50 Best Ice Cream Shops in Atlanta

“Such a great ice cream shop. Look close you'll almost miss it, but it's so good there were people waiting outside to get in. LOL The flavors were incredible and the best vegan Ice cream I've had. Thank you.“

“I was going to give four stars because they were out of fudge dipped waffle bowls and only had the Halloween themed overly sprinkled waffle bowls HOWEVER she made a mistake and thought I wanted the fudge dipped waffle cone which I didn’t, but I became a fan of the fudge dipped waffle cone on this night so all is well lol“

“I highly recommend this ice cream bar! From the moment I arrived, I received a warm and welcoming greeting. Since it was my first visit, the staff took the time to explain the menu and share details about the offerings and the neighborhood. They provide both soft serve and vegan ice cream options. I chose the coconut soft serve in a matcha waffle cone, which was absolutely delicious! I can't wait to return for the ginger beer float—yes, you read that correctly! I plan to use the coconut ice cream for that as well.“

“Awesome Ice Cream. Period. 👍👍👍“

“Our favorite date night dessert spot. The. Best. Gelato. PERIODT!!!“

“I had an amazing experience with the Glaciers Italian Ice Boys it’s black owned the flavors are GREAT and I love the way he helps out the community and young men around I most definitely will support again“

“I think the size I order is considered a pint. I got butter pecan with extra, extra, extra pecans! The man who took my order was so kind and had the most pleasant smile. He was so considerate with asking how far did I have to travel and when I told him the distance, he wrapped my container of ice cream up nicely in Saran wrap and advised me to put it in the freezer as soon as I reached home. I should have left a tip, but I usually don’t leave tips for to go service. I will be back there again and if he’s there I will leave a tip, because of all the times I’ve ordered my ice cream, no one has gone above and beyond like he did. Thank you for your thoughtfulness!“

“EXCELLENT customer service! We are on vacation and stopped in after tasting a sample. The staff was extremely friendly and treated our family very well! Seriously, over the top! We will definitely come again on our next trip. The food was also very good!“

“Their ice cream is AMAZING, and they are amazing to work with!! They were a hit at our daughter’s wedding this past Saturday, the hottest day of the year so far. Thank you so much for everything you did to make the process seamless.“

“So I've been following your page about 2 months and I just kept thinking how much my daughter would like it. So being that it's graduation week my daughter graduated 5th grade and is going into 6th as an honor roll student I decided this would be a little treat for our first day off. When I tell you I was not disappointed... I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!!!!! From the fun and vibrant colors when you walk in the door to the very helpful and sweet young woman behind the counter named TT and to the treat itself.. COMPLETELY LOVED IT!!! The pineapple whip is absolutely delicious. I got the Georgia peach tea slushie with pineapple Dole whip and I will be getting that again it was so refreshing so delicious! My daughter got the dolenada(pineapple dole with chamoy and tajin. It was delicious!!! From walking in the door until we walked out the door TT made the whole experience and truly is an asset to your brand!! We will be back and will bring friends. Ps. TT thank you so much for being so kind I am grateful and I wish you nothing but success in your college endeavors“

“I highly recommend trying this gelato spot. I was able to sample several flavors, and the service was excellent. The owner took the time to answer my questions and made the experience even better. I chose the pumpkin pie and pistachio flavors, and both were light and fluffy while still rich and full of flavor.“

“To be honest this place is elegant but has a refreshing Taste palate. Not only does it make you feel like your having an honest great experience 1st hand of gelato or not to mention that it's not something you'll have every day so they make the experience more desirable than anything“

“Always delicious ice cream, and it smells incredible inside with the waffle cones. 🍨“

“Unique flavors, kid friendly, stays open late but most of all the employees are awesome! #HBCUstudents“

“The Italian ices are delicious. They have so many flavors it’s hard choosing.“

“Waffle cones elite 💥. We love this place“

“I NEEDED this treat today! New Orleans Praline Pecan ice cream for the win.“

“The gelato is amazing and the waffle cone in a cup makes it even better. The service was great. I recommend coming here if you want some ice cream after walking around the market. The only problem was there wasn’t much seating and we had to walk a while to find seating.“

“This Ice cream was probably the best I’ve ever had! And they had vegan options for my niece!“

“Paolo non vende solo gelato ma pasta ,salse biscotti tutto italiano e biologico …e tanto altro ancora . Per tutta la mia famiglia è un ottimo punto di riferimento ad Atlanta 👍“

