Always a go to! Jeni's has so many consistent as well as seasonal flavors. It's a popular spot so the line can be long but it goes fast! My favorite consistent flavor is the ooey gooey butter cake and my favorite special is the miso brownie. Super cute inside! Plenty of seating. Perfect spot for any occasion and love that this location is within bakery square. read more

Jeni's always hits the spot, I leave every time with the biggest smile like I'm a kid. No matter the flavor, you can't go wrong. We tried four flavors and all of them were really good, the dairy free left a little to be desired. Two things stood out: dairy free was VERY coconut forward, little banana cream pie flavor at all. Secondly, the birthday cake buttercream was the best flavor I've had of theirs, seriously every bite tastes like that cake you had on your birthday as a kid. Sprinkles, the frosting, everything. My other favorite is the double dough. Yes, it's very sweet but it's just so good. Perfect amount of chunks in every bite. 10/10 every time. read more

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams is a chain restaurant that serves ice creams in unique flavors (e.g., Powdered Jelly Donut and Maple-soaked Pancakes) and more-usual flavors (e.g., Green Mint Chip and Cookies in Cream). Some flavors are dairy-free or gluten-free. The ice creams are available in different sizes and can be put inside bowls or cones. Customers may also purchase pints to take home. In the past few years, I have visited this Jeni's many times. The employees always make pleasant conversation, happily offer me free samples, and correctly assemble my ice creams. I rate the Bramble Berry Crisp as 5 stars, the Mexican Hot Chocolate as 4.5 stars, the Milkiest Chocolate as 4.5 stars, the Brown Butter Almond Brittle as 4.5 stars, the Sweet Cream Biscuits & Peach Jam as 5 stars, the Salted Peanut Butter as 5 stars, the Sparkling Cherry Pie as 4.5 stars, the Pistachio Macaron as 4.5 stars, the Dulce de Leche as 4.5 stars, the Cranberry Panettone with Chocolate Sprinkles as 5 stars, the Caramel-apple Crumble as 4.5 stars, the White-chocolate Peppermint as 4 stars, and the Watermelon Taffy as 4 stars. read more

This is my first time to a Jeni's splendid ice cream shop and I'm glad I tried it. Now I can see what all of the fuss is about. The natural flavors and real cream are truly delicious. And whether or not you purchase an extra waffle bowl or cone, you'll get a slice of crunchy buttery goodness in your serving! It was pretty busy when I was there during off hours and I can only imagine that it gets real crazy during peak times. Give it a try and see for yourself. read more

Solid ice cream, but really pricy for small portions. Loved the different flavors, esp the seasonal limited ones like Bramberry and Caramel Apple. I also like that they use actual spoons to give samples, and the staff was super friendly, offering advice and pairings. The portions though are pretty small, giving half scoops for full prices, liked the little piece of waffle cone that comes with the cup, but still not really worth it in my opinion. read more

I stopped by on Sunday night and there was a long line but it moved quickly. There's always fun new flavors to try and I went with the new popcorn brittle along with an old favorite, the brown butter almond brittle. The staff members were super nice, encouraging patrons to sample multiple flavors. The ice cream itself is very creamy and not icy like some other brands can be. The inside is smaller but bright with a lot of natural lighting. read more

I love how consistent Jeni's is across locations. In our most recent visit, we got a double scoop Standard bowl of brambleberry crisp and wildberry lavender. I've gotten the former a few times before and it always hits. I'm not big on lavender but this combo really masked that floral scent that drives me away from lavender usually. read more

So yummy! the flavor selection here is absolutely unmatched. The staff is so so kind and always lets you sample as many as you want to be sure you pick what you truly want. The Brambleberry Crisp is my favorite - despite my normal leanings in all dessert aspects towards chocolate. The homemade waffle bowls/cones take it to the next level. The prices can be a little steep, so definitely join the rewards to save a bit here and there. Should definitely try in whatever city you find one next. read more

