Wildberry lavender, Cookies in Cream, Buttercrisp Waffle Wedge
Alexa C.

Jeni's comes up with fun seasonal and local flavors, like the Strawberry Pretzel Pie. In addition to serving yummy ice cream, I also love that they support local organizations like HARP.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bramberry and Caramel Apple Ice Cream
Cameron

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.

Standard scoop

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.

Took my order to-go and enjoyed it on Mt. Washington. Peanut butter with chocolate flicks and darkest chocolate combo. Large portion size for a small and friendly service. Can't wait for my next jenis run!

Really great ice cream! Pricey, but good. I liked their pints on GoPuff and a nearby local ice cream shop was closed, so we went here instead The flavor selection is good, tons of seating outside, and very good quality ice cream. Just wish it wasnt $6.50 for a small

Brambleberry Crisp and Wildberry Lavender
Anokhy D.

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.

Gooey Butter Cake Pint
Jessica S.

Absolutely love their gooey butter cake ice cream. They have dairy free options too which my one lactose intolerant friend loves. Their staff is always friendly and lets you try as many as you want!

Lauren B.

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.

First, this is delicious ice cream without the fact that they are dairy free. It was amazing. The…read moreflavors are fantastic and you would believe that it is a dairy explosion but you are wrong on the dairy part. We were down the street enjoying a great calzone and some beers and we kept seeing people walk by with ice cream. So when we left we found the place...we had no idea what we had found. Inside the two ladies were cheerful and greeted us with smiles. They gave us tastes of several different options and we each chose the one we wanted. Payment was easy and there were opportunities to stay inside if you preferred. The night we went it was a lovely and cool evening so we walked back to our apartment eating the most delicious dairy free ice cream I never knew existed.

Very good local ice cream place. I actually didn't really that they were a local small business…read moreuntil just recently! Several great spots I know carry these ice cream sandwiches (Pittsburgh Taco Boys, Burghers in Millvale, among numerous others. I tried my first Leona's sandwich from the Millvale restaurant). Some supermarkets carry them too, I think. I had their lemon meringue ice cream sandwich. Man, it's really good. The sandwich part is sturdy and holds all the great ice cream together. The ice cream is fresh and flavorful, and quite sweet. I just really enjoyed it. Yes, decently pricey but high quality, so I think it's worth it.

I was having a real "Pittsburgh Proud" moment at this ice cream spot. I loved reading about the…read morehistory of the business and looking through all of the vintage advertisements and memorabilia outside the shop. My first thought after visiting was that I should have come here sooner, and my second thought was already deciding what I want to order next time. I am already planning to order the peanut butter soft serve with warm fudge and a warm cookie after being inspired by their chocolate chip cookie sundae advertisement and will need to ask about what the strawberry shortcake situation is all about as well. For years, I watched the long lines outside and wondered what all the hype was about. Sometimes you don't get it until you "get it" - and now I get it. Fortunately for us, there was barely any line when we arrived even though it was a hot summer day. Even better, it's only about a one-hour walk from my house. The service was also fast and friendly and the employee who helped us was pleasant the whole time which added to the overall experience. I was especially impressed by the peanut butter soft serve. The flavor was rich and pronounced without compromising the smooth, creamy texture of the soft serve. It was everything I would want peanut butter soft serve ice cream to be. I was also surprised by how many soft-serve flavors they offer. Most places have only a few options, but there was plenty to choose from here. That said, it's hard for me to order anything other than the peanut butter soft serve now that I know how much I love it. One thing to know is that they do not offer free samples because the flavors are made to order. Something else to know is that the small sized cone held noticeably more ice cream than the small cup despite being the same price - so if you can I suggest the cone over the cup if you want more ice cream for the same price. I originally chose the cup because my hands weren't clean, but I later realized the cones come with a plastic protector around them anyway. All in all, this is one of those places that lives up to its reputation, and I highly recommend coming here if you are an ice cream aficionado.

Came on a rainy Sunday and the line was not too long! It moved quickly and the workers were really…read morefast and efficient in trying to get everyone's order. I got the strawberry shortcake sundae and it was huge! I did not expect it to be so big so if you're looking to share something this would be it! It's a staple and delicious. I will be coming back to try to different flavors they got going on.
