"Anyone old enough to remember the Hawk’s Pac-Man logo will more than likely have a fond memory of Jake’s Ice Cream, an Atlanta classic that opened its doors in Old Fourth Ward back in 1999. Now it’s situated in a corner of a small plaza near downtown Hapeville, but it remains a great place for cones and cups in standard flavors that don’t venture too far into the wild but strike the perfect balance of sweetness and flavor. Try the Kiss of the Leprechaun—mint ice cream with chocolate chips—when you're wanting something refreshingly cool, or the Brown Shugah Vanilla—a delicious city treasure that deserves its own Georgia historical marker." - jacinta howard
