    I'm not a local but have visited Savannah many times, Leopold's for ice cream never ever disappoints. I truly don't care for sweets but Leopold's always has hit the spot. After a long day and a fine meal on River Street, we knew we'd have ice cream for dessert. We got there waited in about a 15 minute line which was out the door! I had a chocolate waffle cone and the girl had a honey almond vanilla! Not terribly expensive for amazing ice cream and it was an awesome treat! Leopold's never misses and really I can see why they are 92 years old and going strong. Well, let's just say that we went through the ice cream as if we had never eaten it before.

    While Vermont has Ben and Jerry's, Savannah has Leopold's! If forced to choose between the two, this iconic frozen delight always WINS! Yes, they make their own ice cream in-house with the SAME family recipes since 1935! I know, I know. The LONG LINE OUT THE DOOR to *the road* can be intimidating but it moves SUPER fast and is a testimony to a sure thing inside! The only thing MORE fun eating their ice cream is looking at Mission Impossible 3 movie props while you do so! A member of Leopold's worked in the film industry and brought some of his movie props as decor. Some of my favorites are: Rum Bisque with almond macaroons Frozen Hot Chocolate Rose Petal Lavender Peanut Butter Chippy When I was pregnant I craved Leopold's DAILY and wished they delivered their Lavender or Rose Petal ice cream. Leopold's is ALWAYS at the top of our to-do list when we visit Savannah and worth the 2 1/2 hour drive from Jacksonville for sure!

    So I had to check out this place since I was visiting town and read so many good reviews. I went on a Thursday afternoon so luckily the line was not crazy and not out the door. I got the famous tutti frutti and the honey almond. I have to say that I had to try the tutti frutti because being so well known at Leopold's. It was definitely not what I expected. I do not regret trying it all, but probably would choose something different if I come back again. It was not bad at all, just not what I personally cared for - I guess the rum, cherry, and nut mixture was different to me. It reminded of those cherry chocolates. The honey almond on the other hand was soooo great! I would definitely get that again! The staff was super sweet and kind making the whole experience a good one!

    I love this place due to the decor. It's old school Anand even has a rotary phone booth you can go into. Love the old school feel. Ice cream was good. Not the best eat ever but better than average for sure. Definitely worth the visit. And very kid friendly. My son dropped his ice cream and they replaced it quickly. Tried almost every flavor but notable was the coconut, peppermint was awesome and the pistachio omg to die for.

    We walked by Leopold's earlier in the afternoon and the line was pretty long! We checked them out briefly but didn't stay. After dinner Saturday evening, we decided we'd return to check out the line. Lucky for us, there wasn't one! We walked right inside to the counter and were served immediately. I really wanted to try their August special Huckleberry Cheesecake but they were all out. I did try Birthday Cake which did nothing for me. My boyfriend and I both ordered a scoop of Butter Pecan in a cone, which was tasty! A very yummy after dinner treat. Would I wait in a really long line for them? No. Check out this cute ice-cream parlor when the line isn't crazy.

    Located across the street from SCAD and next to the madness that is downtown Savannah, Leopold's Ice Cream holds its own as a tasty historical landmark. Line was OUT THE DOOR and down the sidewalk at 10:15 PM on a Friday night. A server went up and down the line proffering menus and plastic cups to fill with some chilled water. After examining the menu, I instantly gravitated to the Cold Brew Coffee Float with Rum Raisin ice cream, which was featured on a display board outside. The cold brew was SUPER strong, which wasn't properly counteracted by the sweetness of the ice cream. It was hard to drink the cold brew and spoon some ice cream out at the same time, as the single scoop of ice cream kept bobbing deep into the coffee. However, I knew I had to man up and drink my black cold brew with the limited amount of rum raisin. The rum raisin ice cream on its own was beautiful, though. The servers are all so patient and friendly. The decor was old-fashioned, old school ice cream parlor style. A very quaint tourist spot that even locals go to. Leopold's Ice Cream is a must-go stop when visiting Savannah. And not just once, but at least once a day to keep the doctor away, for sure.

    Hands-down a must do whether you're spending one week, or one hour, in Savannah! A resident of this historic community recommended that, if we were going to get ice cream anywhere in the area, it must be from here. I'm very glad that we took the time to walk down the street and check it out. It was busy, but the staff was friendly and quick on their feet! I chose the pistachio ice cream. Let's just say that it not only was the most delicious pistachio ice cream I've ever had, but it also taught me that pistachio ice cream is not naturally green like what you get from the supermarket. LOL They take cash or credit and their prices may seem a little high, but it is absolutely worth it. You truly get what you pay for!

    I have passed up this place during previous trips to Savannah, because the line was out the door. This time we were lucky and the timing was right. There were 4-5 folks ahead of us. I had a double scoop, rum raisin and rum bisque. Some of the best ice cream that I have every had. My favorite was the rum bisque. My partner had an ice cream sandwich ( made to order with chocolate chip cookies) it was fresh and delicious. Now I understand why the line was out the door, when we were on our way out. Business is mostly non-stop here. I will make sure to stop here during future trips to Savannah.

    Had to try the top 5 ice cream place in the world! We got there around 3pm and the line was pretty long inside. Honey Almond with chocolate sauce - loved this combo, the chocolate sauce added to it made it even better! (Thanks to another Yelper's review!) Tutti fruity - rum flavored, you could really taste it! It was really good! They have ice cream and shakes and sundaes, and a section for seating as well, which was great on a hot day! The line got longer after us and the employees were very kind to take cups of water to the customers waiting in line outside the door. Definitely try this place out when you're in Savannah!

    Mmm! Ice Cream at its finest! My husband and I are staying on Tybee, but wanted to spend some time exploring Savannah. Every time we mentioned this to anybody, the first thing they said was "You HAVE to try Leopold's!".. so here we are! Marble countertops, glass cases, vintage ice cream parlor/soda fountain feel. Lots of original, antique pieces and a cool back story to go with it all! I had the chocolate raspberry swirl, hubby had rum bisque. Both were FANTASTIC, and everything else looked and sounded just as good. I wanted it all! There was much more to the menu than just ice cream (Sodas, Soups Sandwiches) but since we were only there for the Sweet Treats I can't tell you much about anything else other than it sounded good and wasn't overpriced.

    3 Greek immigrant brothers opened this place in 1919. Line wraps around the corner and for a reason. They use fresh ingredients and locally sourced as well. The workers are friendly even though they are stretched thin by the crowds. Whoever has this place is still doing it right. A must stop in Savannah

    I don't even like ice cream that much and I was blown away. there was huge queue out the door and this looked like a vintage ice cream shop from outside. The decor was old school and charming. They even had a Hollywood Memorabilia on a wall with celebrities who have visited Leopold's. There was a queue out the door but it moved fast since most were there for ice creams though they have a lunch menu too. There is a small seating area and I can bet there is no good time to find a seating. Now on to ice-cream. They have a mix of regular and innovative flavors and most popular being Tutti Frutti of which they claim to be inventors. So, we had to go for that and it was like a creamy explosion of fruit cake. It was creamy and chunky at the same time. Servers wore these fancy tied hats which were individual designed with their names on it. Don't mind the wait, its an experience you'll talk about for a long time. A must go when in Savannah.

    I was in the area for work and had a craving for ice cream. My coworker told me I HAD to go here and I'm glad I did! Don't let the line fool you; it goes by pretty quickly. There was someone outside handing out menus so you could check out the flavors while waiting in line. I got 2 scoops of ice cream: butter pecan and honey almond & cream. Amazing!!! The ice cream wasn't overly sweet and creamy! Portion was very generous as well. I would definitely come back if I am ever in the area

  • Anna G.

    A great place to stop for some dessert while roaming the streets and squares in Savannah. At 5pm on Saturday, there was a line snaking out of the door. We waited for about 20 minutes. Once inside, they very quickly take your order and prepare it. Lots of employees who seem to have the system down to keep the line moving. I had a cake cone with a scoop of honey almond & cream and the May special of rose petal. Both were super tasty! And they give you quite a large scoop of each. I did not finish even half of my cone. My husband ordered the special "Hulk" which was a pistachio ice cream sundae. Also really good and also so big he didn't finish the entire thing. If the line is over 30mins long and you have other things to do, you can definitely skip it because it's not life-changing ice cream. But if you're in town and just strolling around, definitely get yourself a treat from Leopold's! There were some indoor and outdoor tables. Pricing was pretty average.

    Let me intrigue you with a short story about a boy and a cup of Leopold's ice cream. This boy really loves ice cream and while in Savannah, was told this ice cream shop is must go to. Waiting in line, he contemplates his choices of several different flavors. He decides upon the lemon custard and pistachio. Dredging his spoon into the cup og God's greatest creation of creaminess, he then tastes his choices. To cut it short, he falls in love with ice cream all over again and is so awestruck, he doesn't have the words to describe this awesome ice cream. This story is my story and is all I got to say about this place! I loved it!

    My wife and I came down to Savannah for the day after a week long vacation in Charleston, SC. We heard about this spot in the NY Times as a must try. I must say, one of the better ice cream spots that I have ever been to. It's your classic old school themed parlor, with a rich history to boot. They have a killer selection of Ice Cream as well as other classics and sodas. If your in Savannah, do yourself a favor and get in there!

  • Sandra J.

    The ice cream from here is awesome. If you go to Savannah please make sure you go here. My sister and I went during the week so on a Monday afternoon after school started there is no line. Will go again. It's like a rite of passage.

    I was lucky enough to be here for their 96th birthday event where scoops were only 96 cents! Of course the line was long, but I have no doubt it would've been that way no matter what. We waited about 30-40 minutes, but it went fast because people in line were engaging in conversation with each other, and it was certainly worth the wait. Single scoops are quite big. Leopold's is the quintessential all American ice cream shop with a lot of history - the current owner left Savannah for a period of time to produce movies in Hollywood, and there are movie posters throughout the store, as well as authentic camera equipment and jukeboxes. This should definitely be on your Savannah list!

  • Erin G.

    This place is great! This is definitely some of the best tasting ice cream I can remembering having. Although I don't visit too many ice cream shops these days because I am too old to run super long distances to lose the calories. But seriously the taste of the ice cream is just fantastic great, can't really explain it any other way. If you don't believe me just show up after dinner on a weekend and you will see I am correct by the very long line out front. The prices are good too as well as the service. Also the place is pretty famous in Savannah and a bit of a staple there because it has been there for years, plus the owners have an interesting history from arriving as immigrants to the family working its way into the movie industry. Anyhow if you find yourself sweating in Savannah during a warm summer day swing on in and give them a whirl, I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

    Honestly Leopold's is overrated. The lines are always long and the prices are high. The ice cream is pretty good, but it's nothing compared to the ice cream parlor back where I live. The only thing they've got going for them is the classic ice cream parlor vibe and the seasonal flavors. I'd go once, and then save your time and money after that.

    We almost bailed on Leopold's because of the crowds, but I'm glad that we were able to try it. I saw how many positive reviews this place had and was really looking forward to checking it out. When we arrived I could not believe that the line to get inside stretched outside and continued down the block. We stood in line for 5 to 10 minutes and didn't really make much progress. By that point we decided ice cream was not worth this and got out of line. Around 5 PM we happened to be making our way past this location again and saw that the line was less than half as big. We decided to tough it out so that we could try it. The interior looks like an old-time ice cream parlor, which I liked. The walls are decorated with modern-day movie posters. I was in the mood for a milkshake so I got a chocolate one. Did I enjoy it? Absolutely. The woman that made mine really took her time with mixing it so that it would be just right. Would I wait in a line that stretched down the block for it? Absolutely not. Some people will say that I should have chosen one of their specialty ice cream flavors, but I wanted a chocolate milkshake and I have no regrets. When I am in downtown Savannah I will definitely go back to Leopold's if the line is reasonable.

    The kids behind the counter here are the real deal. You'd think they'd have a bit of an attitude when they have a line of people out the door that never seems to get shorter, but instead they're friendly as hell. Thanks to their generously sized samples, I had almost a full scoop of ice cream after trying just four of the flavors before making my choice. And then my single scoop ended up being a little closer to two scoops. Not a single complaint here. I ended up with a delicious mountain of Chocolate Chewies & Cream that perfectly hit the spot on a sunny day. It was very cream, not overwhelmingly sweet, and had giant chunks of cookies. Perfect.

    I always look over the best places to go in a city before I travel there so I can have an idea of what I'm going to try out. Leopold's seem to be the only thing that came up for the best ice cream in Savannah, GA. There is nothing better than cold, creamy ice cream on a hot, humid day and Leopold's was the perfect place to hit up every afternoon of my stay because the heat was not playing around. I had high expectations based on the reviews but I was also nervous about running into that long line out the door that everyone was talking about. Lucky for me, I must have a 6th sense that helps me avoid lines for ice cream on hot days because both days that I went I had no wait and as I sat down to enjoy my delicious ice cream, like clockwork, a line out the door would form before my eyes. I had the chocolate raspberry swirl which was absolutely heavenly. The chocolate ice cream was so rich and creamy yet it didn't overpower the swirls of raspberry puree. It was the perfect balance of chocolate decadence and a fresh burst of fruity flavor and I absolutely loved the combination. I loved it so much I really don't know if I'm willing to attempt another flavor.

    Homemade. Fresh. Creamy. Creative Flavors. Could not ask for any better. Well maybe a shorter line but worth the wait. Goes by fast! Outside seating is nice too! Awesome prices to boot. Best flavors I tried: coffee, peanut butter

    I stopped at this Savannah institution based on reputation for an afternoon pick-me-up while wandering around downtown. When I arrived, the line was only 6-7 people deep but immediately afterward grew to 20+ and out the door ... good timing on my part! The rum bisque is everything it's made out to be. This is a must try. I also sampled ginger, rose petal and Japanese cherry blossom, all of which were very good (rose petal was pretty subtle... if you've ever had rose ice cream at an Indian restaurant, you might be disappointed). Lemon custard tasted like ice cream base with no lemon - still perfect texture and density, just literally tasted like "iced cream." There are several other reviews that mention this as well. Reminds me of the Wendy's commercial from the 80s: Where's the lemon? Perhaps a modern, flavorful interpretation of this flavor can be sold alongside the vaunted original. Owners, take note of Häagen-Dazs' limoncello gelato for what a lemon ice cream should taste like. So, I paid $5 for a cup full of ice cream, but only half of it had flavor. Hmph. Also, next to the table where I sat was a pile of dead gnats on the window ledge. The rest of the place seemed very clean, so this was a little surprising. Definitely go, just take advantage of sampling so you don't end up with a dud.

    Not going to lie. Very good ice cream. Lovely space. "Old-time" feel. Very friendly and prompt service. Smiles on their faces. Worth waiting for them to open at 11:00am! Yes, ice cream for breakfast. It was good. My boyfriend had their malt. He thought it was fantastic as well.

  • David K.

    The place is rich in history and so are their ice cream! I normally wouldn't wait 20 minutes just to eat ice cream but I gotta say it was worth the wait! Their coffee ice cream was indeed memorable and the honey almond and cream ice cream was so good! Every bite has a sweet honey taste (but not too sweet) and the almonds add a great balance and texture. The wife got chocolate and coconut on a sugar cone and enjoyed every lick and bite. The people working the stand were very attentive and patient as we and others asked for samples even with the long line behind us.

    Every town, big or small, has its go-to ice cream place. Savannah's is Leopold's. Armed with original and classic favors, Leopold's homemade taste is what makes it a winner. The lines can be relatively long in the summers, but with the swamp heat of Georgia, it is well worth the wait. My favorite is the Lemon Custard: creamy with a zest of lemon, the favors are subtle yet surprisingly delightful. If you have seen my review of the Savannah Dan Tours, Leopold's created a special concoction for Savannah's famed tour guide.

    After living in NYC, I never intended to wait on a crazy line for food ever again. But, it was for ice cream. And, it was worth it! I had the Tutti Frutti and wish I could have taken home a pint/gallon/truckload.

    After hearing rave reviews all week, my expectations were set pretty high for Leopold's. I love me some ice cream and being from good ol', fat Ohio, I'm used to *very* good ice cream. Yes, I thought it was very good ice cream. Not the best I've ever had, but very good. My wife and I both had the coffee chocolate chip and loved it! It's a neat old shop in a cool part of town. I strongly recommend it!

  • Shyam S.

    How many times have you waited in line for an hour, on a Friday night, to get ice cream? Really? And how many times have you built up a wonderful camaraderie with other foodies as you talk about what you've heard about Leopold's and what you are going to order? Oh yeah, someone comes by to pass out menus, but those are for show. Everyone samples everything once you get inside, and it is mind-blowing how good everything tastes. Try the Savannah honey ice cream ... four weeks later, and I still think about how sweet it was.

  • Jennifer B.

    We almost waited 30 minutes one evening and instead opted to come back when there was no line. After trying the ice cream, we collectively thought, "eh, okay." It's just regular ice cream - nothing unique or especially tastier than what you find in the grocery store. Grab some Haagen Daz for a more delicious treat. The staff is not particularly warm and my ice cream could not be scooped into a cone because it was partially melted, due to the case being opened so frequently. I got the Savannah Smiles and my pals had Coffee Chocolate Chip and Honey Almond Cream, respectively.

    This place is not just a tourist hype. After waiting in the line for 20 minutes, we bought tutty fruity and chocolate chewies something..we were not disappointed. The wait was worth it.

    Pistachio ice cream. Real pistachios. Lots of them. I was sold at my first bite. Leopold's is one of those must-visit places in Savannah that I actually didn't get to stop by on my first trip to this wonderful little city! So I made sure to stop by on my second visit, and I'm so glad that I did! There was luckily NOT a line around the corner when we stopped by, though I hear it can get pretty crazy. The place is set up like an old-fashioned ice cream parlor, with the uniforms and everything, and the ice cream is dang good. There are movie posters and paraphernalia all over the shop, so I asked the waitress what the significance was and apparently the current owner (I think she said the grandson of the original Leopold?) is a big shot movie producer in Hollywood, and so every movie referenced in the shop is one that he had something to do with! Fun! Anyway, to cut what could be a long, gushing story about ice cream short, go to Leopold's, and if you know what's good for ya, get the pistachio. Or, okay, the honey almond made with Savannah Bee Company honey would be fine too I guess -- I tasted it and it was gooooo-ood.

    Very long waits but, samples and water are brought around by the chipper employees! Yes the line is long, yes it's likely 100 degrees outside with 100% humidity, but it is just one of those things you have to WAIT FOR. A true Savannah gem and a must do for visitors and locals alike! The flavors are simple and not over the top, kind of a purist's ice cream shop. Skip the cone or cup and go directly for the chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich with plain vanilla inside. Off the beaten menu path, but you won't regret it.

    (5)
  • Frank K.

    The best ice cream, period. Except for maybe Italian gelato, in Italy. But to taste the various flavors at Leopold's is to experience ice cream as it used to be. My personal favorite: Tutti Frutti, made according to their 1919 recipe, reputedly. Whatever recipe it is, it's exquisite: lots and lots of dried fruit, very fresh ice cream that is super creamy but not super sweet. The staff is wonderful--friendly, efficient, and moves the long lines quickly.

  • Anna A.

    Absolutely delicious! There was a long, hot wait, but a server brought out cold ice water and cups for those of us in line. My daughter chose peppermint, my husband mint chocolate chip, and I chose the rum with macaroons. All flavors were great, and the prices were very fair. I can't wait to go back! The lemon is the next on my list to try!

    Two scoops of butter pecan in a waffle cone. Yum. We had a bit of a wait. My BF hates lines. However, he didn't complain after he had his peanut butter chip malted shake, in two cups because there was that much. He even stated it was worth the line.

    We stopped in for sandwiches and Ice cream around 8:30pm. The line was out the door and down the street but moved quickly. Shrimp salad sandwich was delicious with small shrimp tossed in mayo and dill. The ice cream was great. Very creamy and made at the store. Wow! Well worth the visit!

    Quite possibly the best ice cream we've ever had. There were about 30 ice cream choices. My wife had chocolate chewy crunch and I had the chocolate raspberry swirl. Toppings are free and there are many choices here, as well. Service was great and although the line was long, it moved quickly. The prices were really low compared to the quality and level of service. Definitely another must-visit spot in Savannah.

  • Michael B.

    It's ice cream. How can it be bad? It is not the greatest ice cream in the world like everyone on the line thinks, but it is very good, and there are a number of flavors. They have been in business for a long time, so that's got to mean something!

  • Candace P.

    In my opinion, this is just normal-tasting, over-priced ice cream. If I you're just looking for something to cool you off, I'd go down the street to La Berry for yogurt, you'll get far more flavor & bang for your buck. If, however, you don't mind standing in extremely long lines along with lots of other tourists to see a place Savannah is famous for along with a few historic photos on the wall, then this is the place for you. As a local, I prefer to get yogurt when I'm downtown and buy ice cream from the grocery store.

    We had 2 scoops of the honey and pecan ice cream in a waffle cone and it was amazing! You could thoroughly taste the honey and it was just blended in completely. The waffle cones itself was sweet and delicious. Great treat for a hot day!

    Yum!!! During my three day stay in Savannah the kids and I went here TWICE. Both times we waited in a line out the door. The ice cream is wonderful. The line moved fast as it seems like they have the system down to a science. Ice water was offered to guests waiting in line. There is an area to dine in or outside. Everyone is friendly. We had the mint chocolate chip, peanut butter chip (tastes like eating a Reese's cup!!!!) and coffee ice cream. All were delicious.

    I am not a ice cream expert and I don't know what the difference is between super premium, premium or great ice cream. But I do know Leopold's is doing something right here in the heart of Savannah. Whatever your choice of flavors may be if you find it here it's going to be good, I chose a coffee ice cream shake and wow what a burst of flavor. I applaud the owners today for keeping the tradition alive I can imagine that there were long lines of people standing in the hot Georgia sun back in the day waiting to get a taste of Leopold's ice cream the parlor theme remains in effect today so do the long lines. This is the good stuff.

  • Gregory H.

    I'm torn - I like the place, great concept and some appealing and tempting flavors, but I really need to come back and try it again to try something different. The line was fairly short when we arrived, probably due to the new year's weekend being an off season for ice cream, and seating was available but not ample. The place was busy, but no lines two blocks long and around the corners like we had heard about (whew!). My bride loved her Rum bisque and whatever other flavor she had, and my 'tween loved her flavors as well (mint choc chip was one of them). As for the lemon, though, it didn't really seem very lemony, barely a hint of lemon. I'm not saying I didn't like it, I just think I had different expectations as to what it should have tasted like. Texture was fine and it didn't taste bad, it just seemed to lack the lemon flavors, that "pop" I was so expectantly looking forward to. That was a head-scratcher for me as I am typically a lover of all things lemon (unless a car is involved) in pies/cakes/yogurts and other dessert type things. I believe I also saw a sandwich menu while I was there, so another off season visit might garner us some lunch with or prior to an ice cream treat.

