Personally, I can't get enough of the salty-sweet pleasure that comes from eating Sea Salt Caramels and, with the exception of a handful of people who don't seem to like caramel in any form, they're popular with everyone who tries them. So, when Faith, a commenter, mentioned that there was a shop that sold salty caramel ice cream, it sounded like a tip that was worth checking out. Jeni's Fresh Ice Creams does indeed carry Salty Caramel Ice Cream as one of their signature flavors, but their other flavors sound equally as impressive. They include:
- Gravel Road - salty caramel with chopped smoked almonds added
- Honey Vanilla Bean - simple and delicate, with Ohio honey and Madagascar vanilla
- Queen City Cayenne - milk chocolate "Cincinnati style" ice cream with cayenne and cinnamon
- Thai Chili - Krema peanut butter with toasted coconut, cayenne and coconut milk
- Black Coffee - cream steeped with just-roasted coffee (no water). "It tastes like coffee smells."

there's another ice cream shop that sells salty caramel in columbus, and i prefer it over Jeni's: Denise's Ice Cream (http://www.denisesicecream.com/). actually, i prefer Denise's over Jeni's any day.

Curse you, Columbus! I was just there last month and didn't know there was ice cream to be eating. Sigh.

Jeni's is fantastic, and almost makes me wish I hadn't left Columbus. Other recent favorite icecream flavors from Jeni's:
• Dark Chocolate Zinfandel
• Saigon Cinnamon (red hot!)
• Marscapone Cheese and Honey
• Gorgonzola and Pear
• Candied Beet and Honey

Jeni's is fantastic. I'm not even a fan of ice cream and I will eat at her counter every time.
Denise's on the other hand, while mere steps from my home, is not a place I'd frequent. Their flavors are derivative, their business practices suspect. Jeni's wins hands down -- for flavor, quality, and friendliness -- anyday.

Oy vey! Jeni's is so much better than Denise's...
Ditto on Amy's "suspect business practices" observation. Jeni is the real deal. Stan, on the other hand...
