    Ice cream is always good. The workers did not seem to want to help. I will be back because I love the ice cream. Maybe she was having a bad day

    Double Dough in a Waffle Cone!

    The perfect sweet treat after dinner! [[HIGHLIGHT]]This Jeni's location is SO cute and served up same delicious ice cream.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got a waffle cone with Double Dough which is chocolate chip cookie dough swirled into a buttery brown sugar custard. It was cookie dough perfection! The ladies working the ice cream counter were so friendly and got the line moving quickly.

    I've been coming to Jeni's for several years, dating back to when I lived in Columbus, Ohio (where the original brick & mortar was). The ice cream is unlike anything else I've ever had. Jeni always has unique flavors (along with the staples of vanilla and chocolate)- there is something for everyone! Definitely consider mixing and matching flavors (they allow you to do 1, 2, or 3 half scoops for that purpose). No matter what store front you walk into, the smell of freshly baked waffle cones will hit your nose instantly. Signature trademark of Jeni's (to me). I love that you can get a cone, waffle bowl, or just a triangle sample of a waffle in your bowl! The flavors are always changing, from season to season, with a few main ones always in the store. The ice cream is smooth and velvety- while several have an added texture, depending on what's mixed in (cake, brownie, caramel, etc). The store always has a line, but it moves fast!! Some of my absolute favorite flavors include the gooey butter cake, salted caramel, and double dough. They offer both dairy-free and gluten-free ice cream. Customer service is friendly, and they don't mind at all if you sample a bunch of different flavors! Love that you can buy pints here to go (and that I'm seeing them in retail stores like Publix now)!

    The flavors were amazingly delicious. I don't remember the name of the flavor but it was a mixture of sweet and savory. The staff was patient as our group tried all of the flavors. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location next to the nightlife spot gave a great vibe for fun and conversation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Free parking, quick service, vegan options, and delicious ice cream! What more can you ask for? I love their ice cream but I normally skip the cones because sometimes they can be stale. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's spacious and clean in the inside and there is something here for everyone![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    The ice cream was unique and delicious. I had the Vanilla Honey and the Double Dough in a waffle cone. It was great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We went with a group and enjoyed sitting outside at the tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The guy behind the counter was very friendly and informative. Least favorite part was trying to understand the parking and the parking validation. I guess if you go to school there or live there it is easy, but we needed some help to figure out how to pay and get verified. But overall I highly recommend it

    Came here with my brother to get our birthday scoops! It was very smooth and hospitable to get our free scoops for our birthday. I loved the variety of flavors. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was very welcoming and friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you haven't tried Jeni's ice cream, this is your sign to!

    Really thick and tasty cones. Lots of flavor options. Friendly staff. Samples offered. Cute and spacious interior with a patio space as well.

    Gooey butter cake, bramble berry crisp, and biscuits and peach jam from top to bottom
    Ravi G.

    The ice cream and waffle bowl is always incredible. Their flavors are unique and always delicious. I got the gooey butter cake, brambleberry crisp, and lastly the biscuits and peach jam. All were phenomenal but wish I had three scoops of gooey butter cake. Staff is incredibly welcoming and happy to offer as many samples as you like. Great experience but better ice cream!

    Brambleberry Crisp and biscuits with the boss
    Claire C.

    Jeni's is genuinely my favorite ice cream shop and I was so excited to see it next to the restaurant I was dining in at. The shop is bright, clean and crisp. There are a few seats inside and picnic benches outside. Staff are friendly and will happily offer samples. The bramble berry crisp is one of my favorites. They just started a new flavor- biscuits with the boss- to celebrate the release of Ted Lasso season 3. It's a buttery tasting vanilla ice cream with short bread pieces. Worth trying :)

    So many great flavors to try, friendly staff, love this place. Might be the best ice cream I've had ‍‍

    My kid loves them. I work nearby and it's nice to have a few scoop shops. They are friendly.

    Great service. Got through the line fast. My first time at any Jeni's they don't have these on the west coast.

    "Eastern-inspired ice cream and other sweets, next door to La Vaquita in Durham"…read more Stopped by this lovely shop at 7pm on a Saturday evening. The name a little hard to catch, but it's a small greenish building immediately beside La Vaquita on Chapel Hill Road (with the giant cow on the roof). The outdoor area is quite nice, with a fenced outdoor area having swings and other seating/ space for families. We were greeted quite warmly when we arrived. They had maybe ~15 flavors of ice cream or similar (will return to that in a second) as well as other sweets like baklava. But this is not your ordinary ice cream shop-- the flavors were unusual. Cucumber, date, and others caught my eye, but I didn't try those. Unlike one Yelp reviewer's comment, when we went, there was both a regular pistachio as well as a vegan pistachio option. I got something different-- I tried the falooda... a Persian inspired ice-cream-like dish with rose syrup and small cooked noodles. The texture is slightly like an italian ice, but the flavor was great. However, there's more-- on a table off to the side, there were separate lemon and cherry flavors that we were invited to try adding to the falooda. Let me tell you-- either addition turned a good dish into a heavenly dish! Sooooo good. Try it, but only if you're open to "this isn't just ice cream". There were also some wafer cookies to the side we were invited to have with our respective dishes. Seating inside was stools at benches facing a thin window bar-- outside is nicer if you have a big group and/ or if weather is nice, but it was fine. I did stop by the restroom briefly, and it was clean, too. Overall, definitely plan to come back to this eastern-inspired ice cream shop, and I encourage others to give it a try too!

    After my tour at the Duke Lemur Center, it was recommended that I stop at Locopops before heading…read morehome. A free parking lot is available on the side of the business. There is a large backyard area if you are looking to stay a while and eat your treats. There are also many seating areas on the porch. When you arrive, the available flavors are on the chalkboard menu. I then told the employee at the counter what I wanted, and he even put them in a Ziploc baggie for me to take home. They made the drive okay, even though it took longer than usual, because a big truck decided to go 35mph on a 55mph road. I went with Mexican chocolate, lavender cream, watermelon, ginger limeade and orange mango. They were as delicious as I remembered. I also left with an item from the bakery. I enjoyed every bite of that, too. The Mexican-style popsicles are what Locopops is known for, but they also have ice cream. The locopops come in regular and mini sizes. They offer both dairy and non-dairy flavors. I didn't see the pints of ice cream until I was on my way out, or I would have picked one up too. In their retail area, they also have some non-food items like puzzles, games and cards. I think I saw some soaps and jewelry, too. So you might just find a gift for someone here, too.

    This place is a fan favorite of my grand daughters. She loves the pop flavor cookies and cream…read more This is a nice change of pace from ice cream bars or scoops. This is a must stop if near Dukes campus. Service is quick and it's easy to find. They have lots of interesting flavors. No picture as she ate her Locopop pretty quickly.
