Jeni’s Armitage at Foxtrot opening party on December 16 in Lincoln Park

Chicago friends, we’re hosting an opening party at our new Lincoln Park scoop shop—Jeni’s Armitage at Foxtrot—on Friday, 12/16, at 7 pm.

Our third Chicago location will be just off the Brown Line at 900 W Armitage Avenue. Here you’ll find the traditional Jeni’s experience—friendly service inside a sleek space—but with a slight twist: to get to the scoop shop, you’ll enter through Foxtrot, the curated online and brick-and-mortar grocer.

Our partnership with Foxtrot also means extended morning hours (we’ll be opening daily at 8:00 am). So, in addition to serving exceptional ice creams throughout the day, we’re going to be featuring something new: Jeni’s Iron Born, Feather Light waffles.

These are Jeni’s waffles, inspired by a very old American recipe (Fannie Farmer’s from the 1896 Boston Cooking-School Cook Book), modded and tweaked in her kitchens over years. Being yeast raised and allowed to rise overnight, they have all the featherlight air and savory flavor that comes with time. And then we bake them on a very hot iron which produces a cruller-like interior. At the scoop shop, you’ll find our waffles glazed (vanilla bean or salted maple) and wrapped in paper, perfect to walk and eat. We call them Street Waffles.

Ice cream will be free for everyone (!) at the opening night party and the first 50 people in line will also get a Street Waffle and bag with limited edition swag. Note: waffles won’t be available for purchase on Friday… if you want one, you need to be one of the first 50 (or come back the next morning at 8:00 am when we open).
