Gather your squad, shake it off, and explore fan-favorite scoops in the city!

Here’s a sweet guide for ice cream awesomeness in Alpharetta:

Where’s the Scoop – Dessert Bar

An award-winner in Downtown Alpharetta, Where’s the Scoop offers rolled ice cream in practically every flavor combination imaginable. Ahem, 37 MILLION flavor combos to be exact—all made with fresh, seasonal ingredients (plus vegan options!). We dream about the Red Velvet Dreams, a scarlet sweet treat that’s a little like Red (Taylor’s Version) – bold, nostalgic, and deeply craveable. For something a bit more outside of the box, don’t miss the Lemon Blossom, a tasty harmony of bright lemon and rich white chocolate piled with clouds of whipped cream.

Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams

When you’re in the mood for something new, Jeni’s is the place for stepping out of your comfort zone. Channel TTPD with rich, moody vibes available courtesy of the Tahini Oat Chocolate Cookies flavor, a surprisingly delicious blend of savory and sugary that just works. However, if Lover is more your energy, be sure to order up the Snow Cone sorbet, a swirl of fruit flavors as light and airy as some of Tay’s summery radio bops.

Andy’s Frozen Custard

The difference between custard and ice cream is essentially the difference between 1989 and 1989 (Taylor’s Version) – the latter is smoother and creamier, perhaps a little more of an indulgence, and something you’ll consider a favorite after just a small sampling. At Andy’s, their custard is freshly made every hour on the hour, meaning every spoonful is truly incredible. As sweet as a TSwift debut track throwback, the Peach Dream Sundae, featuring vanilla frozen custard blended with peaches, malt, and crème caramel, is a perfect serving of southern flavor and nostalgia.

The Tipsy Spoon

The Tipsy Spoon bills itself as a gelato bar, but we like to think of it as the cool older sister to traditional ice cream shops. After all, this one has the added bonus of spiking just about every sweet selection with a shot of booze. With T-Swift’s “I Did Something Bad” snaking through your head, sip on the Chocolate Raspberry Tipsy Milkshake, savoring chocolate ice cream with a hint of tart raspberry syrup, raspberry shortbread cookie, chocolate curls, and a zip of chocolate raspberry moonshine. Loveable desserts made a little bit naughtier with perfectly paired libations—talk about a big reputation.
