A fun spot to grab some ice cream - I finally got to try the Bridgerton specials. Really liked the Queen Charlotte Raspberry Sponge Cake! I tried the Earl Grey as well and didn't like it as much as I am not a fan of earl grey tea though the flavor wasn't overpowering. If you like earl grey, definitely still give it a try! I also had the birthday cake flavor which was great, as expected. The interior of the shop is cute and there is a chalkboard you can write or doodle on. Service was quick. Great dessert spot! read more

I have tried many a local ice cream place in Fishtown and NoLibs and Jeni's still takes the cake as my favorite. I love that they have a pretty solid list of staple flavors and then a nice rotation of seasonal ones. I do often feel like there isn't enough staff present to assist the amount of people that are waiting in line (I swear, every time I visit there is literally only one person working) and it just seems slightly odd (but overall not a deterrent). I also would like to note that their rewards promo texts aren't super annoying, they only ever text you about specials or new flavors which is nice. I love getting rewards, but I hate being constantly texted about nonsense (not the case here!) read more

I love stopping by here. The space is always clean and everyone is always friendly. I do wish they offered more vegan options as there's usually two or so offered and they do not rotate in flavors as often. An insulated mini pint holder would also be awesome! read more

My friend and I came here for an afternoon pick me up. I ordered the berry sundae special they had that day. It was very good, and the person who helped us was pretty friendly. The location has some seating in the front to enjoy your ice cream. Parking can be difficult here too as it's mostly street parking, but worth checking out. read more

Jenis is such a fun place to get ice cream! The servers encourage you to try different flavors. They're very welcoming and friendly. The ice cream is super good! The basic flavors are available along with some unique ones. The darkest chocolate is one of my favs. Seasonal flavors are added several times a year. The best part is trying the new flavors. Soda is also available The space is bright with a big front window. The window has a counter with seating for a street view. There is also table seating. Merchandise is also available. read more

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams - Standard with 3 scoops - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Recently had the chance to stop by and try some scoops for a Yelp event. I got a scoop each of Burnt Orange Dreamsicle, Tahini Oat Chocolate Cookie, and the Double Dough in a waffle bowl. Their waffle bowls are on the savory side and I actually like that because they complement the sweetness of the ice cream so well. Burnt Orange Dreamsicle was tangy and creamy, and tasted just like orange wafers. Tahini Oat Chocolate Cookie had a heft to it and the addition of soft cookies made it taste more like a dessert to me. I was pretty sure that the Burnt Orange Dreamsicle would be my favorite but boy was I wrong! It was actually the caramel flavor from the brown sugar of the Double Dough that blew me away. The best thing about Jeni's is their free water dispenser. I have personally not seen it anywhere else. Like how genius is that because I am always super thirsty after having anything sweet. As usual staff was super welcoming and polite. read more

When Jeni's came to the neighborhood I heard tons of people raving about it, so I gave it a try. The first time I tried the flavors I was pretty happy about it. I was really intrigued by the butter cake flavor which was pretty good. The moment I walked in, I can smell the waffle cones being made. I also appreciate the clearly labeled allergy details. My little one who is an ice cream fan thoroughly enjoys the flavors she's picked. While Jeni's is not my favorite ice cream parlor, it has a good offering and ambiance. read more

Jeni's on Frankford Avenue just off Girard is another superlative ice cream queue where you can sample their wares to your heart's content, and walk away with any number of full or half scoops of their multitude flavors. It is bright and cheery, and with long lines on any hot day in Philadelphia. We stopped in and after waiting briefly to move up in queue ordered the Burnt Orange, Sour Cherry Pie and Bamblewood Crisp for me and a single of the Sour Cherry Pie for the offspring. While the young'n slurped his on the drive home, I waited until I was relaxing in the easy chair to enjoy my triple creams. They were all exemplary. Loved the actual burnt orange flavor, sour cherries and mixed berry crunch. Each was distinct, moderately sweet and creamy to the maxx. Even the natural colors were a pleasure to behold. This Jeni's is the perfect location for a moveable dessert being so close to the many food opportunities in the immediate neighborhood. Street parking was not an issue on this Sunday late afternoon, and even the stroll from one place to the others was enjoyable even in the super heated early July weather. Lick cool to be cool. read more

