Leopold's Ice Cream

We visited Savannah for the first time from Germany. We were told that we should not miss this ice cream. There was no line and we were immediately asked if we wanted some samples. Very friendly and welcoming staff, also beautiful interior that adds to the overall atmosphere! A great variety of flavors which we really appreciated. Got to try some fancy flavors such as „Rum Bisque“ and the…can recommend. You’ll get a good value for this price. Lovely little store!

Really good ice cream. My wife loves ice cream and this place took the crown over her go-to, back in Houston. Definitely loved mine. I went with a two scoop of vanilla and mint chocolate chip. The Mrs went for coconut and caramel swirl. Both were amazing. The friendly staffer bringing everyone the water and talking to us was so cool too. He's definitely the life of the party there. Sweet young man. Nice work and thank you leopolds!!!😉

Loved it doesn't scratch the surface! It's a Savannah institution!! Hand churned ice cream!! The employees were outstanding!! All were smiling and looked like they were loving what they're doing! Ice cream was to die for too!! A must go to stop in Savannah!

Not a long wait for ice cream in October. I remember coming by this past June and the line was out the door. The flavor, Cookies was great! Had a bit of an oatmeal flavor (which is my favorite cookie flavor). The Savannah Socialite was a little over rated in my opinion.

Super cool vibe. Old school traditions and the best ice cream 🍨 in Savannah. Pretty busy when it's warm outside. Worth the money & time to experience if you're visiting.

I'm not sure how we lucked upon this ice cream shop while on our sisters' weekend to Savannah. Oh my God!!! What a gem. I must admit, I'm kind of an ice cream snob. This ice cream is probably some of the best I've ever had. We tried many flavors on our various trips, and all were rich, creamy, and flavorful. We wound up going back every single day during our visit. Well worth the trip each and every time. I still dream about this ice cream. There is usually a line, but it moves quickly. It's well worth the wait. The story behind the place is interesting. The whole decor is very cool. Savannah has many, many interesting places to see, but Leopold's Ice Cream is not one to be missed.

Holy cow this is good ice cream! Honestly, it might be the best ice cream I've ever had. It's creamy, but not too much and the flavors are really vibrant. They let you try flavors, which is nice. I got the peppermint and it was heavenly. The place is also adorable and old-fashioned!

A bit pricey but that’s to be expected for homemade and where it is. The ice cream was indeed delicious. Cool history. We had very mixed experiences with the staff. Javon (sp?) was extremely friendly and spoke to us multiple times asking how everything was. If a manager reads this I hope he gets a raise he truly seems like a rare gem of an employee. Behind the counter all were friendly except one guy seemed grumpy and not very friendly and guy checking us out was borderline rude with his grumpiness. But overall not a huge deal very cool spot and I would definitely go back. We were there Nov 22 at 2:25 pm.

We are visitors to Savannah and enjoy the eclectic vibe that runs through the city. There is so much history here and Leopold's is one of its historic gems. After seeing a line that wrapped around the block for three hours last night, we decided to swing by while everyone was having lunch elsewhere. I'm so happy I did because by the time we were ready to go, the line was, once again, and the door and building. As soon as you walk through the door, it's a step back in time. From classic soda jerk hats to a vintage working juke box belting out decades old tunes. The employee was so helpful in explaining flavors and how one freezer contained the recipes that are 105 years old! The Lemon was one of them and it tasted like lemon shortcake. My coffee chocolate chip was so creamy and delicious. As someone who makes ice cream with fresh ingredients, this was the closest I've tasted to my own. It was delectable! My daughter ordered the seasonal chocolate raspberry swirl and she thoroughly enjoyed it. It's the only ice cream shop I've been to that used real spoons for tasting. The flow from entrance to exit was masterfully laid out. What a splendid place. I would've loved to have bought a souvenir but they were very overpriced. Nonetheless, we enjoyed Leopold's ice cream both as a dessert and place to visit!

