We went to Jeni's on a Tuesday evening, and there was a pretty big line, all the way out the door. But it was worth the wait, and luckily it moved pretty fast. While we were waiting, we looked at all the flavors which are listed on the boards. I ended up getting the Salty Caramel and Ndali Estate Vanilla Bean. I got mine in a homemade waffle cone, which was delicious. The salty caramel was very caramely and very salty. The vanilla was delicious. I think I liked the caramel better, but they were both amazing. We sat outside, where they have some benches and chairs. It's right underneath the el train tracks, so it's kind of noisy when the trains go by, but it was nice to sit outside there on such a nice summer night. I would give it 5 plates. Or 5 bowls. Or 5 cones, since it's ice cream we're talking about.

This is some really good ice cream. It's located on southport (under the train station). We had to wait in line for about 15 minutes, but I didn't regret it because their ice cream is so good. I got the Milkiest Chocolate in the World, and the Buckeye State. The Milkiest Chocolate in the World isn't the milkiest chocolate around, and maybe not the best chocolate ice cream around, but it tastes like a milk chocolate bar. Not a super milky chocolate bar. Even though it's delicious, it's not that milky. The Buckeye State is a peanut putter and chocolate ice cream. It's called the "Buckeye State" because it's based after a famous Ohio cookie which is a ball of peanut butter dipped in melted chocolate. I know this because my family comes from Ohio, and we often make this cookie as a snack. The Buckeye State ice cream actually does capture the authentic original cookie. So in that case I loved the Buckeye State very much and that makes my review better. The atmosphere is like a modern ice cream place. I loved the buckeye state, so I'll rate Jeni's ice cream 4 plates. The reason why I won't give 5 plates is because the Milkiest Chocolate in the World was just average chocolate ice cream. But it's overall a good ice cream place.

Jeni's is relatively new to the area. i think its been around for a year. but this is my first time going here. and i live in the area. I really liked the location right on southport. it's a perfect addition to the street. it really complements all the stores and restaurants on that block. also its steps away from the southport brown line stop. so that's convenient. Now Jeni's is a franchise they have several locations around the u.s. and i really don't like franchises so when i found out about that i was a little bummed. There was a huge line down the block so that was a pain. i walked in and i kind of liked the atmosphere but the outdoor patio is way nicer than the seating inside. i got the sun tea melon sorbet i had to get the sorbet cause i can't have milk. they had one other sorbet but it was wine flavored. you would think they would have a more kid friendly sorbet right? like a kid like me who can't have milk would love a riesling sorbet, right? Lol. Anyway i have heard mixed reviews of their ice-cream. i don't really understand what is the big deal about it. it's a good place but its not like a place where you should wait in line for 15 minutes. Also they are very expensive, seriously 5 dollars for a small ice cream! oh, I'm forgetting about the sorbet. it was good. it had a nice flavor to it but that's about. it. i don't like to give not so good reviews, but i give jeni's 3 plates.