Better selection than Rittenhouse and the staff was so patient and helpful with the large group in front of me. When it was my turn they proactively offered to pack my ice cream AND wrap the cone separately when I commented I should just get the paper bowl because I had the travel a few blocks. Excellent service and wow that limited passion fruit flavor is summer in a bowl. read more

I've been enjoying Jeni's ice cream for many years, and I quite enjoyed this location as well! The staff is always helpful, giving suggestions if you have questions, and friendly in providing samples to try. This time I had tried the trio with milk chocolate, homemade banana bread, and brown butter almond brittle. I enjoyed the milk richness of the milk chocolate without being overly sweet as sometimes milk chocolate can be, and I particularly enjoyed the brown butter almond brittle with a great base ice cream with fun crunches of the almond brittle. The homemade banana bread was good too, although I personally am just less a fan of soft chewy pieces in ice cream. Overall, I just always enjoy the base texture and flavor of all the ice creams at Jeni's. The ice cream is always rich, creamy, and smooth, so that even simple flavors taste delicious, which is important to me. Of course, they always have many different flavors to try, which is fun, too. Excited to keep enjoying Jeni's here and in other locations! read more

We came to Jeni's after dinner and it was delicious. It was our first time eating Jeni's and we would definitely come back. We sampled a few different flavors, including everything bagel, that really stays in your mouth with a strong garlic and onion flavor. I love everything bagels, however it was a little too overpowering for me. I ended up getting Brambleberry Crisp, Gooey Butter Cake, and Wildberry Lavender. All flavors were delicious and rich but my favorite was the lavender as it has a nice strong lavender flavor. The waffle piece was also nice: crispy and buttery. Some flavors were only selling by the pint. The interior is crispy white and clean. Staff were very kind and patient with us as we asked for samples. read more

Jeni's Brambleberry Crisp is my go-to! The quality of the ice cream is exceptional. I wish there was a one scoop option, as some days I am not hungry enough to finish two scoops. The prices at Jeni's are half of Van Leeuwen's - fyi!!! I find this location's workers a little standoff ish? They seem a bit annoyed and not overly joyful. read more

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams is definitely delicious. It's a premium type of bougie ice cream. Once you walk in...an instant smile from the smell of the buttercrisp waffles and the cheerful employees greeting you! Very happy about Jeni's being in Fishtown, and when I'm on the block -- I like to stop by to grab a to-go pint. On my most recent visit, I ordered a scoop of my favorite flavor, gooey butter cake (I love the cake chunks in it), with the limited-flavor butterscotch popcorn (you can taste both the popcorn and there are pieces of butterscotch in there too). Both flavors were good. The scoops are not big at all. While I ate inside, it appeared to be clean and comfortable. Jeni's also has plastic cups for piped water that you can pour yourself. read more

I went to Jeni's for the first time when I went to Columbus, OH with my friend to visit her sister at Ohio State University and, since then, I've gone to Jeni's every time I've gone back to visit Columbus. So I was pretty excited when I heard that they were opening two Philly locations. Their frosé sorbet flavor is probably hands down my favorite flavor that they have. I'm always impressed by the assortment of flavors that they carry. Definitely not your typical vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. Because I love having a variety, I opted for the trio scoop. The staff member who assisted me and husband was so patient with us as we sampled a few flavors to come to our ultimate decision of what we were going to get. Also, I really liked how after she handed us each sample, she would give a brief explanation of each flavor. I ended up choosing the Honey Vanilla Bean, Salty Caramel, and Wildberry Lavender. The Honey Vanilla Bean and Salty Caramel tasted like your standard vanilla bean and salted caramel so you can probably pass on these flavors unless you're in the mood for something classic. I would recommend the Wildberry Lavender though. The flavor was quite complex: fruity, creamy, and a little florally. Would I go back? : Maybe. I usually don't prefer heavy sweets and most of Jeni's flavors lean on the rich and decadent side. But I do think the few flavors I like are quite unique and I like that they keep things interesting with limited time flavors. Also, because Jeni's is now more accessible, the novelty of going has worn off a bit. Based on my personal flavor preferences, I would more accurately rate Jeni's a 3.5 but I do think they sell a solid scoop of ice cream. read more