Delicious choices Great flavors Hot chocolate with scoop of ice cream Interesting movie decor and posters

Delicious ice cream! This is a place that comes with history! Originally opening in 1919, they have kept it in the family and some of the original recipes too! The tutti fruity caught my eye because of the uniqueness of it! Rum flavored ice cream with candied fruit mixed in! Had to try it, and enjoyed! Wish it had a bit more candied fruit but still liked it! I did the 2 scoop and my other choice was the savannah nights(?) But it was chocolate with pecans and a bourbon Carmel swirl thru... it was very good! Nice and thick creamy ice cream, I see why there was a line to get in even in Jan with 40* weather! :)

Ouh la wee - get yourself to Leopold's Ice Cream and don't let the line scare you off - it's absolutely worth the wait! I debated whether to leave my accommodations to visit Leopold's but knew I'd regret not going while in Savannah. So, I took a walk down the street and, while surprised by the line, I decided to stick it out. After all, I do love ice cream and I'd made the effort to walk there. Leopold's did not disappoint! The menu is extensive, and I had a hard time choosing what to order. Once inside, I spotted the Pumpkin Pie Shake on the specials menu, and my decision was made. I visited in November 2024 and was still fully on the pumpkin spice train! When I finally got my shake and reached the cashier, I was so impressed by how friendly and upbeat the staff were even on such a busy night. The decor and accolades displayed around the ice cream parlor added to the charm, making the experience even more enjoyable. As for the Pumpkin Pie Shake...yes, it was delicious and met all my expectations. I totally understand the hype now and highly recommend Leopold's to anyone visiting Savannah! A very sweet treat to top off an excellent weekend.

This is a historic ice cream shop with a few locations throughout Savannah. You'll also see many places with signage that says they serve Leopold's Ice Cream. The line forms quickly but moves fast. An employee came out with water for those who wanted any. There is a menu posted by the line so you can be prepared to order right away. I got the honey almond and cream because it was inspired by Savannah College of Art & Design. It was delicious. My niece got a vanilla milkshake and it said it was the best milkshake she ever had. If you're visiting Savannah, this is worth a stop.

When flying into Savannah, Georgia, you'll find two of these ice cream locations inside the airport. One being a little stand in the middle of the hall, and a larger location just outside the TSA checkpoint. Both locations are good (I'm an ice cream fanatic) but when compared to this one, it's just not the same. This Leopoldo's is the original location with an amazing array of flavors to choose from. It reminds me of the old ice cream shops we use to have in Boston when I was little, but sadly have all gone out of business through the years. Though miles away from home, this shop brought back so many great memories shared with grandparents long gone. The staff were very kind and allowed us to sample several flavors before making our decision. All were amazing, and if I had more stomachs, I would have gotten a scoop of each flavor. I wonderful place to come and have an I cream or a shake. However, do be patient, as lines can get very long.

Savannah's famous ice cream Long lines No parking Creditcard accepted Indoor outdoor seating Restrooms inside Hollywood movie poster decor Order 1st then Pay then find your Seat Historic ice creams Many different flavors Cookie sandwiches Floats Shakes Quick serve Tourist destination

We visited three times. Love that they have dairy free options that were wonderful. Staff was super helpful. Quick in and out even with a line. Lovely way to try a local favorite. Yum!!

We love supporting local and heard this was excellent ice cream. So glad we stopped in as this is some of the best ice cream we've had! There was a line out the door, but it moved fast as the staff was very courteous, but efficient. There were four of us that all got different flavors. We had the signature flavor...Tutti Frutti, (oh so yummy), vanilla and added rainbow sprinkles, strawberry, and then coconut in a waffle cone. Each flavor was so creamy and fresh. You can tell that only quality ingredients are used. Seating is limited, but we had no problem finding a spot. Do NOT let a line deter you or you will miss out. While you are there, read about the history of Leopolds. I also samples the butter pecan (favorite of President Jimmy Carter) and it was delicious. Love that this is a family owned business since 1919! We will probably be getting some pints shipped to us soon!

Be prepared for a line! We went an hour before closing and they were still busy. (Line out the door, still quick service) Classic Icecream, good flavors and even though there was a line the employees were super nice and let people try samples before they ordered. area was clean and there's plenty of indoor seating, I got the Coffee and it was really good.

