    Employees are very friendly and generous with samples! Try the 'double dough'!
    Eric S.

    A DISH BEST SERVED COLD It's not revenge I've got on my mind.....it's the fabulous flavors at Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams. Downtown Naperville has recently become pretty trendy, with a Molly's Cupcakery, Aloha Poke, and a Gordon Ramsey restaurant in the area. Jeni's has a storefront on Main St and at least a dozen locations across the Chicagoland area, including 2 in the western suburbs (only two? c'mon!) When I first learned about Jeni's from a Yelp event, I was grateful for the one-off freebie but saw no need to buy anything further, as we already had a surplus of frozen confections at home. This time around, our stock had run low, so I became an actual customer instead of just a mooch. A pint of their ice cream is--you ready for this?--twelve bucks. I hesitated to tell my wife how much it was, but she pressed, and when I finally told her she let out an audible gasp. "Well, it tasted like $12 ice cream!" Good honey, I'm glad. Enjoy the subtle taste, buttery texture and magnificent purple coloring of the Wildberry Lavender, you 100% deserve it. I recommend the 'signature' (three 1/2 scoops for $7.25) in a buttercrisp waffle bowl for an extra $1.50. A 'standard' is 2 scoops ($6.50) and a 'flight' is a whopping 10 scoops ($21+) which I assume comes in a bucket with a small shovel. Staff are super friendly and they're generous with samples. Their seasonal choices are great, like sparkling cherry pie and Tahini oat cookie. I'm a big fan of the "double dough", a cookie dough flavor with lumps of tasty cookie dough. Their "darkest chocolate" is the best chocolate ice cream I've ever tried, bar none. Sumptuous. I don't think it's fair to compare this small batch operation to Ben & Jerry's ($6/pint) or Häagen-Dazs, especially considering the outstanding quality, variety, and eclectic flavor combinations. Jeni's is in a league of their/her own! * TL;DR * Initially, I wasn't so sure that downtown Naper-thrill needed another ice cream place (especially with a Red Mango, Coldstone, and Kilwins SO close by), but as it turns out, yes, it does. Drake must've been thinking of Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams when he wrote "Best I Ever Had". 'Cause this sh*t is the best I ever had (ayy), best I ever had (ayy), best I ever had...... Oberweis who? Jeni's is the bomb dot com.

    Such a cute shop in downtown Naperville. We decided to make a family trip out of this event. We went late afternoon - it ended up being a good time, as it wasn't too crowded but they still seem to get a lot of customers. The employees were super helpful and offered our kids samples to try and gave us some recommendations. We went with the honey vanilla, gooey butter cake and brambleberry. All SUCH GOOD PICKS!! The brambleberry tasted like pie and ice cream, vanilla was very creamy and the butter cake had small pieces of cake in it. Great place to stop by when strolling around downtown naperville. Something to note - there isn't seating inside due to the size of the shop, so plan to eat your ice cream while walking or along the river :) We had such a good experience and plan to go back there again in the next few weeks!

    literally best ice cream in naperville. jeni's definitely lives up to the hype. i love that when you get a bowl they still give you a waffle cone piece. so yummy but there's always a line!!

    3 -half scoops of ice cream.

    Overall (A-) So both me and my wife went - and she liked it a lot while I thought it was just pretty good. I personally like Kilwins more but she liked the different flavors they offered. It is always fairly crowded and it may not just appeal to me - but it may appeal to others. It is always packed in the summer months. Like line out the door. The one downside is that there is no interior or exterior seating. But for downtown Naperville it is fine. Pics below.

