Just a lil ice cream shop in Larchmont village with some unique flavors to choose from- not the classic ones you'd see somewhere common like at Thrifty or Cold Stone. I tried the gooey butter cake and coffee with cream and sugar and it was SOOOO GOOD! Personally it is a bit TOO SWEET, however the flavors were definitely appetizing. I would come back! Just wish it'd be less sweeter (and I have MAJOR sweet tooth).

Very good but a little overpriced. They have lots of nice seating available outside and it's always fun to eat while walking around larchmont. The line is sometimes long, but they move quickly and efficiently

Looking for chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry? Well, you might not find those exact flavors at Jeni's. But they have dark chocolate truffle, honey vanilla bean, and brambleberry if you're okay with that! This creative scoop shop is along Larchmont Boulevard, close to a bunch of trendy boutiques and eateries. Parking is usually a challenge, but there were lots of open spaces during the evening. There are meters and paid lots scatter around. I found a free spot on 1st Street near the Chase bank branch, which was less than a minute on foot. No indoor seating, but there's an outdoor patio in the back with tables. And there's one small bench facing the street. Jeni's has close to twenty ice cream flavors to choose from, with a handful of dairy free options. I got to sample a few, they were patient and I never felt rushed. Each one is unique, and all use high quality ingredients. Gooey Butter Cake - prominent but pleasant caramel butterscotch taste Brambleberry Crisp - creamy vanilla mixed with tart jam Darkest Chocolate - pure cocoa flavor, not too bitter or sweet Only thing I didn't like was the buttercrisp waffle bowl because it was super salty. The sweetness from the ice cream was not enough to offset it, so I ended up throwing the rest of my bowl in the trash after I was done. Thought it was a one-off, but one of my friends got a cone and said the same thing. Besides that, the flavors were indeed splendid! Pick up a pint before you go home!

i've been going to this jeni's for a few years and the service is always phenomenal. there's always a new flavor to try and this time it was hot toddy. i was intrigued and tried it and was so pleasantly surprised!! it felt like an adult minute maid frozen lemonade. also i highly recommend the wild berry lavender; i truly cannot go to jenis without it. it's very cute inside and they have an outdoor patio. but can get kinda crowded when it's busy.

This was a great find. It hit the spot after all you could eat Korean barbecue. The flavors were so amazing. It was so smooth and palatable. My family and I all got different flavors so it a played out like a sampler bar which is more of what I was looking for. You can't go wrong with your choices here.

I ordered the affogato with the birthday cake ice cream. Their ice cream was delightful but the espresso shot was weak. It was not a dealbreaker, but it was noticeable because their espresso shots didn't stand up to the sweetness of the ice cream. The service was quick and friendly. Our server was helpful in letting us all get samples to try. She was great at multi-tasking and didn't look annoyed with how indecisive we were. I appreciated that a lot. There are lots of benches nearby for you to sit and eat your desserts. If you walk a bit farther, you'll see large tables with benches - perfect for large groups like ours. Jeni's is a family favorite and will always be our number 1 go-to for ice cream.

First time trying out this location, and Jeni's never disappoints. The customer service was excellent, and the interior was clean. They introduced new, delicious flavors, but I stuck with my go-to, the Gooey Butter Cake. It's delightful with pieces of yellow cake in the ice cream. Overall, a great spot for dessert after lunch or dinner."

Ok so I'm sure you have all heard enough about the ice cream... it's amazing. BUT I am here to talk about someone named LP he works there-he seems to work often because I see him frequently, okay so I go there A LOT. I take all my friends and blah blah blah. I just want to say LP is consistently patient, kind, engaging, helpful, and is just as sweet as the ice cream! He is so great that you would think he owns this place! He's THAT good at his job. Anyway thats all. Have a nice day?

The icecream at Jeni's is the best I've ever had. The gooey butter cake had the perflect blend of richness and comfort. The staff was also friendly and allow you to try as many samples as you would like. There is a somewhat hidden sitting area in the back with nice aesthetics.

Service is amazing. The flavors are IMPECCABLE. So decadent and rich. I highly recommend and return every chance I get

Best ice cream you can treat yourself to. There are not any bad choices here even the dairy free are rich and flavorful. Make a trip to buy a cup or pint of the best ice cream around.

We were looking for an ice cream place that stayed open late and we found it. Awesome staff, cute place. We sat in the pavilion outside the shop and it was fun. Really yummy ice cream. Just the kind of late night snack experience we were looking for!

I really wanted to love this ice cream spot. The website listed so many fun flavors that I was looking forward to trying. Out of all of them, there were only a handful that I could actually get a scoop of in store. Most, if not all, of the best flavors you had to buy by the quart (which is, in my opinion, extremely overpriced). I ended up paying $17 for two people to each have a scoop in a cone which I think is ridiculous given that the scoops were fairly small and there weren't many options. I've had Jeni's before and have been disappointed. I think the quality of the ice cream is fairly good, especially if you find a flavor that you like. But, the lack of selection in flavors and the lack of availability of the advertised flavors on the website made me leave the review that I did. The service at this location was great -- the employee was nice and I appreciate their reusable tasting spoons to save the environment a little bit. However, there is no seating for this location indoors so you might want to save your visit for a warmer day when you're walking around outside and feel like you could sit on the bench and enjoy a scoop. That being said, I think there are much better dessert options on this block.

The brambleberry crisp is out of this world. I love that you can get a child sized scoop with a small waffle cone triangle. So you really don’t have any excuse to not to try it when you can get such a teeny serving. I’m not even a fruit flavored ice cream girlie. I prefer vanilla, chocolate, Oreo, but the brambleberry crisp is a game changer.

Jeni's is probably my favorite ice cream spot in a city that is blessed to have a wide variety of choices when it comes to ice cream, gelato, frozen yogurt, and other frozen desserts. What really sets this place apart for me is the wide array of unique and tasty flavors and their impeccable customer service. Pop on in to sample their various offerings, many of which vary from season to season based on what's in season. They also sell pints of their most popular flavors for you to enjoy at home! This location doesn't have its own dedicated parking lot so you may have to drive up and down the street to snag a metered spot. Enjoy your cup or cone in their back patio or take a nice stroll up the street to Levain Bakery for a cookie! It's a dream combo that can't be beat!
