A new ice cream shop is celebrating its grand opening on the 14th Street corridor with free scoops for everyone next Thursday.

Jeni Britton Bauer, who’s credited with creating salted caramel ice cream, is opening her first Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams shop in D.C.

The author of three cookbooks, Bauer’s treats don’t use synthetic flavoring, dyes, or off-the-shelf mixes. “Our ice creams have a uniquely smooth texture and buttercream body, with bright flavor and clean finish,” according to the website.

Salted caramel is just one inventive flavor—others include Sweet Cream Biscuits and Peach jam, Queen City Cayenne, and Brambleberry Crisp.

Bauer has more than three dozen other locations in Nashville, Atlanta, Charleston, Chicago, Los Angeles, St. Louis, and Columbus and Cleveland, Ohio.

Washingtonians can get a scoop at 1925 14th Street NW (about a block away from Ice Cream Jubilee). The grand opening is October 5—everyone will get free scoops from 7-11 p.m, and the first 50 people in line will get a swag bag.
