Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams — Restaurant in West Chicago Township

HEY NOW! HEY NOWWWW! THIS IS WHAT DREAAAAAMSSSS ARE MADE OF!!

Sorry for that brief moment of nostalgia, but truly there is no other way to describe the ice cream at Jeni's, other than dreamlike.

Me and one of my girlfriends visited the parlor on a Saturday afternoon and although there was a line, it diminished rather quickly. I didn't really even notice the line because I was too busy marveling over all of the incredible and unique sounding flavors of ice cream and sorbet offered during this time.

The staff here were all super friendly and bubbly. I mean, it's understandable considering they get to play with ice cream all day and make people happy in doing so!

I opted for the sweet cream and lemon buttermilk frozen yogurt, in a cup with a complimentary waffle crisp.

Y'all. Upon first bite of mixing the two flavors, I was immediately transported back to the 90s growing up in the south and remembering the days of summer camps where they would make us sell lemonade for fundraisers and the counselors would bring us those white individually packaged vanilla ice cream cups to reward us for our hard work. Those days were golden, and the fact that Jeni's ice cream could take me there based on flavor and quality alone is something that you just can't pull off without tenacity and skill.

I will journey to Wicker Park often just to go here. It is worth every penny (not even that expensive) and truly unmatched as far as I can tell by living in the city for...

I recently visited Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams, and I must say, it was an absolute delight. The attention to detail and quality of ingredients truly shine through in every aspect of their ice cream. I ordered a waffle cone with dark chocolate ice cream and it was a truly delightful experience. The dark chocolate ice cream was bursting with rich and intense flavor, making it an absolute treat for chocolate lovers like me. The smooth and creamy texture of the ice cream was perfectly complemented by the indulgent taste of the dark chocolate. It was not overly sweet, allowing the natural richness of the chocolate to shine through. But What truly set this ice cream apart was the waffle cone, The cone itself was expertly crafted, boasting a delicate crispness that added a satisfying crunch to each mouthful and with each bite I was greeted by a symphony of sweet and salty flavors that lingered on my palate, leaving me wanting more. The combination of the dark chocolate ice cream and the waffle cone created a harmonious balance of tastes and textures that made the experience truly memorable. My order from Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams exceeded my expectations. The waffle cone with dark chocolate ice cream was a heavenly combination that left me craving for more. I highly recommend trying this flavor and exploring the wide array of offerings from Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams. It is an experience that will undoubtedly leave you satisfied and eager to come...

Anything that has a cult following makes me a little skeptical. I’ve been to a few different Jeni’s locations in the city, and have been underwhelmed by the experience. However, my friend and I stopped in today for some celebratory ice cream during a friendship reunion, and I now feel like a Jeni’s evangelist. To start, the limited edition offerings were inventive and incredible. We highly recommend Golden Nectar, which you might think would be a honey-something ray of sunshine, but instead has an amazing chai base that pairs with summer fruits for that end of season goodness. But more importantly, we’d like to give a shout out to our flavor facilitator, M (Em? sorry we missed your exact name - you were already on break!), who made the experience an overall DELIGHT. We walked in and M was busy at the waffle maker, creating cones for customers with a smile on her face. She did a stand-up job in providing us with sample after sample before we made our final decisions, patiently explaining the profiles for each treat, and expressed her gratitude that we had come into the shop for the day. After my friend’s waffle bowl had a structural defect, M creatively crafted a patch to avoid losing any scoops. It is hard work to be in the service industry, and we would like to applaud M for a...
