Where to Chill Out in Phoenix With Dreamy, Creamy Frozen Treats

"Jeni’s, an Ohio-based ice cream company recently opened one if its whimsical scoop shops in downtown Scottsdale, and the area’s ice cream scene hasn’t been the same since. Flavor options include brambleberry crisp and sweet cream biscuits and peach jam, making it a go-to spot for grabbing a stacked ice cream cone and strolling through Old Town." - Jamie Killin

This place is very vegetarian-friendly, with a great variety of dairy-free ice cream options that still taste amazing. I was really impressed by how flavorful everything was, even without the dairy. It’s a hip, fun spot that’s perfect for hanging out with friends or family, and the atmosphere has a cool, relaxed vibe. The servers were also very kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely worth checking out!

I recently discovered this place and instantly fell in love. The service has always been friendly and you’re welcome to try as many samples as you’d like. I even like that they offer half scoop portions just in case you’re trying to be mindful of your portion control. They also have every flavor available in a to go pint and even offer these cute individual cups which would be perfect for parties.

What a lovely ice cream spot !! The person who helped us was so wonderful- wish I got her name . She was patient and let us try some samples ! We went with four half scoops ! It’s just a dollar more than the three scoops . They have some great flavors and great service ! Definitely worth a stop if you’re in town ! There’s always a line but it goes by pretty fast and is worth the wait .

Stopped in and the lady behind the counter was very nice and attentive. They don’t mess around with their samples either - little metal spoons and healthy sample sizes. Tried a few different flavors and ended up going with the coffee ice cream. My fiancé and I both loved it. We will definitely be back to try more flavors.

I was first introduced to Jeni's by my favorite person, who brought home the irresistible Brown Butter Almond Brittle from the grocery store. So, when I spotted an actual Jeni’s ice cream shop, I knew I had to try it, and it did not disappoint! While visiting, I discovered that the Gooey Butter Cake ice cream is gluten-free, which was a sweet surprise. The flavors are as dreamy as you'd imagine, and the vibe is just as sweet. If you're a fan of ice cream that's anything but ordinary, Jeni’s is a must-visit!

30 minute line out the door at 8pm. Good ice cream, but super overpriced. I love the birthday cake it’s actually gluten free.

I moved back home to Arizona almost twenty years ago after a stint in Columbus, Ohio, where I loved to visit the North Market in the Short North, where they had dozens of food booths. One was the first Jen's Splendid Ice Creams location, which I remember seeing Jeni on a regular basis as I stopped by and got a trio to get three small scoops of different flavors. After moving to Arizona, I remember visiting Columbus and learning that Jeni opened other locations in the city. Now, years later in my hometown of Phoenix, I am excited that two locations are located near me. I love the ice cream, the service, the rewards program and app, and the structure of the experience! I have visited this store on several occasions. While there was a long line the on the first visit, the line moved rather quickly due to all of the employees. There was a short line this last time, and while it didn't go as quickly, it still went as quickly as could be, and the staff were very pleasant and offered samples and recommendations. My favorite flavors are Honey Vanilla Bean (made with Fair Trade vanilla beans that are warm and complex in flavor and a perfect partner for a touch of honey and grass-grazed milk) and Coffee With Cream & Sugar (Intelligentsia coffee steeped in cream). There is a seating area inside, and I believe a small area outside, too, along with parking along the street outside the store. This particular location is located in Old Town Scottsdale and is open Mondays through Thursdays from 10 AM to Midnight and Fridays through Sundays from 10 AM to 1 AM. The location also offers local delivery and local fundraising. The website (https://jenis.com) offers a listing of flavors, gift options, pick-up and delivery options along with nationwide shipping, local grocery locations for ice cream pints, bars, and sandwiches, scoop shops, the story behind Jeni's, and more. They even have a Pint of the Month Club! Anyone can sign up for the Splendid Rewards program by going to https://jenis.com/pages/rewards. You can then log in through the website or the app. You can win prizes, earn rewards on every ice cream purchase, and enjoy special discounts and earn free ice cream and merchandise. You even get a free upgrade just for signing up. You also get access to members-only extras like birthday ice cream, early access to new flavors, and chances to earn bonus rewards. Lately, I've been playing wordles and if you finish it in three tries (or five tries when checking in), you can earn free ice cream just from that. I've already won a free pint of ice cream, two free ice cream samplers, and two free waffle cones. I highly recommend you checking out Jeni's if you've yet to ever try it. It's tasty and a great all-around experience!

