    I came by close to closing on a Saturday night, and was served right away. There were plenty of tables and the inside was clean. I got a scoop of Double Dough and Birthday Cake, and both were delicious.

    Darkest chocolate/mixed berry passion fruit in a waffle cup
    Jesica V.

    Tasted a whole bunch of flavors before landing on our combo of Darkest Chocolate (way more chocolatey than your average chocolate ice cream) and Mixed Berry Passion Fruit. Served up in a waffle cup, it was one of the most delicious ice cream treats I've had in a long time. Jeni's can often be a little on the sweet side for my tastes, but this combo hit the spot perfectly. And the service was friendly and patient. Great spot for some adventurous flavors and new twists on the old ones.

    A good sweet treat after dinner! Lots of unique flavors. Ice cream is not super sweet which I love. The little waffle cone crisp is also a nice touch. The workers are always super friendly, and it's always a quick line. A Chicago dessert staple!

    Jeni's is always a good place to grab quality ice cream. I will say that prices have gone up. I enjoy scoop or two but now eating out is starting to become a treat. On this occasion, I got the Darkest Chocolate and Ooey Buttercake in a bowl. The ice cream was good as usual. Marked this location down to 4 stars as the sitting area was not very clean and the staff were welcoming. The bathroom was clean!!! Maybe because only two people working, then didn't have time to wipe down the tapes.

    They were okay. Service was sweet. The ice cream was just ice cream. Nothing spectacular but absolutely nothing bad. The interior vibe was a VIBE. City Street Parking. IYKYK

    I got 1 scoop of Gooey Butter Cake and 1 scoop of Pistachio. My cousin got 2 scoops of Chocolate.

    I went here with my cousin last week after dinner. It was my 1st time trying Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream and I was amazed! I got 1 scoop of Gooey Butter Cake and 1 scoop of Pistachio. My cousin got 2 scoops of Chocolate. The staff were friendly and the ambiance was nice & spacey for us to enjoy our ice cream.

    The best ice cream in Chicago. The Logan Square spot has a cozy feel that wasn't too crowded or too empty. I got a trio, but I HIGHLY recommend the coffee flavor. Regardless of what you get, everything here is a home run. Staff was friendly and patience with samples. Go with your friends or on a cute date! - AD

    Darkest chocolate with fly by jing chili crisp (also salty caramel and vanilla)
    Johnfavour N.

    You know an ice cream spot is good when the line is out the door! Every time we go to Jeni's we can smell the fresh waffle cones when we open the door. It's definitely worth the wait, the ice cream is one of the most premium ice creams you can get. And even when you get the ice cream in a cup they give a little chip of the waffle cone. There are a small amount of seats inside so if you're lucky you can get a table. I came by to try their fly by jing spicy chili crisp limited time promotion. I got the double chocolate, salty caramel, and vanilla as a base. Surprisingly the chocolate was my favorite. The chili crisp has such a strong flavor that went well with the deep bitterness of the chocolate. The vanilla was a bit too plain of a flavor and did not balance as well with the chili crisp. Note that you can also ask for the chili crisp on the side! They seem to give more that way. It's a very strong flavor though so you don't need much. They also serve pints of ice cream to go. The workers are pretty friendly and can help you decide which flavors to get if you need help choosing.

    Great service and selections at this location. Absolutely loved the chocolate peanut butter ice cream. You can expect to pay a higher rate than most other ice cream places for this artisanal ice cream, but it's well worth it.

    Yum! I love Jeni's ice cream and it's a must stop for me when I'm in Chicago. I l love that you can try samples before you select what flavor you want, the standard size comes with 2 flavors and you get a fresh waffle piece on every ice cream so no need to upgrade to the waffle bowl! The seasonal flavors are always great and my favorite are the brambleberry crisp and the darkest chocolate! It's the ultimate treat on a hot day!

    Linda Y.

    This is always a great spot to stop by for ice cream! There are so many unique flavors and the service and atmosphere are always great! I sometimes don't crave too heavy of flavors here (which they are great at making if you are looking to indulge!) but they always have a few lighter flavors that I can enjoy. There are also gluten- and dairy-free options for those interested! They have a ton of take-home pints as well.

