Now customers can experience the whimsical flavors Jeni's is known for at a its first scoop shop in Arizona. Located at the corner of E. Fifth Avenue and North Marshall Way, the parlor will have its grand opening on March 1.

What's on the menu at Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams?
Jeni's menu features a few dairy-free ice creams and sorbets. The Lemon Bar is definitely a winner. The vegan lemon curd splashes tart waves through the coconut milk ice cream and nuggets of shortbread cookie peak through to add a crunch to each bite.
The texture of the ice cream and frozen yogurt are beautifully creamy and the flavors linger in the mouth. The luscious Salted Peanut Butter and Chocolate is a must-try, as is the velvety Rainbow frozen yogurt, which offers a zingy brightness from passion fruit and berries.
Each bowl comes with a triangle of buttercrisp waffle.
Limited-edition and seasonal flavors will be available by the scoop at the Arizona shop, including the upcoming Ted Lasso flavor.
