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 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.“

“There was a big line about 20 people in front of us and only one young lady attending. However ,we wait I wanna try one of the vegan options. Although, the lady was busy I like her attitude happy and no stress. Ice cream was rich and creamy.“

“Quality Ice Cream!!! Awesome People Great Customer Service! I recommend recommend!!!“

“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!“

“I love this place! They have such a huge variety of flavors, and my favorite is coconut. It has a smooth, fresh taste with the perfect level of sweetness. I always get it in a waffle cone — it’s delicious! The location is great, there are parks nearby for a nice walk, and they’re always super friendly.“

“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“

It was unbelievably so much creamy and smooth with creamy peanut butter dough chunks through every bite ! And the staff their were amazing i think they were both teens ik it was a young lady with a piercing and a young man with glasses both very sweet kind and considerate the young lady greeted us so politely and ask would I like to try a sample , I couldnt have been more delighted 10/10 would recommend!“

“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. 🍨“

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

“Waffle cones elite 💥. We love this place“

“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. 🥳“

“Their ice cream is so good!! I absolutely love the carrot cake and coffee gelato. The service is amazing, and I can’t wait to come back.“

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

“Ordered the strawberry matcha latte. Had a bit of a coffee after taste, which I really liked. It’s beautiful and came out quickly. You can taste the quality. Ended up being about $8.91. I believe they have more flavors in the shop (at least for the lattes) and less listed on their website. They also have restrooms for the customer inside! Great little place to study.“

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

“It is so refreshing to patronize an establishment and receive good service with a smile. Of course the candy is sweet and sells itself, but I am very appreciative of being greeted with a smile and pleasant disposition. Thank you to Jeremiah at River Street in The Batttery for providing 5 ⭐️service!“

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

“Yes interesting menu and great flavors“

“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.

Vegetarian options: There’s veggies, falafel, potatoes, veggie wraps, salads

“Absolutely delicious strawberry ice cream i’m waffle cone 👌🏾“

“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.“

“LOVE this Rita’s! Barbara is awesome and was super patient with my little one in helping her decide which flavor she wanted. Custard is AMAZINGGGGG and the ice flavors are so delicious. None can compare!“

“Muito bom o local, milkshake de cook & cream é fantástico, vale a pena provar“

“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.“

“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!“

“Soooo happy Andy’s is finally here! This location is clean, has friendly customer service, and the ice cream is somehow better than other locations. I can’t wait to come back :)“

“I am so glad this open because I think soft serve is definitely superior ice cream. Their inventive and creative toppings make it even better. I usually get chocolate with honeycomb and the cornflakes.

There's plenty of seating next door in Little Tart but I wish there was a better outdoor seating option.

I wish I could respond to the review about the gnat. Get a grip, lady!“

“Probably the best ice cream I’ve ever had! I would recommend it everyone! Amazing flavors, add ins and the texture is the best!“

“All the food I got was very good, I would definitely go for the regular cheesesteak next time. There are a lot of sauce choices for the chicken. Fries and tenders were very well seasoned. The person working was helpful and made sure my order came out right.“

“Visiting from Tampa. Great experience. Helpful staff, delicious treats! Had their strawberry shortcake ice cream bowl and it came with an entire slice of cheesecake in it! Delicious! Thank you!“

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

“Amazing Sweets! I would recommend it to anyone .“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The girls were nice and very funny.“

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

“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.“

“Kaisa is really passionate about cake making and always tries to integrate surprising ingredients in her beautiful cakes (think about chicon and beer). She can also make vegan and gluten free versions. My personal favorite is the earl grey cake!“

“I visited Yonutz in Atlanta for my birthday and had such a great experience. I don’t usually indulge in sweets, but I’m a huge fan of Biscoff, and Yonutz definitely delivered. I loved that they offer creative options like smashed doughnuts with ice cream in the center and shakes blended with a doughnut, topped with a mini doughnut of your choice.

The gentleman working at the front was incredibly helpful and patient as he walked me through the options to help me choose the perfect treat. His positive attitude, kindness, and welcoming smile truly stood out and made the experience even more enjoyable. As a kind gesture, he even gave me a complimentary mini doughnut on the side that I really wanted to try, which I greatly appreciated.

Everything was delicious, and the service was excellent. Yonutz did not disappoint, and I will definitely be returning. Highly recommend!

Biscoff Shake with biscoff mini doughnut, Strawberry mangolade, mini fruity pebble doughnut.“