    1st time in my life Ive ever waited on a long ass line for some ice cream but I figured if all these white people are, it must be good. The line moves quickly; it would move faster if people could see what the flavors were ahead of time. Still some people put way too much thought into their decisions, taste testing 4 different flavors, letting kids taste them. Please, just order and move on. After I got my scoop though, I was pleased

    Gotta sample the Chocolate Chewy & Cream, a unique style twist on the cookies and cream classic. If you like milkshakes the Savannah Dan-style Chocolate Milkshake is amazing and off-menu!! Seems to always have a line, but it's worth the wait and goes quick. The staff is courteous and informative. Make sure you check out all the movie memorabilia and enjoy the classic music, all adds to the nostalgic feel of this iconic Savannah hot spot.

    We heard that if we were in Savannah we must visit Leopold's- so we ensured it was part of our trip on our way out of town. We also heard that the lines are often crazy (which we had seen in going by on a few occasions). Therefore, we got in line around 11 am for our ice cream- we were about 10th in line at this time of day. It appears that they have discounts for visiting girl scouts and some other special groups. The service was exceptional- there were so many people working that the lines moved very quickly. The person working with us even double checked when we ordered that we did not have any nut allergies after we made our choices- something I wouldn't require- felt above and beyond to me. I tried two flavors because I couldn't pick just one. Rum bisque and honey almond- both of them were excellent and truly fit the "some of the best ice cream I've ever had" description that had been bestowed upon this location. I enjoyed our experience from start to finish!

    The absolute best ice cream I've ever had along with friendly service and a beautiful location! I ordered the Peanut Butter Chippy and my boyfriend ordered the Rum Bisque. Both were rich and unique in taste. Highly recommend!

    We wanted the best ice cream place we could find and this was it! Not only was the ice cream excellent, the staff was super friendly, and the place itself was super cute. If you're looking for dessert in Savannah definitely check out Leopold's!!

    Hands down, AMAZING! The ice cream is as good as they say it is. The chocolate raspberry was my personal favorite. My sister had the mint chocolate chip and she said it is the best she's ever had. We visited around 2 in the afternoon and there was an extensive line out the door. The wait doesn't last and there is plenty of seating to accommodate if you don't want to walk with your ice cream. If you have the time, read about the history while visiting. It helps to tie together the decor and purpose and is also just plain interesting.

    The banana split was delicious. You can customize as much as you want, and the portion is perfect. Served on a nice glass dish. Cool movie decor inside, and it's really nice to sit indoors and enjoy the ice cream.

    wow! The staff was super helpful and patient giving me samples to try; the lady in front of me asked for no less than 8 samples and the staff smiled and obliged her the whole time!! I had a scoop of lavendar and a scoop of ginger -my husband had lemon custard and tutti frutti! Fantastic and friendly --great ice cream not too sweet!

    Best ice cream I've had in a long time! I sampled a few flavors before ordering coffee chocolate chip. The line at noon was a bit long, about 15 minutes but it was worth the wait. If you're in Savannah, save room for Leopold's!

  • Timothy I.

    Leopold's is unbelievable. My wife doesn't understand my obsession with ice cream. She doesn't care much for dairy delights. So she asked what made Leopold's so much better. I had the Lemon Custard. Braum's, an ice cream chain in Texas, used to carry Lemon Custard. This was my favorite flavor for years. Leopold's Lemon Custard was like heaven. The flavor includes fresh lemon zest. This attention to fresh ingredients and the smallest details is what made Leopold's ice cream such a delight to my taste buds. Now I simply wish there were more ways that I could enjoy the frozen treats. Anyone sharing the recipes?

  • Jessica P.

    If you are taking a stroll and have time on your hands... Might as well go to Leopold's. The line will be very long but it moves quickly. They have an assortment of flavors and options (cones, bowl, sundaes, etc.). I had the coffee ice cream with hot fudge on top. Delicious!

    (5)
  • Lynn H.

    SO GOOD! I had the banana split, the guy let me personalize it since I didn't want the classic version, so that was nice. Seriously every flavor is just about good, and I know this because they let you taste it first :). Go try it!

  • Frank M.

    Ice Cream!! This shop located at the east end of the Historic Downtown area has lots of history, mostly from owner Leopold. The film history with pictures of actors are impressive. But the true draw to this place is the ice cream. The service is also great, with Southern hospitality from the entire staff. There are several ice cream flavors but not so many that you have a hard time choosing. PLUS, they have seasonal flavors to choose from. I was luck to try Huckleberry Cheesecake (June flavor), which I absolutely loved!! There are plenty of ice cream and sweet shops in Savannah, but this one is probably the best, hands down.

  • Ann S.

    We waited with the masses for this place to open (11am) and got in pretty quickly. We decided to go for a hot fudge sundae. I got peanut butter chippy and caramel swirl. It was really good, particularly the peanut butter. The line was steady coming in and going out so be ready to wait a bit.

  • Rebecca K.

    Jeebus this place is good...there's always a line, but it moves quickly and there's some nice shops nearby to look at anyway. If the line is REALLY long, someone will usually come out to pour you water and bring you menus. Now, on to the ice cream. I always feel guilty about trying like 3 different flavors, but they all sound so good! My favorites are the thin mint + chewies (basically pieces of Thin Mints in ice cream), chocolate raspberry swirl (OMG so good), and the jetBlueberry (ha gotta love sponsorship). I've also tried their hot fudge sundae, which is basically ice cream with hot fudge in it, but I think their hot fudge has crack in it? I ate it and just about creamed my pants. So. Good. Super rich, you probably won't be able to finish it...the boyfriend added banana slices to it which was so yum. It's just amazing how creamy their ice cream...I've been so many times...no regrets.

    Leopold's is another one of the Savannah institutions that actually lives up to the hype. If you are an ice cream lover, you must go. The line will almost always be out the door and down the street, but it is so worth it. The service is really friendly and it has that classic old soda-shoppe ice cream counter aesthetic. The staff wear very classic white and red outfits with old school folded caps. It's an experience. The ice cream is among the best I've ever had. The great thing about Leopold's is that the have a plethora of flavors to choose from including seasonal offerings and things you can't find anywhere else. My personal favorite is the honey almond cream and I nearly cried when it was sold out the last time I went. Why isn't honey ice cream a thing anywhere else? It's so stinking good. The ice cream is rich, creamy, and jam packed with slivered almonds. It pairs perfectly with a waffle cone. Learn from my mistake though: don't order a double ice cream cone. It's the size of an adult human head. I ate it all, but it was a challenge. Their milkshakes are also very good: thick, creamy, and flavorful. You can't go to Savannah and skip Leopold's, really. It would be a crime.

  • Mike H.

    The long line moved relatively quickly so no demerits for the wait. I tasted coconut and honey almond, these were both very good with nice texture of real coconut and amond pieces in the ice cream. My wife had lemon. I tried it too. There was no lemon flavor. Overall, good quality ice cream but can only give 3 stars based on the disappointing lemon.

    (3)
  • Sarah C.

    We are quite the ice cream experts, and here's to these heroes of the cone! Not only is everything delicious and homemade, but the service is FAST and friendly. They allowed the kids in front of us to taste several different varieties and didn't rush them, but the next person available went ahead and took our order so that we could be on our way. This is a MUST stop while in Savannah.

  • Chris O.

    ***Yes, the ice cream really is as good as everybody says.*** Leopold's had a small cart giving out free samples in the Savannah airport the day we landed. I tried the Butter Pecan, which is a flavor I usually enjoy, and it was the best butter pecan I've ever had. Later, I had the Lemon Custard and the Tutti Frutti in the store (two flavors I picked mostly because they were the original 1919 recipes). The Lemon Custard was also fantastic, probably the second best lemon ice cream I've ever had. The Tutti Frutti was also very good. On our last day, I had a run-off between the Butter Pecan and the Lemon Custard, and Butter Pecan was the overall winner. ***Yes, the lines really are as long as everybody says.*** On our first visit to the store, the line was probably 20 feet out the door, which was probably about a 10-15 minute wait. On our second visit, the line was about 50 feet out the door, so we left and came back after dinner, and the line was back to about 20 feet out the door, which was again about a 10-15 minute wait. There is no real shade until you get pretty close to the door, so standing outside in the blazing sun can be miserable. There is often an employee that goes up and down the line handing out cups of cold water, which helps.

  • Olivia S.

    One of the best ice creams I've ever had. My friend's scoop of coconut ice cream was deliciously creamy with bits of shredded coconut flakes. Damn, after one taste, I just wanted to order more!!! But don't get me wrong, I was in love with my order too (a caffe leopold). A shot of espresso over a creamy scoop of honey almond & cream. I loved the almond slices, which added a nice variety in texture. It was a cup of heavenly goodness. Leopold's added the right amount of fat content in each batch of ice cream so that no scoop would be skimping out on anything or too rich in flavor - yeup, just right!

  • Jason V.

    This is some serious ice cream. Made fresh in house. I had the butter pecan. It had to be one of the best I have had. Well worth the visit.

  • Esther K.

    We did a food tour and although this place was not part of the food tour, our tour guide did point this ice cream shop out as one of the best in the country. We can tell by the line that it must be something worthwhile. After our food tour, we ended up stopping by here for some ice cream. They do have a lot of interesting flavors. I ended up trying the honey almond (since we were in Savannah and honey is a big thing here). It really did have a strong honey taste which I was thrilled about since, I am a huge honey fan. The line goes by pretty quickly so I would say, if you see a line don't be intimidated by it. Just jump in line and get your ice cream fix!

    Ice cream is awesome. Great pure tasting ice cream. Coconut was very good but the Savannah Special was delicious you got to try it. I ate ice cream everyday I was here. That was 7 days straight that's how good they are.

    Some of the best, creamiest ice cream. Great atmosphere, but who wouldn't be happy eating ice cream on a hot summer day. We were warned that there might be a line, but no issue on a late weekday afternoon. Rum raisin was best I ever had.

    (5)
  • Elle O.

    It'd be the best ice cream in the world, if I'd never had ice cream before. This is definitely not worth the wait. It's good ice cream but even a line a little out the door takes forever as nobody seems capable of making a choice. If you have an hour to waste standing in 100 degree heat with sweaty strangers, go enjoy this slightly above average tasting ice cream. But make up your mind before you get inside. Props to the staff who deal with ya'll.

  • Jan M.

    My husband and have a practice of trying ice cream parlor during the summer months. After reading the reviews we decided to try Leopold's. We arrived just in a nick of time when the line ended with us having about 10 people ahead of us. My time we got our ice cream it was going down the block. We were not impressed with the ice cream here. My husband had a coconut flavor that was truly lacking in flavor compared to what we've eaten elsewhere. Not sure what all the hype is about this place. I cannot even remember the flavor I got but it was better than my husband's. I found us seating while he purchased our ice cream because I was afraid we would not get a place to sit. All in all we can say we tried it but find no reason to repeat this experience when in the Savannah area. I will say that the staff was very courteous and there was someone offering water while we waited in line-it was very hot.

    Wait was 20 mins for an ice cream cone but it was worth it. We had 2 scoops with a waffle cone. I had the coffee chocolate chip and plain chocolate. It was amazing. My wife had the butter pecan and a scoop of chocolate and it was also very good.

    It's ice cream. They def load it full of stuff, and there are lines around the block, but it's not like the best thing I've ever had. Most ice cream is pretty good, and this was def good, but I can add stuff to ice cream too at home.

    We bought the hype and stood in line for this famous ice cream. The line moved very quickly and the employees came around with menus so that we were ready to order when it was our turn. Everyone was friendly and efficient, but the ice cream was just average. Maybe we went in when too high expectations? It was certainly good, but nothing outstanding.

  • Mercedes Y.

    Awesome way to beat the heat in Savannah! Really great ice cream and great atmosphere. The employee's were handing out water which helped with the heat. The line moved pretty quickly when I went. Must go to when in Savannah!

  • Joanna V.

    My family and I pulled up to Leopold's and the line was down the block. We all looked at each other and all thought, "I hope it's worth it." We waited in the line, which moved pretty well and finally made it to the front. There were a lot of interesting flavors to choose from, so it was a bit hard. I went with the Lavender and the honey almond. My husband got dark chocolate and peanut butter and my mother in law got butter pecan. We all took one bite and looked at each other. This was worth the wait, and then some. We each tried each others and every bite was better than the next. Just unreal how good this ice cream is. A MUST in Savannah.

  • Dylan R.

    There is usually a line out the door for this place, but the shortest wait seems to be before 12PM. I had the Butter Pecan and the Honey Almond, both were phenomenal. Leopold's ice cream is extremely creamy, and the ice cream itself is very flavorful, and full of nuts. It's the kind that is probably not so good for you, so you'd think that getting one scoop is enough, but when you finish your one scoop, you'll kick yourself for not getting two scoops. Just save yourself the frustration and get two scoops right off the bat. Yes. It's that good.

    (5)
  • Elle W.

    It wasn't just the heat talking... this place has some seriously good ice cream. They let you try all sort of flavors, which I tried hard not to abuse and only tried 2 kinds. I got a triple scoop in a waffle cone, and it was one of the highlights of my trip. I kept it simple - Mint Chocolate Chip, Chocolate, Vanilla - because I was still getting over all the fried food I had over the weekend. Yummmmm... Leaving Leopold's to go back into the 90 degree weather was one of the hardest things I've ever done.

    The one and only place for ice cream when you are in downtown Savannah. My favs are the chocolate raspberry, the caramel swirl and the honey almond cream.

  • Noemi O.

    First time here I had two scoops...butter pecan and pistachio. The butter pecan was too sweet for my taste. The pistachio was out of this world good!! Went back the next day for a single scoop of the pistachio. Tried a few other flavors, and they were all too sweet for me--but that pistachio, yum!!

    (4)
  • Crystal P.

    even as I was feeling sick I felt we had to come here to have the ice cream because well come on, it's been around forever and everyone was like you have to go there. I should have waited until the next day for ice cream after a day of sweets/food galore but couldn't resist lol. of course being sick later it was still worth it for the delicious ice cream. I only wish we could have gone back the next day but no I still had to feel sick :( and no it's not this places fault btw lol... my own fault for wanting to eat everything in Savannah ;)

  • Prabodh M.

    This is one of the supposedly "must visit" places in trip advisor. So we went there despite the hour long queue. We tried pistachio, float (coke + vanilla) and tutti fruti. The ice creams were good but not worth the long wait. These guys should do a better job in managing the customers.

    (3)
  • Ashley C.

    Nothing was special about this place. Just average icecream , extremely over priced..4 dollars for a scoop ?! I wasn't feeling it. And the line was outrageous.. don't plan on going out of my way for this place.

  • Leilani A.

    Went back here again and once again delicious! I wanted the cookie sandwich but I was too full from going to the noodle bar. So I got the Pb chippy kids scoop ice cream( they stuffed it to the max) and a warmed chocolate chip cookie, in which I combined all in one cup. Best decision of my life with all the peanut butter and chocolate flavors in a warm gooey mess. If you cant quite fit in a cookie sandwich then get 1 cookie and a small ice cream of your choice, this will surely fill your happy tummy!

    This ice cream place is ancient, probably built during the 1900's. There's so many history in this little place, hanging on the walls you can see photographs of famous holly wood stars, presidents, writers, or movie producers. You may one day run into a famous celebrity and get your pictures taken on national news. For many visitors Leopold's is known for their ice cream, shrimp bisque, and signature shakes. Everything is made fresh daily and from scratch. Each holiday they have new flavors of ice cream which is classify with the season such as Pumpkin spice, Japanese cherry blossom, huckleberry cheesecake, and Chatham artillery punch sorbet. Around 9-11 PM there is a huge line around the corner, you might want to get there early. I recommend trying their complex ice cream specialty instead of their plain flavor because the complex ice cream is amazing in its own unique way.

  • Jamie D.

    Awesome ice cream worth going to just for the experience. Love the vibe and history of the place. I won't stand in line, but if you see the doors open and no line recommend stopping in!

  • Wendy W.

    Our tour guide mentioned this place for a reason: a perfect treat for Savannah summers! The line was out the door but went fairly quickly. While the employees are all scattered behind the counter, they were able to keep track and get the ice creams of my party of 6. I got chocolate raspberry in a waffle cone and my boyfriend got the run bisque. the chocolate was rich and the raspberry jam was sweet, a really nice mix of flavors. The run bisque was buttery and the waffle cone was crisp. Nice place with very homey interior. No wonder it's a go-to whenever visiting Savannah.

    If there's a culinary food chain in Savannah, Leopold's Ice Cream is somewhere near the top. Everyone knows it, and I was fortunate enough to stroll in during Leopold's 95th birthday bash, which resulted in the whole block being shut down and discount prices in effect. The verdict? It's good ice cream served in a brilliant atmosphere, but when it comes to the product I wasn't blown away. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? The service and atmosphere at Leopold's really are the crown jewels. The fantastic location and historical building are a walk through time, and it's complimented by excellent service who can churn through even an overwhelming line in a reasonable amount of time. Star Granted. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? Leopold's anniversary brought $0.95 single scoops, which is a deal and a half, but I was told that a standard double scoop typically runs $5.00, which is fair considering that these were sizable scoops. Star Granted. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? Good ice cream, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't the best I've had, and the flavor selection could have used an upgrade. I'm typically pretty traditional, opting for flavors like Chocolate Chocolate Chip and Caramel Ribbon, both of which I got here. They were good, but I would have loved to mix it up with a Cookies n' Cream or something a bit crazy. Flavor? Rich. Consistency? Good, but it didn't blow me away. Single Star Granted. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? You should come to Leopold's if you're in Savannah, but don't expect the best ice cream of all time. No Star Granted.

    This place was beyond amazing. I wish there would be one in Miami but it would but the small town feel just wouldn't be there. I had a peanut-butter shake (Would definitely recommend) If you're in town for any amount of time this is a place that you need to visit. The service is great, the space is very unique, and there are many flavors to pick out from. I decided to go for the shake because I'm a sucker for all milkshakes.

    The long lines are well worth the wait. Friendly service and they even send an employee out to offer water to those waiting in line. I had a hot fudge sundae and it was delicious! I hope to get back there again soon!

    While on a walking tour of Savannah with Savannah Dan, he pointed out Leopold's, told us of its history and recommended that we stop by post-tour and order a chocolate shake Savannah Dan style. Dan claimed that it would be the chocolatiest shake we'd ever try. Being a chocolate lover and seeing as how ice cream is my favorite of all desserts, I knew we had to go. Dan warned us of the long lines and said it was worth the wait. I was the only one who ordered the shake from our party, but we all enjoyed everything we tried. The line moved quickly and we enjoyed reading about the evolution of the ice creamery while we waited. It's centrally located to many of the squares and provides a cool respite on the steamiest Savannah day. When my travels take me to Savannah again, I'll definitely make a run to Leopold's.

    All the hype is well-deserved. The ice cream is arguably some of the best I've ever tasted, with so many to choose from too. Service was quick and friendly. With the high number of customers flowing through, they should do a better job of keeping the dining area clean. Almost every table had ice cream dripped onto it. Aside from that, everything else was great.

  • Nathasja T.

    Holy balls of ice cream! I swear this has to be the best ice cream I have ever had, and I defo don't regret getting double scoops. Absolutely delicious. Leopolds is an old charm ice cream parlor with a rich history filled with decadent treats. The people that work here are friendly and litterally everything I have tasted was amazing. The ice cream is incredibly creamy and fresh tasting. Sometimes ice cream has ice crystals in it or that strange gummy funk to it, but not at Leopolds. What it does have is amazingly true flavors, age old recipes and (what must be) an insane high cream level. Samples are given out free and with a smile, this aids in choosing which to order OR can make you confused and panick ridden because you want to order all the ice creams all the time. I opted for the honey-almond ice cream. It was creamy and dreamy with a wonderfully light honey flavor, and the almond slivers provided a nice texture. My second scoop was straight up caramel flavor and it was very good. My stepdaughter choose dark chocolate raspberry, the raspberry sauce which is woven throughout is made in-house. It was so rich and decadent, what an awesome choice. My husband ordered the lemon custard flavor which was incredible. They serve small food items like sandwiches, and offer home made old fashioned soda. We ordered a cherry soda to share and it was great. Because old recipes are used the soda was not cloyingly sweet, it had a pleasant cherry flavor!

    Heard this place mentioned a few times while on tours around the historic area. Couldn't wait to try it! Had the lavender ice cream in a 2-scoop cone and LOVED it. They let you sample to your heart's content and have some flavors you wouldn't normally find in regular ice cream shops. We highly recommend!

  • Adam L.

    You need this place I'm your life. It's a classic style ice cream/ malt shop with a small lunch menu to choose from. Wide array of flavors of ice cream made on site. They also rotate the flavors depending on season and holidays.

  • Sloan S.

    Stopped in here last night for a scoop (or two!) and to see what all of the buzz was about. There wasn't much of a line but being able to walk in and wait a second actually helped us out, since we both weren't sure what we wanted and we had no idea what flavors were available. I previously saw on Yelp to sample at least five flavors before settling on a choice, but I only made it about two before choosing pistachio. I didn't even think I liked pistachio, but the young girl behind the counter said it was her favorite, so I opted to give it a try. Wow! It was honestly some of the best ice cream I ever had. I also tasted the lemon custard which would have been my next choice. My boyfriend had the peanut butter chippy, which he raved about. Two scoops for him and one for me was under $10; I'd say that's pretty reasonable. Wish I was a local so I could visit more often!

  • Kieran M.

    Leopald's was good. Pretty much what I would expect out of a decent ice cream place, but definitely overhyped (proved by long lines in oppressive heat). The big plus for me was the staff. They were awesome. Extremely friendly and willing to let you try all of their ice cream flavors. The highlight of the ice cream was probably the honey almond, but again...it was just ice cream, so it did not blow me away at all. Maybe it's not fair, b/c they are a juggernaut, but Ben & Jerry's smokes this place.

