Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream Is Opening A Venice Location

Good news for westside ice cream fans: Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream, the Midwestern scoops shop that made their L.A. debut in Los Feliz in last year, is now planning a second outpost in Venice. The new shop should open at 540 Rose Avenue in late September or early October. Jeni's was founded in Ohio in 2002 by cookbook author Jeni Britton Bauer and serves up artisan ice cream and in fun flavors like Gooey Butter Cake, Brown Butter Almond Brittle and Goat Cheese with Red Cherries. In addition to scoops and cones, Jeni's also offer buttermilk frozen yogurt, sundaes, ice cream sandwiches and floats, and you can usually score a pint to take home should one really move you.
When they opened in Los Feliz, they even had a few L.A.-specific flavors, like the Wheatgrass, Pear & Vihno Verde sorbet and an L.A. Somedae sundae with Wildberry Lavender and Pistachio-Honey ice creams topped with bananas, honey-butterscotch sauce and hot fudge. Perhaps we'll get some new Venice-inspired flavors, too.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
