Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams - Playa Vista


A newer complex opened in Playa, and Playa wasn't playin' when they picked which shops to start. Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams is available in many a grocery store, but there's a big difference when you're getting fresh, seasonal flavors in a brick and mortar. 



The Sweet Cream Biscuits and Peach Jam tastes sweet and wholesome like a sunny, southern, summer day. Lady Antebellum's "American Honey" plays in my head every time I take a bite. 

Salted Peanut Butter with Chocolate Flecks is a classic. It's not too sweet, but it's the right kind of sweet, and nuts and chocolate are a well-known win. 

Jeni's ice cream errs on the denser side, and it's sweet without tasting full of sugar. It's not too hard like grocery store ice creams can get, and it's nice to get a packed pint with some real weight to it. They have a mix of traditional flavors with more creative ones that don't get too weird - it can be different, but it's still unmistakably ice cream. I don't have a favorite ice cream place yet, but Jeni's is on my list of loves.
