    Jeni's ice cream is one of the good ice cream shops. The flavors taste amazing, the service was friendly on a busy Saturday night and the place still looked clean i definitely recommend coming here for a sweet treat.

    This place has THE BEST ICE CREAM Hands down better than any other place! The employees are always bubbly, attentive, happy, helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and kind! I have never had a negative experience here. It's always very clean and they always have a huge selection of choices of ice cream that also have gluten free options and dairy free also.

    Amazing rich tasting unique multi flavors of ice cream. We treated our granddaughter to ice cream after dinner. The flavors were inviting and inticing. The store was bright and light, and the containers of ice cream all looked wonderful. I thought the scoops were small and a bit pricey. 2 orders of ice cream came to $12.50. The store napkins imprinted with a descriptive narrative on how ice cream should be made and taste. Their ice cream has no stabilizers or emulsifiers and made with milk proteins. We would return again as their ice cream was very delicious

    I liked Jeni's! The flavor combinations are fun and interesting. The ice cream has more of a custard or gelato texture to it. It melted SO fast. By the time we walked outside to snap a picture and sit down, my ice cream was melted. A few bites in, and it was milkshake texture. The couple of bites I had of ooey gooey butter cake were absolutely delicious. The summer special they're running was really tasty including strawberry jelly and whipped cream. I think next time I'll stick to the regular ice cream. Great location right in the heart of Blakeney. I can see us having dinner and walking over for dessert next time.

    This is perfection. Wildberry Lavender, Rainbow Sherbert, and Salted Caramel

    This ice cream shop is perfection. Their decor Their customer service Their ice cream EVERYTHING 5/5 perfection. The women working were so kind and willing to let us try as many flavors as we wanted and were quite knowledgeable on each flavor. You can tell them take pride in their work and I hope they enjoy their job. The rainbow sherbert was the best I've ever had! It was packed with flavor. The salted caramel was creamy and delicious. CANNOT recommend enough

    A couple flavors available today

    We stopped in for a treat while running errands today. It was my first visit to ANY Jeni's and first time trying their ice cream. The shop is located close to Brixx pizza, the fountain and little playground in the shopping center. My husband was outside waiting with our dogs and I did not pay attention to I'd there was any seating inside. (It's a very small space inside.) Outside there is a long bench in front of the shop and a handful of 2 person bistro tables. If you cross the narrow street, there are plenty of tables near the fountain and playground. Now for the ice cream! I knew I wanted to get a trio ($6.95) so we could try multiple flavors. I went with Boozy Eggnog, milk chocolate and white chocolate peppermint. Neither of us drink eggnog but we LOVED it in the ice cream version with the hint of Tennessee whiskey (according to the super nice guy that helped me). That was our favorite flavor. My next favorite turns out to be one that I sampled but didn't get...nondairy Texas sheet cake . Next time I'm getting a scoop of that one with its fudgy cake pieces. My husband really liked the milk chocolate flavor but I only thought it was "ok". The white chocolate peppermint was delicious and not excessively minty. Ooooh and they give you a waffle cone wedge in the trio and holy moly that thing is THE BEST waffle cone I've ever eaten!! I don't know if they use a little browned butter in it but there is just more depth of flavor than typical waffle cones. Next time I'm splurging on the calories and getting my ice cream in a waffle bowl! They have waffle cones, waffle bowls, and regular ice cream cones. The guy was so patient and I tried 3 flavors before deciding. He would have let me try more but I didn't want to be a pain in the butt. I could have gladly tried all of them!! I'm looking forward to the next time I'm in the area running errands now that I know there's a Jeni's there!

    Absolutely love Jeni's! I'm so happy to have this location close to home. I no longer have to spend hours driving and figuring parking. Staff is very polite and professional. I tried my favorite flavors from Jeni's - brambleberry, salty caramel and blackout chocolate cake in a trio dish. Loved it!! I was particularly impressed with the stainless steel tiny sample spoons - Eco-friendly initiative.

    (12/16/22) First impressions are that Jeni's is a throwback from days gone by. It is very unassuming on the outside, lots of glass. Inside is a store length freezer for the ice cream and a long bench with a few chairs. That's where I'm seated now. There's also outdoor seating and I'm sure there are people walking around the mall with ice cream. The flavors that I chose were coffee with sugar and cream, pistachio macaron and boozy eggnog. The coffee flavor is very coffee oriented. It's not as sweet as one may think. I consider that to be a blessing. Its so hard to find flavors that aren't overpowered with sweetness. The pistachio macaron taste like pistachio cream in a gingerbread macaron! Again not a lot of sweetness. The pistachio and the macaron flavors compliment each other nicely. The boozy eggnog paired really well with the coffee. It was smooth and creamy without the heaviness that eggnog usually presents. Altogether it was a great trio. The ice cream is also very dense and doesn't melt easily. It gave me time to enjoy the waffle bowl that it was served in. I'd like to work through all the flavors, which is actually possible by ordering a couple flights.

    Came here after passing from here multiple Times. There was a long line. Staff was very friendly and welcoming upon entering. This place was packed and has nice outside sitting. Ice cream scoop size is big enough. Waffle cone was good tasting. Chocolate ice cream was good tasting.

    I love Jeni's ice cream and this location was great! The space is big with lots of seating. The service was quick. It's in a large shopping center which is super convenient in case you need to do a little window shopping too. Parking was easy, but I bet when it's really busy it might get difficult. The best part is the outdoor awning to provide cover in case of bad weather. Rain or shine you can get some ice cream! My favorite flavors: Gooey Butter Cake, Salted Peanut Butter Seasonal: Boozy Eggnog (Fantastic!)

    The place I'm RUNNING at the sight! I love all kinds of ice cream here, the staff is always very friendly, I also take a couple of packages of ice cream home

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.

Super appreciative of the kindness and effort, especially that close to closing time. Y'all helped make a great memory.

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.

Jeni's continues to offer really fun flavors made well and even in non-dairy options (hooray for vegan flavors!)

Sadly I was only able to narrow it down to two flavors - banana dream pudding (I'm usually not into banana but this is GOOD!) and peppermint patty. It was a weird combo but it worked!

No matter how many new places pop up, nothing ever compares to the quality and creativity they bring to every single scoop. You can always taste the difference. The flavors are always so thoughtfully done, from the classics to the more unique combinations they come out with season by season. It's the kind of place where you end up trying something new every time and somehow it becomes your new favorite. The South End location is such a great spot too. They have seating both inside and outside which makes it perfect whether you want to sit and enjoy a sunny day or just take a quick break while you're out walking around. It always feels like a little reset in the middle of the day. And the team there truly makes the experience. Every time I go in, they are so kind, patient, and so beyond helpful when you're deciding between flavors which is not easy to do. You can tell they actually care This place never disappoints and is one of those spots I keep coming back to again and again. Absolute favorite.

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.
