It’s starting to heat up in Georgia and cool treats are the perfect way to cool off on a hot, sunny day.

Well, Tasting Table understood the assignment because the blog recently compiled a list of their picks for the best ice cream shop in each state.

“To construct this list, we turned to sites like Facebook, Reddit and Yelp to ensure that customer reviews were overwhelmingly positive for each shop. We also searched for shops that have previously earned recognition from local and national news agencies, as well as those that have earned awards from organizations like the James Beard Foundation,” said Sierra Winters, with Tasting Table.

So, which ice cream shop is the best in Georgia? Let’s get the scoop:

In fact, this shop has “one of the best milkshakes in the country,” Winters said.

“This shop serves excellent scoops in flavors like banana cream pie and rosemary olive oil,” said Winters. But of course, you can’t go wrong with southern classic delicious flavors like butter pecan or Krispy Kreamier.

Morelli’s was featured on the Top 10 Places to Get Ice Cream in the US by Fox News and according to the shop’s website, Conan O’Brien even scooped and served ice cream at the shop for a day.

Morelli’s is located at 749 Moreland Avenue SE, Suite 102B in Atlanta.
