Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream
Jeni Britton Bauer became inspired to make artisan ice creams while working at a French patisserie. Drawing on the practices of a traditional pastry kitchen, Jeni created her own techniques to make American ice creams that are less sweet and more flavorful.
Each batch of Jeni's ice creams is carefully tended to; each flavor artfully achieved with fresh ingredients found in the Ohio countryside as well as responsibly-raised exotics from around the world. All of Jeni's ice creams, sauces, pralines and marshmallows are handcrafted in Jeni's production kitchen in Columbus, Ohio.
Jeni's is family-owned and operated. Jeni Britton Bauer and her husband Charly Bauer co-founded the company in 2002; Charly's brother Tom Bauer became a partner one year later. Together with their small team, they make every batch of ice cream that is served in their four (soon to be seven) stores in Columbus or shipped to doorsteps nationwide.
Every week, Arrowine receives a new shipment of Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream! We rotate through the signature and seasonal flavors and they are located in the freezer at the back of the store.
Pints are $10.99 each. Sorry, Jeni's is not available for sale online.

WHAT THE PRESS HAS TO SAY ABOUT JENI’S SPLENDID ICE CREAMS:
THE ATLANTIC
August 31, 2009 "An Ice Cream Surprise in Columbus" By Terrence Henry
Jeni's flavors are not successful simply because they are irreverent and ground-breaking. They work because a great deal of effort has gone into their crafting--what at first glance seems whimsical, upon first bite is proven artisanal.
BON APPETIT
June 2009 “Top 10 Ice Cream Shops” By Andrew Knowlton
The flavors—Thai chili, olive oil with sea-salt pepitas, Riesling-poached-pear sorbet —illustrate why Jeni Britton Bauer is a top ice cream artisan in the U.S.
FOOD NETWORK MAGAZINE
September 2010 “America’s Best Top 10 Sweets” Alton Brown, et al.
Best Exotic Ice Cream: Jeni Britton Bauer combines exotic ingredients with cream from grass- fed Ohio cows to make some seriously tasty and inventive ice cream flavors. Her top seller is Salty Caramel, but she’s always mixing up new versions like molasses-praline or goat cheese with cognac figs.
FOOD & WINE
June 2008 “How To Make Ice Cream Like an Artisan: Jeni Britton experimented with more than 75 batches to create the super ice cream recipes here.” By Kristin Donnelly
The 34-year-old artisan is an ingredient obsessive, buying cream from local farmers who gently pasteurize to her specifications. She has also worked with dairy professors at Ohio State University to deepen her understanding of ice cream making. The result: incredibly smooth ice creams in distinctive seasonal flavors like strawberry–rose petal.
THE BOSTON GLOBE
June 3, 2009 “Ice cream flavors spice things up” By Jesse Natha Kimler
Jeni's Salty Caramel is pure heaven. The salt and sweet vie for prominence, but it's a dead heat, a well tuned balance. Like a French caramel, the two flavors chase each other around your mouth.
