“Had to write a review, visiting Nashville stopped in for Ice Cream was served by a lovely lady Taylor, very helpful and super friendly. Largest scoop in history, great ice cream. Thanks Taylor, you’re the best.“

“Love the soft serve and dipped cones!“

“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.“

“Creamiest and most flavorful ice cream in America“

“Most laid back Jeni's in town. We're new to Nashville and found Jeni's at the Farmer's Market. But we like the East Nashville location better. Ice cream is amazing and the waffle bowls are the stuff dreams are made of.“

“Amazing and fun!! The rolled ice cream was delicious with great prices. It is such a cute building with wonderful ladies working!! We will definitely be back!!“

“Wonderful ice cream with so many flavors. I like that they serve half scoops so you can mix and match more flavor combos. The Scoop Artisan took their time helping me decide based on my input and gave me several sample scoops. The waffle cone is baked fresh in-house so the whole thing is just incredible. I’m glad I don’t live nearby haha“

“the food was absolutely delicious. highly reccomed“

“That blueberry Cream what can t say - Delicious and Great“

“I came here to say, I have never heard of this brand before but last night while shopping at my local Jay C (kroger), I stumbled across the Gluten free Gooey Butter cake ice cream and i’m so very glad I did!!! it’s delicious!!!! 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!“

“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!“

“10 out of 10! We loved the sweet, spicy and savory combo. There are several options to choose from to create the best combo for your taste buds. Highly recommended.“

“I love Jeni’s. I was here and Rose, Amelia, Sam, Knox, Oliver, Nat, Kenya, Keedy, Alea, Elyssa, Campbell, Caroline, Jenah, Kennedy, Ashley, Courtney, Rowan, Mira, and Oly made my night! Great flavor descriptions and staff was very kind. The service was… WARM. And store was sparky clean. It was unexpectedly inexpensive and I will be back soon.“

“This is one of the best smash burgers I've ever had. I usually shy away from smashburgers because they aren't juicy, but this smash burger is AMAZING. The employees were all so friendly and the place is super cute. I also had a Nemo Sushi milkshake (blueberry banana) was also delicious. My husband's chocolate milkshake was so chocolatey. He also loved his cheeseburger, and he's picky. The Baam sauce was a delight.“

“Who needs the club when you can party with pastry!!! The Baked Bear delivered a polar play on fresh baked cookies and ice cream!! So many combinations but I’ll always do for caramel with a bit of cookie. Kyle was the bomb and helped us out with great customer service. Perfect night time treat.“

“Had an awesome waffle cone filled with their seasonal Bourbon Cherry Pie Ice Cream. It was delicious & the young lady working the counter, had the sweetest smile & best attitude. Love supporting local shops. Go give them a try.“

“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.“

“The owner was very happy to serve us even though we accidentally showed up close to closing time. She offered us a couple of tastes and answered my questions about some of the names I did not recognize. So many choices and all of the recipes and ice cream itself are made by the owner and family so it’s truly a unique and delicious experience. I truly do not ever plan to purchase a store-bought tub of ice cream ever again.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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“

“Muy rico todo Buen servicio y muy amables“

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

“Such a pleasure to visit this place. The Marble Slab Creamy & Great American Cookies have amazing selections or really good and satisfying ice cream flavors and sorbets you do not want to miss. It's a place that combines taste, tradition, and social experience in a unique setting designed to delight customers of all ages. Whether you're indulging in a classic cone? or exploring innovative flavors, this place is a destination that promises sweetness and convenience.“

“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!“

“amazing pastries made from scratch“

“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.“

“First time visiting this store my experience was good, Staffs was welcoming as they greet you when you enter. Tiffany was my server think she was the lead or something by my supervision, She was very polite and customer friendly good sales person too, I’ll definitely be visiting back cookie’s freshly baked “

“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.“

“the iced peach tea here is a game changer. Super refreshing, perfectly balanced (not too sweet!), and made with real fruit — you can literally taste the difference.

And the burger? Juicy, flavorful, and stacked just right. Honestly puts most fast food joints to shame. The bun was toasted just enough, and the ingredients felt fresh, not processed. It’s the kind of burger that actually leaves you satisfied without the guilt.

Plus, the service was top-notch — friendly, fast, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell they care about what they’re serving and how you’re treated.“
