I paid about $9 for it and I was pretty underwhelmed. The spot is cute. There's a lot of seating outside. Parking can be annoying depending on what day of the week you go on. read more

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams - Gooey Butter Cake and rainbow buttermilk - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Houston, Texas

As someone always guilty of a sweet tooth after a meal, I love Jeni's. Their flavors are unique, even the signature ones. My favorites so far are the lavender and buttercake, but this time around I opted for the brambleberry crisp and almond (?) praline (sorry if this is inaccurate). While they do have a small selection of sorbets, non-dairy, and less sugar-y flavors to choose from, the majority of the flavors here tend to revolve around spins on the classic sweeter flavors like your chocolates, cookie doughs, birthday cakes, etc. This location gives off a more homey vibe compared to the City Center one, service is good at both. I will say the parking lot is very limited which is typical of this area. read more

Tried Jeni's for a late night snack via Uber Eats. The service was okay, it seemed it took quite a a while, for the store being about 3 miles away. My ice cream arrived melting and was dripping all over the place. I do t know if this was due to Uber or the ice cream not being frozen hard. I'd suggest paying for priority delivery and ask that the U er driver has an insulated carrier to avoid the mess. My ice cream was $14!!! Despite this, the ice cream was absolutely delicious!!! I tried the Gooey Butter Cake. I was in heaven! It's the best of both worlds for me. Cake, cheesecake, and Ice Cream. Note...there are three servings in this itty-bitty container, at 1030 calories for the container. Sadly...I ate the container.‍‍ Overall, I'd suggest this is a place to go to, and enjoy. For the business...insulated bags may be helpful. read more

I'm a huge fan of Jeni's...I've visited quite a few locations and always enjoy trying the new flavors they have. This location was new and has a mini parking lot to the side which was nice considering the area. If you've never been, you typically can't go wrong with any of the flavors. I particularly enjoy brambelbery crisp, gooey butter cake, brown butter almond brittle, and many more. This time i tried a sorbet which was prettygood and my 6 year old loved it. read more

I tried Jeni's for the first time! They have a lot of interesting combinations and their ice cream is very rich and sweet. One regular sized scoop of the Gooey Butter Cake pint is able to kill my sweet tooth monster. I like the combination of the butter cake and butterscotch. However, an occasional bite of the cake had a chalky texture. My husband tried the birthday cake pint. It's also very sweet and has a lot of sprinkles. read more

Came in on a wed at 2 pm, surprisingly busy. Food: 4/5, tons of flavor options, we got the Texas sheet cake, cherry pie and sweet cream biscuits and peach. Loved the sheet cake and cherry pie, the peach wasn't as good for me but not bad by any means. Ice cream quality is about the same compared to many of the other good ice cream places Service: 5/5, friendly, happy to let us try samples and work with us on an questions Ambiance: 4/5 cute little place with good decor and a lot of character. Outside looks more like a house than an ice cream shop. Seems like a decent option for a post date dessert. Parking: parking lot on the side of the building with decent amount of space, I imagine could have difficulty if the place is busier read more

Super cute ice cream spot, with lots of flavors and ample places to sit and enjoy your cone. For me personally, the flavors fell just a tiny bit short. I tried a few -- wild berry lavender, sparkling cherry, sweet cream biscuits and peach jam, and bay leaf cheesecake. I found most of them a bit too sweet for my taste. I know it's ice cream but I prefer flavors to be a little more subtle and less sugary-tasting. I'm sure I'm in the minority here anyway. I think my favorite flavor was bay leaf cheesecake since it was actually less sweet. All that being said, their flavors are constantly changing. They also let you sample until you find something you like. One of my favorite things about Jeni's is that they use reusable (metal) sample spoons! Ice cream shops must go through a crazy amount of plastic spoons so kudos to Jeni's for taking the sustainable route. Very friendly service. Small parking lot which can fill up during busy times but hey, at least there's a parking lot (parking isn't great in this area overall). read more