    Really delicious fresh icecream! Try the homemade waffle cone! Always better if you can enjoy with a friend or two!:D

    It's no surprise that Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams reigns high among us ice cream connoisseurs here in the Burbs - and this location is A1! The staff here is such a delight; the manager was so friendly and their staff is very well informed. Also, can we talk about the cleanliness?! This Jeni's is spotless, and you can smell the frozen freshness walking in. Parking is scarce (as is for most businesses in downtown Naperville), but I was able to quickly find a parking spot a 1-minute walk away in a small parking lot. Gooey butter cake - 10/10, I LOVE this flavor so much. I'm usually a chocolatey gal, so the fact that this flavor is my fav Jeni's flavor speaks volume. It's gooey, chunky, delicious - what more can you ask for?! Brown butter almond brittle - 9/10, crispy meets creamy with this flavor. I really think this flavor is delectable, I just love other flavors more, but would definitely get this again. Blackout chocolate cake - 10/10, this is a limited flavor, and boy was I happy I got it. This was THE creamiest ice cream I've ever had, I could not stop eating this flavor. I will 100% be back. Best ice cream in the Burbs!

    Strawberry Buttermilk & Brown Butter Almond Brittle

    Our dessert options after dinner were Jeni's or froyo and Jeni's was the obvious choice. Overall, 3.5/5 for this location. For the standard size (up to two different flavors) it was still 6.50-7.00 for two very small scoops of ice cream. I've gotten more ice cream at other Jeni's locations before. Anyway, I got the STRAWBERRY BUTTERMILK (limited edition and is kind of an in between of regular strawberry ice cream and strawberry cheese cake) and the BROWN BUTTER ALMOND BRITTLE (this one was sweeter with crispy crunches). Solid mix of flavors and enjoyable to have together.

    It was my first time trying Jeni's and it was a pleasant surprise! So many amazing flavors to choose from but I got the dairy free cold brew, wildberry lavender and blackout chocolate cake to share with the hubs. I've never had dairy free ice cream and thought, why not give it a try. I absolutely loved it. I know regular ice cream is supposed to be creamy and smooth but I love the dairy free one even more! It was light, refreshing and full of cold brew coffee flavor. I think I might start getting dairy free ice cream after this wonderful experience. I've taken away 1 star because 1.) The website said they open at noon but when we got there, the door said 2pm and they were close at noon. So we had to stop by somewhere else to have lunch first. And after getting ice cream, we almost missed picking up my youngest so that stressed me out a little with the wrong time since we live 45 mins away. 2.) There is no place to sit to eat so we ate it in the car which was not a big deal but the hours really messed us up a little. So I hope they fix that soon.

    Located in downtown Naperville near the Riverwalk. Jeni's Ice Cream offer unique flavors as well as the standards with a smooth texture and butter cream body. Flavors are inspired by pop culture and curiosities. You are offered a sample of any flavor you wish. I ordered the 3 half scoop size in a waffle bowl. I had to wait a short time as they ran out of waffle bowls. I had the Coffee with cream and sugar which had a bold coffee taste. Biscuits with the Boss created from the Ted Lasso show . It had shortbread cookies in a buttery sweat cream. It was good but not my favorite. The best flavor I had in my opinion was Gooey Butter cake which was cream cheese ice cream with crumbles of vanilla cake and swirls of caramel butterscotch sauce. Delicious! Gluten free and dairy free flavors are available. Ok They only have a small counter that you have stand at if you want to eat inside. Tables and chairs would be nice but they just don't have the room. Hopefully they will have outdoor tables when the weather warms up. I ended up eating in my car as I didn't want to walk around downtown Naperville in 30 degree weather. Street parking is available but expect to drive around a bit before you find a spot Fun place to try unique flavors and delicious ice cream.

    Wildberry Lavender, Salty Caramel, and Double Dough
    Brigid C.

    So tasty!! I had the wild berry lavender ice cream at my cousin's recommendation and was pleasantly surprised. I wasn't overwhelmed by a perfume-y floral taste or a sugary sweetness either, the flavor was very subtle and delicious. It ended up being $15 for the two of us to get ice cream, but it's totally worth it for special occasions like today. I will warn that it's pretty small in there and there wasn't anywhere to sit, but we ended up enjoying our ice cream outside since the weather was so nice.

