Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams – Los Feliz

Jeni's brings the precision of a serious dessert kitchen to the uncomplicated pleasure of a neighbourhood scoop shop. The Los Feliz branch is bright, friendly and open late enough to become a natural final stop after dinner on Hillhurst or Vermont. Signature flavours such as Brambleberry Crisp, Brown Butter Almond Brittle and Gooey Butter Cake are rich but carefully balanced, while seasonal releases make sampling worthwhile even for regulars. Ask for tastes before choosing; two half scoops offer a better sense of the range than one oversized serving. The crisp, fragrant waffle cone is part of the experience rather than a disposable holder. Lines can form after dinner, but they move with reasonable efficiency and add to the sociable mood. Jeni's is a chain, yet the Los Feliz shop earns its guidebook place by fitting perfectly into an evening walk through the neighbourhood.
