Such a great spot for a quick dessert after shopping and eating at the runway playa vista! This spot is tucked away in a corner but always delivers on delicious and refreshing flavors! The service is fast and friendly and the ambiance is great with small stores and bars right next to it. Great place to check out after grabbing a few bites and drinks. My favorite flavor is their brown butter almond brittle but their vanilla is also one of the cleanest vanilla ice creams I've had.

Haiku: Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams Join their free rewards Free ice cream on your birthday Lots unique flavors. --- Tip: Download their app, add your birthday, and come in for a free scoop (or a trio sampler!) For me, coming to Jeni's is a super special treat. It's a far drive, but the rich, decadent, and unique flavors make the trip well worth it. I love that Jeni uses whole ingredients and dairy from grass-pastured cows. You can taste the quality in the ice cream. My go-to ice cream flavors are: - Brambleberry Crisp: This is like a brambleberry pie, a la mode. It's an oven-toasted oat streusel swirled with brambleberry jam and vanilla ice cream. The flavors and textures work so well with each other. - Darkest Chocolate: Chocolate lovers unite. Every bite of this is overflowing with rich, bittersweet chocolate flavor. - Brown Butter Almond Brittle: If you like sweet & salty, this is your bite. It's rich buttercream ice cream sprinkled with handmade almond brittle to create this sweet, salty, and crunchy dessert. - Frose Sorbet: This non-alcoholic frose sorbet is my daughter's absolutely favorite flavor. The frozen rose is paired with pear, strawberry, and watermelon. It's refreshingly addictive. She keeps asking for more. This Jeni's ice cream location is at the Free Market at Runway in Playa Vista. It's located in a retail hall with shops, dining, and pop-ups. The only downside is that there isn't a designated seating area in the shop. I usually sit outside where there are tables and chairs.

Dude that was helping us was a bit rude. I think because we came in close to closing he was in a bad mood. He also said “he was out of samples” which doesn’t make sense.

I'm have a soft spot for Jeni's. It's located inside the runway and rarely ever a line. Parking is either street or a little parking area in front.

Great interesting selection of ice cream flavors at a fun little spot inside The Runway. The servers were really sweet, let me sample most of the flavors since I couldn't make up my mind. Stood there for a long time trying to limit myself to two flavors for a split cup. I got the honey vanilla and bramble berry crisp as I thought they would complement each other well. Boy was it delicious! They also have a birthday promotion, you get the Signature (aka three scoops) for free, if you show up on your birthday and present your ID.

I'm a big fan of Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams. I feel at this point that I've pretty much been every one of their locations in LA (also sad to see that the Venice - Rose location closed). The ice at these places are always high quality and consistent. The service seems to always be friendly and this location is no exception. This location is located within an indoor section of the Runway Playa Vista center and on a Sunday night, the place was pretty chill. It was also kinda cold and rainy outside, so maybe it wasn't the best conditions for ice cream? I personally like this location, because it's in the same spot as the movie theater I go to quite often. I got the 'Signature' - or three scoops - Brambleberry Crisp, Gooey Butter Cake, and Hot Toddy. I've had the gooey butter cake and brambleberry previously and they're always a great go to. I wanted to try the hot toddy, so that's why I had it as my third scoop. Okay...so here's a little secret...and I'm not sure how secret it is, but my friend told me that on your birthday, they treat you to the Signature or three scoops of ice cream! So fun! I feel like I've been to several of their locations many times before, so I was okay with treating myself to this generous gift.

I am totally addicted to Jeni's ice cream, and they know it. It's their fault I'm addicted. They need to stop making amazing ice cream. The first time I tried it was in Tampa. Well my son is addicted too and he took it to a whole new level. We went back home to Connecticut, and he started ordering the ice cream and having it shipped to our house from Florida. They can ship it any where and it arrives at your home frozen. Luckily they sell it in Atlanta where he goes to college. Having it Ubered to his dorm is a lot cheaper than shipping. I moved to Cali where they have a few stores, and I go every week and stock up because, well you know...I'm addicted. My two favorite flavors are Bramberry Crisp and Brown Butter Almond Brittle. AMAZING! The store in Playa Vista has very nice and helpful employees. The ambiance is this delicious smell of waffle cones and bowls being made. It's all a part of what will draw you in and make you addicted. This is the one time it's ok to be addicted. In fact I think there should be a diet of just Jeni's Ice Cream. Spoken like a true addict. I know! I wish I could be sorry about it but as you can see I'm not. Now put your phone down, well wait pick your phone back up and Google the closest Jeni's store to you, and get your behind over there.
From humble beginnings in the North Market to calculated nationwide expansion Jeni’s will always hold a special place in the heart of this Buckeye, every visit since senior year of college offering something new and delicious and on this sunny Saturday highlighted by classic Salty Caramel juxtaposing Brambleberry Crisp.

The delicious smell of waffles will lead you to this hidden gem. PJ and Virginia were holding it down during my visit! They were so kind and so knowledgeable! There wasn't a line when I arrived but large groups would come in waves craving ice cream. Their flavors are clean and distinct, not like other ice cream brands that taste muddled. I sampled a handful of flavors which made deciding a challenge. All their chocolate flavors were delicious! I decided on their darkest chocolate flavor. It was so luscious and not overly sweet. It is difficult for me to find a good chocolate ice cream. I also loved their Brambleberry Crisp and Gooey Butter Cake! Even though this location is smaller, it was clean and so welcoming! There was plenty of seating areas and I was protected from the freezing cold area. I'll be coming back!

The most expensive and most delicious ice cream I have ever had in my life! It was about $12 for 3 half scoops so I was able to get the Brambleberry Crisp, Gooey Butter Cake, and the Brown Butter Almond Brittle. I talked about this ice cream for days after and recommended it to all my friends. This place is a real treat. The staff were very accommodating of me trying all the flavors under the sun.

Ice cream is incredible as always. I did the Boozy Egg Nog and Intense Chocolate…what a combo son.
