My, oh my. For a while, I thought this place was only in Chicago. I've been here a couple of times and never really looked into other locations. Thankfully, my stupidity was mitigated by Jeni's explosive expansion into the Philadelphia region with two locations - Fishtown and Center City. I decided to make the trip with some friends from across town to get to Fishtown and try the ice cream I so longed for. Filled with unique flavors, each type had the rich, deliciousness all dairy ice cream SHOULD have. For every minute that passed, my mouth was watering at the idea of being in one of the greatest places to exist on this earth.
When I got there, it was the same, simple design that greets you with a warm feeling of "hey, you're home now. Jeni's is here for you". I quickly got my favorites - Gooey Butter cake, Blueberry Crisp, and Honey Vanilla bean. When put together, they make an ultimate combo that slaps ur tastebuds yelling "what have you been doing eating those nasty tubs of ice cream from Acme?" As soon as I sat down with the waffle pieces and the scoops of ice cream, I dived into the winter wonderland. Even the thought of the taste salivates my mind, and this ice cream is hard to beat in its consistency anywhere else. But within minutes, the three scoops were gone. Then I remembered, this place has kinda mid portions for the price - no wonder I bought those tubs of Ben and Jerrys.
Despite the portions, this magical place gives you a surreal experience of ice cream flavors that will hopefully finish off the hefty meal you grab or satisfy that sweet tooth that came in with.
