Flavors are limited, service is very slow. It's a walk up window without an indoor space which is fine depending on the weather but for some reason we've been here 25 min and there was only 3 people in front of us, and we've ordered but still waiting on our ice cream which was only 2 standard cones. Much expected way faster service. read more

Only four flavors available at this location but one was my favorite; choclatiest chocolate. Happy Camper! Can't beat Jeni's.

This spot was really good. We were a little disappointed to show up at opening and have the window not pop up till 8 after only to tell us they couldn't open for 15 more minutes. That felt confusing, since I would assume the ice cream was ready to go. The flavors were really good, but the scoops are veryyy small. It's a small little walk up to the window spot, so if you aren't careful you might miss it. Overall, I would try it again. read more

I stopped by this walk-up location for a mid-afternoon ice cream break on a hot Wednesday in mid-June 2025. This place is adjacent to Brown Bag deli but is easy to miss. First, the double dough flavor was really delicious. Second, there were only 2 tables with limited seating. Third, Schiller Park is only one block away (to the south). The employee at Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream was nice and offered to give samples before I committed to a particular flavor. If you're exploring the German Village area and walking through Schiller Park on a hot day, this place is well worth a stop for an ice cream break. read more

Jenis has become a CONGLOMERATE. Nothing I say yay or nay will sway the public but I just wanted to put my two cents in on a spot I had no clue existed. After stepping out Brown Bag Deli for a delicious sandwich boom there it is right next door, Jenis. I sampled some dark chocolate ice cream with some chili crisp seasoning on it and it was unique and spicy and sweet. It was almost like eating General Tso's Ice cream or something. It was for a limited time so it may not be there anymore but it is good! If you're in the Schiller Park area and want to cool off then head on over! Nothing like washing down your exercise with some ice cream! read more

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

If you happen to be in Columbus and are hankering for some homemade ice cream - run don't walk to Jeni's. The location I went to is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood in the German Village. Jeni's trades in a handful of unique often seasonal flavors you won't find anywhere else. They also make their own waffle cones. I got the Darkest Chocolate, which I can only describe as eating a dark chocolate brownie in ice cream form. 10/10 would come here again. Would try the OG location in the Short North which I hear has more flavors. read more

Been here a few times over the years, somehow never reviewed it? It's a tiny storefront in the middle of German Village. Handy when you're walking around, visiting Schiller Park, etc. Baby K and I wanted ice cream on a hot day and it was right there. Limited flavors, but they had a couple we wanted: the biscuits and peach jam for her, almond butter brittle for me. Creamy, sweet, dense ice cream. Expensive, but good. Good service. A few tables to eat at, or just walk down to the park. A Columbus institution, with a classic location in an old neighborhood. read more

I would consider Jeni's more of a "fancy" ice cream situation. If you want classic flavors then this would not be the place for you. However the flavors they have are pretty solid. They have unique flavors (goat cheese, etc) along with more standard (peanut butter, darkest chocolate). This is a walk up window so sometimes it doesn't have as many flavors as other locations, but it usually has a decent assortment. What I do love about Jeni's is that you can get two half scoops if you are torn between flavors. I stuck with more conventional options and got the darkest chocolate and salty peanut butter. They went well together. My girlfriend the honey vanilla bean and she thought it was okay. Overall if you're in the mood for some different ice cream flavors this is definitely worth a stop. Just know that there is no seating, it's a window only. read more

Stopped by to get ice cream for family around 8:00 pm anytime I asked the young kid about the ice cream all he could say is it's on the board outside . annoying and bad customer service when you can't answer questions about what's available when there is a lingering line and it's dark out. Would not respond because of poor service. What's more disgusting is you expect a tip.... Seriously Jeni hire professional help and remove tip option until your staff can do better .... Tired of subsidizing wages for inadequate help who are more concerned with their phone than doing their job..... can't support this business or recommend... And, U've been buying Jeni's ice cream since it was a small business at the North Market in mid 1990'a but have to put my foot down when the workers don't care about customers.... read more