    We dropped into this bright new place for a post-dinner dessert. As dinner was only about 50' away, it was really convenient! There aren't any Jeni's located conveniently to us in Park Ridge, so this was a nice opportunity and only the second time for me at a Jeni's (the other was at their Southport Ave location a long time ago). Wife got a 2 flavor cone with wildberry lavender and cold brew with coconut cream. I also got a 2 flavor cone with wildberry lavender and darkest chocolate, and each cone was $6.25. As expected, it was a delectable treat of rich, premium ice cream. Is it the best? I can't say. All I can say is it's right up there in my mind with Graeter's, Capannari's, and Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream. Call it a 4 way tie lol. They do have a lot of flavors here though. Also distinctive is that samples are provided with a stainless steel versus plastic or wood spoon and customers like this I was told. I just thought of the dishwasher load myself. Note that there are no seats in here, so it's either stand and enjoy alongside a short bar they have, or carry it out. Anis was our friendly attendant and only on his third shift here. He did a mighty fine job and I hope the boss is reading. As with many ice cream shops, the crowd can come and go rather quickly, and we caught a nice quiet moment before a swarm hit. Fun stop!

    Best ice cream in town! Had a really great experience at Jeni's in Downtown Naperville. The staff here is incredibly friendly and helpful, offering us numerous samples and guidance in selecting flavors. I got the classic half-and-half scoop in a waffle cup, with the Brambleberry Crisp and Vanilla Bean. While all their flavors are super good, this combo was perfect. Located in the heart of Downtown Naperville, Jeni's can get quite busy but the service here was quick and efficient. Can't wait to return to check out more of their flavors!

    Was in the area earlier and stopped by for a quick snack and OMG the flavors are soo delicious!!! I got a waffle bowl with 3 scoops - Brambleberry crisp, Buttercream Birthday Cake and Honey Vanilla Bean. Everything tasted extremely fresh!! It's been hours later and honestly I'm thinking about going back just for the Brambleberry crisp LOL The staff was very helpful and efficient. There aren't any places to sit, but there's a little ledge where you can eat your ice cream on which was enough for me! Will definitely be back! 10/10

Their minds were blown when I told them they could have both... ... so thank you for having the mini size! Great for kiddos and adults. It's $5.75 and the perfect serving if you don't feel like eating your day's worth of calories in sugar and more sugar. The cookie jar ice cream flavor was right up my girls' alley, with Mother's frosted animal cookies, chocolate chips, and other cookies mixed into the base. Note there's like 16 flavors of ice cream and 8 kinds of cookie dough, so plenty to choose from and in whatever combo you want, one or the other, both, an ice cream cookie sandwich or cookie dough sandwich, just the cookies... I loved the cappuccino chip ice cream and was torn between fudge brownie cookie dough and chocolate chip cookie dough but went with the CCCD. Flavors were spot on, and the cookie dough has that granular sugar texture. Fun fact: the cookie dough is egg free, so totally safe to eat. More fun facts: - there's a wall of candy when you walk in, in case you need more sugar in your life. - walk past the register to the back for ample seating and ARCADE GAMES! This is totally new since my last visit. We enjoyed pinball, Pac-Man, and a couple disappointing rounds of the claw machine. Not my 5yo over here who cried dramatically when she didn't win a stuffy. - open til 11pm or midnight, depending on the night! So fun! If it's the stuff your dreams are made of, you can go out and do something about it! The staff is friendly and as sweet as the products!

There are dairy-free, gluten-free, and both dairy- and gluten-free options available. My significant other doesn't have any restrictions, so had a very wide choice. On the other hand, there was only one dairy- and gluten-free option on their menu the day we were there - a berry and lemonade sorbet. With no other option available, I did try it and it was good. (They had three different options we could get in pints, but we didn't have a freezer bag to carry it home in.) Jeni's was crowded both times we were there, and I'm sure it has to do with the caliber of their ice cream and wide variety of choices. I didn't count but will guess there were over 30 flavors available for cups or cones. And, their 1/2 scoops are the size of normal scoops. The smallest size available in a cup is two 1/2 scoops. And the difference in price between the sizes is very small. If you have enough of an appetite, I would opt for the larger sizes. The service was great. The location's size is on the small side, we easily found seats. The store is bright and open, and quite comfortable. It was fun and delicious.
