Y'all, I came across Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream while in McLean, VA. Let me tell you, I was…read moreimmediately sold. I, of course, sampled almost all of the flavors, and I was torn between what to choose. The portion sizes were humungous, and everything was delicious! The store was very clean, and the staff was very friendly. Upon entry, they greeted me with a smile and were eager to assist. The location is perfect. There is ample parking around the shopping center and also a great location to walk around and eat your ice cream while exploring the area. To my surprise, there is a shop located in my hometown, which, as you can imagine, will be problematic. (LOL) If you're near a Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream, stop by; you'll be glad you did!

Jeni's Ice Cream was our latest ice cream spot to try in the area.  There…read moreare many to choose from so we were a little picky.  Everything was fine, but nothing really made it stand out from the many others in the neighborhood. The service was fine.  We were surprised that when some of the ice cream dropped from the sample spoon on to the floor by accident, and we asked for a napkin to clean it up, they told us not to worry about it.  I went and found a napkin anyway.  It was a little gross to have a blop of ice cream (even a small one) right in front of the counter where people would step on it.  They also didn't offer another sample knowing that that one never made it to anyone's mouth for a tasting....  Anyway, we opted to try two waffle cones with  a total of four scoops - malted milk chocolate and banana cookie dough, goey butter cake salted peanut butter and brown butter almond brittle.  Maybe it's a matter of too many different things in each type but we didn't really rave over any of them.  The location is clean with plenty of seating and a nice view of the flowered walk way out front.  However, being that it fell short of several other ice cream spots we have tried lately and that you have to pay for parking, I don't think we will be back.

As you walked in, the shop is clean, comfortable and has a few tables to enjoy your sweets. They not only have ice cream, but also cookies, pastries, hot and cold beverages, gluten free items and great customer service. If I'm ever in the area again, I would make another visit to try other items on their menu.

Plenty of chocolate for sale here as well as gelato options.

I had actually been to a couple of Venchi locations in airports for chocolate, but hadn't realize they served gelato and had never had theirs. It was a very strange experience, though. We walk up to the ice cream counter to look at the flavors and they say we have to stand behind the register. We inquire as to whether we can taste flavors and they say yes, but only after you've purchased your ice cream. The issue with that is how do I know if I want one or two flavors until after I've tasted the gelato? I assume kids were coming in and tasting a bunch without buying anything, but then ask for a deposit or something. It doesn't make any sense to not be able to look at or taste the flavors before you have to order. I only tasted two flavors because they were making me so uncomfortable, and selected the second one I tasted--a dark chocolate flavor that wasn't honestly pretty darn excellent. So 5 stars for the actual taste (and their chocolates) and minus a star for the service.

The ice cream is delicious, and as soon as you walk through the door, there's a small space where…read moreyou can take a look at all the flavors. Since the shop is fairly small and doesn't have much seating, I recommend checking out the flavors posted on the glass door outside so you have an idea of what you want before going in. The staff was also very friendly and proactive. I was debating between two flavors, and they offered to let me try one before deciding. I'm so glad they did because I ended up choosing the other flavor--and it was definitely the right choice! Great ice cream, helpful staff, and a fun little local spot. I'll definitely be back!

I also got cookies & cream & cookie dough flavors, so it wasn't like I was trying anything too exotic...

A friend let me know that on some weekend nights they have live music behind the ice cream shop so you can bring the family, enjoy music, eat and have some ice cream! Initially when I used Google Maps I got a little lost. Eventually I found the right parking lot tucked in the back of Great Falls Village Centre. So if it's your first time maybe allow a little bit of extra time to navigate parking.

I usually love having brownie with my ice cream and while I was at the register, the gentleman working there heard me talking about how much I was missing the brownie.

You can really feel the care they put into their shop and their customers. I will definitely be coming back!

I also got to meet the owner and she was seriously the sweetest and so kind. The inside is also super cute and has such a nice atmosphere. I got the raspberry and lychee sorbets together, and WOW such a refreshing combination. If you like sorbets I would highly recommend getting these two together. They were seriously delicious. I also tried the Apple Pie and Thai Ice Tea flavors. The Thai Ice Tea wasn't overly sweet, which I loved and you could really taste the thai tea flavor. The apple pie tasted exactly like an apple pie, just creamier in an ice cream form. Everything was so good, and the whole experience was great. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the Mosaic area!

Ordering is a little precious, you pay first but without specifying what gelato flavor(s) you want. Then you wait for somebody to call your name and then a staffer will fill your order. If you've never been here, it's not clear where you stand to get service. But head over to the cash register. I didn't see the kiosk other Yeeps have mentioned in their reviews. I got a small cup with one scoop of orange gelato and one of pistachio. The orange was the better flavor of the two. A wide range of flavors are available. The cups are a bit deceptive. Take a look at the bottom of the cup and you will see that it is recessed pretty deeply in the cup, meaning you aren't getting as big of serving as you would think with a cup that size.
