  1. Jeni’s ice cream…favorite flavor changes with mood and season…

    My favorite dessert is Jeni’s Ice Cream or a cream puff at Schmidt’s Sausage Haus.

  3. Dark chocolate ice cream from Jeni’s will always have a special place in my heart.

  4. Jeni’s Ice Cream of course!

  5. Pistacia Vera’s pistachio macaron

  6. Wow a hard decision. I love Lemon & Blueberry yogurt from Jeni’s and the macarons from Pistacia Vera.

  7. Favorite Ohio dessert — whoopie pies from Pattycake Bakery.

  8. I don’t think anything beats fresh Ohio strawberries and homemade shortcake in the heat of summer, but Taste of Belgium waffles are a close second to shortcake!

  9. True story, last night I dreamt that I had an architecture project due in a few days, and I hadn’t even started. The project involved designing a building of our choice on a lot in an urban neighborhood in San Francisco. After fretting for a long time about having not apparently worked on this project in the weeks we’d had to develop it, I decided to design a two-story building for Jeni’s, with a small, open shop on the first floor and living quarters for Jeni upstairs. I have not been in architecture school for over six years, and I did not know about Jeni’s when I was, but this is what my subconscious came up with. I think it’s safe to say that I’m a fan.

  10. Jeni’s Ice Cream! I love the wide variety of choices available! Delicious!

  11. There are so many great Ohio desserts. My top three favorites are cupcakes from the Suisse Shop, Jeni’s Ice Cream, and Rogue Bakery cookies.

  12. what an amazing giveaway! my favorite ohio dessert is jeni’s ice cream: a trio salty caramel, buckeye state and backyard mint.

  13. So hard to choose… a few of my favorites include Brown Butter Almond Brittle ice cream from Jeni’s, the Chocolate Bombe from Pistacia Vera, and the Black and White cookies from the Suisse Shop.

  19. I really love chocolates. Columbus is lucky to have so many good chocolatiers but I think that Pure Imagination at North Market is my favourite- they have such interesting and wonderful flavours!
