    One of the best ice creams I've ever had!! So rich and delicious. Opted for the chocolate raspberry and blueberry cheesecake both were fantastic. Chocolate raspberry had tiny raspberry cups of chocolate and the blueberry had chunks of cheesecake. Great place for dessert!

    More than 30 varieties of homemade ice cream and a full espresso bar from this locally-owned shop - I followed Harry in the door and enjoyed some Sneakers from the friendly staff. Looking forward to some of the famous floats next time!

    The drinks we got were not too sweet and just perfect. The service was nice and friendly. The inside was clean and had cool stuff in there.

    This place is busy and now, I understand why! Delicious ice-cream with all the love. Generous portions too. Had their coconut! Yum!!

    Coffee fudge ice cream

    We visited Mike's while in Tennessee very nice clean and friendly staff. Quick service no lines compared to the ice cream shop nexts door. My friend had 2 scoop blueberry cheesecake ice cream which was so good...I sampled the red velvet cake ice cream but ended up going with the coffee fudge (2 scoop) which I enjoyed.

    Staff was friendly and it was not busy. Homemade ice cream with good flavor choices. Interesting hot chocolate choices. I went a bit rogue and tried the Mumbai hot chocolate but I probably should have chosen a less exotic flavor. The clove and ginger was a bit overpowering for my preference and the small was only about 2/3 full then the rest was whipped cream. My daughter enjoyed her butter cookie milkshake. Small seating area tucked down 2nd Ave near Hard Rock Cafe. Bathrooms had a sign for 5minute time note (poop and scoot I guess-lol). Also looks like there may be a VRBO attached to the store (how interesting). Interesting spot.

    After hopping around to the Honky Tonks on Broadway, we came across Mike's and decided to take a break from drinking and get a dessert instead. We were able to sample some ice cream flavors before choosing a Double Scoop ($7.50) and a Double Espresso ($3.85). We split the scoop, but I had the Sweet Corn Pudding flavor, which was unique. It was pretty good with some bits of actual corn in it too. Other than that, all other flavors were pretty standard.

    Perfect place to stop by to rest your tired feet! They give big portion of ice cream scoop and it really can satisfy your cravings. Lines can get long really fast and not a lot of seating inside but have a few tables outside.

    Great place to stop in if you're craving something sweet. Came here for some ice cream. I ordered the butter pecan and it was the perfect amount. Staff were ok. It gets busy here. Plenty of seating inside and outdoors.

    When you are in 90 degree weather and need something cold but also need a pick me up, stop in to Mike's. Not only are their flavors extensive but you can customize beyond belief! We went with the Affogato, which is basically espresso over ice cream. We tried both the Salted Caramel and Pralines and Cream flavors. Beyond delicious! There were 10 other things we wanted to try so we are adding Mike's to our list for our next Nashville vacation!

    So glad I got to be refreshed from the heat of the day at Mike's! There was an ice cream shop right next door that I stopped at first, but I was not impressed by their Icecream. When I sampled Mike's, I was immediately won at first bite. I loved the unique flavors and how expansive the options were. There was also coffee and other items, adding to the menu variety. The staff had a good vibe and were nice. My friend who is dairy free was even able to get some icecream that she raved about (and she also didn't like the shop next door). I loved the small coffee shop vibe and even took a moment to sit and kick back here. I would recommend stopping in for a sweet treat!

    Such a great spot to cool off and get a sweet treat downtown! Plus, now that second ave is open again with wider sidewalks, you can take your ice cream to go and explore Broadway nearby! I recommend the Tennessee Fudge flavor if you do stop by!

    I wandered around downtown Nashville after a show at the Ryman, searching for any place with an open kitchen. I hadn't had time for dinner before the performance and I was STARVING. Alas, it was a Monday so my options were limited. So I had dinner at Mike's Ice Cream. Yes, it was a hot fudge sundae. No I do not regret it. I was a well rounded meal after all! Dairy? CHECK Ice cream and whipped cream, protein and vitamin D needs fulfilled. Grains? CHECK Peanuts! Not technically a grain but nuts are filling and high in protein and fiber. Fruit? CHECK Maraschino cherry. Need I say more? Hot fudge. Technically cocoa pods, from which chocolate is derived from, is a fruit? Veg? CHECK. High fructose corn syrup (most likely also found in the fudge) is made from CORN, DUH! Ok, ok, so my rationale is shakey at best. But it was between this option and fast food and in the end I picked the local biz, even if it was ice cream for dinner. As for the experience--staff was super kind and I sat, enjoying my first bite of food since lunch, watching all the other tourists walk by. Not a bad choice in a bind or even if you're just out strolling around and want to indulge in a sweet treat in a more traditional way.

After about a 5 minute wait, it was our turn to pick out our item. I went with the Nutella Chocolate Chunk and Cookies and Cream Cookies for the outside, and Mud Pie ice cream. I had it all toasted and they used a panini press looking thing that made it perfect! The cookies were the best part and it was a lot, easily sharable if you can find someone who likes the same combo. The staff was friendly, bathrooms clean, and would have been nice to have a self service water station.

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.

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.