    If I could give this place six stars, I would. Leopold's is some of the best ice cream I have ever had. The parlor has such a great vintage atmosphere and the employees are so nice. Some of my favorite flavors are pistachio and lemon custard. One thing I must say is that the line is always long. It is the most popular spot in all of Savannah, so it makes sense. I advise you to wait in the line because it is well worth it. I stood in line in 99 degree heat for a half an hour to get my ice cream and it was absolutely worth it. One of the employees even came out to the line and gave us complimentary water in cups. Leopold's is a great spot for a date or to bring the family.

    Awesome old-fashioned ice cream shop!! The line was out the door, but worth it. I love the feel of the place (well, the town in general). It's location right next to SCAD's Trustees Theatre makes it all the better. I am a classic film and classic ice cream lover so 5 stars from me!!

    I waited in line for 30 minutes. I was happy to wait for a good ice cream because the weather was nice and yelp ratings were really good.... I was excited to see different flavors.. Tried lavender.. Tasted so fake...I got two scoops (chocolate and honey almond) in a waffle cone. As soon as we walked out.. it started to melt like crazy. About half way done.. I find something shining. I am Asian.. the guy that served our ice cream had black hair..there was a long blonde hair in my chocolate ice cream.. Waited 30 minutes to get a melting ice cream with someone's hair in it. Plus, nothing special about the flavors.. I think ice creams like publix premium or haagen-daz ice creams that you can easily get at grocery stores taste so much better.

    Long line but it moves fast. Great service, AMAZING ice cream. If you're into coconut, their coconut ice cream is the best I've ever had! It has little flakes if sweetened coconut throughout! As I was writing this review, my mom, who "didn't want ice cream," just finished my scoop. -____- It's almost worth another wait in the line.

    I challenge you to find any Savannah guide book that does not recommend Leopold's. Georgia was State #28 on my list and everyone I talked to before my trip said I had to go here. They have so many flavor options it was a bit overwhelming. Tutti Fruity is a crowd favorite but I settled on the much less exotic Vanilla ice cream. Boring? Maybe, but I believe if you can't do Vanilla ice cream right then the rest of the flavors can't be that good. I can proudly report back that their Vanilla ice cream was wonderful!

    Wow. PISTACHIO LOTS of pistachio in this ice cream. Really really yummy! RUM BISQUE The cookie crumbles are really delicious in this ice cream. I keep thinking they would be soft but they are crunchy and delicious.

  • Rachel H.

    The line here can get very very long, as in out the door and around the corner long. The ice cream is good and they have a ton of flavors to choose from and some are classic and some seem extremely unique. The service is good, they try to help you as soon as the next person is done. There is seating in the inside and a few tables (3-4) outside. On a nice night the wait is fine but I recommend coming here if you want Ice cream and want to look at cool movie posters!

    Leopold's is great! They have a large selection of ice cream, reasonable prices, and the service is quick. I was really surprised by how quick the service was given that the line of people was close to the door. Often times in the afternoon, the line is out the door and on the sidewalk. The ice cream is homemade and so creamy. I had one scoop of chocolate chocolate chip and one scoop of strawberry. The chocolate chocolate chip was very chocolatey and had small pieces of chocolate chip throughout. The strawberry was creamy with pieces of real strawberry. You can never go wrong with a chocolate and strawberry combination. Leopold's is famous for their Tutti Fruitti flavor of ice cream. A person in my party got it and loved it. It has nuts, so if you don't like nuts or have a nut allergy - that wouldn't be the best idea. This is definitely a place to check out on any trip to Savannah.

    Fab road trip stop! In NC we decided ice cream so I searched the map to find a place off 95 and what is better than Savannah for a stop! We loved 5 of 6 flavors and the peanut butter and honey and almond were the best. The lemon curd had a strange after taste. Love the location and history and the old soda jerk uniforms:)

    In my very first visit to Savannah with my girlfriend & her daughter to check out 'The Savannah College of Art & Design' we put Leopold's on our list because all the local trolley drivers said we should try it out & it was going to be in the 'Sponge Bob' movie. Well, who doesn't want ice cream on vacation? No matter how mini of a vacation I still always use it as an excuse to say "I'm on vacation & I'm having ice cream". OK, enough about me, This historical little quaint ice cream shop was packed, line out the door, we gave each other that 'do we want to wait' look. But, it moved VERY quickly & the counter employees were on Point & fresh and friendly. I loved it! They made you feel like you were the only customer in the store when it was your turn. I even bought a couple of t-shirts & she threw in some paper ice cream hats for the kids (the ones that I talked about back in Florida because they were not with me) I had coffee ice cream in a waffle cone upside down in a bowl... I can't remember how I ended up with that, some super conversation I had with my very friendly personal counter server. And it was delicious, superb home made style ice cream. Melts fast but always refreshing kind of ice cream. Totally yummylicious.

    Do you know anyone that hates ice cream? Food: I cleem Quantity: 2 scoops Price: Free is best Noise: No matter how old you are, there is just something about ice cream that makes us squeal: yeeeeee! Attire: Your birthday suit Service: Excellent Parking: Street Ordered: Chocolate in a cup and pistachio on a cone. Both were great considering it was 90+ degrees outside. One regret: that I didn't swim in it Side Note: Since the line makes its way outside the perimeters of their blizzard like air conditioned shop, a nice lady would come out and offer you a nice cold cup of water, free of charge. Sigh, Southern hospitality.

    I liked my chocolate chocolate chip better than my dining companion liked the rum raison, whose flavor was deemed to be overwhelming. This would be a 3.5 star review if such an award were possible.

    What a local treat. Don't let the long line discourage you, it moves quickly. Sample first - but everything is delicious. Even got to see the current owner working which is always nice. Keep your money local and support local.

    Revisited this awesome icecream joint last night after our fireworks cruise. I ordered the chocolate chewies and cream and my sweetie ordered the jet blueberry. My ice-cream was a vanilla base with chocolate chips, brownies and pecans inside. Omg!!!! Awesome!!!! If it was only 1 calorie I would've eaten the whole gallon. My sweeties ice-cream shake was just as delicious which they incorporated fresh blueberries into the ice-cream. This treat ended my Fourth of July lovely

    omg. we spent our first day in savannah on monday and went back downtown for dessert at leopolds. and just had to go back on tuesday. and AGAIN on wednesday. thank god we're leaving tmrw... the ice cream is addicting. it is SO good. the staff is totally awesomely friendly and eager to please. the servings are generous, which makes the pricing so reasonable. we had several different flavors over our 3 visits and they were all exceptional. on the last night, i had a hot fudge sundae, and now there is a new bar for all other sundaes to meet - doubtful any ever will, leopold's is that great.

    I'm from Texas which is Blue Bell country but Leopold's is defiantly a strong contender. When we walked up, the line was out the door and down the sidewalk but the wait is worth it! Wanted to check out the seasonal flavors so I decided on Thin Mints 'n' Cream. Being a former Girl Scout, I can easily say that Juliette Gordon Low would be pleased with this ice cream because I sure was! If you are visiting or new to the city, I would absolutely make a point to get a scoop or two from Leopold's.

    First thing we noticed walking in was how much staff they had. It was a little odd to walk in when it wasn't busy and all the staff is just behind the counter smiling at you. However it was soon obvious why they had so much staff because about ten minutes after we arrived it started to get busy! The ice cream is definitely better than your average place and the store is decorated with old time memorabilia and family photos, very cute!

    Pretty great ice cream. Just terrible service. It was my first time here tonight, and I heard great things about the ice cream thanks to yelp, and when I arrived I was clueless to how things tasted. The guy who served us never offered me samples (I had to ask for them), and it seemed like he hated working there and was taking it out on his customers with his attitude. The cashier was nicer, and I asked her for her opinion on the espresso, or cappuccino, and she politely told me her opinion. I ordered the almond honey ice cream which was really good. I would recommend it if you're palate enjoys honey flavors, and chunks of almond slices. And the cappuccino was nice and strong (if you're into that). My partner ordered tutti frutti, and she really enjoyed it. If you're into a panettone type of flavor with some strawberry in the mix then I recommend this.

    Went to downtown Savannah last night to grab some pizza with a few friends. Decided to get some ice cream. As we walked to the door at 9:55pm they were closing the manager let us in for a take out. We went in young lady by the name of Sydney help us out with another young man they were very helpful double chocolate chip was the first flavor I tried and knew it was going to be my choice. Sydney recommended I get the hot fudge and boy was her recommendation the best. It was simply amazing my friends got some shakes red rose which wasn't to bad but not my cup of tea. All in all the service was excellent and I do highly recommend this ice cream parlor to whoever is in the area for dessert or even lunch noticed they had a lunch menu!

  • Rachel N.

    Where can I begin. Every time I eat their ice cream I seriously lose a pound on the scale. I have no idea what's in this wonderful invention of ice cream but I do hear that it is gluten free if that's any consolation prize. I count the months and days before the rose petal ice cream comes the lavender and the Guinness are very good too. There is something about their homemade hot fudge that you can't get that taste anywhere else in the world. Trust me I've been all over. The service is always top notch and it's just something about the place that makes you feel good. It's a win win in my book I will keep coming here for all the years to come.

    If there's one thing I love, it's ice cream. If I could have it for each meal, I would, but these smooth J-Lo hips aren't gonna maintain their shapely figure on their own, so I'm reduced to eating it moderately..... which, for a normal person, is still probably a lot. Anyways, Leopold's was something else. I'm from the Atlanta metro area and I'm used to being spoiled by frozen treats by the likes of King of Pops, Morelli's, or Honey Suckle Gelato. But Leopold's is probably the best ice cream I have ever had in my life. When I made my way around the block, I noticed a Disney Land-sized line waiting outside the store front. It was worth it. Surprisingly, the line moved quickly, which is a great testament to the amazing staff. I was received very warmly and my requests for different samples were met with cheerful smiles. The Tutti Frutti is their most popular item, but it wasn't my cup of tea. Instead, I had one scoop of rum bisque and one scoop of caramel swirl on a waffle cone. The rum bisque was a creamy vanilla base laced with bits of boozy biscotti-tasting tid-bits inside, and the vanilla caramel swirl had that same creamy base with really good quality caramel sauce. After we got ice cream wasted, I somehow managed to slur to my friend if he would have waited twice as long if he had known it would be that good. It took him a moment to realize what was going on, but he said yes.

    After lunch at zunzi's me and my family stopped in here for ice cream. I got one scoop on a cake cone. I can't remember the name but it was something like George's favorite and had a mix of two different flavors with pecan. Very delicious ice cream beautiful inside very nostalgic the staff is very friendly and they wear old 50s style hats it brings you back to a time that was much different.

  • Viviane V.

    Definitely one the best ice cream I have ever had. I had the rum bisque and it was amazing. The sweetness of the ice cream is just right and there was a good amount of nuts in every bite. It's quite creamy too. My husband had a float which he also enjoyed. If you want a cone of perfect sweetness, you have to try Leopold's Ice Cream.

    Everywhere we travel we have to try the icecream and Leopolds was the place to check out. The lines was really long but moved quickly and they are great about providing water while you wait. The icecream was incredible, creamy, smooth and very flavorful. I could've easily gone every day of our visit :) A def Savannah MUST

  • Stephanie K.

    As if this place needs any more 5-star reviews...but Leopold's is officially the best ice cream I've ever had. The consistency is spot on - creamy, luscious, and milky. Just how ice cream should be! Flavors are constantly changing based on the season (there were lots of floral flavors for May). I tried 3 samples and the boy taking my order seemed really annoyed with me. My sister joked that I was being greedy. Is there a magic number of samples that is socially acceptable at ice cream shops?! The guy acted like I just stepped on a puppy.. Anyhoo, my favorite flavor was chocolate raspberry. I usually don't go for chocolate since you can get it anywhere, but this is so worth it. Leopold's is a must visit if you're in Savannah!

  • Breyana D.

    It's a very nice place to have ice cream in savannah. It's old fashion so it's not your typical flavors. They also serve other foods such as smoothies, yogurts, and deli items. Some of my favorite flavors are lavendar and vanilla almond. Definitely a much try while in savannah!

  • Jeff D.

    Went here on a whim as I was walking back to my hotel and couldn't understand why there was a line out the door. I waited about ten minutes until I got to the counter and ordered chocolate chocolate chip ice cream. I've had a lot of ice cream in my day and I'd like to say this is the best I've ever had, but I'll be conservative and call it top-3. Worth a stop if you go to Savannah.

    Must try. It's almost a requirement if visiting Savannah. This ice cream has a long history in the city and secret family recipe. Our group of 8 gave the highest marks to the chocolate shake. Our chocolate lovers seemed to like the ice cream most.

    Overrated! Nice pictures, but it's not worth the parking. The price do not match the flavor. It was not the best. I bought a group of friends and stood in a long line and the flavor and richness was lacking. I must say they have a lot of flavors and you are invited to taste them.

  • Heather s.

    If you're in Savannah, you must stop by and get some old fashioned ice cream here! Don't let the long line deter you - it moves along fairly quickly. One of the servers comes through and offers you the menu and water to quench your thirst while you're waiting. Good ole southern hospitality! Their flavors vary with the season and the month. You MUST try the PISTACHIO! My husband got it and I was nice enough to only steal three bites. But wow, it was the most amazing pistachio ice cream ever!! My mocha chocolate chip was pretty good as well. Great ice cream parlor ambiance complete with jukebox and old school Coca Cola fridge. The walls are lined with movie memorabilia from the producer Leopold brother.

    The peanut butter ice cream was amazing! The line is pretty long but the employees are super fast at what they do, even with people asking for samples. My husband and I had a great time while we ate our ice cream in the sitting area. There was a lot of neat movie memorabilia to look at. My only complaint is that we attempted to go right when it opened. My husband and I got there at around 10:45, which is only 15 minutes before they opened. (Yes, we wanted ice cream for breakfast, we were on vacation!!) There was a woman out front that was cleaning the glass for the parlor and she gave us some really nasty looks and was incredibly huffy when she was cleaning near us. This made us very uncomfortable so we decided to leave. I know it sounds silly, but this employee really made us feel like an unwelcome inconvenience. We came back the next day at around 4 p.m. and there were no further issues.

    The best ice cream I have ever had -- and service for that matter -- is from The Ice Cream Store in Rehoboth Beach, DE. Ah... real vanilla bean homemade ice cream. Well, before my mind wanders to far...back to Leopold's. Service is very friendly. Love the vibe of the place. To me it seems like you are being transported back in time to a simpler, and probably easier world. Lines can be long but they move quickly. There is real food served here too but all I came for was the ice cream. The place has become a legend for SCAD students and I can see why. I may have gone boring by ordering a vanilla shake but I was still satisfied with the cold goodness on a warm night in the middle of spring.

    What's not to love, it's ice cream! There was a line (there always is) but it was worth the wait. I had the lemon custard - sweet and delicious. I tasted the butter pecan and will need to come back for that the next time.

  • Jessica S.

    Was pointed in the direction of Leopold's by a Savannah local. I split a hot fudge sundae that had chocolate chip and peanut butter fudge ice cream. The ice cream was awesome and I loved the setting. There was a lot of cool movie posters and memorabilia to look at.

  • Scott G.

    I'm not sure I can give much more praise to this place. It's one of the best-loved places in Savannah and understandably so. The atmosphere, the ice cream and the service are all top-notch here and the line out the front door that you usually meet proves that even more. The ice cream here is really good. While I've had some comparable ice cream, I can't say I've had any ice cream that is better than Leopold's. The ingredients they use are always amazing and it produces a truly quality product. Combine that with the pictures of movies and memorabilia, you can't beat it. If you're in Savannah or anywhere around it, stop in here for a sweet treat and you won't be disappointed.

    Don't be deterred by the long lines, it moves very quickly even with taste-testing allowed. I did try the Tutti-Frutti (you almost HAVE TO), but settled on my favorite Mint Chocolate Chip in a child's size scoop (plenty, unless you want a "healthy" portion of ice cream). It was probably the BEST ice cream I ever had. My friend has the Butter Pecan and said the same thing. Don't forget to check out the movie props in the restaurant. This place is a MUST VISIT.

    (5)
  • Michal F.

    They have some fantastic flavors and very long lines. I especially like the chocolate raspberry. Raspberry sauce made in house. I thought the lemon custard flavor was overhyped. The place is decked out with movie regalia because the owner is a famous movie director. Overall I thought it was cute but it did not blow me away.

  • A H.

    A wonderful if often crowded place where I can savor homemade ice cream here in Savannah! Pleasant service and a nice assortment of flavors. Line moves pretty quickly, and they make it comfortable by offering water. I am partial to Springers Homemade Ice Cream in Stone Harbor NJ, so not sure Leopolds deserves a top 5 ranking,,but it is wonderful to have a non-franchised place to get some great ice cream...makes a city so much more authentic when there are things you can only find here! It is surrounded by theaters, so if you are in Savannah for a visit, make it memorable with at least one visit at Leopolds. It is a little bit like 1955 when ice cream was a special treat!

    (5)
  • Mark W.

    Baseline for any Ice Cream Shoppe who is claiming to be among the 10 best in the entire United States is pretty simple ..... The Classic , Hot Fudge Sundae! And Leopolds does it pretty damn good! Simple in nature the elusive American Classic has to have that fudge that has the consistency of sludge..... Viscosity is key! No runny syrup... It's gotta be sludge! I might even rename it "The Hot Sludge Sundae"! Leopolds got it down another Savannah must! Best Ice Cream Parlor in America..... Is that even possible????? Regardless you'll love this place!

  • Adrianne S.

    The wait is worth it! At 9pm on a Saturday we waited about 20 minutes in line. It looked like a good mix of locals and tourists which was a good sign to me. I had the cinnamon (seasonal) and butter pecan, both of which were creamy and flavorful without being tooth-decayingly sweet. The cinnamon basically tasted like a snicker doodle cookie - major win! Hubby had chocolate-raspberry swirl which he said was perfect as well. Can't wait to return!

    (5)
  • Heather H.

    This place is very cool! The ice cream was great and sandwiches are too. I tried the peanut butter n jelly and it was toasted. My friend had the turkey and it was good as well and loaded with turkey. We both had the chocolate ice cream and it was some of the best. Definitely a cool place to dodge the heat in Savannah.

    If you live in Savannah, it would be a shame if you have never visited Leopold's Ice Cream. Before Cold Stone Creamery... before Baskin-Robbins... before my beloved Ben & Jerry's, folks got their ice cream fix at locally-owned, family-run ice cream shops on their neighborhood street corner. Founded in 1919, Leopold's Ice Cream will delight any longing for that old-fashioned ice cream parlor experience. Reopened in 2004, Leopold's is currently in a different location from the original shop; however, many of the original fixtures were incorporated in the new interior design. Both the original black marble soda fountain and wooden interior phone booth revive the old-time feel of traditional ice cream parlors. Leopold's also still retains their original, time-honored ice cream formula. Best part? Their scoops are appropriately priced, unlike conventional ice cream chains. At first glance, prices may appear steep, but portions are generous (in a good way). In addition, the staff is friendly and welcoming; overwhelmed with choices, I was offered samples with a smile which created a more pleasurable experience during my visit. Short, sweet, and to the point, Leopold's Ice Cream is an old-fashioned family run sweet spot that will surely satisfy your sweet tooth.

  • Christine G.

    I will say that I still have my favorite place out in Ohio, but Leopold's is still delicious. I had the butter pecan and it was really good. A single scoop is like a double scoop to it. Still has the 1910s feel to it too!! Be prepared for a line out the door, but it moves at a decent pace. One of the waiters even came out with water and menus. Cute little place to go to!

    Went here recently for a family wedding on jekyll island. I loved the history of this place. I love how their was memorabilia from the earlier years and the story that went along with this ice cream shop. This blows Ghirardelli ' s and edy's or any other ice cream place that you frequent out of the water. The ice cream was smooth and creamy with a good amount of flavor. It is all homemade. Highly recommend that you stop by this place I'd you are ever in savannah. It was the highlight of our day trip. Truly. It does get packed though.

  • Emilee B.

    There were a lot of foodies on here raving about "Leopold's," so we tried it. It did not impress me at all. The Lemon Custard did not taste a bit like Lemon. The chocolate tasted like pure cocoa, although the butter pecan was decent. The ice cream tasted just like any other ice cream shop I have been to, nothing special. This place is overrated.

    (3)
  • Matt M.

    First, let me say I have had much better ice cream in places like Ultimate Ice Cream (Asheville) and The Dreamette (Jacksonville). However, I really enjoyed my visit to Leppold's. The story is that the family came to the US from Greece and developed their own ice cream recipes in 1919. However Stratton Leopoldo went to Hollywood and produced a number of big budget movies, posters of which are displayed on the walls. He re-opened the ice cream shop and is using the same recipes the family developed in 1919. The ice cream is really good, but the servers are less than friendly and the ice cream is good.

  • Cat S.

    Created by an ex movie producer. Opens at 11am. Pretty general ice cream parlor but worth the stop in. staff is very friendly. TIP: tutti-frutti is the staple flavor but I didn't get that one. check out the phone booth while you are there. buy a lottery ticket around the corner - we won free ice cream. :)

After suffering from near heat exhaustion after spending the day outside in sweltering Savannah and being way too tired to venture out again at night, I was about to skip out on this place but I mustered up energy to come out here for a midnight ice cream excursion.Let's just say I was all better after I had this ice cream! Super creamy and tons of flavors to choose from. I had chocolate mocha and it was awesome. No artificial colors and all natural ice cream, a huge bonus for me! Sad i didn't try to famous tutti frutti though. The people who work here are really nice. If you're ever in Savannah, this is a place you have to check out!

    Line was long but that was expected. What wasnt expected, however, was the terrible service. The gentleman who was scooping our ice cream not only repeated the order wrong three (!!!) times but also decided to turn around in the middle of our order and start filling out a schedule that was posted on a fridge behind the counter. When we called him he didnt answer. We asked another young lady to get him and pointed out that there are three of us and so far he only got one ice cream to which he replied "yeah, but this is something i have to do." Ok, weird, i thought get customers' orders was something he had to do. Bottom line: slow, terrible service with an attitude but delicious ice cream hence two stars. Get the honey almond should you decide to be brave and actually go there.

    Amazing ice cream. I had a malted Chocolate shake "Savannah Dan Style." It was extraordinary. The owner clearly enjoys his interaction with his customers. I only wish we had this experience back home.

    Ice cream is delicious. Like the old style ice cream shop feel. The line gets a little crazy though, and it doesn't seem to be worth waiting a ridiculously long time though. The ice cream is good, but not for a 30 minute wait. When the line isn't long though, I would definitely return.