Something stopped us at the door. It was late but Jeni's was still open. We had a feast of ice cream. I had strawberry and it was delicious. I had a kid's order but everyone else in our group had the trio cup. Stopping here was a great end to a fun night. The staff is friendly and helpful. There are non-dairy options. The shop was hopping at 11pm with regulars and new customers alike. The store was clean. Bathrooms were clean. Parking would be on the street. Handicap accessible. read more

First time visiting bakery Square and walked past here.. as someone who has a sweet tooth I just knew I had to stop and I'm glad that I did. It is a small ice cream shop that was very clean inside with unique flavors of ice cream. My kids and I enjoyed the ice cream a lot, the service was great as well. We will definitely be back. read more

I like the outdoor and indoor seating options, the decor is cute and aesthetic. You are able to try samples from a variety of different flavors. I enjoyed the two flavors that I got but on the pricier side for the amount of ice cream that you get. read more

Always one of my favorite ice cream places in the US. Wide and delicious range of flavors, staff is always great and enthusiastic about samples. Prices are fair for the quality, usually will run you just under 10. Best year-long flavors are brown butter brittle and ooey gooey butter cake. Today, got the sweet potato praline and 7 layer cake which were both phenomenal. They really show out for the holiday flavors. Open late and good seats inside. Good talks with some gooder friends. They came to church with me before and we walked all the way here just talking which was really nice. I like walks. read more

We love Jeni's! As native Ohioans, we had to try the Jeni's in town. Per usual, it was delicious and they had fun new flavors we hadn't tried before. I loved that this location actually had seating and a bunch of it! Service was friendly and fast. We will be back to try more flavors but today we tried: *hot toddy - a sherbet with flavors to taste like the drink! *fluffer butter - MY FAVORITE! Think childhood peanut butter and marshmallow fluff. Not too overpowering. Delicious *banana French toast - after trying a sample I thought I liked this but after eating more of it, it wasn't my favorite Jeni's flavor read more

Wanted to go here forever since they don't have a Jeni's where I grew up. It's such a cute ice cream place in Bakery Square! Interior is really bright and clean, cutely decorated, and there are so many fun flavors to choose from. Love the whole pastel aesthetic -- sitting inside such a nice environment makes the ice cream taste so much better! I got the brambleberry berry crisp in a waffle cone. Their cones are sooo good and they're really generous with the scoop sizes! This was the perfect treat to brighten up a rainy summer day. The workers here are really friendly as well :) read more

Jeni's is so good! I tried their PB&J sundae recently and I loved the ice cream (salted peanut butter with chocolate flecks) and the strawberry jam sauce. I didn't care for the whipped cream; it was mostly just heavy whipping cream that wasn't the right texture. But otherwise the ice cream was so good and the presentation was great. read more

I love it here! The inside is so cute and the employees are always friendly and quick. I like coming every once in a while to try out the new flavors. I went yesterday to get the new double dough, I didn't love it nor did I hate it but I still got a scoop of it and the more I ate the more I liked it. I also got their birthday cake which usually is a no for me at most places, it's really sweet but not full of globs of blue icing like usual. But the best of all is their fresh made waffle cones and pieces. I usually buy a seperate container to eat with my ice cream because the little bit that comes with it isn't enough. read more

Overall, their ice cream is decent but it's expensive. I ordered a trio with rainbow buttermilk frozen yogurt, wildberry lavender, and strawberry buttermilk in a buttercrisp waffle bowl. The scoops were all the size of ping pong balls, and it amounted to about $10. Parking in Bakery Square can get tough during busy hours. There's seating both inside the shop and in an adjacent dining area. I'm glad that I tried it but there's better and cheaper ice cream options in PGH read more

I was in the area and since the Yelp elite event I could not stop thinking of Jeni's ice cream. The stuff are super friendly and very helpful and nice. I ordered a bowl 3 flavors with dark chocolate peanut butter and coffee ice creams. The ice cream is delicious and one of the best in the pittsburgh area. The store has plenty of seating and there is plenty of parking. I will defiantly be back again and again. If you are looking for some of the best ice cream in pittsburgh then Jeni's is a must to go to. read more