I really like that they do half scoops so you can try more flavors. I wish the ice cream was just a bit more cold, as it's a bit melted & too soft upon receiving. Overall a good spot to grab a sweet treat. read more

Delicious flavors at this ice cream establishment to enjoy before a show at the Filmore. I would aim for some of the flavors that you can't find elsewhere, park yourself on the stools and watch people walk by enjoying a night on the town or walking their dog. The flight was a nice way to sample different flavors and with my group of four we were all able to get different ones and sample pretty much the whole menu. I imagine that it gets busier on the weekends and hot days so plan ahead! read more

Jeni's is hands down one of the best ice cream establishments in current times. It's not pretentious when it comes to flavors and not too sweet but best of all there's some whimsy. I will say the fact that you have a brick and mortar of Jeni's in Philly is hugeeee brownie points and reason to visit! I was first introduced to Jeni's when I would visit Austin. It had been too long since I've had a lick. I was torn by all the flavors. I wanted them all. It was hard decisions. I also have tasting anxiety. I don't want to be the person that is just getting sample after sample. I thought I might go the pumpkin route but then Again maybe watermelon taffy, that also sounded good. And in the end, it was the "Wildberry Lavender" I had to try. It was a beautiful balance of sweet and floral however stayed far away from soap or perfume like. I had to have it. "Wedding Cake" is a limited flavor, it's vanilla cake, lemon, blackberry and buttercream icing! I would easily pick this over an actual wedding cake on my big day! They nailed it and made it even better. I'm drooling just thinking about it. The service here is also stellar! The young lady served me three samples on cute little silver spoons. It was a most enjoyable afternoon treat. Looking forward to many, many, many more visits. read more

I used to *love* this Jeni's but they're getting close to losing my business. The last 4 or 5 times I've gone, they've given me the teeniest scoops humanly imaginable. When they put these little baby scoops into a waffle cone it looks laughable and a little sad. I don't know what manager told them to start shortchanging every order, but when I'm paying almost $10 for a standard/small (two scoops), I want to feel like I've gotten a full portion. Go back to real scoops, Jeni's. read more

You can smell the freshly made waffle cones from outside the store! This ice cream is great, as they offer samples too with their unique flavors they offer.

I took advantage of the first day of spring, where Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams gave out free ice cream! Right after a Pilates class i thought I'd treat myself, and it was totally worth it. I heard people commenting on the line as they walked by - if you're reading this, it went super quick! While in line I picked up a few gift items, their specialty ice cream spoons which match the angle of a bowl (very cool) and an ice cream scooper. Their flavors were diverse, it was hard to choose just one so I picked three - The darkest chocolate, Salty Caramel and Gooey Butter Cake. All went well together atop of a freshly made waffle bowl. I walked all the way home eating it, happy as can be. The interior decor was cool and fresh, with fun colors and a giant chalkboard, perfect for an ice cream night with the fam, rain or shine. The staff was friendly and hard at work, taking their periodic glimpse up out of the freezer to grab the next order, and down the line it went. Highly recommend, I look forward to coming back to Jeni's for more ice cream! read more

We felt like it was kind of strange for Jeni's to open shop in an area with a few established ice cream spots, and honestly hadn't loved their pints in the past, BUT this shop is pretty solid! The ice cream flavors are hit or miss for me, but when you get a hit, it REALLY hits! Definitely taste the flavors before committing, but they're always friendly about letting you try first. Even though the flavors are subjective, I'll give them credit for a consistent texture. The shop is bright and clean, the staff is always friendly, and they have enough flavors to appeal to everyone. Even when I don't really want an ice cream, if I catch a whiff of the waffle cones as we're walking by,, there's always a chance that I'll go in for some brambleberry crisp anyway! Now, would I wait in some of the long lines I've seen for a few scoops of Jeni's? Not a chance, but if you manage to walk by when the lines are short or nonexistent, definitely check it out! read more

They are generous with their samples so take advantage of that before committing to an ice cream. I made the mistake to not taste test a new seasonal flavor and hated my 2 scoop purchase of it lol. Nice and clean with friendly staff. read more