    A must when you are in Savannah. Incredible staff and atmosphere; very nostalgic. Be prepared for a long line. Prices are reasonable and their lunch menu looked great. I look forward to a return visit for lunch and more ice cream.

    the owner emailed me after my review and asked to give them another try. so I tried to contact him a week before I came back in town. No luck. tried again when I was in town for a week.. no luck.. So I have to stay with my 1st review. DONT GO ITS A TOURST TRAP.

    Very delicious ice cream! They have a great selection to choose from. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. When you walk in it feels like time paused here because it still felt like the 40's still. That part was really cool to see. They even have a juke box here.

    Great ice cream! Brought our Girl Scout troop for lunch - preordered, but they wrote down the wrong day. Made it right by having the girls choose their ice cream first while they packed our lunches. Gave us 25% off for the inconvenience...we arrived early (by 11:40) and there was enough open seats for our group of 10. When we were finished it was definitely picking up, so early is good!

    I enjoyed the pistachio ice cream! The restaurant is clean and the line moved pretty fast. I was able to get served in less than five minutes. I found a place to sit, and was able to enjoy my pistachio ice cream as I looked at the movie memorabilia. I do have a dairy allergy, but every once and a while I treat myself to some ice cream. This pistachio ice cream was totally worth it!

    Leopold's is famous for a reason. They do one thing and they do it DAMN good. The ice cream is fabulous. The ambiance is fun and employees have always been very friendly and patient when I'm taking forever to ultimately order the same thing I always do... honey almond. Yum!

  • Jennifer B.

    Amazing Ice Cream. The locals were right this was definitely the place to be! I'm so glad we swung in and surprisingly missed a line on a semi cloudy day!! SO many flavors to try hope to go back to savannah soon and try a new one!

  • Erin G.

    What I ate: Mint chip ice cream for 93 cents! Visit date: August 18, 2012 First time? Yes Leopold's was turning 93 and they had a block party. What a fun time to visit Savannah! I got to experience the local flavor, complete with a game of Leopold Says and a humungo scoop of mint chip. I normally can't eat a large amount of ice cream / it makes me feel sick, but this time I ate the whole thing. Count on Leopold's for fun family time and delicious dessert!

  • Kristina W.

    Finally got a chance to dine here... Ordered the club sandwich... Nothing spectacular but good flavor. Could use more turkey ;) the pasta salad was delicious. Now... The ice cream. I went with the reviews and ordered the rum bisque with the honey almond and cream. It was indescribable!!! So creamy and full of intense flavors. My husband got the pistachio... Again we were in awe of every bite containing so many nuts unlike in Florida ;) the ice cream isn't too sweet to where it's over whelming. It's the perfect blend of flavor and cream. Must stop here every time we are in town!!

    Yummy ice cream! This place is almost worth a visit merely for the atmosphere. There aren't many old school ice cream parlours like this anymore. I got an hot fudge sundae which was very delicious- the hot fudge was some of the best I've had. I got vanilla and chocolate chocolate chip, the chocolate was awesome, very yummy. There were a ton of people behind the customer helping folks. Besides ice cream, they also have sandwiches and other food. Overall, would recommend a visit here.

  • Savvy S.

    Loved it of course. We went in March and the lines were nonexistent. The staff were sweet and let us sample to our hearts content. We got one rose water - seasonal - and one peppermint. Peppermint was the bomb! Mixed it into my coffee too. Just not sure if I would wait in those long lines though.

  • Sarah D.

    This place was so cute!! Retro style and makes for a great first date or sweet treat stop while walking around downtown Savannah. My husband and I came across Leopold's using the Yelp finder and based on previous reviews. We were not disappointed. The line was out the door but this place is worth the wait. My husband and I split a brownie sundae. It came with a warm fudge brownie and a scoop of your choice of ice cream (we chose chocolate chip), hot fudge, whipped cream and a cherry. It was the perfect size for two people. I was impressed by the selection of flavors and we will most likely stop by again before we leave town.

    (5)
  • Tommy R.

    The really long wait in the sun was not worth it. The old time theme started nice, but then I saw the Mission Impossible and Sum of All Fear posters which made no sense. The root beer float was over priced and I felt I could do the same thing at home with store bought I've cream. My dad and sister said the same. Even though it was good, it's not a must do in Savannah for me.

    You can't miss this Savannah sweet spot. Don't let the line intimidate you- it moves fast and it's worth it. Highly recommend trying a seasonal flavor like rose petal, thin mints and cream or frozen hot chocolate.

  • Casey T.

    We all scream for GREAT ice cream! Creamy, smooth, fresh. That is what you will get when you visit Leopold's. Rum bisque or honey, almond and cream were just two of the flavors to choose from along with a host of old favorites. Everyone should stop by and get this sweet treat when visiting Savannah. The calories are so worth it!

    (5)
  • Mike D.

    I don't understand why people think this place is so good. I tried the peanut butter chippy. It hardly had any taste at all. It was like some old corner store carton ice cream to me. The kind that sits in the store for a while. My wife got moca choc chip, she thought it was ok. If anyone is ever in the Ohio area try Handels ice cream it's a lot better. For all the reviews it was disappointing to stand in line for.

  • April G.

    My husband and I decided to visit Leopold's as visitors in town because it seemed to be a Savannah staple. We expected a line and there was one on a beautiful spring Saturday afternoon. We waited about 20 minutes, but the line seemed to move fast. Even with a large crowd we easily found a seat to sit inside once we got our treats. I'm a coffee and ice cream fan so I opted for the Caffe Leopold. At $4.75 I received about five ounces of coffee and a very small scoop of my cream mint ice cream. This is a good option if you want a light treat which wasn't what I was going for. The same ice cream on a cone would have been much more for the money and would've actually cost less. My husband loved his rum bisque and portion size of it in a cup was just right.

  • Chad E.

    This guy goes to Hollywood, makes some movies (and undoubtedly, some money), brings his money home to Savannah and makes... ice cream? You betcha. This cool little soda shoppe should remind you of what you have probably never seen. Okay, so how does that work, exactly? Most of you probably have some idea of what the soda shoppe should look like, whether you've been to the World of Coca Cola or from watching It's a Wonderful Life too many times. So think of that, and there you go. Sure, it's not perfect - at least partially because it's not in some of the neat parts of Savannah. It's not bad - but you're on an old-style downtown strip, rather than in the leafy, parky area, or even down on the river. Once inside, however, is where the magic happens. All sorts of great ice cream flavors, including rum bisque (this may have been a monthly special, and most flavors are subject to change). So try them out - employees are happy to give you a taste. All of their ice creams are made right there, and they taste like it.

    When you walk in the doors, you are transported to someplace from the "good ole days." The employees have the white boat hats on and serving up desserts with smiles! Did you know that all the delicious ice cream is made in house?! Behind the white swinging door off the ice cream parlor is where the ingredient mixing takes place. Years and years of tradition and secret recipes makes this place stand the test of time. The ice cream was smooth, rich, and wonderful. I couldn't have been happier! If you're looking for happiness covered in hot fudge, definitely make Leopold's your next stop in Savannah.

    (5)
  • John S.

    The guys behind the counter have those pointy white paper hats. It's like I just walked into a Happy Days epi. This old fashioned ice cream parkour is the real deal and the ice cream is rich and satisfying. Big ups for the honey almond. She had a peanut butter flavor that shockingly tasted like peanut butter. An item on the bucket list crossed off.

    Best ice cream ive ever had. I dont get obsessed about desserts that often but i have been to this institution three times in the last two days. Chewy texture, sweet service, lovely interior, great variety. My ranking so far: 1. Root beer float 2. Hot cocoa ice cream 3. Banana 4. Honey almond (made from savannah bee honey and you can taste the honey) 5. Strawberry

  • Alice T.

    Perfect thing to do to top off brunch is to go get ice cream on a beautiful sunny day in Savannah! We stopped by Leopold's Ice Cream because of the hype and reviews. There was a short line when we got there but as we waited the line got longer. It moved pretty quickly and the staff was super friendly. You were able to sample different ice cream before you selected. I had the coffee with chocolate chip and the coconut flavor. They were not cheap on their ingredients. You can find tons of chocolate chips and tons of coconut shreds in the ice cream. Definitely stop by!

  • Gary V.

    Don't even come to Savannah if you aren't going eat here....the ice cream is amazing and I had the banana split....I should have eaten two of them as they were that good. You're going to wait but it's worth it...the price is good for a place that is this good.

    Items sampled: Butter Pecan / Caramel Swirl Figs and Sherry / Pistachio Chocolate / Coconut Honey, Almond, Cream / Rum Bisque Red Velvet Cake A Savannah staple since 1919 with all confections, frozen or baked, crafted on premises Leopold's Ice Cream and Soda Fountain was a perfectly timed stop on a hot August day and touting principles of all-natural ingredients, no dyes, and no preservatives in a setting filled with props and posters from owner Stratton Leopold's Hollywood career the place most certainly has a one-of-a-kind feel and plenty of Southern charm to spare with a surprisingly fast line considering all the tasting and chatter. Sampling widely and then selecting four double-scoops at $4.75 each before nabbing the last available table the most notable aspect of Leopold's Ice Cream is the texture - dense and creamy like many old fashioned recipes but not quite as smooth as some newer artisan shops - but speaking to the flavors, everything tasted was excellent, particularly the decidedly un-green natural Pistachio, rich coconut, boozy and buttery rum bisque, and particularly the honey-almond-cream which tasted like a bit-o-honey minus the grit and tooth damage. Without a doubt a scoop shop worth a stop, though I'd skip the cupcakes as they were unfortunately a bit dry despite excellent cream cheese frosting, I was just glad we made it in before the Real Housewives who were walking in as we exited.

  • Nick W.

    Retro style ice cream parlor with confusing menu pricing. Felt like I got out cheap at $14 for 2 single scoops and 2 child cones compared to tabs of others in line. Nice as a novelty distraction while in Savannah for the night enjoying this southern gem of a city. Can't rate the ice cream as one of the best but met my expectations for a taste of local flavor.

    (2)
  • Dan S.

    Honey Almond is incredible. They do a great job on all of their flavors but it's not the best in the world as some claim. There is often a long line outside the door. The anticipation of a cold ice cream on a hot night probably makes the ice cream taste a whole lot better. I noticed that their cash register logistics are terrible. They could have you in and out if they did some simple rearranging. Or, perhaps they intend on causing a long line to increase the allure of this establishment?

    It was fun to visit one of the tourist hot spots...I expected to be wowed based on all of the reviews but sadly I was not. They did the classic Butter Pecan no justice...Baskin Robbins is still king on that...my daughter had the Chocolate Raspberry swirl, now that was really good and redeemed them enough to warrant.the 3rd star

  • Michele A.

    I know why this place is the 5th best in the world - great selection of yummy ice creams! First trip I had Lemon Custard (which is from an original recipe). Very good, nice bright flavor but not too sweet. Second trip (yep, we made two trips while in Savannah!) I had peanut chocolate chip with chocolate chocolate chip which was superb. You can get samples of anything, we tried some of the seasonal flavors. Servers are all friendly. When we went on the weekend there was a line but they had a young kid come out and pour cups of cold water for anyone who wanted it! While there was a line Sunday afternoon there was no line Monday night (we went mid/late May).

  • Bill T.

    You want class with your ice cream? This is your place, man! Screw all those bitch-ass fro-yo places; ice cream is where it's at. When I was there they had over a dozen flavors, many of them interesting. Additionally, you are courteously served by well-dressed ice cream professionals who take their job seriously. The place is as clean as an operating room and very well run. If you want to go eat frozen yogurt, be my guest. If you want to eat like a real man (or real woman), then get to Leopold's and kick it old school.

  • Kimberly B.

    I went here with my boyfriend. I tried the honey almond and cream which was super delicious. He tried the chewy cookie and that was good too! I really liked the experience but the only thing keeping it from being 5/5 stars is that we tried this cupcake that had cherry filling and a huckleberry frosting.. It was okay. Other than that, ice cream was on point.

  • Lindsley A.

    Another place that was totally worth the line, starting to really believe see lines in restaurants it MUST mean it's GOOOOOOD. So this place definitely did just that alright. Sweet craving? Well look no more, even in the Old Savannah tour they will tell you to visit this famous ice cream place! I really wanted to try their huckleberry cheesecake, but they ran out. boo! next time! Ended up getting the Rasberry Sorbert since I just wanted something light and not too sweet, and it was refreshing and super yummy! My boyfriend got the chocoately chocolate chip and WOW, a true chocolate fan's dream. A cute place and the staff was super friendly :)

    This was worth the short wait! It was a gorgeous night and I was catching up with friends, so actually enjoyed the time to digest dinner and chat. When we got to the front of the line, I went with the seasonal Japanese cherry blossom, and my friends got chocolate chewies and rose petal. While mine was just fine - a sweet, delicate cherry - both of theirs were stellar! Evidently I need to go back to rectify my poor choice of ice cream. ;)

    Sweating like a drove of pigs, we hopped on the Dot and headed straight to Leopold's Ice Cream to cool down. The shuttle dropped us off right across the street which was heaven sent but we met by throngs of people trying to get inside. I am usually turned off by place that have lines and although lines usually mean the place is great, I am too much of a prima donna to stand in line for anything. However, we were hot and any other chance to try ice cream from this top 10 spot in the world wasn't going to be likely. The restaurant was an old school ice cream joint with the uniforms to match and the courteous service you should expect. Good service is all about having someone outside giving out water to hot patrons waiting in line. I eat ice cream but unless it is soft serve or paired with a dessert, I usually pass but this stuff I really liked. I was so impressed by the flavors! The chocolate tasted like real cocoa, the vanilla could have been mistaken for eating straight from a pod and the rum raisin tasted like actual rum (not vanilla and raisins). This place is about real ingredient and fresh product all, day everyday! I will deem it best I ever had (for now)!

    I happened to find this place with my wife while we were visiting the area. We had finished dinner at nearby restaurant and were walking around when we saw the large neon lights. There was no wait and from what I have read is a rare occurrence. We both wanted a sweet treat; my wife had the frozen hot chocolate ( it had small marshmallows mixed in with it) and I had an expresso flavored treat. We were both impressed with the flavors and most of all reading the history behind the business. We walked around looking at all the photos on the walls and overall enjoyed the impromptu visit. The staff was excellent and extremely helpful. A great place to take little ones and they can see what an ol' time ice cream parlor and soda jerk joint look like.

  • Alex C.

    Cool down on a hot savannah day with this delicious ice cream. Remember that catchy tutti frutti song? Yea it was to honor the richly delicious icecream at this savannah historic site. The place does not disappoint either. The servers are nicecream (pun intended) and offer you samples of every kind of unique ice-cream. The decor is total 50's. I felt like I was at an icecream shop with marty mcfly. Honestly I was wishing biff would walk in and start spouting off bad jokes. "Make like a tree and split". But back to the icecream... Try a few. Try the tutti frutti and you cant go wrong with any flavor in the house. Hit it up.

  • Stormy R.

    On an unseasonably warm 75 degree day in January we stopped in as part of our "Friday Funday" I love the old fashion decor and feel of the place. We just got a scoop of butter pecan, it was yummy! The line halfway down the block in the middle of the summer is a bit of a deterrent to stopping back in but now that the tourist crowds have died down, we'll be back soon. Definitely the best ice cream shop in Savannah!

  • Rmy M.

    I can't say enough good things about Leopold's!! It is hands down the best ice cream I have had!! DH and I were in Savannah in Feb and we still reminisce about Leopold's ice cream. We stopped by Leopold's twice and tried quite a few flavors. Honey Almond - Highly recommend!! Made with Savannah Bee Company's Honey. Tutti Frutti - Highly recommend!! Rum Bisque Pistachio Caramel Swirl Chocolate The place is quite big but there is always a line. The first day we were in line, a waitress was handing out cups of water for us. Also the staff was very patient in handling the indecisive crowd. One special star just for the outstanding service! Since the owner is also a Hollywood movie producer, the parlor has a wall of movie star photos and props from Mission Impossible 3. Do not miss out on this Savannah classic!

  • Eric G.

    Very good Ice cream. I'm not saying it's AMAZING or anything, but it is good and worth it. Sample multiple flavors before choosing. I chose two flavors Chocolate Chocolate chip and the Rum flavor. It was a hard choice to pick which I wanted before the few different I tried, because they were all very good. The prices weren't bad at all either compared to other ice cream shops. I would also wait til a week day when there isn't a line out the door to wait in. Visited May 2014

    We were in Savannah for 2 nights recently and went here....twice. 4 words for you: Chocolate chewies and cream Both times we went the line was out the door but it moved very quickly, there were even plenty of places to sit when you were finished paying. The ice cream we had was delicious, and the best part about it was not getting a stomach ache an hour later like is common with eating at chain ice cream places...(maybe that's just me?) Or, the ingredients are much fresher at Leopold's..

    Prior to coming to savannah, I researched must see/do spots and Leopold's ice cream was always high up on everyone's list. Shortly after arriving here, we grabbed lunch and then headed over to Leopold's for dessert. Oh how we were not disappointed! We had their honey almond flavor the first day and chocolate peanut butter the next, and both were delicious! The prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the product and the establishment being a tourist attraction. We never waited in a line and were always quickly served. A great place for ice cream and would highly recommend stopping in for a scoop or two!

    Strawberry shake was nothing special, especially given the price. Seemingly no pieces of fruit present. I've had better at Denny's. I'd advise trying something else on the menu.

    I've had some pretty good ice cream in my day (Bi Rite in San Francisco and CapoGiro in Philly), so this place had some high expectations to conquer. The ice cream was super creamy and delicious. You can tell they did not hold back on the heavy cream. The Honey Almond was good and so was the Butter Pecan. Honestly, I think everything would've been good there. Lines are long, and it's painful under the sun. However, it's worth the wait even just to taste it just once.

  • Cindy T.

    It's good y'all! Like REALLY FREAKING GOOD! They even have a Guinness ice cream that tastes just like a GUINNESS. I ended up with a scope of thin mint & cream and it was amazing. Don't look at the calorie content on that. Shop is very charming with movie memorabilia scattered throughout and tons of workers behind the ice cream stand wearing shop hats. They had plenty of seating inside and out. Great area to just sit and people watch. Prices are comparable to any other ice cream parlor. Considering how rich the ice cream is, I personally couldn't eat more than one scoop although I wanted too. Only pain was trying to find parking on St. Patty's weekend that wasn't $20, but definitely worth the trip.

    Awesome staff! Great ice cream parlor feel. The only reason my rating is so low is because I am lactose intolerant and there were very few options for me.

    On a hot day in May what better way to cool off than licking away at an ice cream from Leopold's. I had the pistachio ice cream and it was delicious. My wife had the Rum Bisque and she said it was amazing.

    This place is an absolute gem for two reasons: 1. Amazing ice cream (I like the rum bisque) 2. Working juke box Stop by while you're walking through the beautiful squares of Savannah on a hot, muggy South Georgia day (or any day for that matter) and I promise you will not be disappointed. Very classically lovely and convenient to many attractions in downtown Savannah.

    It almost seems silly to write a review for a place that already has so many! If you have one day in Savannah this place should be on your list. I usually get the coffee chocolate chip ice cream on a waffle cone. Their sorbet is excellent too! They have quite a few flavors and there's a few seasonal ones too such as lavender. But they will let you sample before you choose one. The ice cream is made in house as far as I know. They sell food too. This is a family owned restaurant that's been in Savannah for 3 generations. It has kind of a 50's theme to it. The owner used to be a movie producer and there's some interesting props decorating the interior. Don't worry if there's a long line, it moves really fast and it's worth the wait.

    Went to Leopolds because more then one person told us it was the best ice cream ever. It was very good but didn't see anything that made it as outstanding as people talked about. The line to get in wrapped around the building and took about 20 minutes to order. I got the Peanut Butter Chippy which was good but I think fudge swirls instead of chocolate chips would have made it a lot better. Loved seeing the autographed photos of the celebrities that have been there over the years. The old time ice cream parlor was a nice feel to take you back to another time.

    What a joke. Staff new big group coming. Totally unprepared. Large group of elderly that could barely stand. I understand the concept of going through the line but they had already pre ordered their food. They should have been able to pay later or at the table. Staff not too bright. Ice cream did not meet expectation

    Leopolds is soooo good! I got the single scoop of cinnamon ice cream and it was amazing! Great atmosphere and staff as well! And it's one of the best ice cream places in the world!

    I had the chocolate chewy flavor and the honey almond. At first, I was a little disappointed in the chocolate chewy. It wasn't bad. In fact, it was quite good. But I was expecting a fireworks show in my mouth based on previous reviews, so the experience fell a little flat. It was only when my spoon reached the flavor stratum beneath that I knew the true measure of this place. That honey almond was one of, if not, the best ice cream experiences I've ever had. I regret waiting until the night before I left Savannah to come here, and I regret even more getting ice cream at a Cold Stone earlier during my trip instead of Leopold's. If I should ever find myself in Savannah again, I will definitely be stopping by. P.S. I also sampled the tutti frutti, and while I enjoyed it, I don't think I could do a full scoop of the stuff. P.P.S. I accidentally posted this same review on my old account but I deleted it and reposted on this account. Hopefully that doesn't cause any problems.

    I forget the exact name but ooey chocolate is AMAZEBALLS!!! We went back the next day to get it again and they were out of it so we tried the savannah bee co honey and almond and it was just as amazing!! Both flavors were above average!!! We also shared the club sandwich and it was just a as good!! Wonderful service!!

    GREAT customer service. The honey almond & cream ice cream (made with savannah bee company's honey) is incredible. I feel like I'm cheating on Mitchell's from home, but I can't deny how good Leopold's is.

    I brought my 8 year old back to Savannah where he was born and had to bring him to get the best ice cream around! When we rounded the corner on Broughton the line was out of the door, with about 20 people ahead of us. It moved fairly fast and we were ordering, I had a single scoop of chocolate chewies and cream in a waffle cone and he had peppermint in a waffle cone, our total was right under $10. The chocolate chewies and cream was really good, the ice cream was creamy and the cookies in it were chewy yet crisp. My son gobbled up his peppermint without me even getting a lick! The reason for the slower service this night was the girl at the register, she seemed overwhelmed and a little lost, but we weren't in a hurry and it didn't bother us at all.

  • Kate F.

    I don't give out 5 stars easily, but Leopold's is really freakin' delicious. Case in point: a few weeks ago, we were driving from the Charleston/Beaufort area back to Atlanta and specifically went out of our way to drive into the city of Savannah, fighting rush hour traffic on the way out of the city, to stop at Leopold's. I am a mint chip ice cream fiend. The only thing better is peppermint ice cream, and Leopold's has the best I've had in recent memory. Super creamy with the right amount of sweetness.

