    Buttercream Birthday Cake Ice Cream Pint and Peaches
    Amanjot K.

    The ice cream was sooooo good! We got a peaches one they had for a limited edition and it was delicious! We were able to try a few digger t flavors which really helped us. There's a few seats available indoors or you can find seating outdoors nearby.

    My favorite ice cream shop has done it again. June 2026 and they have a matchapolitan ice cream that is phenomenal. 10/10. It literally tastes like you're eating a high quality iced matcha latte with strawberry jam. Also, their gooey butter cake paired with is perfection. I have tried practically all their flavors and you truly can't go wrong with any of em.

    I am SHOCKED with how good this ice cream was. It actually filled me up without making me nauseous like most sweets do on an empty stomach. The service was also amazing, they let me try a bunch of sample which I really appreciate. The place was very cute almost felt like a beach spot! Highly recommend Jeni's just wow wow wow!

    Lots of flavors to choose from and it's really good! Your able to sample all or some of the flavors. I sampled a few and of course I stuck with my basic mint chocolate chip and it's really clean. Nice chunks of the chocolate chips. That buttery waffle cone is amazing, really airy and buttery! Super yummy. Service was great and friendly. They also sell pint of any of their flavors to take home to enjoy.

    I had a wonderful comical night. Saw a show at the lodge room and saw the tropical bloom sign on the way in outside jenis and decided to make it happen after. Lotta people inside, I was starting to feel like Larry David w the samples but I digress. The theme of my night has been everything happens for a reason. Maleah helped me and she's an absolute GEM! There was a seemingly odd combo on the board called Here comes the sun. Tropical bloom, banana cream pudding and bramble berry in a waffle bowl. I asked about the combo and she said she thought it was strange but it does work. I said screw it let's try it. The nights been wild already! In the meantime it slowed down and we started chatting. I told her about my wild night and she told me about a cool place to go walk, she cracked up about the devotion I have to my cat having his own Erewhon rotisserie chicken that no one's allowed to eat. She was such a lovely spirit I totally enjoyed my experience, this ice cream combo is fire and I'm very clearly the universe's favorite! Thank you Maleah. You were the cherry on a night I'll never forget! You deserve your flowers!!!

    Gotta love Jeni's! Deff a large chain at this point, but their quality remains consistent. This location was staffed by a bunch of lovely young people (god I sound old lol) but they did their job really well. Lots of samples and I settled on the cupcake and gooey butter? I can't fully remember, but that home made waffle cone is always a smash hit. Would definitely repeat if in area again.

    Really good ice cream in a fun part of town. On one of the main streets in Highland Park, it is in the middle of the hubbub good for walking around and exploring. The ice cream flavors are all so unique and the quality of the ice cream is top tier. Definitely give the Earl Grey Creme Brûlée a try. Will definitely be back! Parking isn't the easiest though so keep that in mind

    My boyfriend and I were in the area for dinner and Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream was one of the dessert options. We decided to check it out since it was one of the more unique options. There is a public lot right behind the ice cream shop that made parking easy for a busy area. There was also some street parking available. Jeni's ice cream is meant to be combined with their other flavors so they intentionally sell by half scoops so you can combine. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. They told us about their popular flavors, seasonal flavors, and offered us samples. We decided to go with their Standard ($7.75) which comes with 2 half scoops with the added Waffle Bowl ($1.75). My boyfriend picked the lemon bar and I picked the brown butter almond brittle, which complimented each other very well. The waffle bowl was a little stale and not as crispy as I would have liked but the flavors were still good. I really like that they have unique flavors and the textures were great. Wish they had more seating cause there was only like 3 tables inside and no tables outside. Ice cream is good to enjoy quickly before it melts. Would definitely revisit when I'm in the area to try more of their delicious flavors.

    I've heard so many good things about Jeni's, but I haven't actually gotten to try it out until recently. People have always compared Jeni's to Salt and Straw, with more Jeni's opening up in the LA area. My friends and I were nearby eating and wanted something sweet to end the night. This location seemed to have opened up recently. This location is in LA/Highland Park - there's several small free parking lots but these fill up quickly. Love the interior of the store - brightly lit, welcoming, several chairs for customers but overall the store is quite small. I was able to try a few flavors but ultimately went with birthday cake and sherbet. They added a waffle cone slice on top, which was amazing. Flavors were light but creamy at the same time. Loved how much flavor was packed in each bite! I'm no ice cream fan, but I really enjoyed my dessert from here. Workers were quick to get through the line. Not the most friendly, but they probably were tired from a long day. tl;dr - must give Jeni's a try if you're into ice cream!! Or even if you aren't. They have a bunch of unique flavors that really shine.