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.

We've heard of Jeni's for a long time and we were eager to try it out. The serve was generous with samples and even recommended how we could get the most bang for our buck (the four flavor sampler, fyi). We ordered the Spring Collection which included tropical bloom, lemon bar, ripple berry, and pistachio. The server kindly added five waffle wedges for each of us, and the portion was just right for all five of us to try the various flavors without feeling stuffed. Overall though, not sure it lived up to the hype, but I wouldn't say no to another cup of Jeni's right now.

Stopped by here after dinner with my husband and loved our ice cream and the flavors they had. The place is very bright and you can tell the flavors are homemade. The staff was friendly and let us try a couple of different flavors and recommended us some good combinations. Definitely recommend!

I've had the opportunity to enjoy Jeni's ice cream multiple times over the years as it has become wildly popular and available since their early beginnings when Jeni started the company in Ohio. It has been really exciting to watch from afar as the brand has grown with both nationwide distribution and with their retail presence... as I write this review, Jeni's has scoop shops in both Old Town and Scottsdale Quarter as well as 30+ additional locations around the US. I went this past Friday night to this Old Town location along with my husband, my daughter, and a friend... We each went for the smallest option aka the "Standard" which is two half scoops in either a bowl, cone or waffle (cone) bowl. I went with half Lemon Bar (Dairy-free), which is described as "punchy lemon, shortbread crust, and rich coconut cream," and the other half Wildberry Lavender, "intensely fruity, brambly berry ice cream with a pop of sweet orange and lavender." It is served in a cup with a small waffle cone triangle, and it's more than enough ice cream... I actually wish they offered a mini version as that would be plenty. The Lemon Bar was my favorite and I would totally order it again and again, although in the future, I may want to try some of their other mouthwatering flavors too. Four of these ice creams + tax and tip was just under $40, so it's pretty pricey, but it's worth the price (and likely long line you'll wait in), if you want to treat yourself with some unique flavors that are carefully crafted with a tried and true formula. Jeni is not a James Beard Award-winner for no reason... check it out yourself! I'm sure I'll be back!

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.

When I saw the line at Jeni's I knew it had to be good! The line goes fast, they have enough employees working and a good system that keeps things moving. So many choices so it's cool you can sample the flavors. I finally decided on the Brambleberry Crisp which I absolutely love! I will definitely be back.

"I don't know about you, But I'm feeling twenty-two!" ― Taylor Swift, singing Jeni's lore Jeni's has been America's sweetheart for 22 years now. I myself have been a Jeni's fan for perhaps a decade, getting their pints at Whole Foods and such, and when they opened a shop up here in Arizona, I was excited! I was quickly heartbroken to see that they opened in DT Scottsdale. Here's hoping they open more locations around the valley so I can have one near me. You know the movie Everything Everywhere All at Once? It's like that here. All the flavors that will take you the multiverses. I connect to another Joyce with every flavor I try. They make so many great flavors, some being limited-time. A perk in going to their storefront is that you can try all sorts of delicious flavors before commiting and plopping your choice(s) into a freshly made cone. I chose pistachio macaron and gooey butter cake the evening I went and it was perfection.