    The tour guide on our trolley tour recommended Leopold's. Our group walked over after dinner on Bay St. I had the chocolate raspberry swirl and it was worth the wait. It was dark, creamy and delicious. Everyone said it was great ice cream. The line moves quickly don't be discouraged.

  • Ella A.

    Fun and yum! What ever sweets you're in to, they're pretty much here. I had a couple scoops of ice cream and my husband had a chocolate cherry malt. Both were so enjoyable. This is one treat stop to definitely check out.

    There was a line out of the door when my girl and I arrived at Leopold's Ice Cream Shop about 20 people deep. That speaks volumes about well several things; the history of this establishment, the quality of the product to have such a following, and from an out-of-towner's perspective a simple question, "This has gotta be some damn good ice cream to wait in a line like this!" As the anticipation built for the two of us, an employee came to offer us some water as well as a menu to look at. I was surprised to read more than just ice cream flavors on the menu as they also offer sandwiches and a few other lunch options. They also offer seasonal flavors of ice cream monthly including Lavender, Orange Blossom, and Egg Nog to name a few. Once we got to the door I noticed the shop is split into two areas. One where you sample and order your ice cream or food and then a doorway to lead you into an area to sit down and enjoy your food. On the walls throughout are movie posters and other memorabilia from famous movies like Mission Impossible III, The Sum of All Fears, Tango and Cash. I even saw "The Rabbit's Foot" inside a glass case which was pretty awesome. The employees at Leopold's definitely bring that old school feel, each with their own personalized paper hat reminiscent of the paper hats you find at Krispy Kreme. Some had drawn designs on theirs, others had cut them up into an abstract look. They offer you a sample of any of their vast array of flavors. I tried the Guinness which did indeed have a hint of Guinness flavor which was odd but cool. On this day I decided on a scoop of the Rum Bisque and Pistachio Ice Cream. The Rum Bisque flavor is much like Rum Raisin well without the raisins and also had almonds in it. The Pistachio Ice cream was light green in color but was easily the best scoop of Pistachio flavored ice cream I ever had with a capital "P." I've never had so many pistachios in one scoop of ice cream in my life and it's just the way I like it. Definitely worth the few bucks I paid as the flavors are not overly sweet or cloying and have a well pronounced flavor. This place will easily make it to the centennial celebration. Easily!

    I really didn't think ice cream could be so good! We ordered the chocolate chewy I think it's called and it was so addicting! I was supposed to share with my friend but my arm was moving fast shoveling that ice cream into my mouth.

  • Olivia D.

    I can't say much that hasn't already been said. Leopold's is clearly popular and loved and their flavors with Savannah flair show that they know what will interest the tourists. Thin mints and cream??? Of course!! The ice cream and raspberry sorbet were prittydammgood. I also liked the oldtymey feel, although the Hollywood props felt a little mishmashed with the soda shoppe decor.

    Like an Old Fashion Ice Cream Parlor! Charming! My wife was glad I brought her here! After tasting all the flavors that sounded good and all we tasted were Very good we decided! I'm not good with menus so I have no idea what they can do...This Ice Cream IS!!! Better than a lot of Gelaterias! !! !!! Espresso with Pistachio Ice Cream 5 yelp stars Double Chocolate chip and Banana Ice Cream In a Waffle Cone 5 yelp stars The Service is Perfect! 100% SCAD Students are no rarity here... This is a Loookalota!!! You know what I mean!!!

    This place is a must-go when in Savannah, no excuse to miss it! There was a line out the door, but that should be expected. It is worth the wait. They had an employee coming out the door every few minutes to hand out menus, answer questions, and even provide cups of water to help beat the heat. The employees handling the orders were efficient, prompt, curtious, and smiling. They really seem to follow health code laws too, as everyone had on hair nets and wore gloves. The ice cream was fantastic. I had the chocolate chip mint and loved every bite. Most chocolate chip mint ice creams don't seem to have enough chips in it that I find myself saving a few on the side for the last bite. Totally not necessary with Leopold's, there were plenty of chips in every bite! My husband ordered the coconut flavor and said he had never had better. He said it was because there were actual chunks of coconut in it, something he had never found before. This is definitely a place we'll hit up any time we come to town, highly recommended!

    Found this place by overhearing a guide tell his customers "if you like ice cream, go to Leopolds, it's the best ice cream in the world". Maybe not the best in the world, but unbelievably good. Bottom line Fantastic ice cream. Unique flavors. Great service.

    (5)
  • Weiyu Z.

    Really awesome ice cream. Creamy, the texture is like gelato. And it has my favorite flavor rum raisin! It is real rum raisin, not raisin rum, meaning there is strong flavor of rum. Though there is a long line, it's worth to wait. Enjoy the movie poster while I am waiting. I will definitely try the Greek yogurt next time.

  • Lisa H.

    This place did not disappoint. And we came not only for the ice cream, but for the sandwiches and soup. YUM! The lemon cream ice cream... let's just say heaven. I've never had anything like it anywhere. And the staff and service are fantastic. The server accidentally dropped my husband's sandwich on the table, it just slid of the plate. My husband would have eaten it, but before he could say anything, the server apologized, whisked it off to be replaced promptly, then comped my husband's ice cream later for having to wait 5 minutes. WOW! That was nice and unexpected!! Savannah overwhelms me with their restaurant service. Other tourist spots could take a lesson from Savannah.

    So I went to Savannah over President's Day Weekend this year, and while doing the tourist thing had marked Leopold's as a place I wanted to try. More than one guidebook said it was an institution. Boy, were they right! We arrived around 4 pm on Saturday at Leopold's, and the line was just barely out the door (apparently this was a slow time). Once inside, a menu was snagged to peruse while we waited, and ice cream concoctions were ogled as they paraded past us already being consumed en route to tables. We made it to the ice cream counter and ordered a "Fruit Sundae" from the soda jerk behind the counter - it needs pointing out that there were about 5 jerks working the ice cream counter at this point and each one bore a complete, authentic white outfit (apron too) and paper hat with their names scrawled on them in magic marker. It all lends a nice touch to the retro feel of the ice cream parlor. Anyway, back to the sundae. The fruit sundae came with a choice of strawberries, peaches or huckleberries. Throwing caution to the winds I opted for not just strawberries but ALSO huckleberries (daring, I know) with a scoop of chocolate raspberry ice cream and vanilla ice cream. Our soda jerk made the whole thing right in front of us in minutes presenting us with a sundae close to a foot tall when the extra inches of whipped cream on top are factored into account. The first bite was utter ecstasy. So many fruit flavors (raspberry, strawberry and huckleberry) intermingling with chocolate and vanilla. It was just perfect. I've included a picture before the whole thing was decimated in a matter of minutes by my party. And another noteworthy thing about the sundae is that not only did they put the strawberry, huckleberry mixture on TOP, but also at the very bottom of the glass! How smart is that? Genius. One last thing - promise. All the ice cream is made in-house everyday and sports some wicked combos. I wish I'd been in Savannah a few more days to have a chance to try the chocolate one with marshmallows, caramel swirls, and pretzel bites - it looked epic! This is definitely worth a stop if you're in town. Indulge - you know you want to!

    The only negative about this place is the long lines. On any given day, the line is wrapped around the corner and I usually pass it by because I don't want to stand in that line forever. However, after attending an event I was given a coupon for a free scoop and found myself on Broughton Street early in the day where there was no line. So, I decided to redeem my coupon and I'm so glad that I did. I got the honey almond and cream ice cream on a cake cone, made with honey from the Savannah Bee Company. Usually I like my ice cream with a lot of junk in it like nuts and chocolate and sprinkles, etc. But this flavor was so simple, yet so sweet and so good. I'm glad I decided to tone it down a bit. Walking into the establishment is like going back in time to an old soda shop. This place is famous for its commitment to tradition. The staff was very friendly and eager to explain the selection. They seemed to really enjoy their jobs. All of the locals love this place plus it is a must-stop for tourists.

  • Tessa M.

    This place was very tasty. Quality ice creams for sure. The only thing i didn't like was that you can't split our scoops up. You have to get a double scoop to try different flavors. Also there could have been a coconut milk ice cream for those wanting creaminess of ice cream without the dairy. Nevertheless I ate it all up and every flavor was wonderful

    We heard about Leopold's from Savannah Dan and we had to give it a try. Our mistake was that we decided to grab a light bite from their lunch menu before indulging in the ice cream. I say it was a mistake because the ordering system in this case is really convoluted. Everyone is in the same line and you have to order your ice cream first at the counter and then order your lunch at the register. This totally defeated the purpose of eating some lunch BEFORE dessert because they served the ice cream right away and we had to wait quite a while for the sandwiches. So your options are to let the ice cream sit there melting until you finally get and eat your meal; stand in the long line to order lunch, wait for it to finally come, eat the lunch and then get back in the long line again to order your ice cream; or eat your ice cream first until your lunch comes then switch over to the lunch and then switch back to whatever is left of your ice cream. I opted for the last option - Marty who had ordered a milkshake opted for the first. It doesn't seem like it should be such a difficult concept, preparing and serving the meal before dessert, other places do it all the time. They would be better served to just stick to ice cream because the sandwiches were not worth the trouble. The ice cream was creamy and rich and flavorful. I had a hot fudge sundae with Coffee Chocolate Chip and Butter Pecan. The hot fudge was thick and chewy which I love. The whipped cream held up well. Given the old fashioned vibe I expected Marty's Malt to be served in a stainless steel cup but it just came out in a regular glass with the excess in a small plastic cup. At least they did serve him the extra. Was it the best ice cream Ive ever had? No. But it was good ice cream.

    Hands down Leopold's had some of the best ice cream in Savannah. There is a bit of a wait and it is a little more expensive than baskin robbins. However, the plethora of signed film memorabilia and late 1950's vibes are outstanding. Leopold's does a great job of tranporting patrons to a different space and time, the staff is great and always very friendly. The option to sit outside and have your ice cream is a great feather in the establishments cap.

    It's like you are stepping into a 50s soda shop. The staff is friendly, the ice cream is amazing and they have old fashion soda. Try the chocolate soda with peppermint ice cream around the holiday. It is a perfect and festive treat. Just be prepared to wait in line. This place a has a reputation and it's a good one. I love seeing a small business succeed.

    When we saw this place the line was out the door but we decided to try it out anyway because of the yelp reviews. The ice cream was definitely worth the wait, I got banana ice cream and it was delicious, their chocolate ice cream is also to die for. Will definitely be coming back for some more!

    It was okay. Had the weather been worse and I had not been with a tour group, I probably would have found a reason not to stand in line for 30 minutes. The ice cream is okay, and the service, while friendly didn't leave a huge impression. Look out Rite-Aide, here I come :)

    During our recent visit to Savannah, we happened to pass by Leopold's and I'm so glad that we did! The line was out the door and down the sidewalk so when I saw that, I figured we should give this place a try. The ice cream was the best that I've ever had! So creamy and delicious. This is definitely a must try if you're in Savannah!

    Leopold's was our last stop before leaving Savannah and we went out with a bang. Or maybe that was just the button bursting from my waistline after two days of eating and eating. Either way, this was really good stuff. I was torn between their numerous ice cream selections, but finally decided on a coffee chocolate chip waffle cone, a wonderful combination of my two favorite things. Okay, I did show a little restraint by only ordering one scoop, which was plenty delicious. Aside from the tasty ice cream, Leopold's boasts a ton of movie posters, celebrity photos and plenty of seating for everyone to chill and relax.

    Our group got the butter pecan, coffee w/ chocolate chip, and the chocolate. All of the ice creams were creamy with no iciness. Service was excellent. I only gave it three stars though because the ice cream really just wasn't that special.

  • Dor B.

    Ice cream delicious, good sandwich, not so great service. We stood in a 10 minute line that went out the door as we looked over the menu. When we arrived at the counter a young lady who did not give a friendly greeting or smile gave us 3 samples we had requested and they were all delicious, rich and creamy! (lemon custard, rum raisin, rose) After our samples we stood quietly in front of the cashier waiting to order and pay for about 5 minutes as we watched the staff behind the counter running around trying to find the people that matched the samples/ice cream orders. Although we understand the business of the restaurant we did not enjoy seeing and hearing the staff speak rudely to each other. We ordered a banana split with the three traditional flavors (vanilla, strawberry and chocolate) and a BLT sandwich. Our banana split came to us with only vanilla ice cream. The staff member (young lady) we spoke to in regards to this issue seemed to be irritated with us, although she did bring us the other flavors within minutes. The sandwich was large and very tasty. The bread was rich and fresh and the bacon and turkey were plentiful. There was a very long line for the restroom because a staff member was changing her clothes in there for over 10 minutes. The ambiance is fun and lively, the decor 70's/80's themed movies. It is too bad this classic establishment with great quality items does not have staff that is more friendly and organized.

    You know, there are few things as perfect in life as really well done ice cream. Leopold's knows this and serves it up in spades. This seems to be a pretty famous joint but I just happened to stumble upon it. What a lucky lady I am! I tasted a few flavors before settling on a double scoop of rum bisque and coffee chocolate chip. It was sinfully delicious. I strongly recommend the rum bisque. It was one of the better flavors I've ever had. With chunks of almonds practically melting in your mouth, the flavor had layers that one can't ever expect. I loved it. And it went really well with the coffee chocolate chip. The two ladies serving me did so with smiles. It was about $7 for the two scoops. Not cheap but no expensive either. This is definitely the place to get your ice cream fix in Savannah, maybe even in all of GA!

  • Paul L.

    When your reputation precedes you, you have to deliver. When you are Leopold's, this is as simple as: - the scoopers all wear paper hats (and given the pervasive SCAD presence in town, it looked like every single scooper had hand-decorated their own hat gorgeously) - the flavors are a mix of classic and innovative (Tutti Frutti, anyone?) - the ice cream is DELICIOUS. Smooth, creamy, great texture, full of flavor My wife and I split (what else?) a banana split, and it was perfect. Go here and enjoy yourself. * Be prepared for a wait - we were in line about 10 minutes and had time to check out the Hollywood memorabilia on all the walls

  • Genea S.

    GET IN LINE. GO NOW! We went there TWICE while we were visiting M-F a week in July. A second scoop is only a dollar but you really only need one scoop of the honey almond to rock your world. The line really does move fast and we talked to a lot of nice people while waiting. All the staff was pleasant. I love ice cream. I eat it everywhere. And this is the best I have had.

    (5)
  • Jenny H.

    Honey almond was a delicious and unique flavor! I paired it with the pistachio which was really good. I also got their cappuccino chip (or coffee chip?) which was really good, I loved the shapes of the crunchy chocolate nibs. The butter pecan with GA roasted pecans was really good too. Awesome ice cream!!!! The line goes quickly, don't worry :)

  • Gino M.

    Based on the average review rating vs the number of reviews I'm going to assume that my experience was an aberration. Looking for a mid afternoon desert I find Leopold's through Yelp and walk over with my wife. First, we're shocked by the line OUT THE DOOR and INTO THE STREET. We debate whether we should wait - but the line looks like it's moving pretty well so we decide to stick it out. Nice tough - Leopold's had a server walking the line and handing out water to anyone who wanted. We finally get inside - my wife orders a scoop of something and I order a chocolate malt. She gets her ice cream and finds us a seat, I pay and wait for my malt. This is our routine - we're very practiced in it - I always order a milkshake type thing and it takes longer to make - I get that. But in this case, on this day, with this completely incompetent server who wouldn't know a blender from a door knob - it took 15 minutes to get my malt. I give credit that it was the BEST damn malt I've ever had only to the fact that someone finally replaced my server and told her to go wash dishes after they found her trying to figure out how the malt dispenser worked.

    I don't feel like I have anything new to add except another five-star review. Leopold's was perfect after our hot-as-hell (and super fun-nerdy) historical walking tour of Savannah. The vibe is adorable old-school ice cream parlor, but the flavors are fresh and satisfying. The line is long and daunting but you should wait it out. It's worth it.

  • Ken G.

    This was a very good ice cream spot - I was here on two occasions and enjoyed the following: Honey Almond and Cream - The honey flavor really did come through and added a nice and unique flavor to the ice cream...it tasted very wholesome and natural with the perfect amount of sweetness. Chocolate Chocolate Chip - A chocolatey treat of good chocolate ice cream and tasty chocolate chips. Savannah Dan's Milkshake - named after the famous tour guide (Savannah Dan), this is a chocoholic's dream - a milkshake of chocolate ice cream, chocolate milk and chocolate syrup. Very rich and very chocolatey. One day I tried it with Peanut Butter ice cream and it was amazing. This place is definitely worth a visit when you're in Savannah.

    The ice cream is awesome and the posters and history are great. But the reason I am posting is the service. My son has a peanut allergy and he really really wanted ice cream (usually not possible in ice cream parlors). We asked the counter clerk and he kindly went to the back room to wash off the spoon and even opened a fresh tub of ice cream so my son could have some. He was friendly and gracious and made my boy very happy. We will go again.

    Leopold's has very good, super creamy, ice cream! Unless you are lactose intolerant you will love this place. It has a great retro look to it and makes you feel, for the briefest of moments, that maybe you are back in simpler times. My fav flavor is the peppermint and the mint chocolate chip. Usually has a pretty stout line, but it moves pretty swift, besides relax, you're in Savannah and theres ice cream in your future - slow down.

    We took a tour this morning on The Old Savannah Tours Trolley and our driver said we HAD to stop at Leopold's for ice cream. I'm glad we did!! The line was out the door but it moved quickly and staff came out with cups and water while we waited. The atmosphere inside was just like an old time ice cream shop. The servers were very friendly and you can try different flavors. I'd read other Yelp reviews stating that the Rum Bisque was the way to go. I tried it and I'm glad I did! It was like nothing else I've ever had! I highly recommend Leopold's to anyone visiting Savannah! I'm sad we aren't here longer to try new flavors :)

    We've been going here for years. The line moves quickly. The staff is friendly and the ice cream is so freakin awesome. Great flavors, no skimping on ingredients. My favorite for years is the chocolate raspberry, it's out of this world.

    Banana scoop and coconut scoop with chocolate sprinkles was phenomenal. Tasted fruit and actual coconut in the ice cream. Really well balanced with sweetness- didn't overwhelm or take away from ice cream flavor. Friendly service. You need to stop in.

    OMG-I want to go back! I've had plenty of ice cream cones, but this is by far the most memorable ever. I got coffee chocolate chip and caramel swirl. Sounds simple, but so amazing. There are so many places to visit in Savannah for treats, but make this one your top spot. *The line is worth the wait. :)

  • Cory H.

    As we were on the Tour Bus driving by, the guide mentioned how amazing the ice cream was. My wife and I rolled our eyes at each other, but since it was 96 degrees, ice cream sounded pretty good. Let me just say this; I'm sorry Mr. Tour Guide! The Ice Cream was amazing! Everyone else can describe the flavors better then I, but I will just say.... Wow!

  • Alyssa C.

    Go for the ice cream!! Creamy and delicious pistachio ice cream with big chunks of pistachios, best pistachio ice cream I have ever had. I asked to try a sample of their butter pecan mmmm but couldn't commit because I always get pistachio. I was afraid to ask for another sampling though because when my bf first asked to try some chocolate flavor the girl asked if that was his second sample like he was about to get cut off! We also ordered a tuna sandwich but it was just meh and they must love their mustard here because I think it was the dressing for the pasta salad. So I'm giving 5 stars on the ice cream alone :) There was a short line on Sunday around noon with people of all ages popping in and out.

  • Laurel M.

    Oh Lord. My mom and I popped in on a Tuesday during vacation around 1pm. No line. I got chocolate chocolate chip and peanut butter chippy on a waffle cone. She got coconut. This ice cream is thick, rich, sweet, but not cloyingly so. It's nice and cold and does not melt quickly. The flavors are outstanding. They taste just how they should without being overpowering. We went back tonight and took my dad. My mom got the pistachio (which was amazing and I don't eat pistachio ice cream), and I tried the honey almond cream which was so subtle and tasty....I could probably eat any flavor they make. GO TO LEOPOLD'S. They don't make ice cream like this anymore!

  • Darth S.

    So I cannot give this place nothing less than 5, even though it deserves 10 of them. I visited this place while vacationing in Savannah. I must add that before my trip, I knew nothing about the town. I did not read reviews or tips, I just knew that it was a beautiful town with a lot of "plazas". Well surprise, surprise, this beautiful town holds this amazing Ice Cream place since 1919. It is owned by Stratton and Mary Leopold. Stratton is a very successful film producer (you should check him out), and Mary is the sweetest lady you could ever meet. I was in town for 5 days and we visited 4 of them (missing day we were on a diet ;). Stop for amazing ice cream, and get a malt. ;)

    Decent ice cream, but the consistently was not exactly what I was hoping. It was a little gritty. I do appreciate the old fashion decor and everyone was very nice. Perhaps it was a bit too hyped up for me, but that shouldn't stop you from stopping in.

  • rebecca l.

    Stopped in here during a weekend getaway with my husband to Savannah. The ice cream is good (I had the peppermint, hubby had the chocolate chocolate chip and peanutbutter chip), but we think it is the history of Leopold's that is truly exceptional and what makes it a must-do for anyone visiting Savannah.

    (3)
  • Frank M.

    Actually quite good for a city! Ice cream was tasty and creamy as it should be. I did not notice much difference in the single vs double scoop - other than the price. Wife loved the Coffee Chocolate Chip - one of the best she has had (usually loves the Haagen Dazs equivalent.) Best ice cream overall is _______. Your choice!! Service was pretty good and the atmosphere is like going back in time to the 40/50/60 era. Well worth the visit.

    There are times when the splurge isn't worth it and times when the splurge makes you want to run back for more. Leopold's serves up the latter. Candra, our cabbie, immediately identified us as a group of eaters as she drove us from the airport to our hotel. A fellow eater herself, she started to give us just what we wanted: the local scoop on where to eat and what to avoid. Paula Deen's isn't worth it, she says, but you have to go to Leopold's. They have the best ice cream. We gals looked at each other, exchanged "oh yeah" looks, and I promptly bookmarked Leopold's. Well, if you have been in Savannah during the summer months, then you know what "hotter than 40 hells" feels like. Yessiree, it was one of those days in a long string of those days. As we walked, glistening as girls in the South do, we glanced up to see what must have been a mirage. Leopold's. Could it be? Let's cross the street to see. In a stoke of luck, it was no mirage. Leopold's sat there, in the middle of a block of shops, with its old time soda shop decor and a counter manned by some friendly looking folks. Butter Pecan, T whispered. Chocolate Chewies and Cream, drooled my little food critic in training. Rum Bisque, I purred. I'm still too shocked by the colorful concoction that T's little gal pointed out, eyes aglow. We didn't even wait to pay before we spooned cool, creamy heaven into our mouths. Happy? Bilssfully so. We wandered back into the 40 hells worth of heat grinning like a litter of Cheshire kittens. If you ever find yourself wandering past Leopold's and you don't stop in, don't tell me so. I simply could not bear it.