What to expect- a long line, moves along fairly fast. Once inside- step up to taste and pick your flavor. We sat inside while enjoying our treats. The old school ice cream shop uses real spoons for tasting! That little detail was not lost on me- I loved the little antique spoons! I enjoyed the frozen hot chocolate ice cream and also had a mocha latte too! John inhaled his cone- aka- he thoroughly enjoyed his. I loved the history of the shop too. Worth the wait!

Our group of five visited this place on Sunday at approximately 2pm. There was a short order line inside which I understand was unusual, as the lines usually go out the door and down the street with at least a 1-hour wait! The service was good and all the ice creams were heavenly! So much so, that I forgot to take pictures of the full cups! I ordered the Savannah Socialite ice cream that was chocolate and all sorts of goodies inside and a touch of bourbon (or so it said). I don't know if the 'bourbon' was actually alcohol, or just a taste of it. Regardless, it was reeally goood :p Will definitely revisit when I am in Savannah again!

Leopold's is everything that we could have hoped for, and more! My late uncle always raved about it, and we had the ice cream shipped to our home for many years. It was such a treat to finally stop in and try it at the shop. It's beautiful inside, the staff is kind, and they make the hot fudge sundaes just as my uncle preferred. My husband and I enjoyed a Tutti Frutti hot fudge sundae in his honor, and every year, we will be ordering the ice cream to celebrate his birthday.

The apple pie and brownie were amazing we got a ping to go but bc it was cold it was pretty empty so that was a treat bc it's always so so busy the Savannah socialite is my favorite

This is the OG store of Leopold family since 1900. It is IG worthy and must visit if you are visiting historical Savannah. The line can be long, especially midday when it is really hot. Staff is very friendly. A greeting person at the door will give you many recommendations of their signature ice creams and flavors. You can taste the ice cream before committing to order. $6 for one big scoop, either in paper cup, cone, etc. There are plenty of tables inside. There is a jukebox for 25 cents per song. We had so much fun playing music while enjoying our ice cream.

So packed and always has a line but oh so good and worth the wait! The line moves pretty quick and the employees are really helpful with flavor selections. The ice cream is creamy and flavorful. Can't go wrong with a good ice cream shop for a little dessert.

Family and I have visited Savannah for almost two decades, each time bringing new experiences. This time... Leopold's. I judge an ice cream shop by one simple classic - an old fashioned vanilla milkshake. This was, BY FAR, the creamiest, smoothest one I've had (sorry, Ghirardelli). Perfect. Went early after opening to avoid the line. Only four patrons ahead of us, but several dozen within 30 minutes. Highly recommend!!!

I really loved Leopold's Ice Cream!! They had a variety of sizes, whether you want just a bite or a whole pint to-go, and a good number of flavors (including vegan options!) I got the Savannah Socialite flavor....and, omg. Simply delicious. I really enjoyed the "Hollywood" decor and backstory of the shop. Staff was so kind as we sampled many flavors.

Phenomenal ice cream parlor that was a highlight of the trip to Savannah. Comparable to most trendy ice cream parlor shops - having unique flavors and mash ups - I enjoyed an extremely generous serving size of the butter pecan and peanut butter chippy combo. Be ready to wait 15 minutes on line, but overall experience was great and would welcome again.

Can't go wrong with any of the flavors here - everything was very tasty. Be prepared to wait in a long line by the afternoon.

I got to indulge with a delicious brownie a la mode! Went with a scoop of salted caramel & pistachio. Very heavy, creamy consistency, went very well with the warm brownie. I wish i would have had a chance to try more flavors!! I went at night and there was no line!!

An absolute must when in Savannah is Leopoldo's. If you are a fan of butter pecan ice cream then this is definitely a place you should check out. It's creamy, the pecans are fresh, and it tastes heavenly. My second favorite flavor is the Savannah Socialite, which is chocolate ice cream with roasted pecans and bourbon infused caramel. I can never leave this place with simply a single scoop as there are too many delicious flavors to choose from. Leopold's has a huge variety of ice cream flavors, cones, and of course brownies and apple pie for those who want to create al a mode or sundaes. They also have shakes, cream sodas, floats, ice cream sodas, and hand crafted fountain sodas making this the spot where they have something for everyone. I was very impressed with their nice selection of vegan options. There is always a line for a reason, but it moves pretty fast. Customer service here is outstanding. It's nice to see that some things never change. From the first time I stepped foot in Leopold's 20 years ago to going back again recently they make you feel like your home. Southern hospitality at its finest. There is a lot of movie memorabilia adding to the nostalgia of being transported back in time landing this ice cream shop in the top 10 worldwide. I look forward to my next visit!

