SUMMARY. Jeni's ice cream is my personal favorite, so I always like checking out the various locations. This one is on the main drag in Hillsboro Village, about three blocks off Vanderbilt's campus. While it offers the same great ice cream experience you can expect from any Jeni's, this location is always absolutely mobbed. As such, lines can be long, and tables non-existent.
LOCATION. Hillsboro Village. This particular location is quite small and doesn't offer many tables. I've been here several times around 8pm and never once gotten a seat (even by myself). I usually eat while standing or get it to go. Again, this is due to its proximity to Vanderbilt, as it is walking distance for undergraduates without cars.
QUALITY. The quality is the same as any Jeni's I've been to: INCREDIBLE. Their ice cream, in my opinion, is leaps and bounds better than any I can think of. My favorite flavor is Brambleberry Crisp.
SERVICE. The service at this location is great. Again, it can be slow and crowded, but the actual service is top notch. Employees are very friendly and helpful, making for a pleasant experience.
TAKEAWAYS. I come here often, as I like it's close proximity to campus (I am a graduate student). The quality of Jeni's ice cream is unbeatable, and the employees here are super nice! My only qualm is the mob scene, which usually precludes my being able to sit down while enjoying. Still, I find myself back here frequently, so I can't be that upset!
Happily,
