My absolute FAV ice cream of ALL time!! Not a huge ice cream fan but when it comes to Jenis, I don't play. Flavors and texture are TO DIE FOR!!! The atmosphere is great, indoor or outdoor seating. Only sad part is there rewards program is not very good in terms of the redemption aspect. For joining you get a 5$ coupon off of orders of $75+. Kind of sucks because as one person I'm not buying 75$ worth of ice cream for myself.. read more

01-24 Saturday 10:53PM. Houston is expecting 24 degrees on Monday at 2AM. Ice cream is best when it is cold outside. It is currently 38. They closed early "due to Mother Nature." Mother Nature has nothing to do with it! I have no ice cream and I am very unhappy about it. read more

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams - Double Dough Ice Cream / Honey Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Milkiest Chocolate Ice Cream / Birthday Cake - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Houston, Texas

Located in a nice neighborhood and open late, it was a good draw when we searched for late night sweet tooth cravings... However, when we arrived 30m before closing (at 1130pm), were literally scowled at by the most disinterested employee ever. He let us know that there were limited tasting spoons even before we reached the counter, asked his counterparts loudly on how much time was left to close the shop as we were sampling and told a different customer that they removed water cups as they are close to shutting down. Left us feeling weird and discouraged as we ordered and got three different ice creams. The flavors were awesome, cheaper and fresh compared to the pints that we used to get at Whole Foods back home. 5* for the ice cream, 0* for service. Used this as a teaching moment to our kids that they should never behave this way and always treat customers well. read more

One of my favorite ice cream shops I frequently go to! Favorite flavors: brambleberry crisp (a classic you can never go wrong with), brown butter almond brittle, and texas sheet cake. Sweet and flavorful ice cream that always knocks my socks off. Stays open late on weekends with a nice patio outside to enjoy at this location. Street parking around the area is plentiful read more

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams - Texas sheet cake and sweet cream in a waffle cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Houston, Texas

It's always a pleasure stopping in at Jeni's when you're craving ice cream. Yes, it can get crowded at times, but fortunately for me, the line hasn't been longer than 5 minutes for me whenever I go. I've also been fortunate to find street parking nearby as well. The staff is friendly and they'll call you over to a certain section to expedite the line. You can sample however many flavors you want. I personally love the brambleberry crisp. I can't seem to change my favorite even after sampling all the others. Opt for the waffle cone if you love waffle cones. A little on the sweet side, but totally worth it. Seating inside is limited to a large rectangular table (possibly for 8 people?) and a few round tables that would probably seat 4-6 people each. Be prepared to walk out with your ice cream if it's busy. Many thanks to Jeni's for staying consistent. I'll see you again soon. :) read more

The ambiance of Jeni's is cool! This entire area is such a vibe! I seem to call it the " cozy vibes corner" you can walk the area while you eat your ice cream, sit outside in there bright colored cool chairs or inside where there is plenty of seating! You have plenty of choices of ice cream to pick from including vegan choices. I've had their vegan ice cream and it's still full of amazing flavors! I'm so glad they have the set hours for opening and closing it really gives you time to decide whether you want to have ice cream for lunch or a late night craving lol! I usually feel like it's a late night craving for me! The service is just ok! The workers sometimes they friendly depending on the day! I notice plenty of customers wanted to have access to the water pitcher but it was empty! The tables were never cleaned! I just personally clean mine with Clorox personal wipes. I'll definitely go back in the meantime! The parking is shared parking along the street! But definitely perfect location! My daughter said a good recommendation would be if there was a game station with cards or board games! Just a thought she stayed! read more

You walk in, and the vibe is just clean. No sticky tables here! They also have ice creams in pints to go. It seems that they change flavors but also they have the OG flavors. There are three stations with three workers with same flavors. Limited flavors but still very much good. I've got their coffee ice cream and mint chocolate chip! I think it's hard to find a place with good mint chocolate chip. The flavor has to be on point and they did! Their waffle cone was good, thick that it didn't crumble as you ate it. read more

Who doesn't love an amazing ice cream place? Jeni's flavors are always top of the line and mix well together. There always seems to be a long line however the line moves quickly. The ambiance is clean/ice cream shop vibes. This is a monthly/weekly ice cream stop in our household. read more