There's a good reason that the line to get in here is always down the block. I've walked by quite a few times without going in because of that. On a recent Tuesday night it was a rare occurrence that there were only about 10 people on line, it was time to see what all the hubbub was all about. The line moved pretty quickly. Once I arrived at the counter I was greeted by a very friendly staff member. I got a scoop of Thin Mint, really good stuff. The vanilla was vanilla, a safe bet. Milkshakes were thick and stayed strong for the 15 minute ride home. Mini donuts and macaroons were a nice palette cleanser- a little dessert after your dessert. I'm not a huge ice cream fan so I won't be standing outside for 30 minutes or more but if I see less than a dozen people in line, I'll be hopping on it.

As a dessert person a la Claire Saffitz, ice cream doesn't usually qualify as a dessert since it is basically liquid. Leopold's has proved to be the notable exception. After two visits here, Leopold's has elevated ice cream for me. Both times, I ate the cookies flavor which is truly scrumptious. Honorable mention to rum bisque and birthday cake. The staff here are very friendly and willing to give you numerous samples. They were also nice enough to give my kid pressed pennies on the house. Pro tip: do not go in the evening after dinner since the line will be at least 45 minutes long on a weeknight. If you miss your chance to visit the shop, many local businesses like the Savannah Bee Company and Big Bon Bodega sell it as well. There are also two kiosks at the Savannah airport.

Creamy rich delicious ice cream . So many great flavors . Decorated inside with nostalgic phone booth , Juke box and real tv film making equipment .

We wanted to experience this amazing shoppe but were discouraged from some locals saying that the line and wait time is long. We went anyway, on a Wednesday, and it was fantastic. The line wasn't super long and they are very organized and prompt in making orders. The SCAD film festival was bustling outside, yet they still were able to handle the volume of people with minimal wait time. Love the ambiance of this old time ice cream shop! Lots of film memorabilia is sprinkled throughout. The ice cream was delicious, albeit a bit pricey.

Waited in the long line in the sweltering Georgian sun just to try some of their OG flavors that date back to when this spot opened way back when. A peppy employee was passing out water ans asking if anyone had questions, and you know I did! She was very informed, and shared many "secrets" but said she signed an NDA regarding the ingredients when I asked what was in the ice cream. I don't think I've ever said anything bad about ice cream and I won't start now. Some unique flavors and a great way to cool down!

Leopold's is an iconic stop on Savannah's Broughton Street shopping district. This parlor is retro from top to bottom with its decor, old-school equipment, and staff uniforms. My companion and I stopped in at mid-day for an ice cream lunch and enjoyed the offerings: chocolate chip for me; coffee and chocolate for her. Very creamy and tasty. I also enjoyed a hand made chocolate milkshake, which was also delicious. As others have noted, prices are a little higher but you get what you pay for. Lines can be a little long, depending on when you go. We visited at noon on a Friday and wait was short, but walked by the prior evening and the line stretched down the block. This is due to both the shop's reputation as a "must do" as well as their handcrafting and service. It's a great shop, so be patient. The wait is worth it. Definitely recommend for those with a sweet tooth when visiting Savannah.

So we heard this was an iconic spot in downtown Savannah so we decided to stop by on a very hot night. Line was out the door and we waited for a short time while deciding on what ice cream to order. The ice cream is definitely a premium quality in ingredients. You can taste the richness and freshness of it. It is really good ice cream! Portions are fairly large here. I was able to get a small and it was more than enough for me. The decor inside is a very cool, retro soda shop theme and it is very brightly lit. There is loads of movie memorabilia all over the walls. The owner is a famous Hollywood producer, so you can look at all the movie posters and pictures decorating the shop. It was great to try local ice cream, and we enjoyed the iconic spot in Savannah.