If you think a kid in a candy store is bad, you should see a Michael in an ice cream store. I love ice cream. I could have it for dessert every day if my wallet, waistline, and doctor would let me. I love it so much, I suspect that I was floating in ice cream in the womb and not amniotic fluid. Jeni's is all sorts of great because they have great flavors, make their cones fresh, and you can try out all the flavors they have. Of course, the line is always a million people deep so you probably don't want to be *that* person. On my visit, I got a two-scoop cone with white chocolate peppermint and the gooey butter cake. And this was BEFORE dinner because when you're an adult, you don't need to follow rules. I scream, you scream, we're all screaming because life be like that sometimes. Oh, and ice cream... 'nough said.

3 stars rounded up to 3.5 for great service. A handful of flavors stood out among the various seasonal and year-round flavors that I tried. I ended up getting the Standard size cup ($6.75 - two half scoops). - Gooey Butter Cake. Though I didn't perceive the cream cheese, the gooey salted caramel-butterscotch swirl with vanilla cake hit the spot. It was on the sweet side. - Brambleberry Crisp. I appreciated the flavor of the berry, but I wasn't getting the crisp. It tasted more like a graham cracker crust to me. - Sparkling Cherry Pie. It was alright. I didn't really taste the sichuan peppercorn. - Lemon Crinkle. This was a solid "lemon cookies and cream" type of flavor. - Iced Molasses Gingerbread. I enjoyed the heavily spiced gingerbread base; it was so strong that it was borderline bitter. The molasses rounded it out. The gingerbread mix in was more like a chewy cookie rather than cake. - Sweet Potato Marshmallow Praline. I only tasted the sweet potato base. Granted, I only received a sample. My disappointment is personal since praline is one of my favorite flavors and hard to come by nowadays.

This was my first time coming to Jeni's! It's like an elevated version of Baskin Robbin's as it has many different flavors of ice cream, but ones that are geared more towards the adult palette. The flavors they had today had coffee, coconut, whiskey, coffee, blackberry, caramel, chocolate, and lots LOTS more! Not only was I impressed with the selection of flavors, but the ice cream itself is very high quality. It is rich and sweet and thick. So if you are looking for a more intentional dessert option, I'd highly recommend coming here. The staff and cashier were friendly and gave us some good recommendations for flavors that pair well together. The inside of the shop is very cute as well and has cute decorations, although the seating area isn't too big. However, because this location is in Old Town, you can sit outside or walk around. I came in on a Thursday evening with a friend and it wasn't too busy, but I could tell this place is pretty popular! And rightfully so. The ice cream went above my expectations. I like that they are open pretty late even on weeknights so you can stop in for a sweet treat.

I was looking for some dessert after dinner and stumbled upon Jeni's. I'm glad I did! My 1st time here and I was greeted with a smile. I asked a bunch of questions and I got to sample a few flavors. I decided to get the 2 scoop. 1st scoop was salted pb with chocolate flakes and the other was coffee with cream & sugar. 1st I LOVE PB!! I had to get it. It was good, but I definitely think it could have had more pb flavor as with the chocolate that mostly what you can taste. 2nd, I LOVE !! This maybe be the best coffee ice cream I've had. It tasted legit like cold brew with cream & sugar. A nice strong coffee flavor. A small thing, but they also have a water station for free water cups. Over all I thought it was great!!

great ice cream shop in old town. delicious and fresh ice cream with waffle cones. the best flavor we tried was the dirty dough. the only downside was that there were no toppings for the ice cream. we usually like getting sprinkles or gummy bears but they had no toppings. overall still a great option for ice cream in old town scottsdale

This place is an addiction! Everytime I walk in here I have a new favourite and I after tasting I also decide what I'm going to buy the next time I'm here. I recently discovered this place upon a friends recommendation. So far I love the purple star born that I have a pint at home too, the milkiest chocolate, darkest chocolate, burnt orange to name a few.

