There are so many things to love about summertime in Atlanta! From fun summer festivals and picnics in the park, to wet and wild fun at local splash pads and water playgrounds, there's never a shortage of ways to enjoy the gorgeous weather.
When our real estate agents and their prospective buyers are ready to take a break from exploring the best Atlanta homes for sale, they like to stop by some of the area's most popular ice cream shops for a sweet treat. While there are a ton of choices, a few places always come out on top. Check out these six local favorites so you can decide which one deserves the top spot on your list.
- Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream: 1198 Howell Mill Road
Located in the Westside Provisions District, Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream serves up hand-crafted ice cream made from whole ingredients and the milk of grass-pastured cows. With exciting flavors like Goat Cheese with Red Cherries, Pistachio and Honey, and Fluffernutter Pie, you're guaranteed never to get bored! - Morelli's Gourmet Ice Cream: 749 Moreland Ave. SE # B102
With a rotating menu of innovative flavors, outdoor seating, and casual counter service, Morelli's Gourmet Ice Cream is a popular destination among Atlanta residents. When you're ready to taste outside the box, stroll up to the counter and order a crazy flavor like Dark Chocolate Chili, Ginger Lavender, or Red Raspberry Coke.

All of their treats are made from hormone-free dairy, natural cane sugar, and all-natural ingredients, so you can indulge without the guilt. - Sub Zero Nitrogen Ice Cream: 250 Park Ave. West, #5
It's hard to think that ice cream could be any cooler than it already is, but Sub Zero Nitrogen Ice Cream takes things to the next level.