Jeni's ice cream has the ability to turn your day around no matter how crappy it was. All your problems are erased the minute you walk in and catch a whiff of the waffle cones being made. I have been here more times than I'd like to admit and if my addiction wasn't bad enough, I recently started ordering delivery. Prices aren't exactly cheap, but they use high quality ingredients which makes it worth it. Each time the employees are kind and willing to let you sample any flavor before you commit. There's a constant line, even late at night but they move quick. Ice cream scoops come with complimentary waffle gone pieces. You must try the 10 scoop sampler at least once in your life. It's an easy way to try multiple flavors and determine your favorite flavor. They always have a few seasonal flavors and also offer a rewards program, which keeps us ice cream addicts coming back! read more

First time here. We've been wanting to try it out. We normally do Menchie's, but decided we wanted to try this cute place out. Super cute ambiance and the variety of flavors of ice cream looked amazing. What turned me off is the lady who helped us didn't even greet us. Or asked how she could help us. She just stared me down and waited for me to say something. Then when I asked her a question she was so rude. Never again will I come back. I can't even tell you her name because she didn't have a name tag. She was the only young black woman working. Is this the new generation and their work ethic? What a joke. read more

Absolutely delicious. Service was quick, efficient and friendly. The flavors were really good. I tried about 3 and they were really good. I stuck with the toasted smores in L'Affagato and just wow! Obviously the ice cream melted quickly but it was a perfect blend of coffee and ice cream. They included a waffle chip that was really yummy! Definitely recommend. Will be coming back to try more flavors! read more

First time customer and will now have a lifetime customer. Great experience and love their products.

I've been to Jenni's before, and personally am not the biggest fan because I think it's way to sweet, but we were craving sweets, lol. We got there on a Friday night and it was packed! We did not have to wait too long to get our ice cream. I got a cup with two scoops. Ordered the texas cake and boston cream pie. It's a little pricey for ice cream, but a nice little treat. I think it's the perfect amount of ice cream too! read more

I came here for some nice refreshing ice cream after a walk on the Heights trail. Tried both the lemon blueberry and dark chocolate ice cream flavors, both of which I liked very much. The blueberry flavor was my favorite, it reminded me of a blueberry pie with added lemon flavor. The line can be long during the hot days of the summer, but I think it's worth it since they have so many unique and creative ice cream flavors to try! read more

Ambiance: Charming Ice Cream chain shop located in the Historic Heights area off 19th street, Jeni's is the perfect spot to curb your ice cream cravings! I always love to order the gooey butter cake!

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams - Gooey Butter Cake - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Houston, Texas

I really like Jeni's ice cream. It's a chain, but it's a good chain! There are a couple of odd flavors, but more often than not, the unique flavors turn out to be delicious! The service was good, the vibe of the place was cute. I just wish the tables were a bit cleaner. I've been a few times since it's close by, though - the waffle cones are just superb. There's a little touch of saltiness to them that really makes the cone stand out. Today I shared a 4-half-scoop waffle bowl and got the Gooey Butter Cake, Coffee w/ Cream & Sugar, Brown Butter Almond Brittle, & Sparkling Cherry Pie (seasonal). Jeni's fruity ice creams are so good, and the pie bits in this flavor were so nice. Highly recommend the Brambleberry Crisp also. read more

Great ambience, nice staff, and my favorite vegan ice cream flavor! The Texas Sheet Cake is the best vegan chocolate ice cream I've had and it satisfies my chocolate cravings.

BEST BY FAR! Ice cream And I have had ice cream in New York, Vegas even Rome and definitely this was THE MOST DELICIOUS ice cream. !! When you walk in there is this amazing smell of waffles and vanilla and it's irresistible! The staff is very friendly and since it was my first time, I asked the nice girl to share with me what were the best sellers, she gave me 3 choices and a sample of each, and OH MY! Two out of those 3 were heavenly delicious!!! The third one of course was good, but the first two with me immediately. The flavors were: Brown Butter Almond Brittle and Brambleberry Crips . read more

Parking here in the evening is absolutely horrendous, and so be prepared to wait! However, walking in, it is clear why it is so packed. You'll see families, couples, or friends just wanting a sweet treat and I love the energy/vibe that comes from that! The girls who served me were absolute sweethearts and they were very kind with ensuring we had enough samples to make an educated choice for what scoop we wanted! The half scoops are very generous and the flavor combos they provided are so fun with some classics. The butter cake is something I wouldn't have expected to like, but surprisingly it was very yummy. However, my absolute favorite is always going to be their coffee flavor. It is so good that I actually brought a pint home! read more

