"The Ohio-based ice cream chain with a cult following is known for flavors like brambleberry crisp, gooey butter cake, and a buttermilk rainbow sorbet. Stop by any of its six area scoop shops (14th Street NW, Arlington, Old Town, Bethesda, Barracks Row, and Tysons) for takeout, or go the delivery route for pints at your door." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
"Considering how hot it is, nothing sounds better than ice cream on the Fourth of July. This summer, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams debuted a new seasonal flavor dubbed Sparkling Cherry Pie. An innovative take on an American classic, it combines sour Michigan cherry ice cream, sweet-tart cherry jam, crumbly shortbread, and a hint of Sichuan peppercorn to mimic the fizz of a sparkler." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"The question was never which ice cream shop President Joe Biden would first visit in D.C. The question was when Biden would make his way over to Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream. In fact, it was nearly a year-to-the-day from when the Columbus Monthly published Jeni’s and Joe Biden: A Love Story that Biden stopped in to the Barracks Row outpost of the Ohio-based chain for a scoop of chocolate with peanut butter flecks and a scoop of blackout chocolate cake in a waffle cone. Biden’s relationship with the ice cream company’s James Beard Award-winning founder Jeni Britton Bauer goes back at least to 2012. In 2016, the then-vice president even visited Jeni’s headquarters in Columbus, Ohio to hold a press conference about wages." - Eater Staff
"The national chain’s store near the U Street corridor is selling pint collections ($58 to $68) to supply ice cream hoarders. Find Boston cream pie, gooey butter cake, and other rich pints for pickup or delivery in its online shop. Complete the order with sugar cones, caramel sauce and sprinkles, or merch." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"The only other D.C. area location sits along the bustling 14th Street NW corridor (1925 14th Street NW), complete with colorful wallpaper and two stories." - Tierney Plumb
