"Founded in 1919 by three Greek immigrant brothers and now run by a film producer descendant, this Art Deco soda-fountain time capsule features black-and-white checkered floors, neon signage, and soda jerks in bow ties. It’s known for original family recipes — notably Tutti Frutti (rum ice cream with roasted Georgia pecans and candied fruit) — while also offering modern options like vegan chocolate and customizable ice cream sandwiches made with baked-from-scratch cookies; long lines reflect its reputation and cinematic charm." - Veronica Stoddart
"Leopold's is an old-fashioned ice cream shop on Broughton Street that pretty much always has a line during summer. A Savannah icon since 1919, the shop feels out of a different era, especially because all the employees still wear old-school bowties and hats. Flavors include butter pecan (with Georgia pecans) and Tutti Frutti’s candied fruit and rum ice cream, which has been on the menu since they opened." - caroline eubanks
"By night, book a ghost tour for some serious spooks (there are a ton of companies to choose from), after you've treated yourself to a generous scoop of Leopold's Ice Cream, of course." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"If it’s warm out—and it usually is—the first thing you’ll notice about Leopold’s is the line, which snakes out the front door and usually halfway down the block. Some old-fashioned ice cream parlors get by on good looks and perfectly mediocre ice cream, but not this Savannah institution. It's got good looks, sure, but also truly excellent ice cream. Leopold’s turned 100 years old in 2019, and tourists have been coming here almost that long—and they’re not likely to stop anytime soon." - Ariel Felton, Sam Worley
