    Loved the homemade waffle cone and you can see them making it right there. All the flavors were so unique and rich in flavor with the creamiest texture.

    This little cute ice cream place is a must visit when you are in Nashville. I've tried several Jeni's and none of them disappointed me. Prepare to wait on the weekends as 12 south gets really busy these days but it's worth it. I live 8 minutes from 12 south so this is my favorite ice cream spot. I had Lavender and Vanila and they are so yummy. You can count on me!

    I have tried Jeni's at multiple locations and multiple times. I love the unique range of flavors that they have to offer. As soon as you enter the ice cream shop you're most often welcomed by the sweet aroma of the waffle cone which, is always in the making. I love the ambiance of the ice cream shop. The ice cream is made without eggs yet there are very creamy and light. Jeni's is my personal favorite in the city!

    Can we talk about shrinkflation? OMG! I was looking back at my review and pictures from 12/4/2019 where I ordered a one scoop of ice cream vs 3 scoops of ice cream recently last weekend 1/13/2024...comparing the ice cream to the spoons is just mind-blowing...I ordered 3 scoops to share with my son...well I had 2 bites and my son had devoured the rest and wanting more lol...needless to say, we headed to five daughters bakery lol The first time I tried this location, it was good, this time around I had sampled a few flavors, nothing stood out. I did like the coffee with cream and sugar flavor though. I believe the Jeni's hype has sailed...there's just so many other creameries that are just as good, or even better. Perhaps, its just this location, I will try a different Jeni's to compare.

    After a lovely dinner nearby, we had a bit of a sweet craving and decided to walk over to Jeni's. It wasn't too busy and we got served really quickly. The staff were very helpful and friendly and let us try a myriad of flavors. We finally picked the best 4 in a waffle bowl to share. But the Wildberry Lavender will always remain my favorite.

    when in Nashville, go get Jeni's - EVERY TIME! worth a stop on your way out of town, give you a good little sugar rush that doesn't feel heavy and draining; their ice cream always hits the spot! appreciate the chance to try the flavors, especially the new cosmo ones!!! friendly service, clean/bright ambiance, love it everytime - see you soon Jeni's

    This is a great little ice cream spot if you're craving something sweet! They have many unique flavors that you won't find anywhere else. My girlfriend and I agreed this was some of the best ice cream we've ever had... creamy, flavorful, perfectly balanced. It was AMAZING!! They have two freezers of the same flavors and have the ability to take two orders at a time. It seemed like the customers ahead of us were either confused or the employees weren't really taking charge of getting the line going. It seemed to be a very long wait while there weren't many people in front of us. If you can't find street parking right away, just park in the lots nearby and pay for parking- it'll be easier than driving in circles. Amazing ice cream!!!

    The ice cream is fantastic - so delicious! The night we went the person at the counter may have been having a tough night. Our order wasn't quite right, but it was busy and what we received was so good. They have a great selection of flavors available. The space is small, but there were tables outside as well. Definitely a great spot to stop for a sweet treat!

    Jeni's ice cream is one of the finest in the city. They always have a mix of traditional flavors…read morelike brownie batter, cookie dough, chocolate, and some whimsical ones like Hibiscus chili and Goat cheese red chili, and I like to dabble between both. Their ice creams are creamy and naturally flavored. I have tried the Brambleberry Crunch, which is one of my favorites. Their Darkest Chocolate ice cream is also delicious and decadent. But the Hibiscus Chili was the most underrated flavor. I think it deserves a lot more hype. The ice cream shop at this location can get very busy, but the service is extremely quick. The team at Jeni's is always patient with me, even when I am confused with all their range of flavors. I particularly love how the shop smells of baked waffle cones.

It's long, it's inevitable, and trying to fight it is a rookie mistake. Because when ice cream is this profoundly good, crowds happen. Step two: Don't panic. The crew behind the counter operates with the high-speed efficiency of a pit crew, yet somehow maintains the absolute patience of saints while you undergo an existential crisis deciding on flavors. My personal blueprint for success was all about contrast. I engineered a double-scoop masterpiece: a heavy, deeply decadent, unapologetic chocolate base, perfectly countered by a lighter, delicate second scoop to balance the universe. It was an elite flavor pivot. Delicious doesn't even cover it. Meanwhile, my wife absolutely devoured her fruit-forward flavors with a speed that felt slightly competitive. Total sensory overload in the best way possible. I'm giving this place a flawless five stars, mostly because I have to, but also because I am currently stalking the freezer aisle of my local Publix like a person possessed, trying to hunt down pints to replicate this high until I can get back to Nashville. Do your tastebuds a favor. Just get in line.

    Visited on a summer Thursday night. It was somewhat busy but not overly crowded. I ordered a swirl…read moresoft-serve cup with sprinkles, which came to almost $7. I did appreciate they gave me 2 extra cups so I was able to easily divide it for my 3 kids. The ice cream itself was fine, but nothing particularly memorable. Unfortunately, there was a noticeable rancid oil smell inside the shop, which detracted from the experience. There is plenty of indoor seating, but the space lacks much ambiance or character. On a nice day, the outdoor area is definitely the better option. One downside is parking. Much of the street parking in 12 South has recently been changed to permit-only, which is a huge bummer. There are a few spots directly in front of the shop, but your best bet is probably parking near Sevier Park and walking over. Overall, it was okay, but given the price and the experience, I wouldn't go out of my way to return.

While a friend was in town and on the 4th of July where the area was far less busy we made the trip over there! The seasonal ice cream was peach - which is one of my favorite summer flavors! I thought the ice cream was good, I really loved the pickle dip for the fries on the side, and I got just the plain salted fries which were also good. However, as a place that does just fries and ice cream I expected the fries to be more than just good. Maybe getting a flavor would have improved them but I think the basic fry should stand out on its own. We had arrived shortly after opening the the grease from the fryer kinda filled the space as well, which wasn't the most appetizing smell but it's hard with a mostly open kitchen. The employees were really kind and the food came out quickly! I enjoyed my experience overall, but I think I had bigger expectations for the fries in my head than in reality.