Her ice cream is good for the soul. I have this location just a few blocks down the road from me. It's really not right. Lol We went A LOT this summer while walking around in the high heat of the summer. Fixed all my problems. :) My favorite here is the cold brew non-dairy ice cream. It's the best mix of both worlds. My other favorites are brambleberry crisp and darkest chocolate. This location is a lot smaller than the others. Choices are very limited in terms of flavors because of it. Other locations have more and in the past have each served different flavors. Grandview serves this cherry flavor that I am IN LOVE with but neither my location nor the Short North location serve it and I'm closer to those. I gave this location a 4 because a few times either the ice cream wasn't made right and was real crumbly (hard for walking with my dog) or the person behind the counter made all of us wait while she finished making waffle cones (knowing we were all standing there). When she got to the window seemed a tad bit annoyed.. Could have just been a bad day for her everyone else here is usually just so nice. I mean it's ice cream. Ice cream makes everything better, especially if it's coming from Jeni's #blessup read more

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams - TWO SCOOPS of Brambleberry crisp and darkest chocolate in a fresh from the waffle maker cone. Yew!! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Jeni's in German Village is the cutest little walk-up window ice cream spot! There weren't many flavors to choose from but honestly, I've always believed in quality over quantity. The Honey Vanilla Bean ice cream was sooo good. I've never tasted vanilla ice cream that was so truly authentic. I chose to add rainbow sprinkles but I almost wish I hadn't - the ice cream was the star all on its own. That said, the waffle bowl was fantastic too! I could smell the waffle smell as I was walking down the street and it was mesmerizing. Definitely a great little spot to stop at, especially on a beautiful, sunny day! read more

I had heard about this walk up window situation but had never seen it to believe it. I finally did one evening! It's so close to Schiller Park! There was a line but it went quick. The menu is small. Not a ton of options. Im mostly dairy free. I got the rose sorbet. Fantastic! Jeni's never fails read more

Some people might complain that the German Village Jeni's has too few flavors, but I don't really mind. I find that I try different flavors than I normally would here, and it's the cutest. I love walking here with my dog. They used to have dog biscuits, so he walks up to the window like he's the one ordering, but they haven't had them recently, so he gets the waffle cone piece out of my trio. No need to feel sorry for him! Going to miss having a Jeni's in walking distance from me when I leave Columbus. FYI: If you like citrusy or tart flavors, don't sleep on Sunshine. I'm a chocoholic and have passed on Texas Sheet Cake to order this several times. If you're not sure just ask for a sample! They are always very nice about this. Bonus points for compostable dishes and silverware. read more

This Jeni's location is tucked away in German Village, so you'll definitely have to keep your eyes open to find it, but it's the cutest little ice cream spot! You just walk up to the window and they give you your ice cream. While they often run out of a lot of flavors at this location (and they don't have as many as other shops), they do still have great options! I got a scoop of the darkest chocolate and it was tasty! Nothing beats a yummy ice cream after a long walk in the park!! Jeni's is great ice cream, no doubt, but the ice cream is pricey! It's fun to go get ice cream every now and again, and I would only stop at a Jeni's once in a while. One scoop is $5.25, so prepare your wallet! I would definitely recommend Jeni's and this is the perfect location to get your ice cream fix! read more

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams - Darkest Chocolate - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Ah, the beauty of care, creativity, and fine craftsmanship in frozen dairy form. A marriage of dessert artistry and successful commerce. Magnificent! I am not a local and therefore had no idea what wonders upon which I had stumbled. We just happened to spy this walk-up window on a leisurely, springy Friday afternoon after lunch next door at the Brown Bag. I almost always have a yen for ice cream, but a single glance at the menu board (see photo) hooked me. Bourbon butter pecan? Be still my throbbing heart. We walked right up to the window, and...the stuff was so good that I had to return ASAP since our guest house was only a few blocks away. 24 hours later, on a busy German Village yardsale Saturday, I waited in line fifteen minutes. To make a long, rapturous story short and palatable to the average reader, I tried four ice creams the first day and four the second day. Dark chocolate and bourbon butter pecan in the same cup is a little dish of heaven. The meyer lemon and blueberry was the best of all of them, at least in sunny mid-May. The riesling poached pear was a very strong second and paired langorously with strawberry buttermilk on a warm spring day. The Rockmill ale with apricots was the most unexpectedly perfect pairing: beer and apricots match up shockingly well. The people in line with me on Saturday were very surprised and excited to see a Jeni's in German Village. I don't know who Jeni is, but apparently her fans are legion. I can see, or rather taste, why--brilliantly executed classics as well as unique flavors which manage to be charmingly inventive but not gratuitously weird. Or, put more succinctly, some of the best ice cream that I've ever had (and you too, I bet). read more

