]As did i, got it in my 3 scoops with Salted Caramel and Brown Butter almond brittle. I'm jealous you've had some of the stuff from a Jeni's scoop shop. I can't wait for the ATL Jeni's location to open up!

I live in Columbus, where Jeni's is based. Knowing her story, I'm thrilled to support her venture; that said, I've always been disappointed when I bought a pint. It's probably because of the price tag, I'm not sure I've had any ice cream that was worth $10+ a pint. But it is FUN to go to her shops and get a trio (one scoop of three different flavors).

I definitely find it worth it for the occasional treat to Brambleberry Crisp. Not enough brands include fruit swirls that aren't overly sweet. I wouldn't pay it again for the Brown Butter Almond Brittle, but I'd love to try Hummingbird Cake and Buckeye State.

Although it's not something I'd purchase over and over, it's interesting trying each flavor once. Hummingbird Cake would warrant a rescoop from me if I could ever find it again. That one really sat well with me.

Ive tried Jeni's Salted Caramel, Buckeye state, Browned butter almond brittle, and cayenne pepper. Each one is definitely an A, but I would say the Salted Caramel and Cayenne pepper are both best in smaller portions.
The reason I have tried so few of their selections is because jeni's is barely available in Minnesota. There are 4 places each about 30 miles away that sell it

Much like anything else, Fresh Jeni's > Jeni's in pint form. There are certain flavors that I'll gladly spend ~$10 for though - Brown Butter Almond Brittle, Brambleberry Crisp, and the Buckeye State.

Yes! And I am pretty much perpetually broke.
Here's a wallet-friendly tip for anyone living in the NYC area: Bed, Bath & Beyond – at least the one in Chelsea – carries a few flavors of Jeni's. AND you can use store coupons to buy it. You're welcome! (Please save some for me.)

I wonder if they'd have any more flavors than the only other store that carries Jeni's in my area.

I typically go to Brooklyn Fare or Gourmet Fresh as these two places tend to have the best selection (and the limited edition flavors).

Most Bed, Bath & Beyond stores don't have a grocery section, but it seems like they might be slowly rolling the concept out to the bigger, fancier stores. The one in Chelsea doesn't have more than three or four flavors at a time, and lately I've stopped peeking in there to check what's in stock so I avoid temptation. But thank god I was able to get goat cheese and cherries there a few times – for $8!

The Fresh Market is the only store around me that sells Jeni's, but they only have Salty Caramel, Dark Chocolate, Goat Cheese & Cherries, Brown Butter Almond Brittle, Brambleberry Crisp, and limited runs of both Whiskey & Pecans and Hummingbird Cake. Sounds like a pretty good selection for one store, but I've been dying to check out some more flavors so I may check out BBB sometime this weekend. Thanks for the tip.

will probably only try one more jeni's after brown butter almond brittle. toss up between brambleberry crisp, whiskey & pecans, and hummingbird cake (if i can find it). hopefully one of those blows me away.

I'd go Brambleberry or Hummingbird. Whiskey & Pecans, while good, wasn't nearly as enjoyable as the others.

Hummingbird cake was part of a 4-5 flavor collection from two years ago. You'll never find it unless they re-release it.