  • Paul S.

    Leopold's delivered a solid old school ice cream experience. We tried the banana and the mocha chocolate chip flavors, and we had them add their freshly roasted georgia pecans. The pecans were fresh and crispy and added a nice flavor. The ice cream flavors were on point. The staff was very efficient and nice. A movie had just let out next door and we watched them absolutely crush the line in minutes, really impressive when you consider half the customers are bugging them for multiple tastes of ice cream before they decide.

    (5)
  • Alex S.

    Fantastic ice cream, some of the best I've ever had; I had chocolate chocolate chip. Unbelievable creamy, almost like gelato, with bold chocolate flavor. Service was fairly fast and the small serving size was about average (tennis ball). Seriously great ice cream.

    Very cute old fashioned ice cream parlor. The ice cream is wow! Also, they serve sandwiches, snacks, etc.

  • Leanna P.

    If you like ice cream and fun flavors then this is the place to go! There's a wait but it's so worth it. Once you're talking to the staff behind the counter they're so helpful and patient on helping you choose the right flavor. My favorite thing about them is that they haven't changed the recipe. It's still the same as it was when the Leopold brothers created it. I recommend trying the fun seasonal flavors. My favorite during the warm weather months is Lavender, but my most recent favorite is the Sugar Plum Fairy. Soooo good! Read more on my blog! goo.gl/zBg4IP

  • Jordan L.

    My oh my was this delicious. I'm used to eating Brusters ice cream and this place just blew it out of the water. We waited a few minutes, but so well worth it. We had a chocolate chewy milkshake, which was so perfect and also had Honey almond ice cream in a waffle cone. I highly recommend both of these to anyone. When I have a sweet tooth, these people will have my dollar.

    (5)
  • Bob M.

    Hands down the best ice cream I've ever had. It's as simple as that. If you're within a few hours of Savannah, do yourself a favor and stop by, wait in line, get some ice cream, walk over to the the nearest square, sit down on a bench and watch the world go by as you eat. You'll be grateful that life gives you moments like this :)

    (5)
  • Grant M.

    Some of the best Ice Cream i've had the pleasure of eating. I got two flavors -- The rum bisque and the chocolate chewies and cream. Both were phenomenal! Even though they're was a line out the door, we got in and out quickly. If I'm ever in the Savannah Area again I will be returning.

    (5)
  • Patty W.

    Mmm. I felt like a little girl again when I looked all of the ice cream they had to offer. Vacation mode took over and I wanted something to eat after we had lunch. I heard about this parlor on the Food Network as well. So, lots of choices and I settled for a honey almond cream and caramel swirl (scoop of each) stacked on top of one another. The chocolate raspberry I sampled from Chris's cup was good, but not as perfect as mine. Check out the neat decor too. One of the owners is a movie director, so that's why you see the movie posters everywhere.

  • J M.

    I didn't know this place is popular. I just wanted to eat some ice cream and the nearest shop around me was here. I had to wait quite a while because the line was huge. I ordered lemon custard and almond honey? It was very good. Totally worth to wait 5 mins! If I ever go back to Savannah, I will find this place first :)

    (5)
  • Seth P.

    The line out the door is a pretty clear testament to how good this ice cream is. The selection is not only varied but unique. I had the Thin Mint and it tasted just like the frozen Girl Scout Thin Mints I horde away in my freezer. It was creamy while not being overly sweet. It was worth the wait.

    (5)
  • Andy G.

    Ice cream is really good! Everyone was very impressed and loved their flavors(from coconut to pistachio to peppermint).

    (5)
  • Jonna C.

    There was a line out the door but it moved fairly quickly and they brought out cups of water. I thought service was great; and the rum bisque ice cream I had was awesome! But my friend had a lemon flavor of ice cream and she was really disappointed -- said it tasted like it was sugar free, but wasn't listed as such. So maybe just stick with rum bisque and stay away from anything lemon.

    (4)
  • Tina C.

    Delicious ! But not cheap! Line moves quick, free samples to help you make a decision. Lots of creamy choices with fast friendly soda jerks! Save room for dessert and go here!

  • Z J.

    I wish every day was like Thursday. Warm and sunny, sitting outside Leopold's with 2 cones and a fountain soda. There was a line but the whole staff greeted us and moved swiftly. It wasn't too pricy. I got the peanut butter with chocolate chips. YUM! I could have sat on the sidewalk another hour.

    (4)
  • Rebecca B.

    If you're a tourist, go here. If you're a local and have never been- get in your car right now, and go! I find an excuse to go to Leopold's about once a week! I may need to get help, but I do try to mix it up. From a fresh squeeze lemonade float (lemonade with sparking water and a scoop of lemon custard ice cream- at least that's the flavor I prefer) to Cocoa Leopold in the winter (hot chocolate with a scoop of whatever your heart desires), you can't go wrong!

    (5)
  • Ron S.

    Don't let the long line scare you. From standing outside to our table within ten minutes. Almond Honey was great!

  • Sharon M.

    This place is awesome! I ordered a hot fudge sundae, and received the most massive, great tasting sundae I have ever eaten. This place has a great history, and I now know why! Get there early or you may wait in a line that goes down the entire block!

  • Janene H.

    I'm going to go against the grain here and say that I was not that impressed with Leopold's. It's ice cream. They have some different flavors but I thought they could have been more, well, flavorful! I tried the orange blossom and honey almond, neither of which was knock my socks off good. On another day we had the "Savannah Dan" chocolate shake. It was... well, a chocolate shake! I just don't get it. Maybe you feel like if the line is out the door (which it was on both occasions) you must convince yourself it's awesome. It's good, don't get me wrong, but not five star worthy in my opinion. The employees are young and rushing to move the people through the line so don't speak to you much. I guess that's just as well because they do move the line along fairly well. It is an historic Savannah institution (isn't everything in Savannah historic?!?), which is cool.

  • Hungry B.

    Leopold's is a gem. I found this place on a previous trip but didn't get a chance to stop. It was first on my list this time. I thought I'd be eating dinner in reverse by starting with ice cream and going on to someplace else. The sandwich menu made it a no-brainer that I was not going anywhere else. Trying to avoid the bread, they made a nice salad using the sandwich filling. While the greens were on the forge table side, the chicken salad was top notch as was the salad dressing which had just the right amount of zing. And how could I not get a scoop of pistachio ice cream -- after all wasn't that my original intent? The ice cream is the real deal and not the colored green stuff other pistachio ice creams have. But the cherry on top (had to throw that in) was the staff. I learned they were mostly college students and all just as friendly and efficient as can be. I particularly enjoyed chatting with a charming young lady who attends Georgia Southern during the week and works at Leopold's on the weekend. Really enjoyable experience. I would have given this a perfect score except that I was hoping it would have played up more of the original soda fountain features, instead it came off a little contrived.

    Delicious! The line was extremely long which is always a good sign! It was such a hot day and they were nice enough to bring out cups and ice cold water for those waiting. Once we got our ice creams I was not disappointed! I got the Pumpkin Spice as a milkshake which was wonderful! I will definitely return on my next visit to Savannah!

  • Andrea K.

    It was on the list of had to trys for vacation - so good we went back again. Hot fudge sunday was the best! between the two visits had (or sampled) 9 different types of ice cream - ALL were great! Loved the thin mints ice cream. Not to mention the rich history of Leopold's! A must stop if you find yourself in downtown Savannah!

    Yes! I loved Leopolds. The ice cream was oh so yummy. They have some unique flavors which is a nice change of pace. AND they have the best egg salad sandwich that I've had in a very long time. The line can get long at times but they are on it and it moves right along. We had no problem with finding a place to sit. Friendly staff.

  • May L.

    Great ice cream. When we went in it was kinda crowded, but they don't seem to have a good system and made the wait that much longer. We got double scoop, which is more than I imagine what a double scoop would be. We tried honey almond cream, butter pecan, peanut butter cup, and chocolate chewies and cream. Love them all!!! A must try place.

    (5)
  • Mark L.

    Yeah, so I am a slut for icecream, and this icecream is awesome. We saw a line out the door walking by the place on the way to dinner, so we decided to stop for some icecream. During my investigation I uncovered that the chocolate chewies and cream can only be bought at this shop. There is a cookie store that used to make cookies called chocolate chewies, but have stopped making the cookies, except to supply the cookies for leoplod's icecream. I havn't confirmed this allegation with a second source, however, the witness seemed credible. On the way back from dinner, the line was still out the door, so we decided to stop for icecream again. This time my investigation led me to the honey almond and cream. Delicious. There is a rumor that the honey is sourced from honey bee's that are only allowed to collect pollen from opium poppies. This may contribute to the addictive qualities of this icecream.

  • Prince A.

    Good ol' homemade ice cream in a movie revering environment, you just can't go wrong...sample as many flavors as you like and its got that old school Johnny Rockets-like feel but classier...go and check it out, can't go wrong with this spot

    Always a must do when friends visit, or a great reason to take a break at the office. So many wonderful flavors! The almond honey is my absolute favorite!

  • K L J.

    Steve from A.lure recommended this place when we told him that despite his store's enticing list of sexy desserts, we wanted ice cream. He understood and unhesitatingly recommended Leopold's. Goooooooooood recommendation. It's ice cream, y'all. But they not only make it there, they make it really, really well. We're not talking diet, soft-serve or some non-cow alternative. This is really fattening, creamy, perfectly smooth dairy product filled with intense actual flavors and big pieces of stuff folded in. It's bad for you and will drip on your shoes. It's seriously yummy. I had a two-dip cone with chocolate chocolate chip over chocolate chip. I may have gotten that upside down - take note, the chocolate ice cream should probably been at the bottom. That way, the most chocolatey chocolate would come last. But that's a nit, and my own fault, so let's not dwell on that any more than absolutely necessary. I've learned from my mistake. Besides, I can go back and make it right, right? I'll do that. Soon. Oh, yeah: the ice cream was GREAT. The scoops were BIG. And it dripped on my shoe. My wife inhaled her top scoop, so I don't think I got to try it. She says it was really, really good. She's this little small lady, so she couldn't make it through the second scoop, so I got to try her coffee chocolate chip. It was the most coffee-y ice cream I've ever tasted, maybe the only one that I ever thought tasted like coffee. Maybe too much - be sure to have a taste before you get a scoop. And the ice cream was GREAT. The scoops were BIG. But because she got a cup instead of a cone (WHAT?), so her shoe was spared. Service was really quick and attentive. I love this place, and I got the feeling the staff does, too. Go there. Before it melts.

  • Jennifer O.

    Just got back from vacation in Tybee. Made a pit stop here, complained that the line was too long and after eating there I would wait in an even longer line. Got the shrimp salad sandwich (phenomenal!!!) and my favorite ice cream flavor, Rum Raisin, and this was the best place I've ever had it. Raisins were extremely plump and fresh, the taste of pure rum (not extract), and just the right amount of creaminess.....I wish I had stayed longer to try more flavors!!!

    (5)
  • L B.

    We knew it was good because the line stretched outside and down the sidewalk, even served us ice water while we waited in line. Once inside it was like stepping back in time at a soda shop during WWII, music and all. Loved the Rum Bisque ice cream.

    (4)
  • Tawny A.

    Ok, totally worth the 5-10 min line. The texture is so creamy and rich that I would wait an hour for a bit of the Honey Almond Cream flavor. I also tried the Cinnamon, Frozen Hot Cocoa, and Butter Pecan. All of which are made from Angel Tears and Sweet Nothings. Seriously. Really excellent ice creams is rare and this wonderful little parlor is doing something very, very right!

    (5)
  • Betty C.

    While I was on a trolley tour, the tour guide mentioned to us how popular this ice cream shop was, and recommended the flavor tutti fruitti. So we decided to give it a try, while the line for it was short. I got a double scoop of tutti fruitti and mint chocolate chip ice cream. I was surprised to find that the ice cream wasn't overly sweet. I would strongly recommend trying tutti fruitti, there are some nuts and fruits blended into it. but what I love most about the place was the atmosphere and the decorations. Old movie posters, and some old film equipment, and even what appears to be a jukebox, gives the whole place a nice old school feeling. If I lived in the area, I would be there everyday!

    (5)
  • Jen B.

    This is an EXCELLENT old-timey-styled ice cream parlor with delicious flavor options. I got the huckleberry cheesecake ice cream, but not before sampling at least 5 other flavors and all were great! When I asked for the kid's cup size (because I'm not supposed to be eating sugar, but it was SO GOOD I just needed to order the smallest size), the guy behind the counter was super sweet about it and said "Absolutely!!" Do you want the balloon that comes with it too?? "Yes, Please!!" Great ice cream! Great folks behind the counter! Great stop if you are in Savannah!!

    I read about Leopold's and had to make a stop here after dinner for some dessert. We got here after 9 and they had just closed up the extra dining/sitting area. The staff was so friendly and welcoming, they even offered to open up the extra sitting area in case our large party wanted to hang out. I tried about 7 different flavors and was torn.. but finally settled on the classic butter pecan. Yummmmm! Loved everything about this place!

    As my traveling buddy and I walked around the streets of Savannah, we came across Leopold's. Wikitravel and Yelp suggested to come here, so why not? This place reminds me of those old 50s diners. It's retro, got checkered floors, and just old fashioned all around. Luckily, we came in the morning before lunch on a weekday, so there was no line. The ice cream was creamy, tasty and very good. Lives up to the hype!

  • Karisa D.

    Lovely little old fashioned ice-cream parlor in downtown Savannah. It was one of the few things that I wanted to do during my recent visit to Savannah and I was hoping the yelp reviews would not disappoint. There a variety of delicious flavors to choose from. The staff was friendly and patient with me while I decided what I wanted (too many choices overwhelm me hehe). After trying one or two flavors, I chose the Lavender ice cream on a whim. I was lucky that my spontaneous choice worked out. Now I can say that I've had Lavender ice-cream! Tasty ice cream, great staff, definitely worth a try if you are in Savannah!!

  • Anna H.

    Cute place, but maybe I was missing something. It's good, but nothing to write home about. Nice ice cream flavors (lemon custard was good), and a pretty decent pimento cheese sandwich. Not enough room to sit, the ordering process for things other than ice cream was a little confusing, and standing in a long line prior to ordering made me expect to be wowed. I wasn't.

    (3)
  • Holly S.

    This place holds lots of nostalgia from a by gone era when families enjoyed simpler things together, like a scoop of ice cream. The staff wears retro paper hats and are patient with patrons who taste 8 flavors before deciding. Founded in 1919, they play flapper error music and maintain the retro look with decor and black and white checkerboard floor. Hubby had the caramel swirl and said it was excellent. I loved their mint ice cream with funfetti, and the coffee ice cream was rich and strong, like a good French brew. The original tuttie fruttie was the bomb. We'd definitely return when visiting Savannah.

  • April M.

    I wish I could knock a star off for the rude, half-arse service provided (or notsomuch) by the clearly disengaged girls behind the counter but I wouldn't feel right giving Leopolds less than 4 stars because the ice cream was really that good and deserves a solid 4. They've got solid chunks of ingredient in each flavor (when it applies) and it's just a nice, simple, creamy frozen desert! So many ice cream places nowadays are overloaded with ingredients and toppings and this and that, it's nice to be able to get a quality, simple, single flavor soft-serve. We tried Strawberry Cheesecake, Coconut, Peppermint and Rose Cream. They were all excellent - and I wish I had gotten the Rose Cream, once I tasted my moms I was in love!!! Ahhhh! I was also wishing I had gotten the Tutti Fruti since I read after that's their classic flavor. Ohhh well. They've got a really cute 50's soda fountain parlor look and feel and a working jukebox in the back. Fun! I was also wishing I had seen the banana cake first, too because it looked amazing. Would go back, if I was ever in Savannah again. PS: A single scoop will be enough for most - it's HUGE!

  • Natasha U.

    A must-see in Savannah, Leopold's tradition on serving up good old-fashioned homemade quality ice cream is a mainstay here. Although stuffed from our throw down at Mrs. Wilkes, we had to try out what all the buzz was about. The shop is adorned with film memorabilia from the owner's films that he worked on and is styled like a 1950's ice cream parlor. They have what appears to be a lot of college-aged students working there and they all seemed just as happy as clams to be working there. I would be too! We decided to try a scoop of their special flavor Thin Mints which was in honor of hometown girl, Juliette Gordon Lowe, the founder of the Girl Scouts. We got our scoops to stay and oh my..this was not just one scoop of ice cream. It filled up the entire ice cream glass. It was more than a generous serving size. I was in ice cream ecstasy!! Every bite was just so creamy, so delicious, so delightful! I wish I could have tried more flavors, but my belly said no :) I was honored to be able to have some ice cream at Leopold's and highly recommend if in the Savannah area, to try them out. Save room, foodies!

    During our stay in Savannah/Tybee, we made sure to stop in at the "famous" Leopold's Ice Cream joint and see what all the fuss was about. Needless to say, we stopped by 3 more times during our trip:-). The selection of flavors was very unique; for example, the flavor of the month in April was Cherry Blossom. My wife enjoyed their coffee ice cream and I stuck to the traditional cookie dough and cookies n creme. Both were exceptional! I would definitely say this is in the top 3 ice cream joints I have every been to and Leopold's has become the new standard to which I compare all ice cream to now. It's a little pricey, but its definitely worth it. The parlor is really cool and it is located on the street with tons of stores, shops, and boutiques. Also, make sure to stop by Baker's Pride Bakery and grab some of their donuts!

    Outstanding ice cream, pleasing to locals and tourists alike! And they are kind of famous too. Remember the song "Tutti Frutti"? The song actually refers to their ice cream. They have been around since 1919 and have been making ice cream in house, one batch at a time ever since. On our visit, they had a special flavor, "thin mints" in honor of the Girl Scouts founder, Juliette Gordon Lowe, a Savannah local. This ice cream flavor was delicious! It really tasted just like a thin mint cookie. The texture was really creamy and smooth. The flavor was deep and developed. And a single scoop was huge! I really wasn't expecting the ice cream to taste this good, and instead of a tourist trap, I found a charming, old-fashioned ice cream parlor. They had a couple dozen flavors in all, with some inventive flavor combinations in the mix. I would love to go back and try the rest. Hollywood memorabilia strangely rounds out the motif, but that is only because one of the family members managed to do rather well in Tinseltown. Check this place out, and don't make the mistake I made: limiting myself to one scoop. This place is great!

    Leaves a lot to be desired. The hot fudge sundae had chocolate sauce, not hot fudge. Not worth the wait in line, sorry.

    The best place to get a ice cream! Sometimes, you don't have to wait a long time to wait. The best flavors I like are tutti fruit and coconut with a waffle corn! Yummy~

    I was so disappointed. I was looking forward to having ice cream from the famous ice cream shoppe. I ordered a hot fudge sundae and what I got was vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup. Bummed out. I could have gotten that at home.

    Leopold's is a great ice cream and food shop located on Broughton street in Savannah, GA next to the SCAD theater and directly across the street from The SCAD Jen Library. You enter to find and old time ice cream shop complete with soda fountains and workers in old white wedge caps and soda jerk uniforms. Because the current owner Stratton Leopold, is also a movie producer there is lots of movie posters and memorabilia, including an old editing bay and an old Panavision film camera. The services is great and the place is always busy but worth any wait you might have.

    Retro Ice Cream joint served with a smile. Doesn't get much better than this for an ice cream cone. They have about 20 different flavors and do all the malts and shakes as well. Usually there's a line, but it goes fast... otherwise the ice cream would probably melt or something technical like that (above my paygrade)... I just eat here. :)

    On what it seemed like the hottest day of the year in Savannah (heat index 114 degrees), I decided to make a visit and take in the sights. Good idea, because it is a beautiful city, but bad idea when I breath in fire when I walk outside. While walking down Broughton Street doing some shopping, my girlfriend and I decided to grab a cone to cool off at Leopold's Ice Cream, knowing it was a landmark and had incredible reviews. After trying a few, I decided on a single scoop cone of Honey Almond & Cream ($3.75), while my girlfriend ordered a kids cup of Huckleberry Cheesecake ($2.75). Both ice creams were very creamy and delicious with a single scoop filling the perfect need for this hot day without ruining an appetite. Even though the ice cream was very tasty, was it the best I've ever had? Nope. I can't say that it was. That goes to Four Seas Ice Cream in Cape Cod. Sorry Leopold's.

    Can't believe I've never reviewed this place. I really love the milkshakes here. I usually alternate between cherry and vanilla. They are both great. This is basically a manufactured nostalgia ice cream parlor. It opened in the mid-2000's and the layout was done by a Hollywood set designer (notice the movie memorabila). But people seem to really enjoy it either way. I usually get my shake "to go" because the place is always packed out with tourists. But occasionally I will dine in during the winter. The staff is hit or miss here. Ice cream is always solid.

    For our second (ice cream) act of the day, we opted to check out Leopold's. It wasn't that we were even remotely hungry. More that we a) needed to hit the restrooms and b) figured that there was a chance that the ice cream might be too good to miss, and as it turns out...we were right on the money. There was a hefty line, which very nearly dissuaded our ice cream ambitions, but we observed it moving pretty swiftly, so we stuck it out. As with all truly great ice cream shops, samples were freely offered with no judgement or limitations. I got to try the famous tutti frutti, honey almond & cream, rum raisin and rose petal before finally deciding on a child's scoop of the rum bisque ($2.75). We savored the ice cream and getting off our feet at one of the many tables in the shop amongst a sea of happy Rockwellian families. It was a very quaint, Southern experience PARTING THOUGHT: I can't get the rose petal ice cream out of my head. It was so delicious!