Not owned by Jeni McCarthy, sadly. Or JJ Jeni, my fave German model. I think it's really nice that Jeni's Splendid ice creams has come to town and I fully support them. They went from 0 to several Houston locations. I do think this is a very popular national chain now which is really moving into the mold of all of the famous chains such as Ben & Jerry's or Cold Stone, Marble Slab too, which all to me are very different. This one is closer to the first one as in it's pretty good. I like the early locations and I love the one in Columbus. But now that it's massively franchised it definitely isn't quite as good. Still lovely to have it in Montrose. read more

I eat ice cream all the time, considering it's my favorite dessert. When in Houston, I usually turn to ice cream shops, such as Tiny's Milk & Cookies. However, my sister recommended this cute place to me since they have a larger variety of flavors and it is less expensive. Thank goodness she did! After two times of going here, Jeni's has quickly become my favorite spot to get ice cream, and I can assure you that when you go, it will become one of your favorites too. For example, I took my dad's wife here one time to try, since she's a fan on Tiny's like me, and she ordered 4 scoops of ice cream and ate ALL of it! My two favorite flavors are Gooey Butter Cake and Brambleberry Crisp. The sweet brambleberry jam layered throughout the vanilla ice cream provides a tartness that cuts the fatty vanilla, and the oat-streusel provides a unique break in texture from the creaminess. On the other hand, Gooey Butter Cake is just such a comforting flavor with delicious caramel butterscotch sauce swirled throughout cream cheese ice cream with pieces of vanilla cake. Having a split scoop of both these flavors is just a piece of heaven in my hand! read more

This is such a cute little ice cream shop for the person who wants a good variety of flavors, a solid cone, and an instagramable picture spot.

Great ice cream flavor and fun hangout vibes if you're willing to accept the premium price tag. I have loved Jeni's ice cream for years as their flavors are bold and true to their labels. Their Montrose location is designed very simply on the inside. There are several tables and booths and two nearly identical ice cream scooping stands. The workers are quick to serve, friendly, and helpful as they usually are. I usually get the trio flight which is ~$10. I try to switch up the flavors but always get the darkest dark chocolate which any dark chocolate lover will enjoy. At this location, they have outside seating and some fun, spinning top chairs too. read more

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams just opened their Montrose location and I've already been 4 times since the grand opening. Does that show how much I love this place? Haha 10/10 would recommend! While their parking lot is small, we were happy that they even have a parking lot because parking in Montrose can be tough. Once you're inside though, you immediately get hit by their mesmerizing freshly baked waffle cone smell. The staff is super friendly, and they encourage you to sample all of the flavors if it's your first time here. My favorite flavors though are high five candy bar, wild berry lavender, frose, gooey butter cake, and brown butter almond brittle. I guarantee they have a flavor everyone would like though! Don't be afraid to try their seasonal rotating flavors as well, enjoy! read more

I can only write this review while using vulgar language. This is the best ice cream I've had. It was f.......good. I kept turning to my wife and saying, "god...... this is so d....good". Gooey butter cake and bramble berry . Wife did the almond butter crisp. Expensive and worth it. read more

We love Jeni's Ice Cream, but we hate their "parking lot" (not their fault though because this area is already notorious for limited parking). Aside from that, the interior is brightly lit and the staff was so friendly and outgoing. There's plenty of tables inside and their swings outside are so cute. Can't go wrong with the Gooey Butter Cake flavor either! We went with our family, so it only made sense to share an ice cream flight. Would return when in the area, and preferably at an off-peak time. read more

I had Jeni's ice cream. I got two scoops in a waffle cone. 1) gooey butter cake: fantastic- gimme 17 of them now. Creamy, salty, buttery, sweet...some of the best non-chocolate ice cream I've ever had. 4.7/5! (Insane) 2) Texas chocolate sheet cake: this one was good too but it was hard to follow the gooey butter cake flavor. It was chocolatey with a bit of dark chocolate bitterness. 3.4/5. The gal working the counter was very nice too and offered many samples! I enjoyed the ambiance of the place as well- could definitely sit with friends or family if wanting to. As far as price, 7-9$ for a 2-scoop cone was worth it! Overall, will definitely go again! 4.1/5!!! read more