“Yes interesting menu and great flavors“

“Absolutely zero options to remove any topping. Doesn't matter if you can't tolerate cheeses. Take it or leave it says the parrot at the order counter.“

“The weather was nice, the friends were out for a stroll after a morning of volunteering, what better reasons to stop into Big Softie for a cool treat! LoL. As I walked in my senses were attacked by fresh smells of sweet cream and fresh waffle cones. To say I was instantly excited would be an understatement. I was overjoyed by the instant memories of childhood and the local ice cream parlor. The nostalgia was free with my order. Ha! Walking up to the cashier to order, the young lady was very nice and greeted me with a smile. As I was the last of the group to order I knew what I wanted. I partook in a small vanilla on a cake cone with rainbow sprinkles (jimmies where I’m from). I placed my order, provided my name, and stood to the side. Once my order was ready, my name was called and my excitement started all over again. The ice cream was perfectly sculpted. It looked as if every sprinkle was perfectly placed and the ice cream to cone ratio was perfecttttttttttttttttttt. I’m one who bites the top of the swirl off first and upon FIRST BITE… I was planning my next visit back. LoL. Fresh Ice Cream Fresh Cone Super Fresh Sprinkles And best of all, the cream to sugar ratio was algebraically perfect. It’s official. I’ll be back in two weeks for my next fix. Dare I say, Big Softie is now in my Top 5 for Ice Cream, and #1 for Soft Serve. Do yourself a favor and get you some. 🥳“

“Jeni's has always been in our rotation.
It's one of those places we want to treat ourselves nothing complicated, just something we know we'll enjoy.

The ice cream is rich, smooth, and full of flavor without being too much. It's the kind of dessert you slow down for. You take a few bites, talk, laugh, and let the moment be the moment.

Stopping by the location at Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams fits perfectly into that rhythm. The energy around The Battery is lively but relaxed, making it an easy spot to wind down after dinner or while out for the evening.

Service was smooth, the space was clean, and everything moved effortlessly.

This isn't about trying something new for us.
It's about going somewhere familiar that always delivers.

Jeni's is and will continue to be one of our go-to treat spots.“

“The food and drinks were fantastic, though a bit pricey. However, their matcha ice cream machine wasn’t working after I ordered it, and no one informed me until I went to the counter to ask about my order. I was sitting there waiting for nothing.“

“Absolutely incredible. The food was so fresh and delicious; you can taste it before even the first bite. A simple vanilla icecream taste so rich and decadent. I will certainly be returning-a fantastic gem.

“Mocha Pops are to LIVE for!! Absolutely deliciously made, juicy, and flavorful!! Beyond Beyond! My first experience was several years ago at an event. I saw this 3 year old with a juicy red popsicle with melting popsicle on his face and shirt. I inquired. He pointed to MOCHA POPS… so a tasty love affair began! So many choices! Truly the best popsicle ever!“

“Fave ice cream and buttery fresh baked cones/shells since first visit in ATL 11 years ago! They taste like they smell! Tried opaque tonight and it was delightful! So happy to have closer to home in SC!“

“I’m so glad they’ve opened more locations! The menu is limited compared to the main shop, but there are still options. I got the matcha and oat milk vanilla swirl, it was delicious! I also got sprinkles which were great and added a lot to the soft serve.“

“El amor y la dulzura de picos me llenan de alegría y satisfacción“

“There are a couple creameries in the area but hands down, Marble Slab Creamery is the best! They offer larger servings of such creamy ice cream with an abundance of toppings. The staff is incredible, friendly, accommodating, patient, and their customer appreciation is always on display. I highly recommend this creamery and it is now my go to ice cream shop in the area.“

“Basil Lemonade is hands down the BEST popsicle I have ever had!! FANTASTIC!“

“Always stopped here before leaving the Mall of Georgia best agua de coco in town and love the Mexican spicy potato chips….. stopped last week and tried something else which was a esquite didn’t taste like corn looked like canned corn was really salty…. But it won’t stop me from going for a agua de coco 👌…….“

“Hidden gem that has handdipped delicious ice cream. The place looks like a start up business with not a lot of flare. What it lacks in appearance makes up in flavor. It's kinda pricey for ice cream $4.25 for a small two scoops cup or cone. They also have pints of the many flavors ready to go.“