I'm not a fan of waiting in line for food but this one seemed to be moving along so we opted to wait. The menu is displayed outside so you have some time to preview the menu while waiting in line. The wait was worth it! The ice cream is creamy and flavorful (not the thick butter consistency like the ice cream in the Midwest but thicker than your common ice cream from the grocery store). The service was efficient as well! The space inside isn't too big but there is a little bit of seating available after you pay at the register. Overall, I would return next time in Savannah!

I heard Leopold's is an institution in town, so we decided to check it out while touring Savannah. We went at midday, and the lines weren't too bad: we ordered a blueberry cheesecake and peach ice cream, both seasonal flavors. The peach ice cream was fruity and fragrant in peach taste and bits, and the blueberry cheesecake, while lacking a bit in blueberry flavor, had a whipped, almost fluffy texture to it, which was unique. Overall, okay ice cream, as I found the cream taste overpower any sort of flavor advertised. Plus, it was over $10 for two scoops! However, I think it's one of those ice cream parlors that you need to check out while in Savannah, for the history and for decent ice cream.

Well, well, well. I never reviewed Leopold's. I grew up an hour from here and have been going to Savannah monthly since 2011. I've had Leopold's five times maybe. Also, fun fact! I'm the only person on planet Earth who doesn't really like ice cream. So why the 5... Pros: - Love the classic vibe inside. - Plenty of flavors to choose from. - There's milkshakes and other things if you're like me and not too big on ice cream - I love the staff dress up to match the vibe. - It's a Savannah icon. Cons: - The lines. On any Saturday my wife and I will walk by Leopold's to see the tourists in line. I swear I've seen a 100 people waiting. Even in the winter. Alright, so I was in town on a Friday and what do you know? It was really hot outside and the line wasn't out the door so I stopped in. I got the coffee chocolate chip and I'll say, I don't care for ice cream but that was a pretty satisfying ice cream. The coffee and chocolate balanced well together and each bite had chocolate chips. I'm a fan...maybe they're curing my ice cream weirdness. If you're coming to Savannah as a tourist I'd say it's on the same level as Clary's Cafe in the sense of it's something you have to do. It's a Savannah icon for a reason both food wise and aesthetic wise. If you're a semi-local like me and the line is less than ten people (in the summer too look at my luck) stop on in.

It's impossible to make a trip to Savannah without visiting Leopold's Ice Cream! Beware that no matter the time of day, you'll likely be greeted with a line and wait time, but it's worth it. We waited around 30 minutes on a Friday night. The staff members were nice and brought us water because it was so hot out. When it was finally ice cream time, we were ready! My boyfriend ordered the banana ice cream and enjoyed it. I went with the Chocolate chewies and cream and enjoyed it as well.

The hype around Leopold's Ice Cream is well deserved! We stopped by on a Friday evening and although there was a line out the door, it moved super quickly. The interior had a retro look and was decorated with antiques and framed movie posters. They had an indoor seating area, but also some tables outside by the entrance. I got a small cone of the Lemon Custard Ice Cream, which was an unchanged recipe since 1919! I absolutely loved it - great texture, perfect level of sweetness. My friend chose the Banana Ice Cream, which was made with real bananas, and it was also phenomenal. Overall, a must-visit while in Savannah!

Everything I've read about visiting Savannah said that a must is going to Leopold's, so I had to try it for myself. When I first entered there was a pretty long line but the workers were working hard and fast because that line diminished within a few minutes. The decor is vintage and the vibe is as if it was a 50's diner. The Tutti Frutti is the flavor they are most known for so I asked for a sample and they were nice enough to give me one. The Tutti Frutti is a unique creamy flavor that was really good but after seeing everyone get a Brownie Sundae I needed one too. The brownie sundae is the perfect size to share, the whipped cream was super fresh. The actual brownie had more a fudgy flavor and consistency and topped with the hot fudge it was "chef's kiss". The vanilla ice cream was rich and creamy and paired well with the brownie. Worth a trip to try , the staff was really nice, and the ice cream is worth every penny.