Very nice place, with a great multitude of flavors to choose from. Stopped in with my son and we both got some yummy stuff. I'm a simple guy, so it was some vanilla bean and chocolate in a cup. My son got some caramel swirly looking stuff on a waffle cone. We enjoyed our treats, served by some very pleasant folks, in the large lobby outside the shop. Great spot, terrific ice cream! Try it! read more

We visited Jeni's in Nashville awhile ago and were thrilled to find out there was a location opening close(ish) to us. They have so many flavors to choose from. I'm a chocolate lover and the Blackout Chocolate Cake was deeeee-licious! My husband enjoyed the Gooey Butter Cake flavor. I can't wait to come back and try all the different flavors. They have descriptions on each as well as allergens which is important to me as I can't have tree nuts. Super cute atmosphere and a great location. The parking is a little crazy but the parking garage is free on Sundays (up to 3 hours) so that was helpful. read more

I went to Jeni's in Pittsburgh for the first time and I was immensely impressed with the dexterity, patience and quickness of Dasia (Southside Works). We (20), inundated her with our presence; no notice or fore warning; battle tested, women veterans seeking cold refreshment. She was amazing to watch. We saw, we ate, we conquered. Jeni's ice cream was delicious. I had the bramble berry. read more

Love their new flavor- lemon and blueberry. It is very tart, but I loved it cause I love tart and sour things. The staff are really nice and very frivolous with their samples- def ask to try any flavor you are curious about! Located in Bakery Square and always has parking, if you can't find a parking spot near the ice cream place, there is two different parking lots with tons spaces. Two hour free on weekdays and three hours on weekends. Also has nice seating area outside and it's very relaxing to sear and enjoy your delicious ice cream! read more

We went down to Bakery Square and steered right into Jeni's. We are glad we did. First the service was great and he encouraged us to try as many as we wanted. We ended up with a triple scoop waffle cone with Chocolate Cake, really chocolaty and gooey, Butter Cake another keeper and Cranberry Crumble really tart so be warned. We loved them so much we bought some to take home for those that did not join us on our Saturday stroll. Definitely going back. read more

How amazing. I've seen Jeni's around forever and have always wanted to try. I'm so glad I waited for this. I got to try a few flavors and the amazing humans behind the counter were so helpful and nice! I wound up with a chocolate scoop, a scoop of bramble berry because the internet said I had to, and tried their new/limited goat cheese cherry. omg.

I am a die-hard Jeni's fan. I will stand on a soap box and tell anyone who will listen that Jeni's is the best ice cream in the world, and I mean that. I lived in Columbus (where Jeni's originated and is abundant) so when I am somewhere with a scoop shop, I will go out of my way to go there. Like in all scoop shops, the best part is the smell of the shop - absolutely mouthwatering. The staff is extremely friendly and you can try samples. There is plenty of seating in this scoop shop. They also have gender neutral restrooms which is fantastic. Seriously, if you have never had Jeni's, stop what you are doing and go immediately. read more

I attended a collaboration event between Bakery Square and The Beauty Boost Pittsburgh held at Sally's Place this morning. The event included meditation, yoga, and discounts to local businesses, including Jeni's ice cream! The shop is colorful and inviting, however an entire shelf randomly fell down behind someone while we were waiting in line! Fortunately everyone was ok. As for the ice cream, the wildberry lavender was perfect parts sweet and tart while the cookies in cream was a crunchy take on one of my classic favorites. It was served with a fresh tasting buttercrisp waffle wedge. With so many creative flavors to chose from, I look forward to returning! read more

Love love love!!!! The price is worth the quality. Unlike any other ice cream, Jenis is made with all natural ingredients and you can definitely taste the difference. The staff are super nice and helpful. I don't think I can ever enjoy regular ice cream again. Jenis is on a whole other level. The ambiance is super cute, modern and up to date. read more

