I’ve shipped your ice cream as gifts to my in-laws several times–they live in New Hampshire in the summer and Miami in the winter–and they fell in love with Jeni’s when they were visiting us in Columbus years ago. So, for treats, we send some to them once or twice a year.

In the winter, when it is cold, we have been known to buy pints of your goodies–especially the Gravel Road—and bring it back to Athens in a cooler.

I will tell you, when and if I open my own restaurant here in Athens, I would love to feature some of your ice creams on my dessert menu.

Just wanted to say thanks for the kind words about our ice cream — and to let you know that you can enjoy our handmade creations even when you’re not in Columbus! We regularly ship all across the US to discerning folks like yourself.

Thanks again!

If I want something sweet, unless it’s a good dark chocolate that I’m craving, I will usually make it myself. I savor it more; take my time enjoying it; experience a food-gasm of sorts. All because I know how hard I worked to create it. Such a dish is so much more satisfying than just shoving grocery store junk down your gullet.

FYI, anything you prepare yourself will, most likely, have far less salt and less sugar in it than anything you could get from the grocery store–including potato chips.

Is a low fat Twinkie (and yes, they make such a thing) worth the calories? No.

Is a slice of homemade sponge cake topped with strawberries and lightly sweetened real whip cream worth the calories? Frankly, yes. It’s also harder to come by – you have to make it yourself. It’s all sorts of satisfying on all sorts of levels. The Twinkie is just something to put in your mouth and chew.