This is the absolute best ice cream I have ever had! We waited in a short line to order. The line actually moves very quickly. Employees were friendly and patient. Once you receive your ice cream, you head to the cashier in the back to pay. It was pricey for one scoop in a waffle cone, but it was totally worth it because the portion was quite large. A few places to sit and enjoy this fabulous ice cream. If you are visiting Savannah, make sure you go to Leopold's.

This ice cream shop was established in 1919, though this particular building was not the original shop (we actually saw the original shop somewhere in Savannah as we were driving). I had the coffee with chocolate chips and came back the next day for the honey almond. This is honestly the creamiest and silkiest ice cream I've had and both flavors I had were absolutely delicious. The interior decor is full of movie posters because the owner of this ice cream parlor, Stratton Leopold, decided to take up Hollywood movie production as a side hobby since he's already mastered the art of ice cream making. I will say that the wait can get extremely ridiculous. We were here on a weekend evening and the line was insane, so we left. I hear that sometimes the wait can be over 45 minutes long. We then tried our luck again and came on a weekend noon and weekday noon. For both times, there was almost minimal to no wait. The ice cream here is amazing, but I am not the type of person that would wait 45 minutes to an hour for an ice cream. At that point, I don't care how good the ice cream is, by definition the ice cream would be overrated for me if I have to wait that long. Luckily, we didn't. So be sure to avoid the crowd if you come here, but I definitely recommend Leopold's Ice Cream if you are visiting Savannah.

Delicious ice cream! The workers and service is fabulous and quick. We probably only waited 15 minutes in line. The history and decor on the walls was cool to look at while waiting. This is a must see stop at least once while visiting Savannah!

One of the best, silkiest, and flavorful ice creams I've had in a long time! There was a long line out the door but honestly I was just fine with it! The line moved at a steady pace. Also have to find street parking. But a highly recommend on this place! It's a gem and a go to in Savannah!

Yum! We walked and drove past a few times and there was literally ALWAYS a line out the door so it doesn't seem like there is ever a good time to come and not have to wait. A few folks did tell us it's absolutely delicious. I wanted to try it bc last time I was here I didn't. So we stood in line for about 40 minutes to give this famous locals must a try. I chose a two scoop brownie sundae where I did peppermint and Savannah Socialite which was a chocolate ice cream with more chocolate and then a bourbon caramel swirl. SO decadent and good! Topped with hot fudge, whipped cream and cherry. Old skool and sooo good! Not sure if it was worth 40 minutes wait - but it was delish and fun and nostalgic. Staff were super friendly. A nice space to eat inside after you pay too.

I was greeted promptly once I stepped foot into the door. They had a variety selection of ice cream flavors. Loved that they had indoor and outdoor seating. The decor was beautiful.

Was told by everyone to try this place when visiting Savannah. Tried the Savannah Socialite ice cream which truly was delicious! This ice cream was the end of the container and instead of getting a new container the server just scooped the rest and gave us a bowl that wasn't full.

Lines are extremely long but the service is exceptional! They bring out water to you while you wait which helps when it's hot outside! The space is small inside but they do have a few tables and chairs outside. You get to see a menu before going in with flavors and seasonal ones too! You will also see instructions on how to order! That is very important to help keep the line moving. Prices are pretty fair and are similar to other ice cream shops in the area. We ordered cones and a milkshake. The shake took about 10 minutes to make so we tried to eat our ice cream as we waited for it. Ice cream tasted great and they have some unique choices if your more adventures. Once you order you head to a separate space to pay!