    Pricey but good. We were in the area for a bit so a friend recommended this place. Let me break down the review: Parking: Kinda sucks on the weekend, tbh. We had to park where Grocery Outlet was and walk a distance. So, keep that in mind. Usually there is parking behind the shop, but it gets hella crowded, very quickly. Shop: It's really small so it's not big crowd friendly. You can find a little seating inside, but it's really for one or two people in your party. Take the yums and jet. Flavors: Crazy flavors but they work. I got the brambleberry crisp and the sweet potato marshmallow. They work amazing together and they're pretty darn good separately. I highly recommend them. Overall: It's a great splurge for once in a while. It did cost almost $25 for two (me and my son, including tip). So it's not an everyday (or even every week) thing, but if you want something different and feel like splurging, this is the place you need to go.

    I found myself in Highland Park for a night out on Saturday. I love that this place is open late. My friends and I decided to get a sweet treat after leaving the bar. It is a clean and spacious location, we tried a few samples, and I ended up getting the goose tracks and the peanut butter flavor. Both were very yummy - but the goose tracks were my ultimate fav! They had lots of variety to choose from, helpful staff, clean restrooms, and ample seating. Cute place overall!

    Bramble Berry & I forgot the other  but both were yummyyyy

The place is super small and no line, but the flavors were plentiful. I forget what they do, but you can get a combo of flavors in a single scoop.

    So an absolute eternity ago, like a decade ago, there was a Paradis in Belmont Shore in Long Beach…read more(which felt like almost as much of a trek from downtown Long Beach as DTLA is, but by bike rather than by train, so we felt a bit more of an excuse to go there and eat ice cream.) Then, an eternity ago, it closed and we were sad. Then Long Beach Creamery opened and we weren't that sad for that long, but still, I absolutely still thought about them every once in a while, sad that they'd left. Then, a much closer eternity ago (about a year ago - I've been super burned-out and not finishing my reviews), I was on my way from an event back to the blue line and walked by and noticed that they had, in fact, just moved. So obviously we had to get some. Verdict - yes, it absolutely was as good as I remembered. I wouldn't go back to DTLA just for ice cream, Long Beach Creamery being walking distance and wonderful, but I would absolutely stop here if I were back in DTLA and wanted ice cream. It's a bit pricey, but all craft ice cream is going to be, and it is definitely craft. And you can save a lot by getting a 3-scoop, which is very much enough to share for two people, if not slightly too much.

My boyfriend tried the vanilla soft serve with Nutella filled Aboong. The warm fish against the cold ice cream created a great mix of textures and flavours, but once the fish is gone the ice cream itself is just ok. The taiyaki, in my humble opinion, are the winners. The Oreo taiyaki was absolutely delicious! It came out super fresh, they filled both the body AND tail with Oreo so every bite had a great ratio of chewy fish and filling. This location always fills their Taiyaki evenly which I appreciate, it's much better than the ones I've tried in Sawtelle. It's really affordable too, so definitely come try it.

The restaurant is small and tables are situated as best they can with one blocking the employee only door. The manager worker, pushing a cart told me that I was blocking this way and he needed to get him to the entrance. I proceeded to get up and allow him to move the chair where he wanted to. He told me well. I'm gonna be coming back back-and-forth as if to say don't sit back down. Another customer witnessing the exchange move the chair so that he could get in and out. When he came back out, he points to the chair and say you can sit down now. Customer service needs everything to me to include management having a responsibility to the customer that support their business. I just feel that if I were Asian, he wouldn't have addressed him in that way.

Thank goodness I did, because the cashier came up to my table about 10 minutes later and handed me a little bag of fresh-ground matcha. She took a second to explain to me how to store it and keep it fresh, and I just really appreciated the extra bit of customer service, even if it's something they're maybe expected to do.

They have so many locations and only wish they had more. The closest to me is about 20mins away but it's worth the drive every time. I love this location especially. Always such friendly staff and never have to wait in a long line. Basically, if you're a newbie, you go in and ALWAYS as for the "seasonal flavors" for tasting. They give you tasters on silver spoons and you drop it down this hole when you're done. It's literally their culture to give you a taste of everything on their seasonal menu so don't skip out on this experience. It's the best way to try their ice cream. FUN FACT: they also have 1-2 flavors that are considered "last chance" flavors which means they are about to run out so get it before it's gone. Each month I go in to try another tasty flavor and it never disappoints but I am sometimes that girl who tries the new stuff but ends up getting her usual order (chocolate brownie) and am always happy. Just the smell of sugar cone alone when you walk in gets you hooked. The atmosphere is just so welcoming. Don't be intimidated by the many flavors to choose from because there are a lot. I like to get their double scoop in a waffle cone, but they also have awesome split scoop options for those more adventurous and want to try multiple flavors in one scoop. Saves you for when you're keeping your sugar levels down. There are usually always places to sit inside or outside so you can enjoy your goodies right away.