One would think that opening up an ice cream shop right before the start of the winter season would be a bad decision, but whoever thought to bring a Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream location to Philly should not be second guessed. The creamy, natural textures and full, accurate flavors of the ice cream here are some of the best I've had. I'm impressed by how many flavors that they offer in this small shop, and I think anyone who came in here would find at least one flavor that peaked their interest. I ended up getting the Brambleberry Crisp, Cold Brew with Coconut Cream, and Cognac and Gingerbread in a Trio. All had distinctive and quality flavors. The only knock I have on the place is the quantity of ice cream. I felt like the scoops could have been a bit more generous compared to the cost (I was just at the Van Leeuwen's that just opened in Philly, and for a similar price I got at least double the amount). Despite that, I would still keep coming back to try the other flavors and their seasonal varieties, and I'm scared for my health that this shop is so close to home. read more

Man oh man, I have been waiting for a Jeni's to open up in the area since I first discovered them years ago while I was living in Atlanta. To say I was ecstatic that this location was opening just down the street from me would be an understatement! The best 2pm lunch a girl could have asked for! The storefront is super easy to find right on Frankford Ave. The smell of fresh waffle cones wafts into the street and the store is super brightly lit. The environment inside is clean and comfortable with 3 large coolers full of flavors and a huge, easy to read menu posted up on the back wall. I tried a few samples and decided to go with the dairy-free Texas Sheet Cake and Brambleberry Crisp. I am also a huge fan of Brown Butter Almond Brittle and Salted Peanut Butter with Chocolate Flecks. You really can't go wrong with Jeni's and I love their mix of both dairy and non-dairy flavors alike. The waffle cones and bowls are stupid good (a little salty and a little sweet, always freshly made) and they also have pints to go. Definitely something for everyone here and I can't wait to come here all the time. read more

Came in on a weekday evening for some dessert. I came to this location when it was brand new, and I was excited to bring some friends who were in town. We came in on a Tuesday night, and there was a pretty short line. The lines in the store are fairly efficient; there are two arrays of the same ice cream flavor selection next to each other. This allows double the people to be served at once by the employees behind the counter. The employees were friendly and helpful. They were very easy-going and generous when allowing us to sample flavors. The menu is pretty simple; it allows a choice of a number of scoops either in a bowl or a cone. I opted for the regular 2-flavor size in a cup. I went for the Gooey Butter Cake flavor as well as the non-dairy Caramel Pecan Sticky Buns flavor. The service was very quick from getting my actual ice cream to getting to the payment line quickly. Both flavors were delicious, the Gooey Butter Cake being a long-time favorite of mine from their pints. We ended up sitting on a larger table they had in the middle of the shop. They also had some smaller seating sections on the sides. I found it very nice as a customer that they also have a self-serve water station with disposable cups. This cuts down a lot on having excessively long lines with customers just asking for water. Overall, I really have nothing bad to say about this Jeni's location. Service, quality, and setting are all awesome. I'd recommend this place for anyone looking for a sweet treat in Philly. read more

My, oh my. For a while, I thought this place was only in Chicago. I've been here a couple of times and never really looked into other locations. Thankfully, my stupidity was mitigated by Jeni's explosive expansion into the Philadelphia region with two locations - Fishtown and Center City. I decided to make the trip with some friends from across town to get to Fishtown and try the ice cream I so longed for. Filled with unique flavors, each type had the rich, deliciousness all dairy ice cream SHOULD have. For every minute that passed, my mouth was watering at the idea of being in one of the greatest places to exist on this earth. When I got there, it was the same, simple design that greets you with a warm feeling of "hey, you're home now. Jeni's is here for you". I quickly got my favorites - Gooey Butter cake, Blueberry Crisp, and Honey Vanilla bean. When put together, they make an ultimate combo that slaps ur tastebuds yelling "what have you been doing eating those nasty tubs of ice cream from Acme?" As soon as I sat down with the waffle pieces and the scoops of ice cream, I dived into the winter wonderland. Even the thought of the taste salivates my mind, and this ice cream is hard to beat in its consistency anywhere else. But within minutes, the three scoops were gone. Then I remembered, this place has kinda mid portions for the price - no wonder I bought those tubs of Ben and Jerrys. Despite the portions, this magical place gives you a surreal experience of ice cream flavors that will hopefully finish off the hefty meal you grab or satisfy that sweet tooth that came in with. read more
