Customer Reviews
Such a fun spot for ice cream with seriously cool flavors. We stopped in on a whim and it ended up being the cherry on top of our night. Huge shout-out to Ben, who went above and beyond—he noticed my wife’s service dog eyeing her ice cream and surprised him with his own little scoop of vanilla. Safe to say it made his entire day. Great service, great vibe, and even better ice cream. We’ll definitely be back.
Jeni’s was one of the best ice cream shops I’ve been to. Their waffle cones have a unique flavor like they are homemade. They have an extra bit of sweetness which makes them stand out. I tried the vanilla honey kids size and my daughter and I shared it. It was phenomenal. Not overly sweet, the flavor was really nice. The workers were very nice and helpful. Price was fair for a kids size. I will be back in the future for more.
Jeni’s ice cream has always been my favorite ice cream shop in downtown Charleston. I’ve always said that Jeni’s is quality cream and it really shows through in all of their flavors. The quality of ice cream here is unmatched and their unique flavors can’t be beat by any other ice cream place. Jeni’s can be a but pricey but I believe it’s because they use high quality ingredients. Even down to the tasting spoons which are metal and reusable- this entire place gives the impression of good quality ingredients and materials. My favorite flavors are Bramble Berry, Goat Cheese & Cherries, Cream Puff, Birthday Cake, and Darkest Chocolate. Really you can’t go wrong with any of the flavors there! They’re so great!
Although it’s a chain, this is a quality ice cream experience. The flavors are unique, and the approach to ice cream is pure. The napkins even explain their philosophy on taste and texture. The ice cream was creamy and there was no hint of ice crystals. The service was friendly, and you can feel free to taste any flavors -and you might need to given some of the seemingly strange flavors available. A good choice amongst several shops nearby.
This ice cream shop has a wonderful offering of unique and classic flavors. The quality of the ice cream is very good and the waffle cone was freshly made, it was nice and crispy without being brittle. The only downside is that when it's hot outside, ice cream starts to perforate through the sides of the waffle cone. I recommend getting both a cup alongside your cone so you don't drip everywhere. I love how this shop uses metal tasting spoons, that's a huge plus for being environmentally conscious especially for a town so close to the sea.All the staff are friendly and can move the line along fast.
