Have mixed feelings about this place. While ordering, the staff was a little.... interesting? The staff was asking my dad really weird questions about our personal lives, asking me why I was wearing a college shirt for a college I didn't attend, judging us on the flavors we ordered, or even eating the ice cream out of the tubs themselves. We were a little turned off by the staff and hoped the ice cream would be redeeming. Overall, it was fine. I got the red velvet and coffee chocolate chunk and it was just fine. It definitely hit the spot considering it was super hot outside, but not sure if I'd be so inclined to re-visit due to the weirdness and uncomfort from the staff

Place was pretty empty when we came in but feels like it could get super busy. Clean shop, great flavors. Good customer service and clean bathrooms. Overall not a bad shop, would love to see how it holds against other shops here in Nashville. Love that it's local and still a staple.

One of the best ice creams I've ever had!! So rich and delicious. Opted for the chocolate raspberry and blueberry cheesecake both were fantastic. Chocolate raspberry had tiny raspberry cups of chocolate and the blueberry had chunks of cheesecake. Great place for dessert!

More than 30 varieties of homemade ice cream and a full espresso bar from this locally-owned shop - I followed Harry in the door and enjoyed some Sneakers from the friendly staff. Looking forward to some of the famous floats next time!

The drinks we got were not too sweet and just perfect. The service was nice and friendly. The inside was clean and had cool stuff in there.

This place is busy and now, I understand why! Delicious ice-cream with all the love. Generous portions too. Had their coconut! Yum!!

Staff was friendly and it was not busy. Homemade ice cream with good flavor choices. Interesting hot chocolate choices. I went a bit rogue and tried the Mumbai hot chocolate but I probably should have chosen a less exotic flavor. The clove and ginger was a bit overpowering for my preference and the small was only about 2/3 full then the rest was whipped cream. My daughter enjoyed her butter cookie milkshake. Small seating area tucked down 2nd Ave near Hard Rock Cafe. Bathrooms had a sign for 5minute time note (poop and scoot I guess-lol). Also looks like there may be a VRBO attached to the store (how interesting). Interesting spot.

Sweet Corn Pudding Ice Cream.

After hopping around to the Honky Tonks on Broadway, we came across Mike's and decided to take a break from drinking and get a dessert instead. We were able to sample some ice cream flavors before choosing a Double Scoop ($7.50) and a Double Espresso ($3.85). We split the scoop, but I had the Sweet Corn Pudding flavor, which was unique. It was pretty good with some bits of actual corn in it too. Other than that, all other flavors were pretty standard.

Coffee fudge ice cream

We visited Mike's while in Tennessee very nice clean and friendly staff. Quick service no lines compared to the ice cream shop nexts door. My friend had 2 scoop blueberry cheesecake ice cream which was so good...I sampled the red velvet cake ice cream but ended up going with the coffee fudge (2 scoop) which I enjoyed.

Perfect place to stop by to rest your tired feet! They give big portion of ice cream scoop and it really can satisfy your cravings. Lines can get long really fast and not a lot of seating inside but have a few tables outside.

Great place to stop in if you're craving something sweet. Came here for some ice cream. I ordered the butter pecan and it was the perfect amount. Staff were ok. It gets busy here. Plenty of seating inside and outdoors.

When you are in 90 degree weather and need something cold but also need a pick me up, stop in to Mike's. Not only are their flavors extensive but you can customize beyond belief! We went with the Affogato, which is basically espresso over ice cream. We tried both the Salted Caramel and Pralines and Cream flavors. Beyond delicious! There were 10 other things we wanted to try so we are adding Mike's to our list for our next Nashville vacation!

So glad I got to be refreshed from the heat of the day at Mike's! There was an ice cream shop right next door that I stopped at first, but I was not impressed by their Icecream. When I sampled Mike's, I was immediately won at first bite. I loved the unique flavors and how expansive the options were. There was also coffee and other items, adding to the menu variety. The staff had a good vibe and were nice. My friend who is dairy free was even able to get some icecream that she raved about (and she also didn't like the shop next door). I loved the small coffee shop vibe and even took a moment to sit and kick back here. I would recommend stopping in for a sweet treat!

What this does is evenly distribute the toppings throughout the ice cream AND make the ice cream itself stretchy and smooth. It creates a really good mouthfeel when eating. My go-to is their birthday cake ice cream (it's very sweet but I promise it's nothing crazy! It's a nice rich subtle flavor.), with cookie dough and m&ms. I always love it. Sometimes, depending on the worker, they'll skimp on the toppings, but if you ask for a little more they're good about it. GO for whatever flavors/combos you think you'll like, it's pretty impossible to screw up!!

There is a smell so putrid and foul inside that we ate our ice cream and cookies outside in the rain. Initially I gave them the benefit of the doubt, thinking they were just having plumbing issues, but I see this smell is mentioned in reviews going back at least a year. Every inch of this store smells like sewage but also an animal shelter. I am truly perplexed how they are passing inspections. On top of that, the prices are incredibly steep. My friends each paid $8 for their small cup of ice cream. You can get designer ice cream (Jeni's) for less! Some reviews mentioned bad service, but the employees were kind to us and we had no issues with them.

Jeni's ice cream is one of the finest in the city. They always have a mix of traditional flavors…read morelike brownie batter, cookie dough, chocolate, and some whimsical ones like Hibiscus chili and Goat cheese red chili, and I like to dabble between both. Their ice creams are creamy and naturally flavored. I have tried the Brambleberry Crunch, which is one of my favorites. Their Darkest Chocolate ice cream is also delicious and decadent. But the Hibiscus Chili was the most underrated flavor. I think it deserves a lot more hype. The ice cream shop at this location can get very busy, but the service is extremely quick. The team at Jeni's is always patient with me, even when I am confused with all their range of flavors. I particularly love how the shop smells of baked waffle cones.

Listen, there is a distinct tactical strategy required when you walk into Jeni's on 5th and Broad…read more Step one: Accept the line. It's long, it's inevitable, and trying to fight it is a rookie mistake. Because when ice cream is this profoundly good, crowds happen. Step two: Don't panic. The crew behind the counter operates with the high-speed efficiency of a pit crew, yet somehow maintains the absolute patience of saints while you undergo an existential crisis deciding on flavors. My personal blueprint for success was all about contrast. I engineered a double-scoop masterpiece: a heavy, deeply decadent, unapologetic chocolate base, perfectly countered by a lighter, delicate second scoop to balance the universe. It was an elite flavor pivot. Delicious doesn't even cover it. Meanwhile, my wife absolutely devoured her fruit-forward flavors with a speed that felt slightly competitive. Total sensory overload in the best way possible. I'm giving this place a flawless five stars, mostly because I have to, but also because I am currently stalking the freezer aisle of my local Publix like a person possessed, trying to hunt down pints to replicate this high until I can get back to Nashville. Do your tastebuds a favor. Just get in line.
