    Our first attempt to try the highly recommended ice cream place ended when they unexpectedly had a change in their hours. Our second visit wrapped up with some great samples and an order of a standard cup of ice cream. The ice cream was very good. Service was okay; however, they had been open for over an hour and were still settling up the ice cream freezers. Complimentary water was also warm (on a day near 109°). Execution could be better.

    First time trying Jeni's and I was pleasantly surprised! I had heard good things but stopped in with some friends after happy hour to give it a try myself. My favorite icecream flavor is coffee so I was excited to see they had a house coffee flavor available, it was delicious! I also got a scoop of the buttercream birthday cake since it was GF and I haven't been able to have a flavor like that in forever. Though it's a bit pricey, I could tell it was high quality icecream and I love their unique flavors. Staff were friendly and I love the cute decor inside!

    Finally...I had the chance to experience Jeni's. I've been hearing about this ice cream for years. And it did not disappoint. It's so rich, because of the quality, even a small cone can be too much. The sampling is so cool. You can have as many as you like and they use real mini spoons so there is no waste. I went for the salted peanut butter with chocolate and it was as delicious. Their staff is so helpful and friendly and the place is set up for major traffic. They clearly know how to keep people happy! The place is bright and clean with seating inside and a few benches outside. We're going back tonight and it's gonna be goat cheese and cherry!!

    The flavors are unique. Very creamy and not too sweet. It was my first time, so I sampled all the flavors. The worker was so patient with me. I ultimately decided on bramberry and a butter Carmel almond. So good and I love Jenis gives 2 half scoops. There is plenty of seating inside, but also you can sit outside on the water fountain on a nice day.

    We had some of their Bridgerton limited edition ice creams that were delicious! Wildberry lavender, Queens Sheet Cake, and Earl Grey Creme Brulee. All bowls come with a waffle cone crisp. We also tried their coffee, bramble berry crisp, maple soaked pancakes (new!), and almond. They were quick with service even though it was busy and the have nice indoor seating! Recommend for a sweet treat after dining at The Herb Box or another local restaurant.

    Nestled in old town Scottsdale is this wonderful little ice cream shop. They make their waffle bowls from scratch and you can even see the process. We got to try quite a few flavors and had a hard time deciding what we wanted because all of them were great! They have half scoops which I can appreciate that way I was able to try more. It was a little on the pricey side for 2 half scoops which is equivalent to one full scoop was $7.15, however, we really enjoyed our ice cream and the flavors. The young lady helping us was super sweet in allowing us to try several different flavors.

    Arizona can't have enough ice cream shops. Especially during the hot summers when temps get well over a hundred degrees. I love the location of this Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams. It is located in Downtown Scottdale near the Waterfront. This store opened in 2023 and has been a welcome addition to the Scottsdale area. Before they opened this store, Jeni's Ice Creams in AZ could only be purchased in stores like A.J.'s and Whole Foods. Founder Jeni Britton Bauer opened the first Jeni's ice cream shop in 2002 in Ohio. Now they are nationwide. Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams is known for their unique flavors. Popular flavors over the years include Blackout Chocolate Cake, Salted Peanut Butter, Brambleberry Crisp, Root Beer Float and Brown Butter Almond Brittle. There is a collab flavor with Ted Lasso called Biscuits with the Boss. Jeni's Ice Creams even offers a "flight" if you want to try a variety of flavors. I got the Salted Peanut Butter with Chocolate Flecks and Buttercream Birthday Cake during my first visit. I had to wait in a long line to get my ice cream, but enjoyed my brief time here. Jeni's has a refrigerator with pints of ice cream to take home or they deliver nationwide from their website.

    Gooey butter cake and bridgerton flavor!

    Jeni's is the best ice cream!! It smells like waffle cones inside and they have the best flavors. The workers are super friendly and let you try before you decide. Probably my favorite ice cream spot in Scottsdale. Never fails me!

    Literally the ONLY solid good "meal" I've had here in Phoenix Arizona. Absolutely amazing. Super affordable prices as seen in the menu. Super unique flavors and also just delicious normal flavors too. Great samples provided w great service too! Loved the honey vanilla bean and almond brittle flavors. And obviously the ambiance was amazing just look at the decor!! Cutest little shop. A must visit for Phoenix

    Time for ice cream!! It was a beautiful day in Scottsdale, and I had just finished up an interview. Felt like I nailed it, so I treated myself to Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream. I've never been to one before and I didn't know about this location, but I'm glad I went. They offer a nice variety of flavors and they also have prepacked pints ready for you to take home. There are a few tables and chairs inside where you can sit and devour your ice cream. I opted to eat mine outside as I people watched. The prices aren't outrageous for the amount you get. I loved the little waffle pieces they included as well. Most times I WANT a waffle cone, but I'm trying to limit my carb intake these days. Plus, most places usually charge you extra for a waffle cone. Hats off to Jeni's for awesome and friendly service! I look forward to more visits in the near future.

