Big Softie
Ice cream shop · Atlanta
66 Georgia Ave SE, Atlanta, GA 30312
"The silky soft serve is doled out in big portions, so this spot is really living up to its name. We like their delicious rotating flavors, which are seasonally inspired things like their tart lavender lemonade or refreshing cantaloupe sorbet. Go for a waffle cone, a chocolate hardshell, and fun toppings (cheese cracker brittle and pepita praline)—all made by neighboring sister bakery Little Tart. Bring your vegan friend too since there are plenty of plant-based and non-dairy options. If you go in the evening, prepare to wait in a line that snakes out the door because this is the only spot in the neighborhood for ice cream." - juli horsford, demarco williams

"The scoops are big, and the ice cream is a silky soft-serve, so this Summerhill spot is really living up to its name. They’ve got rotating flavors based on the season like the tart lavender lemonade or refreshing cantaloupe sorbet. Go for a waffle cone, chocolate hardshell, and plenty of toppings–all made by neighboring sister bakery Little Tart. Bring your vegan friend too, since there are plenty of plant-based and non-dairy options. If you go in the evening, prepare to wait in a line that snakes out the door because this is the only spot in the neighborhood for ice cream." - Juli Horsford
"Summerhill soft serve ice cream shop Big Softie offers from scratch flavors like chocolate, vanilla, and seasonal options on its menu. Make sure to add toppings to that cone such as chocolate dip made from Nicaraguan dark chocolate, strawberry dip, custom sprinkles created by Atlanta’s Beautiful Briny Sea Salt, honeycomb, cocoa nib bark, pink pralines, and O’Brien’s favorite, a peanut crunch coat." - Beth McKibben