    With the heat and the huge number of people at Wicker Park Fest this Saturday, I decided to slip into Jeni's to cool off with some delicious ice cream. Food: I got a fantastic combination of what they called "Saturday in the Park", a combo of Wildberry Lavender, Lemon Bar, and Brambleberry Crisp ice creams. The price point was good and they also had Boylan's Black Cherry soda, a staple of my childhood, so I indulged myself. It was the perfect combination of refreshing, yet savory. Service: the workers were super busy, but took care of each person who came through very carefully. I was impressed with how packed it was that they were focused on a person at a time making sure each customer was happy. Aesthetic: adorable place with a nice flow to it.

    Strawberry buttermilk and dark chocolate
    Amanda C.

    Classic midwest ice cream shop that reminds me of Salt & Straw back on the west coast! Really delicious ice cream you can't go wrong with rotational flavors. Tried their strawberry buttermilk and dark chocolate. The strawberry buttermilk was sooo creamy and smooth, although I wish there was a stronger strawberry flavor. Dark chocolate was very rich and great for chocolate lovers. Like that they give you a few waffle chips even if you don't get a cone, still get the best of both worlds.

    Isn't it a bit outrageous when we're charged an extra $3 for a separate paper cup due to a nut allergy?

    That shouldn't have happened! We aren't meant to charge extra for allergy scoops nor paper cups, what is being charged the last couple of months are the sample spoons, people if we tend to see that the spoons are being used and aren't being brought… 

    Is there anything vegan here?

    Yes! The Dark Chocolate Truffle, Riesling Poached Pear Sorbet, and Blackcurrant Lambic Sorbet (last 2 are seasonal, not sure if they'll be there right now)

(The fact that the joint's been around for over 100 years doesn't hurt either.) It's a small restaurant but we managed to snag a cozy table near the back. We'd already spent most of the day eating, so we decided to share the Atomic Fudge Sundae. It's a fairly enormous concoction. I found it interesting that the hot fudge was served on the side, but it's actually pretty smart because you get control how much (or how little) sauce you get. The ice cream is the highlight. It's creamy and rich, and it's got a really nice flavor, too. The hot fudge was less impressive, but that might be because I had already eaten a Ghirardelli sundae earlier in the day and their hot fudge just can't be beat. The service was super friendly and the atmosphere was kitschy and fun. It's a cool place.

I've had a variety of pastries here, but particularly love the coffee cakes and cookies. The breakfast sandwich is also really great if it's fresh. The staff for the most part have been very warm and friendly. If it's busy, they are less likely to want to chat about the options and give a recommendation, so come in with a few ideas of what you're looking for if you come on a weekend! The store itself is very cute, with lots of wood and warm colors. There is limited seated outside on a few benches. I recommend walking to the park to enjoy your treats and coffee.

She recommended a Bolognese Danish, a Dubai pistachio brownie, and I added an everything bagel and took it all to go. The Danish was by far my favorite. The pastry was flaky, heavenly, and the filling rich and meaty. This is a pastry worth crossing town for. The brownie was fine, but maybe I'm over the Dubai chocolate trend. It didn't really come together as a unified dessert for me. I wanted the brownie to be richer, fudgier, maybe even a bit sweeter. I would probably get something else next time. The everything bagel was a good texture, but the fennel seeds in the seasoning took me so far away from the classic "everything." They overpowered the other flavors, but the texture was fantastic. Overall, I enjoyed the treats I got, would go back to try some other options. I would probably give this 3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up. Also want to add how much I miss Hot Chocolate!

Every time I've passed by, it's usually got a line going out the door so I wouldn't count on a visit being quick. That said, the staff worked fast and were super nice. The interior had a major nostalgia factor, with every kind of retro, old-fashioned candy you could think of filling the space! I saw treats that I haven't seen in decades. As for the frozen treats, they're beautiful in their simplicity. This place is not Jeni's, and they're not trying to be. There were only three custard flavors with seemingly every kind of traditional candy, sundae, and fruit topping available. I heard great things about the concretes in particular and opted for the OMG, which was a peanut butter lover's dream! I ordered it with a swirled vanilla and chocolate custard base, and every bite had chunks of brownie bites and butterfinger pieces. The junior was plenty big and I felt like a pretty good value.

Took me awhile to process the menu but it was pretty simple as there are only three steps but plenty of add-ons. Pick your custard base, pick your add-ons and size. I choose the store favorite "Mocha-madness" which is vanilla base custard and they add brew coffee and chocolate chip and blend. I like it as this was not too sweet and rich coffee flavors. $9 (medium). There are other favorites listed but I was not looking for anything crazy. The store has many candy items that you can buy which does not have to ice cream. There is a long bench in the back of the store where you can sit and enjoy the dessert. I like it and will come back for more.
