The ice cream was delicious! I ordered the popcorn brittle and birthday cake half scoops in a waffle cup. 10/10 on the flavors and am curious to try the other ones. The reason why I deducted stars is because despite the line not being long, it took 15-20 minutes waiting in line just to order something. I only had 3 people in front of me. There was only 1 employee taking orders and scooping while the other employee kept their head down and was deep cleaning the waffle maker. The line also kept getting longer and that employee kept cleaning instead of helping the other employee. The whole atmosphere of the place just felt...awkward and sad because of the one employee handling everyone's orders all alone. It also wasn't just me. My whole group of 6 agreed it felt odd, especially for a place that's supposed to be a bit upscale.

My friend and I were craving something sweet and were pleasantly surprised to find a Jeni's nearby. I got the Brambleberry and Gooey Butter Cake in a waffle cone while my friend went with the Green Mint and Buttercream Birthday Cake in a cup. Jeni's has always been a favorite and this visit was no exception. The ice cream is thick, creamy, and packed with ooey goodness. In my opinion it is one of the best ice cream spots out there and definitely a must try if you haven't already. Service was great. The worker was super friendly and let us sample a bunch of flavors we were curious about. The shop itself is cute and on the smaller side with limited indoor seating available if needed.

This was my first time coming to Jeni's and I'm in love! There were so many unique flavors and they even make their waffles cones and bowls fresh in store! I'm always indecisive when it comes to which ice cream flavor to choose, but they provide free samples, which helped narrow it down. I got the standard size with a scoop of the toasted s'mores and the gooey butter cake. Both flavors were amazing, but I think I prefer the gooey butter cake out of the two!

My second visit to a Jeni's ice cream shop!! Their signature signage caught my attention while I was at happy hour. I rarely come to this area, so I had to stop even though I already tried it before. The staff was super inviting and friendly as soon as we walked in. They let us try a couple samples. I was a little overwhelmed due to zero capacity and didn't bother to read the flavors/descriptions. I asked the employee for samples of the 2 seasonal flavors (Bay Leaf Cheesecake and Sweet Potato Marshmallow Praline). While they both tasted like pure sugar, I chose the Bay Leaf Cheesecake. I ordered the smallest size, which was the kid's scoop in a waffle cone...although it was still pricey, Their ice cream is definitely pricey, given the area (and probably insane rent!). Would I return? If I'm in the area, I might!

Delicious ice cream that's not too sweet! There's a galore of over 2 dozen flavors to choose from and some seasonal and limited edition specialty flavors in collaboration with other businesses (there was a kulfi rose flavored ice cream). Here's the scoop of my favorite flavors: - Brambleberry Crisp - Tastes like blueberry pie! - Vegan, dairy-free Texas Sheet Cake - Light, fudgey dark chocolate ice cream with brownie bites. I didn't realize it was vegan or dairy-free, you can't taste the difference. - Tahini Oats Chocolate Cookie - Super interesting texture of oatmeal and chocolate and pairs well with the Texas Sheet Cake. Highly recommend getting a split scoop, as a single scoop is a generous portion. I just wasn't a fan of the complementary salty waffle cone piece. The service is awesome and very kindly and patiently let me try a wide variety of flavors, at least 4 or 5 samples. They were so nice that I came back the following week to get another scoop and a staff member even opened the door for my stroller. While I prefer some of the more local ice shops in the area, I'll come back to try more flavors!

Perhaps I don't really understand the hype or what attracts people to Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams. I went here on a late summer evening and there was a line right out the door. It was so bad that I think I only saw like two employees working, one taking ice cream orders and one cashing out. Really shocking that there's not enough workers to keep up with the demand. While it's true that they have unique flavors, the price point is a bit hard to defend unless you really are a die hard fan of Jeni's. I didn't want to stand there and awkwardly figure out on the spot of what I wanted so I just picked one of the features on the board. The Lemon Buttercream Cake was calling to me. Pretty much it's just Buttercream Birthday Cake and Lemon & Blueberries Parfait in a Buttercrisp Waffle Cone. I was so happy once I got it after a long hour wait. The ice cream was smooth and it had hints of both the lemon and blueberries. The birthday cake did well taste exactly like it and the waffle cone is just felt right instead of the ice cream being in a bowl. I don't know if I will visit this Jeni's again, maybe it's different at the other locations in DC?

I got their pistachio and blueberry crisp flavors. Both were absolutely great! Some places tend to make their ice cream too sweet or there is too much of an artificial flavor. Jeni's does it right. The texture of the ice cream is on the creamier and thicker side which I love. Great spot for ice cream, but a tad pricey.

I returned to try two more fall flavors: Bay Leaf and Pumpkin Seed Rye Cookie. The Rye Cookie with pumpkin seed was delish- nutty and subtly sweet, it had a nice cookie crunch that suited the creamy base. The Bay Leaf flavor, on the other hand, was very herbaceous. It's definitely for those who appreciate bold, savory notes in their dessert. The service was quick since I had the shop to myself, and the ambiance, as always, was lively and colorful.

Jenni's is one of my favorite ice cream places because the quality and flavor of their ice cream's are delicious. This is always a great treat for a hot summer day. The facility is nice and they have a variety of flavors to select from. This is probably a top runner-up for me in ice cream spots.

There's over 25 people in line on a Saturday night and there's ONE worker. Greedy owners need to employ more people. We left after standing in the same spot for 10 minutes.

Jeni's was the perfect dessert after dinner despite the cold weather and windchill. The interior was toasty and warm. There are lots of ice cream flavors to choose here, so I had a hard time. The person who scooped my ice cream was patient and encouraged me to try some samples. SINGLE (2 SCOOPS) - 6.25 You can get up to two flavors for a single, but I decided to go for WILDBERRY LAVENDER since the bright fruity and floral flavors hit the spot. A single is probably too much for me, but I was still able to kill the two scoops plus the little waffle piece they gave me (which was sweet and also savory and I liked that). Overall, I'd recommend this flavor if you want something on the lighter side, but not boring like vanilla (not that vanilla is boring, but you know what I mean). Overall, Jeni's is chill. There are some seating here so my friend and I were able to sit here for awhile while catching up and enjoying our scoops.

Absolutely love Jeni's Ice Cream! I've bought several of their ice cream at the grocery store. Always a nice stop to come to when I'm in the area. I got their Butterscotch Popcorn flavor, which is a popcorn ice cream flavor with butterscotch crunch, such a lovely combination. I also absolutely love anything coffee, so got their Coffee with Cream & Sugar as well. You definitely get that robust flavors of coffee, but still light and creamy, and not overly sweet. Love it!!!

Unique and delicious ice creams! They have a nice selection of flavors to choose from. I got gooey butter cake the first time I went here, but I thought it was too sweet when paired with the sweet waffle cone. They make the waffle cones fresh, but I opted for a waffle bowl this time. My waffle was stale - half of it was chewy and the other half was hard. It's cute for presentation purposes, not if you're planning on having a nice waffle cone pieces with your ice cream. As always, the ice cream was so creamy and high-quality. My favorite flavor was the brambleberry crisp. The flavors blended beautifully together. The texas sheet cake was also yummy and I like how it wasn't too bitter or too sweet. Wildberry lavender is unique but was my least favorite flavor today. Service was great and I will probably stop by next time I'm at the Boro!
