Maike PlotnikApril 17, 2016It's great and they even make their corns by themselves! You can taste each flavour / it's worth the waiting and the price!

ChicagoistMarch 18, 2015There are too many choices to try in just one visit, including Pistachio and Honey, Intelligentsia Black Cat Espresso, Goat Cheese and Cherries and even a Riesling Poached Pear Sorbet. Read more
Lucille FisherOctober 17, 2016One of the best quality ice cream I've had! Unique flavors, brilliant combinations. A must stop every time I'm in the area.
ElenaJuly 2, 2016Line at the entrance tells you something. Quality ingredients, creative flavors, one of the best ice cream places in the city!
It's not always in season, but the goat cheese with cherries is phenomenal. My wife recommends the milkiest chocolate...and she's normally a dark chocolate fan!- Heather BellJune 24, 2016Lemon blueberry. Best ice cream my mouth has ever tasted. I've honestly never had ice cream packed with that much flavor. So good & a summertime must. 😍
MarlonAugust 17, 2015Tasty. I fell for the waffle cone upgrade. Watching them make them lured me in... Skip that and save a few bucks. The ice cream is the real star here.
Steven VanceJanuary 18, 2017Delicious ice cream sandwiches but Potbelly will sell you one for half the price (and it'll have been made on-site).
Allan MarshallFebruary 4, 2017To add to what Steven Vance said, Scooter's Custard is also cheaper vs. Jeni's, and open from early March to late November. And they sell cookie custard sandwiches!
Jeni's has rotating favorite flavors as well as limited-edition flavors. You might miss one or all if you don't come in often enough.- Erin BApril 5, 2015Must try flavours include Riesling Poached Pear, Goats Cheese and Cherries, and The Buckeye State. Best ice cream on the planet!
Fallon LeybaJune 21, 2021waffle cones are the main selling point, there’s plenty of specialty gelato in chicago
Christine T.May 25, 2015I tried the sweet cream and espresso flavors and both were delicious. Some of the best ice cream I've had.- Even on weekday nights, the line will extend well outside the door. So be prepared for a wait that is more than worth it.
- Josh SciannaOctober 3, 2017Usually quite crowded, but their selection of creative flavors makes it worth the wait. Try their bramble berry ice cream!
Jeff EarlyDecember 11, 2015Best ice cream hands down. Creative flavors, I ran across this when I went to Columbus Ohio for work. Worth the $$$
Leia SopataJuly 29, 2019Best ice cream in the whole world. Atlantic pie and rainbow buttermilk frozen yogurt are bomb.
Diego ReynosoSeptember 18, 2015Great ice cream, made from scratch try the salted caramel, incredible
Try the wildberry lavender. It's my go to every time I stop by.
Heather WilliamsApril 11, 2015The savannah buttermint and the intelligentsia black cat espresso pair very well in my opinion.
Katherine M.July 14, 2015Wonderful Midwestern ice cream. Compares favorably with anything in SF, LA, NYC.
Amy RobertsonJune 5, 2016Waffle cones are delightful-- and they have flavors from sweet to tangy to bitter
TheOutOfTownerSeptember 19, 2021A few flavours seem to be running low but 2 half scoops - darkest chocolate and gooey butter cake saved the day
For those lactose intolerant, there are at least 2-3 delicious options for you.- Do try samples. There are so many interesting flavors, I cannot just recommend one.
