    Rainbow buttermilk & Wildberry Lavender
    Sandra S.

    Cute location with plenty of seating. They also have a mini outdoor space. Friendly service - employee helped me find my way to Rainbow which ended up being my favorite flavor that they had on the menu item right now. Personal preference, but I wished they had more tart and/or diverse flavors.

    big fan of jeni's, i get these at whole foods when i can! TEXAS SHEET CAKE CHOC is so rich, u can taste the quality + the brownie bits. nothing hits like the first bite. the salted peanut is why i got into peanut ice creams. two scoops is the smallest size + the buttery waffle piece is included YUMM it was hot so i appreciated the water provided for customers inside. quiet chatty ambience. service from employees was PHENOMENAL and they matched the jolly atmosphere from the outside.

    This is the 2nd Jeni's location I've tried and it was just as good as the first. There's a small parking lot attached to the shop so if there are no spots available you'll have to try and find some street parking near by. The employees were friendly and had no problem letting patrons sample ass many flavors as they needed. I decided to go with 2 half scoops of each of the limited time offers which was a dark chocolate cake and wedding cake. Both flavors were delicious. I love when ice creams have bits of cake throughout. The wedding cake also had a berry swirl that was very fresh tasting. It's a family friendly atmosphere with plenty of families with young children coming in and out. A great option for a little day or night out with family or friends.

    SO GOOD!! I'm obsessed with ice cream and this place didn't disappoint!! The flavors were super unique and very delicious. Loved all the branding and the overall decor of the place too. Super bright cute colors and a welcoming atmosphere. I got the birthday cake and gooey butter cake. Sooooo good and not TOO sweet. Like I didn't feel like I needed a glass of water to wash it down after. The waffle bowl or cone is a MUST. I love how it's slightly salty and very thin but doenst get soggy quick! Overall if you have one in your area it's a must try! And get some pints to go!

    What is a great way to end the night??...desserts. As many would say, "save the best for last!!" That can be true in some instances. Lol, but golly this place is so cute. The other best thing about Jeni's is that it opens past midnight right in the center of Montross area. They have some serious good, rich, creamy and decadent ice cream! I chose 2 of the seasonal flavors and it was delish. Come check them out if you have a sweet or savory palate! Chow Chow Time!!

    Idk what it is about that Gooey Butter Cake ice cream, but gosh darn it I'm addicted. Jeni..you have some explaining to do!!! No, but seriously..I'm hooked. Of course I've tried other flavors, but I always come back to this one. When you go there, if you can't decide what flavor you'd like to get, they don't mind letting you try samples. At least it doesn't seem like they do. The employees are nice and all, but don't over do it! The shop is decorated nicely, with plenty of places to sit and enjoy your ice cream. They even have these chair swings outside if you'd rather sit out there. Next time you're walking the strip on Montrose, make this spot a stop on your list. Just trust me on this one!

    Great scooper, super friendly and a ton of flavors to sample and order. They do creative combo ideas that I highly recommend. They also sell an extensive variety of pints to go. Fun porch outside.

    It was my first time at Jeni's and I really enjoyed the experience! We stopped in one evening after dinner and were greeted right away. I tried a few different flavors but ended up with two scoops, one being salted peanut butter with chocolate flecks and gooey butter cake. My friend had two scoops of lemon crinkle which is one of the splendid holiday collection flavors. Overall, the ice cream was splendid! Pun intended there. I'll be returning soon. The ambiance is that of an ice cream shop and the customer service was great.

    Love coming here to and trying all the flavors but today I got the butter cake and wildberry lavender. The lavender was a little overwhelming but the combo was very tasty. The staff was really nice and even with a longer line I didn't feel rushed to choose. It was raining so it was packed inside but during any other day definitely enjoy the swing chairs.

    Bramble berry crisp, rainbow sherbet, and coffee
    Laura L.

    I always forget how good Jeni's ice cream is, and each time I come back I'm always amazed of how good and unique their flavors are! My friend and I came here for a sweet treat, and Jeni's ice cream will never disappoint that craving. When you walk in, you're instantly met with a smell of fresh waffle cones that is so inviting and sweet. When ordering, the workers are very friendly and will always offer you to try samples of any flavors you want. They are so patient and never make you feel rushed to order. There's a large selection of flavors to choose from with all of them being unique and interesting. They also have their fall and holiday flavors in, and each of them sound delicious. My friend and I ordered the rainbow sherbet, bramble berry crisp, and coffee. My favorite was the sherbet, and it was perfectly fruity, sweet, and tangy and a great palette cleanser to the other rich flavors. We ate our ice creams at the outdoor seating to enjoy the weather, and there a lot of seats and lighting! The only downside of this location is the parking, as it is very limited and sometimes difficult to find when it can get pretty busy in the night. But overall, this place never disappoints!

    Another great experiencr at Jeni's! We opted for the brambleberry crisp, rainbow, and coffee and the flavors were fantastic! They are also currently doing limited fall flavors that seemed very interesting but I like to stick to the tried and true. Service is wonderful with no pressure to rush and plenty of time for sampling which I love because I am very picky with my ice cream. The ice cream here is definitely a bit pricey than local shops near by ($17 for 2 standard cups) but a nice treat out every once in a while! Parking is always a pain here so be prepared to wait or have to opt for parking elsewhere! Usually we sit inside but because of the cooler weather, we sat in the outdoor tables which was refreshing to enjoy!

    Coco's is located in Midtown downtown Houston. Consequently, Yelpers should not be surprised the…read moreparking is mostly in paid lots, just like in every major city in the US--Cocos does not deserve to lose a star for this as in some reviews that brought down their average. You may order online, in shop through a tablet, or with a person at the register. We used the register because we did not see the tablet and did not want to order ahead online. The ladies who helped us on our visit were very nice. You get a number and they call it when your made to order food is ready. We did not have to wait long. There was medium to low noisy ambiance. It was deserted when we arrived, but they have relatively loud background music. While we were eating it got pretty crowded. Mostly a lot of young people in the middle of the day on a Monday. The inside is small, seating both inside and outside are limited and close together. One lady was studying with her laptop, but there are no plugs. The breakfast sandwich is customizable. We got it on a croissant and with sausage. The eggs had a unique texture and the sandwich a unique flavor that we could not place, but both were very tasty. We also wanted a crepe, but we split the sandwich and it was sufficient. We also got a small mocha and a decaf, both were ok to good. We would definitely come back again and recommend that you give them a try for a crepe or sandwich. It is sad that a few Yelpers brought down their average to 3.8 stars due to petty and unjustified complaints such as having to pay for parking downtown. Other complaints are not the business' fault such as periodic homelessness--it is a downtown area in the US, other cities have far worse homelessness than Midtown Houston and we saw none on this visit. Additionally, complaints about takeout orders are mostly petty. Takeout is never as good as eating at the restaurant and so customers should adjust their expectations rather than dock the business stars. Nearly every recent Yelp review for this who ate at the restaurant gave 4-5 stars for food quality and customer service. Like most of the restaurants in this area it is a pretentious yuppy style place with specialized food. Although not usually our type of place (we like down to earth hole in the wall places with good food or taco truck type restaurants), Coco's is a solid 4 star restaurant for the type of place they are and they offered a 5 star experience on our visit. Again, recommend you give them a try if you are in the mood for crepes or sandwiches.

    New to the area and this was my first experience!! Food was delicious and service was great…read more Seating both inside and out but keep in mind it's a small environment. I had the smoked salmon panini and the peach lemonade both so good! I can't wait to go back and try the crepes
