Best place to get ice cream in Chicago. The waffle cones are heaven. The ice cream is five star delicious and oh so creamy. The employees are super friendly, cool, and collected. The lines are long but move very quickly. It is worth the wait.

This was the best ice cream I've ever tasted. Simply delicious - from the ice cream scoop to the crispy waffle. Particularly good: the opportunity to try out ice cream flavors before ordering.

What I love most about getting back into spring/summer times. I've wanted to visit here when I was pregnant an never got to until today. Darkest Chocolate was today's flavor it was smooth and really delicious. The look on the cashiers face when I said they can pick my flavor cause ive never been here they were ecstatic. They gave me a warm waffle cone with it. Even thought I was a tourist with my fancy interview clothes?? I will definitely be back.

We got the "flight". Yep! 10 Scoops of ice cream..it was incredible. The ice cream is delicious and getting to try 10 flavors...a dream come true. I don't even know where to start...I am getting frutier with age so I loved the rainbow yogurt, wildberry lavender and the brambleberry crumble. The peanut butter with chocolate flakes was good and so was the coffee with cream and sugar. The flight has 10 set flavors but they allow you to switch one or two if you would prefer to try something else. We tried Banana French toast and Jelly Donut. They were our least favorite but still good.

Taste my new favorite ice creams -- Brambleberry Crisp, Darkest Chocolate, Salty Caramel, Brown Butter Almond Brittle, Skillet Cinnamon Roll, Gooey Butter Cake and Pineapple Upside Down Cake -- from Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at 1419 North Wells Street in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood. My wife and I can't get enough of the non-traditional, non-conventional, uniquely smooth texture and buttercream body of James Beard Award-winning ice cream maker Jeni Britton's products that feature a bright flavor and clean finish. For years, we have enjoyed Kilwin's ice creams, especially toasted coconut, butter pecan, chocolate chip cookie dough, cookies and cream and peach, but Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams offer a variety of distinctly different flavors. No vanilla or chocolate or strawberry here. There are eight other locations in Chicago -- 908 West Randolph, 871 North Wabash, 400 West Armitage, 1505 North Milwaukee, 3404 North Southport, 2512 North Milwaukee, 3657 North Clark and 5306 North Clark. Founded in 2002 in Columbus, Ohio, Jeni's is setting a new standard by which all other ice creams are judged.

I got my free birthday scoop here last year and they are really so generous with what they give you. I also love that they allow you to get free samples (as all ice cream places should, in my opinion). The salty caramel was so delicious. I also liked the honey vanilla bean and gooey butter cake flavors.
