Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams

We held a business event here with our chamber and it was great. Such great flavors, fun atmosphere, great staff. I love how they structure it so you get two flavors. Super fun.

Avery was so kind, helpful, and knowledgeable! Made this such a great experience! Thank you Avery 🤍

The chocolate ice-cream and vanilla bean is amazing

It's always a delight getting ice cream here! The lines might be long but I love the different flavors 😋

I stop by Jeni’s every weekend for a scoop of Double Dough - one of my favorite ice cream flavors ever.

When I am even remotely close to a Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream, I always stop in for the 4 scoop study or sampler. My favorite flavor is the Jeni's Rainbow Buttermilk Frozen Yogurt. It's a blend of raspberry, key lime, and passion fruit yogurts, combined with fresh yogurt and cultured buttermilk for a unique, bouncy texture. Tart and delicious! We also ordered Goose Tracks, their take on black raspberry chocolate chip, and it was delicious! Richard n to Jeni's and thank me later! ✌️

Great service and flavors!

Amazing ice cream!!! Try the salted caramel..mmmmm...

Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams – Sweet Treats in a Stylish Setting

Located at The Beacon La Costa, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams brings its famous flavors to this vibrant and upscale plaza, attracting crowds—especially families and sweet-tooth lovers.

The store’s modern interior features wooden seating, warm yellow lighting, and a clean, inviting vibe that makes indulging in ice cream feel a little extra special. The plaza lights at night add a touch of charm, turning even a quick dessert stop into a cozy outing.

Jeni’s offers a wide selection of classic and seasonal flavors. The staff were incredibly friendly and patient with my flavor sampling. The fruit-based scoops leaned on the tart side, while the Honey Vanilla Bean, Salty Caramel, and Brown Butter Almond Brittle stood out for their smooth texture and rich taste.

I tried three scoops in a waffle bowl, but found the bowl itself overly sweet, especially paired with already sweetened ice cream. That said, the flavor quality and presentation were impressive. The only caveat: it’s a bit pricey at $11 for a three-scoop combo, but worth it for a special treat.

Parking is easy, with plenty of spots close by, and there's bench seating outside that’s great for relaxing—plus it seems pet-friendly too, making it a great spot for a walk-and-snack experience.

If you're in Carlsbad and craving a delicious, thoughtfully crafted scoop, Jeni’s is definitely worth the stop.

We love Jeni’s! Best flavors and staff! Caroline is the best - friendly, sweet and great service! Thanks Caroline!

Jeni's ice cream is always fantastic and the staff is amazing and super friendly. Incredible quality and delicious ice cream, you can go wrong!

I think it's the best ice cream. Also the servers are incredibly nice and willing to engage about the ice cream. They don't skimp on the samples. Highly recommend the waffle cone tostada bowl.

Great ice cream. It is on the sweet side. I like their Darkest Chocolate flavor