Ice cream was delicious. There's a creamery back in Michigan that makes their own flavors as well and Jeni's reminded me of it. Minus one star for the service and the cleanliness- the tables had not been wiped in awhile and there was trash on one of them. We also had to wait in line for over a half hour and it was because they didn't have enough workers to assist customers. If they had had more people I think the line would have gone a lot faster. I do like that they serve little triangles of waffle cone with the flight- it's a nice touch that elevates the experience. All the flavors we tried were amazing for the most part. A couple of my favorites were the wildberry lavender and salted peanut butter with chocolate flecks, and the gooey butter cake. read more

Jeni's is hands down the best ice cream, with the best flavor, the cleanest ice cream shop with a friendly staff! I wish you had shops everywhere. If you are searching for true ice cream with flavor and quality ingredients, search no more! Jeni's is here for you!! Brown butter almond brittle was superb. Buttery, rich, chock full of taste, flavor and texture. I also tried the peanut butter with chocolate flecks; hell yes any hour of the day! Great balance of flavor, salty, sweet with the wonderful flecks of chocolate that make it perfection. I highly recommend this ice cream shop. Everything is 10/10. Wish I lived closer to try every flavor! The 'Sampler' is a 10 scoop tray of their flavors. Full size scoops! How fun is that?! All flavors were consumed with a great big smile and a full tummy with memories to last. Cute area awaits patrons to sit beside the shop on a peaceful street. Highly recommend this ice cream shop!!! read more

Jen I'd never disappoints! I always go with the gooey butter cake and then another fun flavor. Their chocolate with peanut butter is great, you can always count on them having incredible flavors and their AMAZING handmade waffle cones! Their waffle cones are truly unique and I can't find anywhere with better ones than Jeni's. They're super kind and pretty quick- I appreciate being able to try samples. If it's your birthday, be sure to bring some form of identification cause you can get free Jeni's ;) There's always a line, of course for great ice cream, and seating is limited inside but you can count on there being some outside benches across the streets and this strip to sit down and enjoy some ice cream. Pretty light and fun ambiance, would highly recommend! read more

Usually, I have a pleasant experience at Jeni's, which is why I invited my family to try it for the first time. However, yesterday I had a bad experience. My family was excited about trying new flavors and picking out their ice cream, but when we requested it samples the guys behind the counter almost acted as if they were bothered by it. They insisted they could take our order when we were ready (even though we were clearly still figuring it out). I checked out and still tipped, no thank you from whoever was checking me out, looked annoyed the whole time. read more

I'm just waiting for Jeni's to open in New York! Jeni's is my favorite ice cream of all time. I love it more than any other ice cream I've tried in my life. There's something about it - it's super dense and firm, and as it melts it becomes more milky than frothy (soft, frothy ice cream feels ick to me). My all time favorite ice cream EVER is the seasonal white chocolate peppermint. Truly perfect pink peppermint ice cream that is just the best thing I've ever eaten. My second favorite Jeni's flavor is blackout chocolate cake. My biggest gripe with this location is that they only serve the "Texas sheet cake" which is basically just a less delicious, dairy free version of the blackout. Visit in December while they still have the white chocolate peppermint flavor! read more

Three words - gooey butter cake! This was my husband and I's favorite flavor and our first time trying Jeni's ice cream. They definitely are innovative when it comes the flavors - very unique and interesting combos. Some flavors were a bit too interesting for me but the gooey butter cake really did the trick! The lavender blueberry and the brambleberry crisp flavors are also good! read more

Came here on new year's for dessert with some friends. I had no idea this was a chain! It's been on my list to try for a minute (or two). When you enter, you're welcomed with the scent of their homemade waffles. The lines may be long (and got even longer after we got there!), but they move quickly. Workers are friendly, efficient, and patient. After trying a few samples, I ended up getting a split scoop of brown butter almond brittle and dark chocolate in a cup. I love that they include a small piece of the waffle! The dark chocolate was decadent and rich. The almond brittle was full of texture - that crunch really added to the flavor for me. The ice cream is pretty pricey compared to other shops, but it's definitely reflected in the quality and the service they provide. read more

Saw a lot of hype for Jeni's so I gave it a go. Highkey regret it as it didn't feel worth to spend so much on ice cream to get a smaller portion than other locations. Why skimp on the scoop? Sure, the atmosphere is nice, the smell of the waffle cone is tasty and the metal sampling spoons are acknowledged. But it's just not enough to justify the price. I've been to other ice cream locations, some that make it fresh, and they are more generous for a lower price. Maybe I'm spoiled by that and not of this location's tax bracket, so. 2 small scoops, in a waffle bowl, for over $8. The flavors I got were delicious, I've forgotten what I've ordered but I think they have solid flavors in general. The small scoops are small. Too small for the price. read more