As a New Yorker, I'm used to waiting on line for food and having things that are worth the wait. Leopold's is not worth it. It doesn't matter if it's morning, afternoon, or evening, rain or shine, there is always line at Leopold's. My partner and I thought the line might be shorter on a rainy day, but it was just as long and we were outside holding an umbrella. It didn't help that the people behind us were complaining for the whole hour we were waiting for our ice cream. At least someone came out from the shop and served waters to everyone on line. By the time we got to the front, we were so tired of waiting that we got two scoops of ice cream each, even though we could not stomach it, so we wouldn't have to wait in line again. The good thing is that they let you sample the flavors before you purchase. I tried samples of the banana, chocolate chewies and cream, honey almond and cream, and butter pecan. I settled for the chocolate chewies and honey almond while my partner chose coconut and caramel swirl. While the ice cream isn't super sweet, it is extremely decadent and the portions are huge. The flavors are also uninteresting and nothing I haven't seen at home. The ice cream was so heavy I could only finish one scoop and had to throw out the rest. Instead of a snack, the ice cream can calorically be considered a full meal with the amount of fat and sugar in the ice cream. The best part of the experience is seeing the movie posters and retro slates used in Stratton Leopold's movies after he left the ice cream business to make his mark in Hollywood. The ambiance of the ice cream parlor is reminiscent of simpler days and there's a jukebox with old time classics. Not sure if it works but I think you can play a song if you're willing to spare some quarters. Overall, I would rather wait in line at Morgenstern's in nyc for reasonable sized scoops and complex flavors than suffer through an hour of whiny tourists for premium flavors I can get at the grocery store.

Stopped in for post dinner ice cream! Good quick service, clean facility, and delicious ice cream. Selection was decent but a little underwhelming for the size / specialty but overall worth a stop in

So we have been to Savannah several times and heard about Leopold's. However, there are normally long lines and we hadn't had the chance to try it. This time, we were walking and happened upon the location shortly before opening so we stopped and waited. There was already a line forming when they opened but we were one of the first in. They had several employees taking orders along the ice cream bar. I ordered the rum raisin and asked for some toasted Georgia pecans on top. My wife got the caramel swirl. We got both in cups as we were going to be walking. They also have shakes as well as pastries. I can tell you that although I'm not sure that I would personally wait in a line around the corner for use cream, it was as advertised and absolutely creamy and delicious. The raisins were plentiful and the pecans were perfectly roasted. The portion was plenty. My wife raved about her caramel swirl as well. The sun was out and the temp was rising so it really hit the spot. There is both inside and outside seating. We were told that the owner had become involved in movie productions and the revitalization of Savannah. I don't m ow the entire story but there are movie posters in the ice cream shop. I do recommend stopping by and having a treat from Leopolds which is iconic to Savannah.

"There's a huge line! I'm not waiting in line for ice cream that's crazy." Spoiler alert: I waited in the long line, and it was 1000% worth it. This old school ice cream parlor is whimsical and nostalgic for better times. I had bookmarked Leopold's but we were also told we couldn't miss it while we were in Savannah. We decided to come here after dinner one night around 8:30 thinking that there wouldn't be a long line. We were dead wrong lol. My husband convinced me to stay and I'm so happy he did. It moved fast enough and they have it very organized where you walk in through one door and leave through another. We both got the cookies squared flavor. The ice cream is rich, decadent and so creamy. You can tell it is fresh homemade ice cream. I loved reading the family story while we waited. Everyone here was so incredibly friendly and welcoming. My only regret is that we didn't get to come back here for more ice cream! This is a must do if you're in Savannah.

Creamy goodness!! I can see why this place has popped off and is a staple in Savannah. We heard about how popular this place was and knew we had to go. Perfect stop right after dinner in the downtown historic district. I'm convinced this place always has a line but honestly the wait wasn't too bad. I tried a couple samples, I didn't love the famous tutti frutti since it had a certain fruit flavor I didn't like. I opted for the lemon custard and it was incredible! I love lemon and cream and this was the perfect balance of both. The ice cream is extremely creamy and thick and it's delicious

Worth the hype!!! Came here at 1130 on a Wednesday and there was no line. We had the peppermint ice cream and pistachio.. both were incredible! The pistachio had handfuls of actual nuts in the ice cream and tasted so natural in flavors as opposed to popular artificial alternatives. I had to get peppermint ice cream as it is one of my favorites and usually only available around Christmas. This scoop has lots of peppermint candy pieces in it and was just delightful. There are a few tables outside to sit down and enjoy your treats. The employee "lil J" came by to check on us and he is wonderful. He spoke to every customer with enthusiasm and we really enjoyed him.