This is my new favorite ice cream shop. Wow it's good. From the cute decor of the shop, friendly staff, and fun flavors this is SO good. Today we tried the double dough (I'm a big cookie dough in ice cream lover) and this was so satisfying... Chocolate chip cookie dough swirled into a buttery brown sugar custard. Tastes like cookie dough with a side of cookie dough. This is my new fave. Sparkling Cherry Pie - Sour cherry and tingling Sichuan peppercorn ice creams with tart cherry jam and buttery shortbread crust. This was such a fun and unique flavor. Just wow. Strawberry Buttermilk - Ohio strawberries blended with cream and cultured buttermilk for subtle tartness. One of the best strawberry ice creams I've had. Lemon Bar- Punchy lemon curd, shortbread crust, and rich coconut cream. This non dairy option was so smooth and creamy. I love lemon desserts and this was so tart, I loved it. Look forward to trying more flavors! Oh and their waffle cones taste more buttery and yummy than other places. Apparently the founder Jeni literally has the James Beard Award for her ice cream recipes so you know it's good.

This place is so aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The ice cream is so creamy and so good. Not to mention SOFT! Just the scoops are so cute. Let's not forget to mention sustainable! Service was okay. But the ice cream makes up for it! I highly recommend the strawberry buttermilk ice cream & double dough. So creamy and just refreshing. A must visit!

Another hot day for the year and another ice cream spot for me to try! This was a very cute ice cream spot in Old Town Scottsdale. I'm familiar with this brand, from seeing their high prices at the grocery store, so I expected the high pricing to be here at their brick and mortar stores. But, with this high price tag, I also expected a high quality of ice cream for the value. The flavors were fun and creative, but the portions were pretty small compared to other local ice cream places here in the valley. I ordered the wild berry lavendar and supermoon with a waffle cone. It wasn't very wowed, but it was still good. I did notice the water station was barely refilled, and when it was, it was warm water. I would hope for ice water in our hot summers. I also did not see any tables wiped down, but I'm not sure if that's a priority for the day shift. If you're a fan of the brand, you might like this place. But if you are just looking for ice cream to cool off, then I would recommend visiting locally owned and operated establishments.

Look, we've all had ice cream. But have we all had Jeni's ice cream? They don't call it "splendid" for nothin! The flavors and textures are always on-point, so much so that I have a hard time limiting myself to just two flavors! If it weren't for my waistline, I'd get a triple scoop every time! From the moment you step into a Jeni's shop, you're greeted with an atmosphere of pure delight. The shop is clean and the staff are so friendly, eager, and knowledgable, guiding you through each tantalizing flavor. And oh, the flavors! Each one reflects the freshest and finest ingredients that they use. I especially enjoyed the Brambleberry Crisp! It's quickly becoming my go-to. The tart of the berry pairs so perfectly with the sweetness of the ice cream, resulting in a moment of pure joy. If you are looking for truly splendid ice cream, go no further.

Love the ice cream here especially since they offer fair free flavors that aren't just sorbet! Their waffle cones are delicious and the rotating flavors are perfect for someone who likes to try something new every once in a while. We like coming down here for a quick dessert after dinner in old town. The workers are always kind when we go. The service is quick even when there's a long line. The ambiance reminds me of the little family owned ice cream shop we used to go to back home. It can get a little loud when crowded but that's to be expected of a smaller space.

Love to see a Jeni's out West! I had no clue my beloved Jeni's was in Scottsdale, but couldn't have been more excited to see one of my favorite ice cream spots in Old Town. At the time, Jeni's limited edition galaxy flavors were just launching, so we decided to stop to give them a try. I love that Jeni's locations are always so generous with samples. I tried all the new flavors, and while they weren't for me, my husband did enjoy them! I ended up going with the classic combination of brown butter almond brittle and brambleberry crisp in a waffle bowl. The waffle bowls are the best of bowl worlds -- the delicious-ness of the waffle cone without the mess. I'll always be a Jeni's fan, and I'm so happy to see them take on more locations across the US!