I've been to plenty of Jeni's locations, but this one is the cutest I have ever seen. With a little walk up window and about 6-7 flavors to choose from, located across from Schiller Park, this tiny little Jeni's offers everything you need on beautiful spring day (or summer, or fall). I also think this location has slightly bigger scoops, which also deems it my favorite Jeni's spot. read more

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams - bramble berry - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Jeni's Ice cream is a must try when in Columbus. The ice cream will disappoint. They offer samples if you unsure. They even have a dairy free option. My wife had the Texas Sheet Cake (non dairy). It is homemade and does sell out. read more

Jeni's is a boutique creamery. They do a few flavors and they make them unique. I thought they did a great job bringing out the flavors of their ingredients. It's also nice that they bake their own waffle cones, bowls, and wedges. Fresh and tasty! The main downside is the price. You do get to pick half scoops and assemble your own dish (including 4+, which they don't list as an option), and the size of each scoop is pretty darn decent... you know what? I can't demote a whole star just for price when you get this quality. The dark chocolate is the 2nd best I've had behind Christina's, which is indeed praise. The blueberry tasted like blueberry and the snozzberry tasted like... well, you'll have to find out. Find this location around the corner in a tiny window with no seating. It's odd, but as long as you know you're getting this to go, again, not deducting the star, because it's so much better than not having a Jeni's here. read more

Don't you dare ever ask me to compare it to Graeter's... Black raspberry chocolate chip runs through my veins.... BUT.... Jeni's is an Ohio staple and there's good reason why. Jeni's is all about unusual ice cream flavors and they never disappoint. This location, nestled in the heart of the charming German Village, is a walk-up window. On a hot day, this was the perfect place to grab a cold treat and keep walking. Perfect day plans? Grab some Jeni's and go for a walk down to the Book Loft and peruse their MANY rooms lined with great reads. The ice cream is rich and flavorful and their many flavor varieties could surely please a large/picky crowd. If you need a "safe" choice, the Brambleberry crisp is always a crowdpleaser. read more

Wow.. The Yelp Peeps in Columbus weren't lying when they said that Jeni's is a must eat!! OMG! probably some of the best ice cream that this fat boy has ever eaten! I was blown away at how rich and tasty their ice cream was. I'm pretty adventurous with food flavors but I have to admit that I am a gigantic wuss when it comes to exotic ice cream so I decided to take the safe road and opted for the dark chocolate and roasted strawberry. It was love at first bite. I would've loved to try the other flavors but just didn't have the room in my belly to do so. Tips for cross country foodie trekkers: this is the closest Jeni's location to Thurman's read more

I live down the street, which makes this walk up Jeni's location dangerous. It's such a treat during the warmer months and the line is never long. My all time fav combo is the Ndali Vanilla Bean + Root Beer. It tastes just like a root beer float! There are a couple of table and chairs set out, which makes it the perfect pit stop to sit and enjoy a cold treat before heading off to Schiller Park. The staff leaves a water bowl outside for your pup too! read more

This is the cutest little location for an ice cream shop. It's compact with just a table or two with chairs nearby. I think this is geared towards residents walking to and/or from the park.

Rainy day visiting loved ones. They suggested this place. So glad they did. It was cute. And I love ice cream...especially trying different flavors. Today I got one scoop of salted caramel and one scoop of roasted strawberry. I loved them both. I like the chalk board style menu on the side of the building with bulbs all around...and ordering at the window. The employee was "cool". If it wasn't raining, it would have been nice to sit in the patio chairs and watch the time go by. read more

Love this jenis location, so cute and convenient when walking around German village. It is a walk up so I believe only open for the season. They had a limited supply of flavors which was somewhat disappointing, I love the lavender ice cream which they didn't have. However, the tried the frose flavored one and it was really good. Great service, and there are a couple tables to sit at outside. read more

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams - This jenis has the cutest walk up window! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This is a smaller version of the Jeni's you are probably familiar with... They only have the most popular flavors, and only has a walk-up window (no indoor ordering or seating). However, for customers of the Brown Bag Deli needing desert, or those on their way to Schiller Park in the German Village, this is a solid Jeni's location. Parking is on the street, unless you park in the Schiller Park's lot and walk over. As I mentioned before, this is a walk-up only location with limited selection. Also, the store is only open seasonally for the summer read more

