They have boozy and non-boozy ice cream options, aqua fresca, a couple of Mexican street food, and a few other options as well.
I tried water based : honey lemon lavender and cream based: strawberry & cream, & butter pecan.
I bought strawberry & cream – 1 scoop in a cup.
Even though the store says it was made fresh, I felt like I was having vanilla ice cream with milk nesquik strawberry powder added to it in the ice cream, which barely tasted like original strawberry.
The staff was extremely sweet and friendly.
I loved the ambiance inside the store. The interior is very well thought & feels very cozy / moody / romantic.
There is indoor as well as outdoor seating available.
Free parking is available on site.

I love this place for ice cream- I do wish they had more seating inside, it’s just bulky chairs and tables and then sad to see a whole section just for gaming. Menu is huge but can be confusing, is it on the wall? Is it on the shield? Ice cream names are cute but idk what that name means flavor wise. A clearer menu with breakdowns of each ice cream would be great.

Was a great experience, the two ladies were very friendly and very patient explaining all of the delicious flavor options, I got a scoop of starry night, fruity and sweet, I added a shot of (see photo). My friends both enjoyed the bourbon butter pecan scoop. We were there about 9pm and they were still busy. Great atmosphere, great hometown small business.

I love Yeni’s. So many authentic options, water based, cream based, vegan, dairy free, and alcohol versions. Kid friendly. Pictured flavor is 80’s driving me (nuts!) with Mexican vanilla ice cream and grape nuts. So delicious definitely coming back!

The ice cream is all made in house. It is not typical ice cream but it is delicious. You just need to go and have it explained to you. The lady behind the counter was wonderful. She explained the different flavors and how they were made and gave us samples. We were looking for something sweet after dinner and I’m glad we stopped here.

Who gets ice cream in the winter? Seriously.
Apparently a lot of people do… including myself and my friend. We actually attempted to come here the week before but their business hours updated but hadn’t been fully rolled out yet. Luckily, my friend was able to find out their new times and we set our course for a different day.
The winter weather in the Central Illinois region is breaking and spring is just around the corner. what a better way to get your mindset on spring than with some ice cream. We stopped in on a sunny but windy afternoon and were greeted by a friendly cashier. She offered us samples of any of their many ice cream flavors. I quickly looked over their options and zoomed in on the Coffee flavor. My friend tried a few samples before settling on Pecan. We got one scoop a piece and had them served in waffle cones. (Waffle/sugar cones are the best, by far, in my ice cream opinion.)
The total for our one-scoop two ice creams was around $7.75. A bit higher than I expected but the scoops were big and I was ready for some Mexican-style coffee ice cream. We popped a seat at the front of the store and conversed while watching the foot and car traffic zip by. My friend loved her ice cream and wanted to get more before we left. I thought mine was pretty good. Not too heavy on the coffee flavor but also not overwhelming at the same time. They had about 20 flavors to choose from so I would be willing to go back and try some more out. They had a dairy-free strawberry flavor that caught my attention after I ordered.
As for the interior, it was bright and warm as many Mexican places tend to be. They had 4 metal chairs at the front of the store to sit at. That is where Maria and I sat. Along the wall where you order are 4 more chairs to sit and enjoy your sugary sweets. If the weather is in your favor, you also have the option of sitting outside on some benches and chairs available.
At the time of us ordering, the two TVs behind the cashier were off. After a new cashier came in to relieve the one that took care of us, we noticed the TVs were on. Upon looking that over, we noticed they offered more than just ice cream. The menu had a bunch of cultural-appropriate options that a small ice cream place like this can whip up for you. I didn’t get a good photo of the menu, so I can’t share with you what the menu items are… but if/when I go back, I will make sure to fix that mistake.
All-in-all, it was a nice scoop of coffee on a nice but windy day in Peoria. Next time you are in the mood for some sweets, skip the national places and try some hidden gems. You might find some new favorites by doing just that.

I mean, it was good. Just expensive. A single scoop was $7. Staff were very polite. Ice cream was good but maybe a bit out there for me. If you’re adventurous. It’ll be right up your alley!

After a 6 hour drive for their Starry Night ice cream, the ice cream did not disappoint. They will limit you to one scoop, but eat slowly and live in the moment. Also bought a quart of the peaches and cream oak smoked, which was lovely. Because so many people are traveling to see them, I wish they had a container to carry ice cream to go or offered pre cut dry ice during the summer. I would have been more than willing to pay.

Owner was incredibly nice and the ice cream was wonderful. The lavender ice cream is wonderful. Highly recommend!

We have been wanting to try this place for a while and finally was able to get around to it. I’m so disappointed I didn’t come here sooner. The people are wonderful and ice cream and drinks are amazing. They hand make all their ice cream and let you try the flavors before you get what you want. A plus is the 21+ ice Curran
