Jeni's Fresh Ice Creams

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 are also a number of limited-time seasonal creations at Jeni's, including Lemon Yogurt and Fresh Cranberry Sauce, Farmer's Market Apple Cider Sorbet, Butternut Squash with Pecan Pralines, Goat's Cheese with Figs and Port and Toasted Brioche with Butter and Jam (yes, they're all ice creams). Jeni's has two locations in Columbus, Ohio and you can order all of their flavors online.

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.

Ditto on Amy's "suspect business practices" observation. Jeni is the real deal. Stan, on the other hand...
