Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream, The Westside

Of course I would be the one to be writing about ice cream and its deliciousness after the second wave of the polar vortex. I am not a seasonal eater of ice cream, I like to think of myself of as a true fan thus I indulge in ice cream year round. While Jeni’s ice cream is originally from Columbus, Ohio it is slowly expanding to more states. One of its most recent locations is in Atlanta and I couldn’t be more happy. I started eating Jeni’s while in college but once I left Ohio it was nowhere to be found. Distance definitely makes the heart grow fonder.

I went late on a week night as I didn’t want to be rushed in picking flavors, good decisions take time. My go to is The Buckeye State, which is peanut butter ice cream with pieces of dark chocolate. However, since this was my first time in a scoop shop I thought it was best to taste around. I tried the Egg Nog & Salted Caramel but I ended up getting  a scoop of the following three: Black Coffee, Brown Butter Almond Brittle, & Dark Chocolate. While I didn’t plan on all going together they complemented each other pretty well!

The store is small but it has excellent ice cream, coffee from Atlanta’s own Batdorf & Bronson, and wonderful service. The store is also open til 11pm so no need to have the early bird special if you want to go here for dessert.
