Ice creams built from the ground up with superlative ingredients.
About us
Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams was founded in 2002 by James Beard Award-winning cookbook author Jeni Britton. Britton’s ahead-of-the-trend vision—using whole ingredients and dairy from grass-pastured cows, rather than synthetic flavorings and commodity ice cream mix—coupled with inspired flavors, sparked the artisan ice cream movement more than a decade before it would become a top food trend. Today, Jeni’s is an award winning, certified B Corporation with scoop shops across the country, a thriving direct to consumer business, and distribution in top groceries.

NOW AVAILABLE: OPAQUE An exploration of color and flavor; a sensory experience that interrogates and immerses viewers beyond the visual, re-contextualizing the endless appeal of ice cream. Our collaboration with Brooklyn-based artist @cj_hendry blurs the lines between perception and reality. Opaque is an all-black ice cream that’s layers deep. Velvety smooth. Wildly delicious. And available now in scoop shops and online. Our Buttercrisp Waffle Cones are getting into character, too. For a limited time, we’re turning them black (naturally colored with black cocoa and fruit and vegetable juices) to bring this immersive experience to life nationwide.

In a Venn diagram comparing Jeni’s to Goose, where the circles overlap would be called Things That Bring People Together and Make People Feel Good. Music and ice cream are great connectors, and Goose Tracks is our collective ode to shared experiences that make us feel fully alive and less alone. The flavor is fresh blackberries and raspberries folded into cream, bursting with rich, bright, velvety juiciness. A little buttermilk to boost the berries’ natural tartness and make the flavor really pop. And a super-satisfying clash of bittersweet chocolate chips. Goose Tracks is now available for a limited time in Jeni’s scoop shops and online! https://lnkd.in/dG3DMrBR

Just dropped: SPRING COLLECTION! Our spring collection is a pleasure garden for the modern age. Inspired by the historic American spaces where communities gathered to conspire over ice cream. Flavors whose vibrant fruits and jewel-box colors evoke the riotous beauty of a garden in full bloom. Ice creams to delight. Linger over. And encourage revelry in every simple pleasure. It’s a lush, sprawling garden. A verdant oasis where people meander arm-in-arm down flower-lined walkways. Swap gossip beneath vine-draped gazebos. Host picnics on crisp checkered blankets. And toe-tap to live music. The beating heart of this garden? Ice cream. A rainbow of lemon and raspberry and orange, scooped into silver bowls and buttery cones. Melting into crumbs of pound cake and beds of fresh fruit. Topped with whipped cream and fizzing Champagne. All shared freely with one another. CITRUS GLAZED POUND CAKE RASPBERRY RHUBARB DELIGHT TROPICAL BLOOM The Spring Collection is now available in scoop shops nationwide, online at Jenis.com and for local delivery via the Jenis app. Here’s to more pleasures!

In 2020, faced with an unprecedented global pandemic and troubling societal issues, the team at Jeni’s was grappling with how to best be a force for good and make people feel loved during such painful and frightening times. One program developed as the result of our work in 2020 is our Jeni’s Leadership Intensive or JLI program (we call it “Jelly” for short). This annual program offers participating team members unique developmental and educational opportunities and recently concluded its 4th successful year. JLI is an intense week-long program that covers Public Speaking, Business/Finance, Brand Marketing, Customer Service, and Leadership & Management; more subtly but very meaningfully, it also covers believing in yourself, your voice, and in your power to make a positive difference in your own life, in the lives of others, and in the world. Congratulations to our JLI graduates from ‘22, ‘23, ‘24, and ‘25, and thank you to Jocy Upton, Jordan Mork, Megan Duffy, Danielle Keska and all who have helped design, plan, and facilitate this program on top of their day jobs. We’re grateful to have people on our team who can home-grow such a deeply impactful program and are proud of the participants who immerse themselves in the content, embrace the opportunity to broaden their perspectives, and serve their communities as an unstoppable force for good.

Every member of Team Jeni’s, from part-time ice cream Ambassador through CEO, is eligible for a 4-week paid sabbatical every three years. The purpose of sabbatical is to rest, restore, and get inspired. In 2024, 70 team members spent their sabbatical doing things like traveling the world, spending time with people they love, or learning new hobbies. There is no wrong way to sabbatical…except to check work email or check in with one’s boss; those activities are not allowed while on sabbatical at Jeni’s. “How-did-you-spend-your-sabbatical” stories are as unique as each of our team members, and we love hearing them upon each person’s return. Here is our Human Resources Project Manager, Elli Billisits’ recent sabbatical story: “During my month away, I traveled to New York City, Ireland, and Oregon, checked off bucket list items like visiting the Cliffs of Moher, hiking through Oregon and most importantly, making memories with family and friends. But my sabbatical wasn’t just about ticking things off a list—it was about reinvesting in my life, my relationships, and my own well-being. I came back to work rejuvenated, reconnected to my roots, and ready to tackle new challenges with a fresh perspective. I will forever be grateful for my sabbatical experience and always look forward to hearing about the incredible journeys of my colleagues during their own sabbaticals.”