It's hard to believe the last time I had ice cream at Jeni's was in Columbus, Ohio in 2015! My husband and I stopped here for dessert since we had just finished lunch at a nearby restaurant. The ice cream is sent over to them from their Columbus location but the waffles used for the cones and cups are made in house. What's nice is that you get to sample any flavor of choice. They do offer a couple of dairy free options and those are noted on their menu. My husband wanted a bowl of salted peanut butter and their monthly special-blackout chocolate cake ice cream. I had that same blackout cake flavor myself and believe me-it is to die for!! I learned that they used to sell those in their sell able pints but now they have put it in their stores for consumption. He loved his two scoops. I had gone with the blackout cake, the dark chocolate ice cream and a flavor known as goat cheese with red cherries. The dark chocolate really wasn't as appealing as I had thought but I loved the goat cheese. A very unique concept which makes you think you are eating a cherry cheesecake. The ice cream wasn't too heavy and having 3 scoops was just the right amount for me. The place is very clean and even the napkins tell the story of the ice cream process. They have merchandise for sale so during my visit I purchase a few ice cream spoons and a small cooler which I can take anywhere when I have to carry perishables. Prices are pretty reasonable for these items. They sell their pint ice creams in a freezer behind the checkout counter. Cards and cash are both accepted. Jeni's splendid ice cream is a chain with locations in various states. This location is a great addition to the area and with the 2-3 hour free parking in the nearby garage makes it a lot easier to get to. Located in Bakery Square next to AVS Alta Via pizzeria and Galley Bakery Square. read more

The ice cream is good. Most flavors are great, the waffle cones are good. They have a wide variety

Great ice cream and location in Bakery Square! Getting 2 flavors for a single scoop was great and the workers were extremely friendly, their recommendations were helpful as well! I will say for 6 dollars I wish I had more ice cream, but instead I will say for the size I wish it costed slightly less. This is definitely a great spot for an after meal treat, and is a lot less heavy than milkshake factory! read more

We got hooked on Jeni's ice cream a few years ago at Whole Foods. The High Five Candy Bar was the first we tried and it is loaded with toppings, rich and deliciuos. Then a Whole Foods employee introduced us to the Wildberry Lavender which is a unique flavor and so good. We buy them mostly at Whole Foods (watch for sales) but sometimes at Target and Giant Eagle. However I kept seeing ads for flavors I couldn't find... so I was so excited when I saw that a Jeni's was opening in Pittsburgh. This location is in Bakery Square and pretty convenient to us. The front parking area can get congested so sometimes it is easier to go in the back and just head up the ramp into the garage. Garage parking was free for two hours. The shop is so cute and bright inside with some high tables and seating or you can take your ice cream outside to enjoy on a nice day. The employees greeted us and were very friendly. They were happy to make recommendations and offer samples. You also get greeted by the smell of fresh waffles as they are making the cones and bowls fresh in store. They had a really wide variety of flavors available, including some dairy free options. I think they have something for everyone. Subtle, rich, fruity, tangy, etc... They also seem to rotate through seasonal flavors pretty often. Since it was our first time in the store we wanted to focus on flavors we hadn't had before. The pumpkin roll was a bit of a let down, just didn't have as much pumpkin flavor as we were looking for. The gooey butter cake was good and unique. However, the wedding cake flavor was amazing. It was blackberry and lemon with cake. It had a good balance of fruit and richness without being too sweet. I was so disappointed when I learned this flavor was gone and wish I had a pint in the freezer. The ice cream is all creamy and delicious. The only downside is the ice cream is a little expensive. Also the pints to purchase at the store are $3-4 more than you would pay in the grocery store. Overall I am so glad to have a Jeni's close by and see they will be opening another location. I will probably mostly stick to at home pints. However when I feel like going out for ice cream or there is an irresistible flavor not available in grocery stores I will definitely be going. BONUS TIP: On your birthday you receive a free single, double or trio in a cone or bowl just by showing your ID. read more

Is the ice cream good? Yes. Is it worth over $7.00 for a tiny portion... No. Tourist trap type of place. There are so many better local choices with similar, if not better ice cream. I really thought it was a prank when he handed me a cone with 2 ping pong sized ice cream scoops on it... for over $7.00. I am glad I tried it, but will not be back. read more