    Out of this world! It was a cold and rainy day in Savannah, but that didn't stop us from having ice cream at Leopold's. Located in the historic district of Savannah, Leopold's shines on East Broughton Street. We actually had lunch here too. We started with: Chicken Salad Sandwich - so fresh and tasty. Creamy Turkey and Vegetable soup - mmm, perfect for this rainy day. and then the Piece de resistance: Cinnamon Ice Cream in a sugar cone - wow. The cone is nice and crunchy. We only had the single scoop, but they really know how to serve a generous-size scoop, like it was totally hanging off the cone. Hubbie did a good job pressing the ice-cream down to fill up that cone. Every bite of cone was coupled with the cinnamony ice cream. So creamy, cinnamony, and not too sweet either. It was nice. Now I wished we had the double scoop! I got a souvenir pin of a ice cream cone there. Really cute. Enjoy! Leopold's is not to be missed if you are in the area!

    This is another place that gets by on reputation. It's ice cream. It's good, but it didn't blow me away. I had the peanut butter chip. When I got there, I was the third person out the door. The line moved quickly and one scoop was more than enough. Should be for $4+ (which can get you an entire half-gallon in the grocery store).

  • A C.

    This place is a cute, old fashioned ice cream shop that seems to be very popular! There was quite a line around 9pm, but there is plenty of competent staff (which seems rare these days...) to push the line along quickly. Had the chocolate and it was very airy and tasty. It tasted like chocolate cake batter. Yum!

  • Craig G.

    A beautiful interior with heavy marble tables, metal ceiling, and period fixtures. All the movie memorabilia was great to see. But it's not all show, as the ice cream is excellent. I had the coffee flavor that was nice and strong, with another scoop of peanut butter. The staff are very helpful and friendly.

    Recently in Savannah for my first visit, I kept hearing about Leopold's-from friends, guide books, tour guides, etc. Clearly, a visit was in store! We headed over at around 12:30 on a Monday; there was a standard lunchtime crowd, but no line at the ice cream counter. Being October (even though it was a balmy 80 degrees!), I had to go with the pumpkin spice ice cream in a sugar cone. And lemme tell you, it was really REALLY good ice cream. In fact, everyone I was with got the pumpkin spice, and we all loved it. I only sprung for the kid size (1 scoop), which was plenty following lunch. This set me back less that $3, which was also a plus. There's a reason Leopold's in on every must-stop list for Savannah--don't miss it!

  • Steven H.

    Best milkshake I've ever had. Ask for the chocolate shake Savannah Dan style. It is chocolate on steroids. So creamy, rich and chocolatey. When your straw hits the bottom, you will be sad. Pricey at $5.50 but a lot of work goes into making this baby as perfect as it is. This is a great, old-fashioned ice cream place that I'm sure most people would love.

  • Rahul S.

    Definitely the best ice cream I've ever had, that is once I got to order. That required me to stand in line for about 15mins. Apparently this was them less busy and there is usually a minumum 10mins wait. That constant line exists for a reason. When I was waiting in line I thought of trying a few flavors before ordering one. Unfortunately, the first flavor I tried (caramel swirl) was so amazing, I didn't even bother trying anything else to confuse myself. Highly recommend this place.

    Great ice cream. Long line though; nearly to the corner of the block but it moved fast. They have some unique flavors and I decided on the tutti fruity. It was great. It is high fat cream so the texture is very smooth and creamy.

    Been coming here for years once a summer to get the Incredible ice cream!!! Peppermint is my favorite and I also got tutti frutti this year. The ORIGINAL tutti frutti! They use the original recipes from the owner's father, I believe, from 1919! And also have seasonal flavors like eggnog and frozen hot chocolate. I also ran into the owner who used to be a famous Hollywood director. The store decor is fun displaying old film rolls, movie posters, and photos of the owner with actors and celebrities. They use the original marble countertop and other things from the first store as well!

  • Adam K.

    Excellent, very creamy ice cream. Prices are reasonable. Portions for even the small size were good. Selection of flavors is good. The butter pecan has fresh, not candied pecans. They also have "flavor of the month." Staff is friendly. Cones were fresh tasting. Sufficient seating inside and outside. We went twice while on our vacation. Only had ice cream and milkshakes.

    Leopold's according to the Travel Channel has the World's 5th best ice cream. I can't imagine what the other 4 places taste like, but Leopold's ice cream is incredible. I enjoyed the Mocha Chocolate Chunk on a cone. This is a must visit when visiting Savannah. The line moved quickly and it was worth any wait.

  • Jess P.

    I really enjoyed Leopold's Ice Cream, but mainly for the atmosphere. It was so fun to be transported back in time for a few minutes. However, maybe it was from all the great Yelp reviews and bragging advertisements plastered on Savannah trip guides, but the ice cream did not meet my expectations. Of course it was good (question: when is ice cream not good?), but it was not particularly memorable.

    (3)
  • Monica B.

    The wait takes a while, which in this summer heat is pretty much torture, but it was worth it. We ordered the almond honey and cream, and strawberry. Both were creamy and the flavors were subtle and not overpowering or overly sugary like some ice cream can tend to be. A nice spot to cool down if you're in Savannah.

    (4)
  • David B.

    Great atmosphere and friendly staff. The sandwiches were good (especially the chicken salad) but the highlight was certainly the ice cream. The coffee chip had hit-you-over-the-head coffee flavor which was great and the chocolate chewies and cream was delicious (I also tasted the lemon custard and would love to go back and order that next time - not too lemony). We grabbed an old fashioned cream soda to go and enjoyed sipping on it while wandering around town exploring the beautiful city of Savannah. Great spot to stop for lunch for a could of first-timers like us!

    I'm an ice cream snob and will always stop to try out these local shops. Our young girl scouts loved the choices they picked. It was late at night and I went to the counter and tried out some spoon samples. This would have been impossible earlier in day with the line out the door.

  • Sandy D.

    After reading all the great reviews on this ice cream shoppe, we decided as a family we had to check it out! This place looks like it's out of the 1950's, it's a very cute place that has a lot of history. On the walls are all the famous people that have been there, and it's quiet a lot of celebrities! It was interesting to walk around and see all the pictures. They had a big assortment of ice cream to choose from! I had some kind of huckleberry ice cream (can't remember the exact name is it is a limited edition for the month we were there). That was by far the best ice cream I have ever had! I can see why so many people come here! My husband had the butter pecan and loved it too! My 3 kids all got something different, and they loved theirs and ate every last drop in their dish! I highly recommend coming here for the atmosphere and the ice cream!!

    Savannah in June...hot, right? What else goes better with hot weather other than ice cream? Nothing, that's right. Leopold's Ice Cream is a Savannah staple and if you don't visit at least once during your time in Savannah you've cheated yourself out of some d*mn fine dairy products. Located in what I assume is its original location -- nice little scoop of history served ice cold (I mean REALLY cold)...I would complain that the Double Chocolate is too chocolatey, but what did I expect when I ordered a flavor called Double Chocolate? Complaint, fail. When your t-shirt and shorts are sticking to your skin due to the copious amounts of sweat exuding off of your body -- you'll be happy you have a scoop (or two, or three even) of Leopold's to cool you down. If you refer to my previous review of 700 Drayton, Leopold's created a special flavor JUST for the restaurant and their praline dessert. SO freaking good.

    Exceptional ice cream. One of the best ice cream shops that I have been to. We were in Savannah for 2.5 days and we went here 3 times! It really is that good! Dont let the line out the door dissuade you as it goes by fast due to the exceptional service the staff provides.

  • Marisol M.

    The fact that it's an ice cream parlor and looks like an ice cream parlor get it two stars. Other than that, it just wasn't the place for my husband and me. The line was long, which I wouldn't mind, but it was stressful because you felt rushed to make a decision. The flavors weren't to our preference either. It seems like plenty of people like the flavors based on the reviews, so maybe it was the fact they had some freezer issues earlier that day. Regardless, wasn't impressed. But I'm one of many reviews.

  • Vee V.

    Mmmm ice cream....I'm an ice cream fiend. Love the stuff and can never get enough, so how excited was I when, after having it bookmarked for years I finally had a chance to go to Leopold's on one of my business trips. I got in right before a rush and you can tell the workers got a little frazzled. Well, you can hear it too when one of them said "whoa, did a show just let out?" turned out to be a tour bus. Anyway, they hand you a menu to decide what ice cream flavor you want, and they ask that you pass it back and keep passing it back so that you're ready to order when it's your turn. I chose, based off of yelp reviews, to go for the honey almond and then on a whim added the Rum Bisque. I honestly liked the flavor of the Rum Bisque a lot more than the honey almond, which was sort of dissapointing. The honey almond had TOO many almonds in it. It ended up being super crunchy ice cream and that just wasn't what I was into. The flavor of the rum bisque, however, was on point. I will defintely make another trip to Leopold's when I'm in Savannah and try some other flavors. I didn't leave jumping for joy, but it's a great spot to sit, enjoy some ice cream or maybe an old fashioned root beer float. And it's ice cream...that already gets a vote in my book.

    My dad loves ice cream so on our first family trip to Savannah this ice cream shop was a must. We were not disappointed. The ice cream is rich and delicious and the atmosphere is perfect. On our second trip to Savannah, we went during peak hours so the line was out the door. The line moves rather slow for an ice cream shop which is the only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5.

    Well worth the wait if there is a line (goes quickly). The ice cream is the best. Get it in a cup, because it melts fast in the Savannah weather. Highly recommend your do not miss at least one cup or cone.

  • Emily M.

    Such a cute shop! The employees were so kind and they offered us a taste of any flavors we were considering. I actually didn't try anything other than the Chocolate Raspberry Swirl because I love anything raspberry! I only wish the raspberry flavor were more prominent, but I loved it just the same. I can't wait to try more flavors!

  • Morgan M.

    We were told by a tour guild that it's ranked 5th in the world for its ice cream. Clearly we had to go. There was a massive line out the door. It did move quickly though. The customer service couldn't be better. There was someone walking outside passing out ice cold water as it was out. Once you were inside you were greeted with a smile and a eagerness to help... a la 1950's. I had the almond honey and strawberry ice cream with lots of hot fudge. What can I say? Amazing, delicious... all of the above. The almond honey ice cream had slivers of almonds all though it... Kind of reminded me of Panera Bread flavored whipped cream cheese that is almond home. So good. The hot fudge was really thick and perfect. The husband had a banana split. With all the topping he had a hard time telling the vanilla from the raspberry chocolate chunk, but he still loved it. I'm so glad I don't live in Savannah because I would seriously be 500 pounds.

    I've heard of Leopold's from a food segment on the View as being one of the best ice cream parlors in America. I can see why the line was out of the door when my mother and I arrived there but the wait wasn't long at all. The décor was that of the old fashion ice cream parlor from long ago. The owner is a Hollywood producers so there are film memorabilia mixed in there also. I ordered the rum bisque made with bits of nuts and cookies. Best ice cream so far, creamy but not heavy. I'll have to try the sundaes next time because they look sooo good. They also serve sandwiches. Service was great. As we were standing in line a nice lady came out and gave the people waiting in line water. Another person in line noticed a picture of Stratton Leopold's (the owner) wife, funny she looks very similar to the woman who gave water to the patrons. Great hometown feel and great ice cream too. I'll be back again for sure if I'm in the area.

    This place was great! I was really looking forward to coming here after reading all of the exciting reviews. It was so hot out today so we were pretty anxious to get here ASAP! When we got in there were a lot of people behind the counter and they were all really nice, and not stingy on samples! The ice cream was so good! Very welcoming place, definitely want to come back next time I'm in the area.

    Long lines are long. Seriously though. Nearly though the door. And you know what, the sorbet is totally worth the wait. They have a few flavors, but nothing too fancy, but diverse and delicious. They were also nice enough the let me combine two flavors in one cup which made me a happy little camper. I would say this was one of the most favorable places in Savannah.

    After riding the tour trolley we decided to stop by and get some ice cream b/c of how hot it was outside. The ice cream was great. It was smooth, creamy, and tasty. I got the honey nut and almond and he got the chocolate chewy. We each got a single scoop ($3.75) During the tour we had heard about how famous Leopold ice cream was and the current owner ( a son). The line was almost out the door. The line did move quickly. We learned that current son was a movie director and he was involved in Cape Fear, Paycheck, General's Daughter, and Mission Impossible III. Store: had a 1950s type feels to it ice cream parlor. They had seating outside and ample seating inside. The workers even dressed like the 1950s which I thought was kind of cool. They had a juke box. Decor: Movie posters were posted on the walls of the movie. A glass encased some props from the MI3 movie such as the rabbit foot, the ring he gave his wife, the camera, the top secret cases, and more. Service: quick and fast. They also serve lunch - sandwiches. They had about 30 different flavors and you could add topings. You could get malts and milkshakes too.

    If you're in Savannah, put Leopold's on your places to eat. This place has a wonderful traditional/old school quality ice cream shop feel. It's so popular, there was a line out the door. The staff is extremely friendly and will readily offer you samples. I decided on the Honey Almond Cream made with Savannah Bee Company Honey, and it tasted pure, natural and full-flavored. I can't wait to go again and try something else!

    I was in Savannah for the day in early August with my two teenagers. We were doing the on/off trolley tours, and it was such a hot day. Right around lunchtime we hit the stop near Leopolds - perfect timing! There was a line (and deservedly so) but it moved very quickly. Regardless of whether you want food or ice cream, everyone gets in the same line. You file in past the ice cream counter first, and they offer free tastes of all their flavors. When you finally place your order, if you are ordering a meal you can also place your ice cream order at the same time. You pay for it all at once, then when you are done eating you can walk up to the ice cream counter (no standing in line) and get your ice cream which is nice. Once you order and pay, they give you a numbered table tent to place on your table. We had to wait a couple of minutes until a table opened up but then we were good. They bring your drinks out to you pretty quickly, followed a little later by the sandwiches. We ordered a ham and a turkey sandwich. They come on "wheat" bread, but in my world it is more like a white/multi-grain type bread, not your stereotypical brown wheat bread. Bag of chips on the side and we were all set. I don't know if they were delicious or if we were starved, but they disappeared in seconds! The ice cream was delicious - one tip, if you are planning on leaving with your ice cream get it in a cup. It was so hot out that it was melting down the cone faster than we could eat it! Would love to come back again sometime!

    Refreshing respite from a long day of walking around Savannah's historic district, this Broughton St ice cream shop is a must visit. The outside is decorated in vintage neon while the inside combines movie memorabilia combined with traditional soda shop decor. Paying homage to the birthplace of the Girl Scouts, several of the ice cream flavors incorporate much loved GS cookies. The Savannah Smiles flavor combined with the Raspberry Sorbet was the perfect light combination for a sunny spring day. There are plenty of tables to sit and enjoy in the comforts of AC or Leopold's is only a block away from one of the city Squares. As an aside, I did feel the prices were on the higher side. However, this is from scratch, small batch ice cream so guess it's to be expected. Leopolds also has a full range menu for a lunch. But, it's really about the ice cream!

    We were a little concerned when we saw the line out the door, usually indicating a place that is touristy and no longer lives up to the hype. But we had heard good things and waited anyway. One of the owners walked along the line handing out cups of ice water and it moved along. Leopold's has been serving tutti-frutti since it opened in 1919 so we had to try that. Excellent creamy ice cream with fruit and nuts. Lemon custard was also creamy and flavorful, tasted homemade. We went back a second time a few days later and it was just as good. The hot fudge sundae was made with housemade hot fudge. If I lived near Leopold's I would seriously gain 50 pounds.

    I can't say no to a good scoop of ice cream. I haven't tried any of the milkshakes or specialty deserts, but the ice cream is delicious by itself. Portion sizes are kind of big for me, so I usually can't finish a single scoop in a cone. My favorite flavors are mocha chocolate chip, caramel swirl, and frozen hot cocoa. The staff are super friendly too, which makes the whole experience more enjoyable.

    Wow! I consider myself an ice cream connoisseur, and this place really stands out. I was a little wary as I don't like typical old-fashioned fountain style ice cream parlors, but the ice cream here was on point. During busy times (sunny weekends), expect long lines. But it's definitely still worth it. Honey Almond and Chocolate Chewies are my go-to flavors. Incredible. Simply incredible how balanced the flavors are with their distributed textures and sweet but not-so-sweet deliciousness.

    Touristy, yes. Great ice cream, definitely! Worth the wait when the longs are really long! Heck yeah! That's all part of the experience. Chat with those around you, take time to ponder the flavors of the month, have a sip of cool water they're sure to come around with to help you thru the wait. Then sample... yes, sample a few flavors until you decide just which one is right for you. Go for a sundae! Ice creams and toppings are made right there. Among us we tried the Tutti-fruity & Lemon Custard (they've supposedly used the same recipe since 1919), and Buttered Pecan, & Pistachio topped with hot fudge. My only regret? I would have loved to have been in Savannah long enough to try a few more flavors!

    Their reputation speaks for itself. I ordered the lemon ice cream then saw the rose ice cream and had a sample. Although my lemon was good... the rose was fabulous! I guess I need to get back to Savannah just to have some rose ice cream. mmMMmm

    If you went to Savannah and missed this place, you should go back. You'll wait on a line to savor ice cream in an old fashioned parlor. Well worth it.

  • Meredith H.

    This place rocks. It's worth waiting in the line that goes out the door...even for a Dixie cup-sized child's serving. Husband's strawberry was delicious and my lemon custard was amazing. I also sampled the Rum something and the Coffee Chocolate Chip, which were also both spectacular. Go here. Immediately. Even for the tiny cup :)

    Yum! Long lines if you get there after a show at the theater next door or, well, most nights to be honest. Always a few creative flavors. A bit pricey, but seriously yummy.

    Be prepared to stand in line but it's totally worth it! One of those must go to places when in Savannah. I had a scoop of banana and a scoop of coconut. Super yummy!

  • Tara E.

    Well I knew it was going to be a good place when the line was out the door at 10:00 pm (luckily the line moves fairly quickly). I saw that there was a lemon custard flavored ice cream that was true to the original 1919 recipe so I asked for a sample. I have to say that I'm not normally a fan of lemon flavored anything (except fresh lemon curd) but this was AMAZING! Seriously thinking of stopping there again before I leave.

    Delicious banana ice cream. Delicious lemon custard ice cream (this flavor is being made the same way it was produced in 1919!)

    Very good ice cream, but quite expensive. You do get a very large scoop though. The staff was really nice and they gave us a free glass of water, very refreshing with such sweet ice cream!

    Well this was the last stop and had to get some ice cream. It was very delicious and I have to warn you that the ice cream is RICH!! So, unless you can handle it, get two scoops! Highly recommend the coconut flavor!

  • Kate H.

    Yum for Leopold's! This place was just down the street from our hotel, and I'd read about it in several travel books. We went late in the evening and it wasn't crowded at all. We shared a double-scoop of chocolate and strawberry. The chocolate was excellent, and the strawberry was pretty good. Our only weird thing is that the girl scooped our ice cream, set it on the counter and proceeded to answer the ringing phone. She talked on the phone for about 5 minutes before she finally asked someone to ring us up (I'm sure my glare in her direction probably helped). The other gal rang us up -- kind of snippily like it was our fault she had to stop refilling the freezers -- and then walked away without giving us our ice cream that sat melting on the counter behind her. We say "hey!" and she gave us our dish. Service could use some improvement, but the ice cream is great!

  • Nik B.

    Can you say free refills on fresh sodas? Sweet. This place is fun. It has unique and classic ice cream flavors that are all made perfectly. Fresh sodas. Cute server girls. Not to mention, the owner is a movie producer and there is props and memorabilia from various blockbuster films such as Mission Impossible 3.

  • Don F.

    Great, this place is not to be missed. I loved the nut flavors, but all were good. We bought two to share, but finished them so fast we got two more and wished we lived closer. Now we spend our days trying to find a place closer to us that taste as good as Leopold's Ice Cream.

    I love everything about the establishment. The food, the decor, the staff. It is truly what an ice cream shop should be. Everyone is attentive, the flavors rotate, and it is fun to look over the movie props !

  • Rachel M.

    Mmmm, delicious! The new husband and I spent an afternoon hour or so of our honeymoon walking around beautiful downtown Savannah, our hands sticky with cones from Leopold's. (Well, my hands were a mess. Jason is an adult and managed to eat his ice cream without letting half of it melt). This shop is fun and retro-looking, and the ice cream is great - no fancy or unrecognizable flavors.I got a double scoop of chocolate chocolate chip and mint chip; while I don't remember what my husband got, I do remember that they responded to his nut allergy competently and with little fuss - always a plus!

    (4)
  • Kari S.

    Oh, no! Are you are dying for some ice cream but there's an out-of-the-door line at Leopold's? Fear not, the line will move along at a steady clip. Oh, no! Are there are so many flavors (many of which you've never tried before like cinnamon, honey almond, rose and tutti fruttti) that making a decision seems to challenging? Fear not, the counter folk will give recommendations and let you sample till you're sure you've made the right selection(s). Oh, no! Are you lactose intolerant? Fear not, there are nearby pharmacies that sell LactAid and other lactase enzyme supplements that will allow you to enjoy Leopold's creamy wares in relative GI peace. Oh, no! Is it so warm outside that you're leaving an ice cream trail on the sidewalk? Well, you'll just have to eat it a little bit faster because it would be a shame to waste one heavenly bite (which in my case was honey almond).

  • T T.

    Go for the ICE CREAM!!!!! Delish!! The pistachio ice cream had tons of nuts and super creamy. Also, this ice cream is so good it converted my daughter who normally won't eat ice cream! She ate the peppermint ice cream and has not stopped talking about it.

    Does Leopold's really need my bazillionth positive review? Probably not, but I'm going to write it anyway. This was my second trip to Savannah with my fiance, the ice cream afficianato. I'm not kidding. This guy talks about ice cream in a more loving way than I have ever heard him talk about me. When he gave it up for Lent, he was more excited to get an ice cream cone than he was the night I said I'd marry him. Sadly, this is no exaggeration. The entire flight to Savannah, he just kept saying, don't forget, we need to go back to Leopolds and get some ice cream. I heard this at least 4 times a day til we finally got there. And I have to admit, he was right to want to return to this place. The ice cream is simply divine. It is creamy and thick and they have awesome flavors. Also, their portions are out of control big, so you really are getting your money's worth. When you order a flavor, you really get the whole flavor and they fill it with chunks of yummy goodness. Caramel is REALLY caramel, strawberries are REALLY in there. It's awesome. The line is out the door, so plan accordingly. Luckily, Leopold's has...they have tons of seating. Just can't say enough good things about this place. I have no doubt my next trip to Savannah we will be returning to this place.

