Update, 6/23: Sun-Popped Corn ice cream will be back in scoops and pints this Friday, June 24.

Originally published 6/5/2016 We care a lot about what ingredients we use in our…
Recently, we changed the name of The Buckeye State to Salted Peanut Butter with Chocolate Flecks to better reflect the ingredients. What will never change is the ice cream’s original inspiration: Buckeye candies, those rich, chocolate-covered peanut butter balls that take their look and name from actual Buckeyes, the (inedible) nuts of Ohio’s official tree, the Ohio…
These days in the shops every sundae is served with a conversation-starting Convo Cookie. Each one has a different question inside, and one in particular seems to be a contender for the most-popular of the lot: What 5 albums would you bring to a desert island? How you approach the answer is up to you, of…
New in our Columbus shops today—and across the country in our other shops in the coming weeks—is Salted Peanut Butter with Chocolate Flecks, the ice cream formerly known as The Buckeye State. (Note: Our Columbus Commons and German Village walk-ups don’t have it on the menu yet.) Savory-sweet with creamy-crunchy texture, it features exactly what…

1) THE ILLUSTRATOR BREXBOLEX Beautiful, just beautiful: Brexbolex’s Seasons. The French illustrator’s book pairs well with every season, especially spring. 2) THE GREASY HANDS PREACHERS We’re down with anything that features footage of Utah’s freaky sci-fi landscape, the Bonneville Salt Flats: 3) FLY GOLDEN EAGLE In heavy rotation at Jeni’s Mothership, Quartz Bijou, the rollicking…
In celebration of the opening of our first West Coast shop, this week’s edition of 5 Friday Scoops centers on a quintet of L.A. things we love—some from the week that was, some from recent visits, and some from years gone by. Here we go: 1) THE TAO OF VAN HALEN, 1978-1984 “I live my life…
The kitchen, bakery, and shipping squads. The accounting, social media, and sales troupes. Jeni has always referred to those who bring the ice cream to life and get it to you, the people, as “rock stars.” So, when we moved the Jeni’s Mothership to a base near the North Market late last year, we knew we…
We’ve got a lot going on these days in Los Angeles. Our Los Feliz shop—our first-ever West Coast spot—will open soon. Stay tuned!