    Staff was nice and friendly, let us enjoy of couple of tasters. I tried like 3 flavors and had to go with the two i chose.

    Yum yum yum. While I am not a fan of the waffle cones due to them being too salty, I like the ice cream. They rotate and change the flavors often. They have three big freezer cases. You have to stand in front of one of the sections for service. Once a couple of other customers ended up standing next to me and all of a sudden, the employee started helping them instead. It was pretty awkward. I felt uncomfortable since I had been there first. Then another employee asked me if I was being helped and I said that she could help me instead. But then, she looked at the other customers and was seeing if she could help them. Since they weren't paying attention to her, she ended up helping me, thankfully. I didn't really like the goat cheese with red cherries. The vanilla and the chocolate seem a bit bland.

    I didn't have a lot of time, but the aroma coming from this shop was TOO alluring and I had to stop in and try something. I got their smallest ice cream option, which was two small scoops (equivalent of one large scoop but you could have two different flavors if you want), in a cup, and it came with a little waffle cookie as an accent. I tried their brambleberry and it tasted very well made, with a rich, creamy texture and nice flavor. I did note, however, that occasionally, I discovered some kind of grain hull in my teeth. I think this ice cream flavor had some kind of rough cut, hearty cookie or biscuit in it? Besides that, it seemed a little pricey. That might have been in part due to the area, this shopping neighborhood seems very boutique-y and expensive. The staff I interacted with were friendly and polite. The shop was clean, well lit and had a comfortable atmosphere. I'd return here again when I have more time and can choose my flavor(s) more carefully. :)

I tried both and it was hard to pick but I went with a single scoop of black sesame as I never see that flavor anywhere. It was so creamy with a nutty, coconut flavor and not too sweet.

A friend suggested this place for an after dinner meet up and I took a look at their menu and they have a nice selection of non dairy options so I agreed. What caught my eye was the mango sticky rice and I love this Thai dessert and was pretty excited to try it. We met up here around 8pm and the place was pretty quiet. Lots of seating inside and some outside too. Staff very friendly here and I got to try the coconut sorbet (which was super yummy) and also the mango sticky rice. I chose the mango sticky rice and enjoyed this treat. Next time, I might get half coconut sorbet and half mango sticky rice as I absolutely love coconut! Fun place to check out and its located in a great part of Scottsdale! Would be fun to come back, grab a cup of ice cream and go walk about Old Town Scottsdale. I see why this place is an Arizona favorite. I enjoyed it too! I'd definitely Come back!

The two shops are joint and definitely scream luxe in every way. A super modern and beautiful space with all the designer puns and cute offerings from trinkets, to clothes, house goods and of course ice cream bars. They offer chocolate ice cream, vanilla ice cream, cheesecake or a banana for dipping. You can build your own or select one of their speciality bars - both coming in around $9. I opted for the Neverfull of nuts. A vanilla ice cream base, dipped in chocolate, rolled with peanuts, a Reese's and Nutella drizzle. It was very good and definitely enjoyed during the beautiful sunny day in Old Town. The service was great, friendly, quick and helpful with suggestions. My grandparents who were visiting from out of town, loved it. Overall, it was a delicious treat, beautiful store and hit the spot. I do feel the price point is a tad steep and they didn't have any children of small offerings, but I suppose that goes hand in hand with the luxe vibe. I would definitely return, but also a few other local spots that equally hit the mark.

They really did nice renovations! You can either build your own bar or get one of their recommended combos. My husband and I each got our own. We definitely could've shared, but we wanted to try different things! I did a custom bar with chocolate ice cream, chocolate cake, and peanut butter drizzle. You can get two toppings and a drizzle, but I'm glad I just got the chocolate cake. It was AMAZING. I loved everything about it. My husband got the March Madness feature, which was a combo of Oreos and Andes mints with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. You can choose chocolate or vanilla ice cream - he chose chocolate. It was exactly what he wanted. The staff were so friendly and patient with everyone in front of us who took awhile to decide. The shop is pristinely clean as well! The bars are a little pricey, but the quality is there and fairly justifies the hefty price tag.
