We showed up about 10 minutes before closing after dinner at Si! Mon and were so glad we didn't skip it. We stood outside eating our delicious ice cream while music from the clubs spilled into the street was such a fun little moment. The energy totally pulled us in and right after we finished, we walked straight over to Belles Beach House for drinks and dancing. Eating ice cream with nearby parties thumping in the background was the perfect start to the night.

Great ice cream, definitely on the expensive side, but worth it while you are walking along the Ocean. Service was fantastic. Trying flavors on little silver spoons does make you feel fancy. Lots of construction work going on nearby but with the beach so close, ambience is great. Over all great spot to try. I just don't appreciate the astronomical pricing, but I do understand that the quality is definitely there. Kids were happy with their half scoops, so they could try multiple flavors!

brambleberry crisp, darkest chocolate

jeni's has one of my favorite chocolate ice creams, the darkest chocolate is amazingg for someone who really loves rich dark chocolate. the brambleberry crisp is great if i want something lighter, but i would always recommend sampling all the seasonal flavors too, they're always so good! the standard size is around $8 for two half scoops which is pretty pricy but also somewhat expected in venice :')

Fun ice cream shop with some vegan/dairy-free options that are quite tasty. On a hot day, it's very refreshing. They have 3 dairy free options and all of them are delicious. My only complaint is how sweet it tastes. The sugar content is just a little too sweet for my taste buds. Otherwise, the place was clean, employees were friendly and prices were decent.

The staff was very friendly, patient, and nice! The ice cream was delicious and I would definitely recommend getting the waffle bowl. This is a small window for ice cream, but you can still sample their flavors. My favorite was the darkest chocolate.

Darkest Chocolate, Mint Chocolate Chip, Bay Leaf Cheesecake, Wildberry Lavender

Premium flavours! Be sure to check out their seasonal exclusive flavour board! And don't be shy to ask for samples! In my photo, we have the darkest chocolate, mint chocolate chip, bay leaf cheesecake, and wildberry lavender. The wildberry lavender left a lasting impression, really nice lavender flavour balanced with citrusy berries, really refreshing, paired quite nicely with my darkest chocolate; I felt it would've paired quite nicely in an affogato too. It's a flavour I'll be sure to look out for on my next hunt for ice cream and try to replicate back home. The bay leaf cheesecake deserves special mention too, it's a crumble cheesecake ice cream with a refreshing kick to it.

Had an awesome first visit at Jeni's in Venice. The person who helped me was very friendly, helpful, and provided excellent service overall. I sampled a few of the flavors and decided on the coffee and darkest chocolate ice creams in a waffle bowl. The outdoor seating area was comfortable and the umbrellas provided plenty of shade. Looking forward to coming back and trying some of their other flavors

The staff was really friendly I love getting the ice cream here because they have unique flavors and their one scoop is really two half scoops and you get to try two flavors which is nice if you can't decide the hard part is the location of this one because of construction bin the area right now it's hard to get free parking

Omg their flavors are amazing
Alex C.

Amazing flavors! Quick service! Just order at the window and you're good to go! They'll let you try all the flavors too. Simple and effective. Keep in mind the spot is by the beach so parking can be tough. Waffle cone was a little salty, but other than that I'd come back!

They almost went on their 30 minute break but thank goodness he took our order. I loved their ice cream. Don't miss it, it's a hole in the wall, really. But so good. No pics because we ate it so fast.

I always opted for more traditional ice-cream. Then I was dragged to Bacio di Latte in the Marina.... and things changed. Something clicked. Off in the distance a dog howled, while a random girl in Portland, Maine broke the heel of her Jimmy Choo's trying to navigate a cobblestoned path. Now..... I fear.... I can't live without it. Furthermore, two of my kids work in neighboring ice-cream parlors, and now I feel guilty every time I come in here. Grown ass dad here, and I find myself sneaking out for Bacio... My go to is the chocolate pistachio in a waffle cone, with either pistachio or nutella coating, and covered with pistachios. It's pure bliss. (see my attached pic) Sorry my children. If Bacio is a crime, may God forgive me. I give in. To sin.

I think it is a little expensive, but the quality is good. The service was good, we were able to sample as many flavors as we wanted. There was a piece of hair in my mom's ice cream and the lady remade the cone. Ambiance: clean with small bar stool seating area and a single bathroom

We had heard of KINNEY BLVD from the FRIDAY Food Truck Cookout. I learned that that's where they filmed the last scenes in the movie CHEF!!!

They have interesting flavors and have expanded quite a bit from their start in Oregon. The Abbot Kinney location was packed and service was a bit slow since their was only one person who was scooping the ice cream and serving as cashier. Honey lavender: Steeped lavender petals in local honey, bringing out more complex and herbaceous flavors. Has a distinct light purple color and did not taste like soap like some places that attempt lavender flavors. Hazelnut cookies and cream: Okay, if you think you've had Cookies & Cream, you haven't tried Salt & Straw's Oregon version. Apparently, Oregon grows like 99% of the country's hazelnuts, and they actually use nuts from their own farm for this. It's a coconut cream base with bourbon vanilla, packed with crushed sandwich cookies and this insane hazelnut butter fudge ripple.
