    Lots of different flavors to choose from; friendly service and super delicious ice cream. Is there anything more to say?

    Austin C.

    This small ice cream shop has a lot of unique flavors to appeal to a variety of palettes. The staff was very friendly and did not rush us whatsoever. They allow customers unlimited samples and were very eager to help us. I tried the milkiest chocolate and buttercream birthday cake ice creams, both of which had an amazing flavor profile and left me smiling. The only downside I could see, was prices that were slightly over your average ice cream shop. Overall, would highly recommend this shop for a quick treat or late night snack!

    Gooey Butter Cake Ice Cream
    Veronica G.

    I love all of Jeni's flavors, but Gooey Butter is my all-time favorite (and also their best seller). I like how the brand innovates with new flavors, though I'm not super pleased with their latest rewards program.

    Fantastic and friendly service every time. The flavors are some of the best I've had and it's become a reoccurring stop for myself and my sisters.

    Texas sheet cake & honey vanilla bean!
    Amaryllis K.

    My favorite ice-cream spot in Charlotte! This Jeni's specifically is my favorite location 'cause majority of the time when I'm in Charlotte I'm usually in the NoDa area, and I just love the ice-cream mural! I LOVE the Texas Sheet cake flavor but on my recent visit it was unavailable. No biggie - I'm always down to try new flavors. So this time I tried the dark chocolate and tahini oat chocolate cookie. The dark chocolate is delish and the tahini oat is an interesting flavor but it's not bad! It's not too sweet and there's still the taste of milk chocolate w/ the oat texture.

    Eat ice cream first! Those are words to live by. My friends and I came to this neighborhood for beers and food and we knew we wanted to try Jeni's. When we were down by another Jeni's off the train line the evening before, there was a line down the block. Being impatient New Yorkers, we don't like to wait so when we walked by this Jeni's and saw there wasn't a line, we marched right in and got some ice cream before we went for beers and dinner. They had a lot of flavors and when we got there, the lady behind the counter was flying solo so she was scooping like crazy. I liked my ice cream. It was really good but I'd heard so much about Jeni's that I was expecting a transcendental experience. I didn't experience that, but I can confirm it's darn good ice cream. There are seats outside of this location and a surprisingly sharp-edged kids play area (seriously, they have these cubes that kids were playing on and they seemed a little risky to me). By the time we left and headed down the block to Wooden Robot for beers, there was a line out the door so I'll remind you, if you want ice cream, just go ahead and get it if you don't see a line.

    Need a sweet treat? Jeni's is it! The Icecream tastes fantastic and the waffle cones are prepared fresh on the premises. The little ice cream house is clean and colorful and the service is professional.

    Gooey Butter Cake  Coffee With Cream & Sugar
    Kim H.

    Ice cream was delicious! Service was great. More seating would have been ideal. I had the Coffee with Cream and Sugar and Gooey Butter Cake. It really was good..but the value not so much. They promote "half scoop so you can try more" but the price is in line with what I pay for larger scoops elsewhere. I'd go back, just know what you are getting is good to know.

    We came here after dinner, convenient location in NODA. Dairy free and gluten free options available. Very creamy and full of flavor. Unique flavors.

    Natika G.

    It smells like heaven in here! The ice cream is absolutely delicious and I love how you can them making the waffles. They offer a variety of different flavors and sizes. Service was cool...we all enjoyed our ice cream.

    Jeni's is my absolute ice cream spot. I take all of my family and friends here when they come to visit.

    Single sugar cone with dark chocolate and coffee
    Kate S.

    I love that this ice cream shop values quality over quantity. I get their kids or their "single" (which is actually two small scoops) and it is just perfect. The ice cream is rich and delicious and it's not too much. My favorite flavors are the dark chocolate and the coffee. I love that they have lots of dairy free options that aren't just sorbet.

    The inside was nice and seemed like a perfect spot to sit and chill out with friends. It was also in a fairly beautiful area.The "server" was kind and assisted me with picking out the flavors.I had a combination of the blueberry johnny cakes and the gooey butter cake.The taste combination was a perfect balance of salty and sweet.The ice cream was delicious, however it was quite pricey and not worth the purchase for what I got.

On this particular visit, I sat on the patio, which I had never done before, but it was nice and quiet and very relaxing on a Sunday evening. I ordered the cheesecake and it was garnished with caramel popcorn, which added a nice touch to look at, but the popcorn was stale so I don't really think it was necessary, but it did make the plate look pretty. The cheesecake was delicious. Couldn't finish it all, but I took it home and finished it the next day. Our server was great. She was very attentive, friendly, and gave good suggestions.

But a good friend of mine said that they go all the time and haven't had any issues and wanted to get me to try it again. So, we went on a Saturday evening around 6ish. We didn't necessarily have any issues getting in, but the hostess did say that her security might have an issue with the shirt my friend had on, even though he was very dressed up. It made me uncomfortable and seemed threatning almost. But she let us in and everything was fine. I don't understand why Crave always acts this way. But then when I walk in I see people of non-color dressed any kind of way, casual, etc. It just really rubs me the wrong way and for it to happen to me EVERY time I go, only leads me to one conclusion... So, anyway. We were there and we ordered hookah drinks and had a good time. Our server was super sweet and chill. She really saved the visit. I had a good time, but I most likely will not be back again.

The shop is very small, they have a good selection of flavors, and it is all dairy, egg, and gluten free. You honestly would never know! It tasted exactly how ice cream should. Great mouth feel, rich, but not sweet. We tried the chocolate with cookies and Oreo pieces and the mint chip. Very very tasty. Again, if they did not tell you this was dairy free, you could not tell at all. They offer tastes, you can get one or two scoops or waffle cones, or ice cream sandwiches, and I think you can ask for sprinkles. They have a friendly staff behind the counter. They are also cashless, so be sure to have a credit card here. I would definitely come back for another flavor, I was really wowed by this ice cream. If you are in Camp North End, stop in for a scoop.

So which version are customers supposed to believe? Regardless of who is saying what, the outcome is the same. They lost several customers yesterday, and we will not be returning after this experience. After talking to a lawyer, they believe this is predatory enforcement, and we will file a complaint with the North Carolina Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division and with the Better Business Bureau. Two Scoops Creamery on Central Avenue went from being one of our favorite spots to somewhere we will never return in less than a minute. We met up with a group of friends there today. Before grabbing ice cream, we briefly stopped into Sin City next door. As one of our friends was walking in, he noticed cars in the shared parking lot were actively being booted. We had been there maybe 15 minutes. Apparently, if you step into the neighboring business at all -- even if you're planning to purchase from Two Scoops immediately after -- they will boot your car and demand $275 to remove it. We spoke directly with the staff at Two Scoops and explained that we were simply meeting up and didn't realize stepping next door wasn't allowed. The response was essentially, "Too bad." There was no grace, no warning, no attempt at understanding -- just an immediate $275 penalty. It feels like an incredibly predatory and unethical practice, especially for loyal customers who intended to support the business. We didn't even stay for ice cream, and we won't be back.
