Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream
Columbus, Ohio
Buzz Flavor: Goat Cheese
Jeni Britton Bauer, owner of this Central Ohio ice cream shop, gained inspiration for gourmet ice cream from a French patisserie. The idea is: "Less sweet and more flavorful." That's why Jeni's offers so many unique ice cream flavors -- even her Mackenzie Creamery Goat Cheese with Cognac Figs.

The family-owned business not only makes unique and flavorful treats but they go out of their way to use responsibly raised exotics and locally sourced ingredients. So not only will you enjoy your scoop, you'll feel good about where it came from, too.

Amy's Ice Cream
Austin, Texas
Buzz Flavor: Chipotle Peanut Butter
A Texas ice cream power house, Amy's started in 1984 and slowly evolved as the city of Austin grew. Today, the store keeps over 300 recipes for ice cream on hand. Many of them are incredibly unique while others are for a wider audience. One of the more unusual menu items, Chipotle Peanut Butter definitely caught our eye.

The team at Amy's is always thinking up new concoctions, too. Several of their flavors are even made with a touch of booze. Local brew Shiner Bock has even been thrown into the mix with a little ice cream. Or you can go for a little Guinness ice cream if you like.

The flavor spectrum at Amy's stretches far and wide but, if you have any questions, the friendly staff at the stores will always lend you a hand.
