It’s not often us Gf people get to have cake and I actually don’t care for ice cream. I rarely eat it but that has all changed thanks to Jeni’s. I love it so much I might have ate half of it in one sitting….we listen and we don’t judge 😝. A+++++++++. Please don’t stop making this!“

“I had a nice experience here. The ice cream tastes fresh and the flavors are thoughtful, the kind you actually want to slow down and enjoy. The shop wasn’t crowded, which made the whole visit feel easy and calm. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and they worked quickly without rushing you. The only thing to know is that there aren’t many places to sit, so it’s more of a quick stop than a spot to settle in.“

“Caught our attention while visiting Nashville and ended up being one of our favorite stops! Super cute place, crazy creativity and marketing. Great place to meet friends and hang out. Cereal??? I mean, ya…but so much more! Met the owner and she was so delightful as well. Can’t wait to see this catch on and be franchised. Every detail was just perfection!“

“The waffle cone with honeycomb ice cream was great. First time there and will be back.“

“Allen is the best!! I really wanted a specific ice cream cake and he went out of his way to make it. His customer service skills are unmatched and he made the most adorable cake with very little direction. This man deserves a raise because he is one of the nicest managers I have ever met that truly represents his company in a positive light! 10/10 we will be back even though we live 45mins-1hr away!“

“Really, really good mango juice and good head cheese torta. They tasted fresh, made with good ingredients, and made well. Also, the lady was so nice. I don’t know Spanish and she didn’t speak English, but she used Google Translate to take my order.“

Some yummy dessert. Love that they have dairy free ice cream but you have to ask for it, it's not on display. Make sure they heat it for you and the nifty to go containers are clutch“

“What can you say about Mattheessens? This is the best cookie place in the entire world! Was it the alcohol.... maybe, was it because the cookies are as big as your head..... potentially, was it because the cookies are fresh and absolutely delicious.... definintely!!!! If you are in the Nashville area this is, in my opinion, a place you have to stop at!“

“Just exactly what you’d expect if you visited an authentic Mexican Ice Cream / dessert parlor!

The place is spotlessly clean, the ice cream has a beautiful presentation, the servings are plenty large, and the product is delicious!

The product is made on site, in a very clean back of building ice cream shop full of chest freezers, prep tables and lots of fruit and ingredients!

I was able to take a short tour and was throughly impressed.

I visited as part of a middle school field trip and the young adults were all smiling as they ate their treats!

Excellente!“

“We had my daughter’s birthday party here two years in a row. This is a fabulous place to host a party. It is easy and affordable. The staff really took care of us on both occasions. Would highly recommend this for parties or a regular visit.“

“10/23/25 1:10 AM

I literally just ordered, received, and ate this burger. It was a very ugly burger but it was the best tasting thing I've had from a burger joint in FOREVER. The cheese was melted through the thin patties and the fries I got were perfectly salted. Also with it being open so late, and probably a good portion of people are ordering right now if arrived in no time. Definitely would try more, I got a basic cheese burger.

P.S. I didn't go into this store so I gave it a neutral star.“

“The Vanderbilt location was so accommodating for my family and went above and beyond so my children who have a lot of allergies could enjoy a sweet treat. I cant say enough great things about them! Kuddos to the wonderful servers and willingness to make our experience safe and fun!! We will go back 100 times!!“

“We got one of your cookies for our 13 year olds birthday and turned out wonderfully in design and taste. We will definitely be back!“

“By far the best Elotes in Nashville! Not can elote!!! They now make there own salsa roja for the elotes! It’s the closest to the salsa roja from Chamoys in Ft. Worth m, Texas! Plus sour cream instead of Mayonnaise! Recommend this awesome family owned business!“

“yummy New York style pizza and ice cream! dog friendly patio too!“

“To the very kind worker lady who suggested I put yellow cake in my birthday cake ice cream and then proceeded to make me the most delectable ice cream cone I have ever experienced in all my days: May your pillow always be cool. May you miss every red light. May you find a $100 bill on the sidewalk. May you be given the keys to the city. Bless you to the moon, WILL be back xoxoxo“

“Muy rico todo Buen servicio y muy amables“

“This place is expensive, even for being in a hospital, but the milkshake, brownie sundae, and even the waffle cones are so good. Most of the ice cream flavors are really good and the kids working there are very nice. Having this available after a long surgery or recovery and especially for the kids is worth the $7 milkshakes.“

“Love this place super clean and the employees were very nice

Dietary restrictions: They had had lots of options

Kid-friendliness: Nothing was harmful to kids and it was very good

Wheelchair accessibility: They had ramps that would help you get into it“

“Best donuts in Nashville! Don’t miss this place!“

“amazing pastries made from scratch“

“By husband and I came here to get some ice cream on a date night. Everything about this place was great. The staff was friendly, the ice cream was delicious & it was very clean.The only negative is the over powering smell of cleaning solution, it hits you in the face the moment you walk in.Luckily, it was a beautiful night and we were able to enjoy our ice cream outside.“

“Was able to introduce the carvel ice cream cake to my wife who has never had one before. Brought back great memories from being a kid and getting one for my summer birthday. We all loved the fudge and chocolate crunchies still layered in the middle of a chocolate and vanilla ice cream.“

“Learning line dancing from Lisa is a MUST whether you are a rank amateur or a boot-stomping pro. She replaces fear and inhibitions with fun and the only tears you shed are from laughter. Check this out! (No food rating bc we weren’t there for food).“

“Awesome!! Best ice cream ever.😍“

“big ol ice cream stuffed between two cookies“

“We came in for desert. I had mango gelato. Wife enjoyed caramel and we bought macarons to go. Cozy place. Take to go or enjoy coffee on a couch inside. Overall not bad but 4 stars only since i wasnt fond of the gelatos taste. But matter of taste and preference i guess. My wife liked hers. Food court is right above so you can come here after lunch or dinner for desert“

“Awesome!!! I’ll recommend this place!“

“You can never go wrong with this candy store! It has so much variety! 10/10 recommended by me!“

“This Crumbl shop surprised me in the best way. The quality here is on another level! Everything tasted fresh, balanced, and actually worth the hype. I’ve tried other Crumbl locations, especially in NYC, and most of them were honestly below average, so I wasn’t expecting much. But this place feels completely different. The cookies come out with the right texture, the flavors are cleaner, and you can tell the team pays attention to what they’re doing. If this had been the first Crumbl I ever visited, I would’ve formed a totally different opinion about the brand from the start“

“the food was absolutely delicious. highly reccomed“

“Great service and good ice cream 🍦“

“Delicious ice cream with and added layer of heavenly toppings.

Ice cream was really creamy. Delicious to the last scoop. Loved the unlimited toppings and the cold slab they used to mix in the toppings. Several tables and chairs are available to enjoy your ice cream. This location also sells cookies that are freshly made here.

The service could use a bit more of a friendly touch. The location aesthetics also need a bit of touch-up.

Kid-friendliness: Kids love ice cream. Different sizes available.“