Stopped by Jeni's Ice Cream on Valentine's Day, and even though there was a bit of a line, it moved so fast--totally worth the wait! I got the Blackout Chocolate Cake and Buttercream Birthday Cake in a waffle bowl, and wow--both were amazing! The Blackout Chocolate Cake was rich, fudgy, and ultra-decadent, while the Buttercream Birthday Cake was sweet, nostalgic, and had the perfect balance of vanilla and sprinkles. Together, they were the perfect combo. Jeni's always delivers high-quality, creamy, and bold flavors, and this visit was no different. If you're craving some of the best ice cream around, Jeni's is the move!

Walking into Jenni's you're hit with a delightful waft of buttery waffles - the handmade cones and bowls made freshly eight in front of you. The icecream selection is one-of-a-kind, and the staff encourage samples! You order 1/2 Scoops so that you can easily mix and match (or get two matching scoops). My kiddos loved Birthday Cake, and I loved the Chocolate Cake (seasonal) and the Gooey Butter Cake (apparently their top seller). I also really enjoyed the Berry Lavender, the Sweet Potato Marshmallow Praline (a seasonal dupe for my favorite Thanksgiving casserole) and the Honey Vanilla. The small shop is bright, colorful, and simple, but delivers an excellent experience!

I'm dairy free and was really looking forward to trying this place. Unfortunately, they only had 2 dairy flavors available. A chocolate and a lemon. They serve 2 half scoops "so you can sample more flavors". The 2 DF ones did not compliment each other so I asked if I could do two chocolate. It was fine. Expensive for what it is and not a huge selection if you are dairy free. They sell pints at $12 but why go to a scoop shop when you can buy them at the grocery store?

Honestly, this might be my favorite ice cream shop. The line is long, but it's so worth it. If you're a big ice cream fan, this place reminds me of Salt and Straw, but with better flavors that aren't as crazy (but are still unique!) Their peanut butter ice cream with chocolate flecks is seriously the best. Salty, sweet, and the peanut butter taste is well balanced. 10/10 And I love that they give you a little waffle cone piece with your scoops! Can't wait to go here again

Really delicious ice cream, the cake batter was delicious, service is fast and efficient, although could be nicer. There are not any places to sit down. You get your ice cream, you pay, you leave. It's not a bad area right in the middle of the 5th ave shopping district. The line gos from around the store to the ice cream and cash register. Very clean , well lit and fast.

As soon as the Coming Soon sign went up people were excitedly talking! We'll, I went today and I don't get it. It was ok. One of the freezers was broken so the flavors were limited. Although unusual creative flavors, I went for the salted peanut butter with chocolate flakes. It was ok and quite pricey. The staff were helpful and explained the flavors. My opinion is that Jeni's Splendid is average and not so splendid.

I couldn't be more thrilled with my first experience at a Jeni's scoop shop! The ice cream here is smooth and tasty with super well-crafted flavors. My favorite by far was the Darkest Chocolate flavor. I don't usually gravitate toward chocolate ice creams, but this flavor is SO rich and heavily cocoa-based. The texture is smooth and melts in your mouth too! We also tried the gooey butter cake flavor -- another favorite of mine that was creamy with delicious cake chunks -- as well as wildberry lavender, which had a mild tartness and floral notes that blended well together. Their dairy-free flavors (we got Texas sheet cake) were also surprisingly smooth and creamy! Definitely expect a line if you're coming on the weekend, but it moves fast with multiple taste test stations. You can likely snag a table inside the cute shop. Even if you can't, the shop is conveniently in Old Town near many great sitting and walking areas. Jeni's is definitely on par with my favorite out-of-town craft ice cream spots, like Wanderlust Creamery and Salt & Straw, so I'm ecstatic that they're in Arizona!

Nice ice cream corner in the center of old Scottsdale. Great variety of all sorts. This was our first time visiting the venue, but definitely not the last. The chocolate and brownie were a bit on sweeter side for my taste, but the quality is well in par with the price.