Well, Jeni has done it again. She's given us one more store to make it that much more convenient to stop on by for some of her amazing ice cream while in the German Village area. Conveniently located near Schiller park, it will be hard to avoid on those hot summer days! This is a cute little hole in the wall (literally, a hole in the wall with a walk-up window), but don't let the size fool you. They have several flavors to choose from, as well as freshly made waffle cones! You'll even smell them a block away as they're being made! Have patience when coming to this location. You can't visually see the ice cream and only 1-2 people can be waited on at a time, so those indecisive Jeni's lovers are under pressure to keep the line moving! read more

This might possibly be the cutest, tiniest store. Ever. This Jeni's scoop shop is unlike any of her others. Here's what you need to know: * It's only open for seasonally: Opening in late spring and closing in the fall. * This store is a walk-up only, but the park is nearby for you to enjoy your ice cream. * Due to space constraints, only a limited selection is offered here. So, if you're looking for something in particular, you might want to go to one of the full-size scoop shops. Even though the space is limited, you'll still find the same delicious ice cream and the same incredible employees. read more

First time trying Jeni's splendid ice cream here! Amazing flavor and absolutely love waffle cones! I tried brambleberry crisp and salted caramel which were both amazing. My bf got brambleberry and vanilla. Salted caramel i don't think i could have a whole scoop of that alone it does get pretty sweet however mixed in with another half scoop of something else and it's a nice balance. Cute spot to quickly pick up a scoop! read more

This location is only open seasonally, and they don't have all the flavors. Street parking, which can sometimes be a pain in German Village. If it's a nice day, a stroll around Schiller Park with ice cream in your hand sounds like a lovely thing to do! It's a walk-up window that you order from, not a store you walk into. Jeni's is pretty quality ice cream, everyone already knows that. There's not much to say that hasn't already been said. I do think the quality has declined somewhat since they've expanded more and more across the country, but it's still above average ice cream...and I have yet to find a better Salty Caramel! read more

Amazingly creamy and full of authentic flavors. I had the vanilla bean and the cherry stout. Awesome. The flavor and creamy texture make this a must have in the CBus area. There were a good dozen flavors and they all sounded pretty good. My friends tried a few others and we were thoroughly impressed. O sweet summer time! So how does this stack up with some other gourmet ice cream places? I have a Mitchell's Ice cream in Cleveland that makes great local flavors but this is just as good. If you want rich creamy ice cream, these guys win. If you want more complex flavors go to a Micthell's. Either way still a great place. read more

I was told of this amazing ice cream shop, so we tried it out - good ice cream, but not a lot of choices/variety. Also, if you visit this location, plan on sitting outside at one of 3-4 tables, or just getting it to go and walking around. It wasn't what I'd hoped, but had good service and good flavor. read more

The dairy-free ice cream was subpar. I also got less than all the other people I was with (they got regular ice cream). It just tasted like a milky snow cone? Not fun. read more

I'm not sure what more to say than simply AMAZING. While this location doesn't have as many options as the other location I've visited, there were still ample options, all of which were very intriguing. I had a scoop of the salty caramel and a scoop of The Buckeye (it's Ohio!). They were delicious, and I definitely left knowing I'd be back. Aside from the flavors and awesome ice cream, this location itself is worthy of praise. It's a "pop-up"-type store in German Village, and it's tucked in beside several houses on a residential street leading to the park. It is the perfect place to get a scoop (or several!) of ice cream while out for a walk on a nice day or night. read more

The majority of the time they are out of most flavors. Today they just had two reject flavors. I love jeni's, but avoid the German village location. read more

After eating dinner at The Thurman Cafe, I decided to go on a little walk around the neighborhood. I noticed that this ice shop wasn't far from Thurman's so I thought I'd go on a mini adventure. I've only read about Jeni's because back in the day I was into the whole "paleo" thing and all the paleo bloggers raved about this place. Well, they weren't wrong. I ordered the salty caramel and darkest chocolate and I was not disappointed. It was delicious! The only thing I didn't like was that there wasn't any where to sit except for outside and the window didn't have a sign that said, "Order here." I'm not dumb but if you're in a new place, you're a bit more apprehensive and don't want to look TOTALLY lost. However, I'm glad I made the short walk to Mohawk Street because it was totally worth it. :) read more