We couldn't decide what to get, so naturally, we got four. I can't pick a favorite so don't make me! They were all amazing. Cute interior with lots of room to sit, plus some walking around after in all the shops to burn the ice cream calories.. for more ice cream of course.

I love this ice cream shop! There's sooo many different flavors and lots of tables inside. They also have affogato and milk shakes. It's right in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale so you can grab some ice cream here and walk around all the cute little boutiques, restaurants, and bars. My favorite flavors are the gooey butter cake which is cream cheese flavored with vanilla cake and caramel and the coffee ice cream with cream and sugar.

Same great Jeni's ice cream that you know and love from the pints you can find in the grocery store but this time in one of their signature Buttercrisp Waffle Cone. The ice cream shop is the perfect addition to old town Scottsdale. My favorite flavors to get are the Brambleberry Crisp and the Wildberry Lavender. You can get the staple signature flavors all year around and some additional fun flavors that rotate out seasonally. This fall you can find a Sweet Potato Marshmallow that has really blown my mind. The customer service during our visit was a little lacking but with ice cream this delicious, who even cares?! We'll be back next time we're in the area for a couple scoops.

Loved their affogato special with raspberry lavender and coffee ice cream. Good seating and tons of choices.

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams never disappoint, especially when it comes to their store-bought options. The variety, including their plant-based flavors, is a huge plus for those with different dietary preferences. We opted for the option to order 3 different flavors: Brown Butter Almond Brittle, salty caramel, and Brambleberry Crisp. The Brown Butter Almond Brittle was an absolute winner, hitting the mark with its deliciousness and staying true to its flavors. Rich and indulgent, it was a delightful treat.The salty caramel was good, but was a bit too much on the sweet side for my taste. It still delivered on its promise of a flavorful caramel experience. The Brambleberry Crisp was a standout, offering a yummy blend of flavors and textures. The crispy bits added a satisfying crunch to the creaminess. The scoops here tend to run a bit smaller than what one might expect from an ice cream parlor. The space is open, airy, and spacious with plenty of seating to choose from. The staff's friendliness and willingness to offer samples further added to the positive experience. Despite the smaller scoops, the quality and variety of flavors make Jeni's a place I'd happily return to for another round!

Couldn't find the Scottsdale Quarter location on yelp but the head manager with purple hair was totally rude and negative towards her employees and it ruined the whole vibe for me and my son. I was asking her about the flavors because my son has many allergies and she seemed uninterested and she was very impatient. We asked her to use a clean scoop and we were guaranteed it was a clean scoop but my son still had an allergic reaction. This is not the way I wanted to spend my father's day!

It was nice to be able to have a sweet treat after leaving the bars. The staff members were super friendly and kept the place nice and clean. I wish they did have milkshakes that would have definitely hit the spot. But we were recommended to try this place. I possibly would go back again if we ever go back to AZ! Definitely a lot of variety.

Don't remember when I visited for the first time but in the last 2 months, I have been here 5 times even if I had to drive for 32 miles from North. My all time favorite is the Butter Gooey and I try new combinations every time I go there. Now, they are opening a new location in the north on North Scottsdale in Scottsdale Quarter. I introduced this ice cream to all my friends and now it's their go-to place. Highly recommended.

Delicious ice cream at a reasonable price for artisanal flavors. My favorite was their seasonal Merry Berry. The tartness was a perfect balance to the sweetness of the other two. I could eat a whole pint! Wild berry lavender just the perfect amount of lavender to where you can taste it but it doesn't overpower everything. Bramble berry had nice chunks of oat streusel which added a different texture. Honestly, a wonderful house made salted waffle bowl with the three options. The salt really brings out the sweetness of the ice cream. The shop was also very clean and had cute wall art. A fun place to chill with friends!

Sooo many choices, and what a lovely story. The ice cream flavors are unique and tasty. Some of the flavor combinations I would not have thought of to pair together, but they work out. Jeni's is great for groups and indoor seating. The establishment is spacious and organized.