    YUM! Locals kept telling us to check this place out and I'm SO glad we did! I got the double scoop of Honey Almond Cream and Pistachio. omg... I fell in love. So good! The pistachios were really present in the ice cream flavor and had a lot of the actual nut, whole all throughout it. The Honey Almond Cream tasted like a vanilla infused with the toblerone chocolate, without the chocolate, this was my favorite. Workers were so friendly and were more than happy to help out with flavor choices and giving out samples. I love the old-fashion feel to the place. You can tell this place is a favorite for many. I'm so sad I live so faraway from this place. I will miss their awesome Honey Almond Cream. sighhsss.

  • S S.

    I have since moved out of the area but LOVE this place. It will forever be one of my favorite places to get ice cream. The employees are always patient and friendly since I try something new every visit. I miss this place and plan to go back when I visit again.

  • Brittany K.

    Best ice cream I've ever had. Service was awesome, line is long but moves quickly, and open late. I tried the honey almond cream, rose petal cream, and rum bisque. They were all insanely delicious, I was told I was eating it like someone had threatened to snatch it from me! A single scoop is pretty big, especially on a cone because it fills the entire thing. A must try if you're in Savannah!

    (5)
  • Whitney H.

    This is the best ice cream I have ever tasted--and I've tasted a lot of ice cream! The ice cream bar and other fixtures are the originals from 1919, and so are the recipes. The story behind the place is incredible, and the memorabilia there is just amazing. A successful movie producer owns it, so there is all kinds of stuff in there from all the movies he's produced! The ice cream shop was his father's and uncles' place way back when, and he decided to reopen it several years ago. I just can't say enough about this place or recommend it enough. =)

  • Allyson B.

    I will be one more joyful voice in the hymn of glorious praises to the almighty Leopold's. This is truly the creamiest, smoothest, tastiest ice cream I've ever had - no small compliment. I had a scoop each of Dutch utopia and honey almond and cream...amazing combo. My mother is a chocolate fiend and had the vanilla chocolate chip, she said it was incredible. So delicious. But here is where Leopold's lost one star from me (sadly). My dad is diabetic and has to watch his sugar intake. I know you can't cater to everyone's needs but it was tough for him to sit and watch us enjoy ours without being able to have anything. Their sorbets have "less sugar" according to one of the servers, but it was too risky for him given that they didn't know how much or how little, etc. Again, I know they specialize in regular ice cream but considering how many people have to - or want to - watch their sugar intake I'd love to see them work on expanding their ice cream makin' skills to include other options. Overall though - worth the excruciatingly long wait in a line of tourists for a taste of this Savannah legend.

  • Allison D.

    Good ice cream in an old-timey parlor. They had some very interesting flavors, but I went with plain old strawberry in a kid-sized cup. It was so thick and rich; I don't think I could have eaten any more than that.

    (4)
  • Julie R.

    I saved room after lunch for Leopold's. Butter pecan and tutti frutti were recommended by our tour guide. I happen to love both and they didn't disappoint. The ice cream was rich and creamy. You can taste the love in it. Even better we lucked out with no line on a weekday after lunch. This could be 5 stars but the prices are obnoxiously jacked up. Almost $4 for a small scoop. It's a little much I'd say...

    I'm not a huge sweet tooth...but when it comes to ice cream, I become one instantly--much like a werewolf under a full moon. Leopold's Ice Cream is some of the best freshly made ice cream I have ever had. After tasting upwards of 7 different flavors I settled on Rose Cream (yeah...ice cream made with roses) and Honey Almond Creme. I couldn't believe what I was experiencing...and all on mistake. We just happened upon the place. It wasn't on any map we had. The glow of the neon pink sign pulled us in...and I am glad that it did. The smoothness and richness of the ice cream was perfect. Just the right blend of flavors with cream...and it was so soft! The inside is cool too...the owner is a film producer and there are posters, cardboard cutouts and other film memorabilia on display (including a Panavision camera old style film editing station). Very cool.

  • Jennifer N.

    I went here with my husband after a recommendation from a local. Maybe I expected too much after hearing about how great it is, but I thought my ice cream was just OK. Could have been the flavor I picked (mocha chocolate chip), but it was so busy I didn't want to hold up the line by sampling a few others that appealed to me (my fault). My husband seemed to really like his (coffee flavor). To me, his wasn't any different from anything I can get in the store. My opinion on this single experience aside, I would say give this place a shot. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere itself is worth a trip in the shop. Plus, there are plenty of other things on the menu aside from the ice cream. Just be prepared for a line out the door if you plan on going to Leopold's.

  • Mandy L.

    One of the reasons why Savannah has such charm. This old school ice cream parlor immediately put a smile on my face. They've been around since 1919 so they know what they are doing! We didn't try their famous tutti frutti flavor, but I did try the Japanese cherry flavor which was great. And their pistachio ice cream isn't an unnatural green because they keep all their ingredients natural, with no artificial dyes.

    FOOD ALLERGY ALERT! I'm apprehensive to go into ice cream places like this because my 8-year-old daughter is HIGHLY ALLERGIC to all nuts & peanuts. She's has anaphylactic reactions in the past with exposure so I'm extremely cautious & conscious of cross-contamination. I understand that no place is 100% safe but the sign when you walk in letting you know that they do their very best to keep things clean & sanitized let me feel a smidge more comfortable. I informed the gentleman who took our order of her allergies & that I needed her to have a clean scooper, etc. He went to the back of the shop & opened a container that had never been scooped from, and he did it with a completely clean & sanitized scooper. I have never had anyone take her food allergy as seriously as me, but this place definitely made me feel like they cared & did everything they could to insure that they'd do their part to keep her safe. I cannot even begin to tell you how much this means to us! And yes, the ice cream was DELICIOUS!

    (5)
  • G Z.

    Not all that. Big scoops of ice cream. The lemon custard did not wow me. Perhaps I picked the wrong flavor... Most people are just happy have to have some cold sweat cream with flavoring. Not me. I have had ice cream make me jump for joy and cry for the texture, and inventive flavor. The very best ice cream in the world, for the record, is Bertillon in Paris. Humphry Slocombe in San Francisco is 2nd and Scoops in LA and Sundaes and Cones in NYC tie for 3rd.

  • Cherie M.

    Lovely lovely experience. Rose water ice cream is my favorite! I've been dreaming of their ice cream since my first visit in 2008 and I finally returned in October 2010! Unfortunately rose water ice cream is a seasonal treat and couldn't get it this round, but I was more than satisfied with the rest of their ice cream selection. My favorites were the butter pecan, seasonal pumpkin, and one of their sundae selections. It's a nice size scoop of ice cream and the whole place gives you the feel of an old fashioned slice of Americana ice cream shop. Definitely make this a stop when you visit Savannah. (Winter is the best bc your ice cream won't melt as fast!)

  • Jenni T.

    Neat little place right off of Abercorn. I got to visit one hot night about two weeks ago with a friend. Luckily we got there right before a big rush, because by the time we left, the line was out the door. It's just like an old fashioned ice cream parlor. I got a strawberry ice cream soda, and my friend got a chocolate malted. Both very tasty. I should have tried something more adventurous (lavender ice cream!), but just wanted to sit down. The complimentary ice water at the end of the counter is a nice touch. I love all the movie memorabilia, especially the case full of Mission Impossible III stuff right behind where we were sitting. My only complaint is I think the portion sizes are a little small for the price, I've had bigger shakes and sodas for less, but I know full well we're paying for the atmosphere and location. I'm ok with that. This place is worth it.

    (5)
  • Kelli S.

    What a charming place to enjoy a delicious milkshake on a hot Savannah afternoon! Definitely a throwback to retro soda fountains from the 50's, which makes this place even better. The staff were super friendly and I liked how you could combine any two flavors of their ice cream for your milkshake (we went with mocha and peppermint). Wish they had a Leopold's where we live in California!

    (4)
  • Chris P.

    I have nothing bad to say about this place. The line was long but moved very fast. Probably the freshest, best ice cream I had ever paid for. The flavors were all what I expected and they managed to have enough turn over to have a family of five sit inside pretty quickly. They also serve sandwiches so the next time I'm in Savannah I might try one first then get Ice cream.

  • Jim D.

    *Attention all chocolate ice cream fiends and fanatics!!* There's an unknown treasure to the outside world located in this cutsie ice cream parlor in the form of chocolate chocolate chip ice cream. This is no ordinary chocolate, dear reader -- not at all. This is CHOCOLATE decadence in a cup (or cone!). It's without question, one of the richest, creamiest and smoothest chocolate ice creams I ever had the pleasure of putting through these greedy lips. If that wasn't fantastic enough alone, it was chock full of huge chocolate chunks. If this chocolate ice cream was THIS good, I can't even begin to fathom what the double chocolate flavor would be like! Oh my. There were plenty of other eye appealing flavors available too. And I also tried the red raspberry sorbet which was quite tasty itself, but if you're in the mood for something lusciously indulgent, the chocolate chocolate chip is a sure bet.

    I'm in love with Leopold's Ice Cream -- sounds more like a tittle for an Italian movie, but this Ice Cream parlor is really good; I just had the Caramel one and It was creamy and tasty. I also love the old-fashioned looking place that seems like from an era from the past. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and like me, they also like cleanliness!!!!

    I'm so happy that I didn't try this on the first day of our trip to Savannah....I would have been here twice a day! There were four of us enjoying the flavors: Almonds & Cream, Frozen Hot Chocolate, Double Chocolate Chip, Butter Pecan with roasted Georgia pecans, and the Red Raspberry Sorbet. As we sat around our table enjoying every bite it sounded like a replay of the famous scene from the movie When Harry Met Sally when she was at the restaurant! Our added treat was enjoying meeting the owner, Stratton Leopold. What an interesting gentleman! Leopoldo's is worth planning another trip to Savannah!!

  • Jason R.

    Any ice cream place where the employees have a permanent sugar high cannot be bad. The honey-almond is really nifty. The honey's present throughout, but the almonds bide their time until the very end. Then *wham* you have the almond depth throughout your head. The rum one pretty much infuses your head from the get-go. And the chocolate chocolate chip is everything decadent you may want from the name.

    Came back because a friend of mine was visiting and this is kind of Savannah place to go and hang out in the front. Again, was not blown away and still thinking I must have ordered the wrong thing. This time I ordered a milkshake and kind of went away from the scoops, per say. gonna have to give them one last shot sometime...maybe we can squeeze a four out of 'em.

    (3)
  • Andrew E.

    The ice cream is good - nothing exceptional though. I had the strawberry shortcake and found the strawberries icy and the cream not very rich - must be a Philadelphia-style ice cream. I don't know if I would come here again, but I wouldn't avoid it.

  • Sree N.

    Superlong line out the door, but the well experienced staff quickly negotiate the line which is really impressive in that they didn't seem to falter at all the whole while we were there. I had the tutti frooti and a lemonade while wife ordered a honey almond ice cream. We both loved the tutti frooti and enjoyed the ice creams in the seating inside Leopolds. Movie posters adorn the walls of the seating area giving it a relaxed feel. We ignored the long lines just like other folks dining in did and enjoyed out ice creams over simple, relaxed chit chat. Cheap and good ice cream. You HAVE to give this a try.

  • Farrah V.

    Honey almond ice cream was sooo tasty and unique! The inside decor is classic. I would give it 5 stars, but since it is pretty pricey ($8 for a sundae, $4ish for a scoop of ice cream) I give it 4 stars. We will be back!

  • Mike K.

    My wife and I got a kick out of this place. This is an old school ice cream shop, and the kids behind the counter wear paper garrison caps as they sling scoops. The flavors are all made for this shop. We got cones, one of chocolate peanut butter, and another of "rum bisque." Both were fantastic. One of the original owners had moved out to Hollywood and became a movie producer. He sent a lot of movie paraphernalia back to the ice cream shop, and it adorns the walls. Lots of stuff to check out, and it spurs conversation. Great spot for kids and adults, a true independent gem that puts Baskin Robbins to shame.

  • Julie N.

    Delicious and love the history! I had a hot fudge sundae with PB chippy ice cream and it came in one of those old fashioned glass dishes with a generous portion. All the servers had these cute hats suggesting an earlier time. The building and the exterior sign all seemed old and there was a brief history on each table. Great experience!

  • Jane Q P.

    It was cold so I skipped the ice cream, but did have a chicken salad wrap. It was chunk-chicken which I didn't care for, but had a good flavor (they use curry!) Hopefully I will get back for some ice cream. Staff was pleasant, service was fast, and establishment was clean! I got a mini-history lesson from one of the servers. :) Lots of Hollywood memorabilia around.

  • Tiffane C.

    In a world of chain ice cream shops and manufactured flavors, Leopold's is a nice reprieve from the usual. The history and the decor, which is a nice nod to the '60s and includes the memorabilia from the owner's movie producing days, makes this place extra special. So does the actual ice cream. It's made fresh on-site and the flavors reflect that. I chose the pistachio ice cream which had crunchy pistachio nuts throughout and was super-delicious. My boyfriend, who's not a huge fan of sweets, fell in love with the peanut butter chippy ice cream and was disappointed that he couldn't get the same flavor ice cream anywhere in Atlanta. He mentioned semi-jokingly that he'd have to drive back to Savannah so he could have it again. Must be pretty good stuff! That said, give it a try.

    (5)
  • Teri P.

    My husband and I went on a late night ice cream run and decided to try Leopold's because of the popularity of it. We went right before closing and there were still quite a few people in line and sitting in and outside eating ice cream. I think I was expecting them to have a lot more flavors than they had, so I had a hard time picking one because nothing really stood out to me. I finally went with double chocolate chip. It was good, really creamy but the chocolate flavor was almost overpowering...and I LOVE my chocolate. Hubby had coconut, he said it was "very, very good". I should have sampled other flavors, but it seemed like they were trying to wrap things up since it was just a few minutes before closing and I didn't wanna be that person that held them up. I know how that is! I would like to go back during a month when they have their seasonal flavors, they sound delicious! We went in July and that's the only month that they don't have them :(

  • Sumner B.

    We love quality ice cream and this was the best we have ever had. And I had a very nice soup and sandwich as well. You may see a line, but it is worth the wait if you are liking good ice cream and with a large variety as well. For example the coconut had lots of real shredded coconut in it. All flavors were as creamy as you can get.

    (5)
  • Jocelyn A.

    Good ice cream, but not as great as the hype will lead you to believe. The shop is cute and the staff is super friendly. The rum bisque flavor is the best. It is almond flavored with macaroon pieces mixed in!

  • Ron O.

    Glad Stratton left Hollywood (and nice of him to bring some of it with him to decorate the parlor) and resurrected the family business. Savannah is a happier place because of this fine establishment. Weather was cold outside, but we knew we had to make the trek to Leopold's for an amazing ice cream treat. And, a treat it was! The Japanese Cherry Blossom was unique, creamy, and ohsogood! The scooper told us that the JCB contained the "essence" of the blossom - so Japanese. Being in Georgia, one has to have something w/ peanuts... in with the Peanut Butter Chippy. Yummy peanut butter flavor w/ cookie sized chocolate chips - ooh wee! And, they did a super job on an old standby, Mint 'n Chip. All the ice cream had a nice texture and was finely crafted. Generous portions and friendly helpful energetic staff. Nice neons, too. If you ever find yourself out West, go to Fosselman's in Alhambra, CA - and, you make the call!

    Wonderful. Delicious sundae - mix of coffee and butter-pecan, but we also sampled other more unusual flavors and everything was delish. Ice creams are made in-house, fyi. Topped that sundae with whipped cream and two cherries. Paid a little extra but it was totally worth it for the mountain of cream that the sweet server piled on top of the scoops. The ambiance is classic and retro. And while the server warned me that the authentic juke box can be temperamental, it took my coin and gave me "Moon River" in return. All in all, a perfect ice cream parlor experience. Wish we had something like this in Nashville.

  • Ha N.

    Cream soda was delicious (after I asked for it to be less sweet). The staff was very accommodating when my girlfriend and I told them that we don't really do very sweet things. The cashier offered to make us another one if it was still too sweet, but that wasn't necessary. It was one of the best sodas I've had. The ice cream itself was really, really sweet, though. I'm not used to that. But I balanced the nice coffee ice cream's bitter notes with the nuttiness of the almond ice cream. I recommend it for anyone coming into Savannah and that combo exactly for people who can't do much sweet stuff. My friends who were into desserts seemed to like it a lot better than I did.

    Some of the best ice cream that I have ever eaten anywhere, including Gelato in Italy and ice cream in Mexico! Our walking tour guide told us that Leopold's was recently ranked #4 in the U.S. for the outstanding house-made ice cream that they serve. I had a flavor called Savannah Smiles, and boy, did it make me smile. My mouth almost had a Big O! It was lemony and custardy with bits of some sort of cookie in it. WOW-O-WOW!

    Leopold's Ice Cream was recommended to us by the owners of the bed and breakfast we stayed in. When we couldn't take the heat a moment longer, that's exactly where we headed. The line was long and we had to wait for a seat to open up, but the ice cream made it worth the wait. My husband loved his double chocolate. I had the Chocolate Raspberry Swirl and it was divine. The various movie posters and props were really neat to look at. However, I probably wouldn't go for anything other than their ice cream. Cute moment of the day: I saw a couple sitting outside with a little dog on a leash. One of the employees took a small cup of vanilla ice cream with a little milk bone sticking out of the top to the dog. Too sweet!

    Simply amazing! My wife and I are suckers for good ice cream and Leopold's certainly didn't disappoint. Waited in line for about five minutes and ordered a scoop of the frozen hot cocoa (a seasonal flavor), and the butter pecan. My wife had a scoop of the cinnamon (also a seasonal flavor) and the honey almond creme. Everything was delicious. Great ice cream for a very affordable price. And the Hollywood memorabilia is cool to check out as you sit and eat.

    You can't miss the bright neon SCAD marquee on Broughton, and Leopold's is right next door. Definitely worth stopping in, especially during the warmer months. Honey Almond and Rose Petal are my top choices. And where else can you try Guinness flavored ice cream (seasonally, like the Rose Petal, Thin Mint, and a few others)? The ice cream is just really good and worth the slightly higher price than crappy soft-serve at places a few blocks down. Four stars because the sundaes are just eh. Still, this is a tradition for us every time we're in town.

    I can only imagine how crazy this place must get in the summer but in late November, there was hardly a line when we took a break from a walking tour around the historic district of Savannah. Had a double scoop of the honey almond and the seasonal egg nog. Nice creamy texture and the egg nog was especially good. The ice cream is made in-house and I can see why it would be a popular destination. But of course, the history of the place adds even more charm having been established first in 1918 and being owned by the Leopold family (you can see a lot of the movie parephenalia that Stratton Leopold produced (including MI:3, General's Daughter, Sum of All Fears). Tutti frutti is their most famous flavor (the favorite of Oscar winning lyricist Johnny Mercer who was a frequent patron). The quality is good but the flavors are generally pretty standard.

    Not only was the lemon custard totally worth the wait, but they had an employee pouring ice water for the people in line! On a hot day, that really makes the line seem not so bad. This place was terrific!

  • Stacey T.

    We'd heard great things about Leopold's so we figured it was worth a stop. My husband got a vanilla malt shake, I got a single scoop of mocha chocolate chip ice cream (they make all the ice cream flavors in-house), and it was delicious. Perfect treat to beat the humidity (even in February)! If I were a local, I don't see how I could stay away from Leopold's on a regular basis! We got there sometime after lunch, there was no line, but as soon as we sat down with our ice cream, a tour bus let off and there was a line of senior citizens out the door. It's definitely worth the wait, regardless.

    (5)
  • Scott B.

    Busy place! Great milkshake and lots of movie memrobilia to check out. Too many flavors to choose from...but you can get samples! The line can get long but it moves at a good pace.

  • Kelsey H.

    When we asked our pedi cab driver where to get some dessert one evening he suggested Leopold's and it is clearly a place to visit at least once. The shop has a cool history and I love the way that some of the history has been maintained through its appearance. There are a lot of artifacts from different movie sets around the shop (the owner is a producer) so it is a fun place to look around while you eat. The ice cream was good and I wish we had tried some of the cakes they had displayed on the counter. Overall the ice cream was really good but it also didn't wow me to the point that I have craved it since being home. If you are visiting Savannah for the first time, though, it is worth a trip.

  • Wendell B.

    Delicious shrimp salad with a touch of dill. Super friendly staff all around. Double scoop of two dark chocolate flavors, especially chocolate raspberry, to die for if you're a chocoholic like me. Do taste/order the rose--really light and refreshing. Love the ice water pitchers on the counter. Don't miss Leopold's!

    (5)
  • Monkee C.

    Had a single scoop butter pecan in a waffle cone (3.50 plus 1.20 for the waffle cone)...totally worth it after walking around all morning in the Savannah heat. Pretty big for a single scoop...see photo. They sell sandwiches and such too, which looked good, but seemed like the wait for those was really long - one woman waited over 45 min for a shrimp salad sandwich and never got it and asked for a refund. So, review is for ice cream only. Yum. Cool interior decor too, think old school ice cream shop plus movie memorabilia, guess the owner is a big shot Hollywood producer.

    A great little ice cream shop in Savannah. I tried a couple of the flavors which were great, but just couldn't pass up a chocolate malt. What I got was a huge cup full plus another little bit on the side. Way too much ice cream but of course I ate it all! Wife go a two scoop cone which was great as well.

  • Jessica P.

    After watching a colleague just about skip down the street at the prospect of ice cream from Leopold's, I had to try it. The ice cream was good, though there's one ice cream place near my home that I like just a bit better.

    You can't go wrong when the place has a line out the door! Luckily the wait wasn't as long as the line, and the ice-cream is to die for! This place was recommended by friends in Atlanta as well as various tour guides we spoke with. A great place to rest and refresh after walking around the historic district all day!

    My husband and I were in Savannah for the Savannah Book Festival and were waiting for the closing ceremony where Stephen King was to speak. We stopped in for lunch and I enjoyed the chicken salad on rye with the pasta salad. and my husband had the shrimp salad sandwich. The staff were some of the friendliest we have ever encountered. We ended our visit with a double dip of the most delicious ice cream I have ever tasted. I recommend the Caramel and Peanut Butter Chip. Yum Yum. Leopold's will be a definite stop for us on our next trip to Savannah.

    (5)
  • Douglas S.

    Great ice cream and service. The products are extremely smooth and delicious. All flavors are not available all of the time so you have to deal with what they have when you go. I had a hard time picking a flavor because I like caramel and peanut butter, but for those that don't care about those two items there are a lot of options.

    (4)
  • Charles M.

    Great ice cream. This ice cream parlor is owned by Stratton Leopold, Executive Producer of Baron Munchausen and several other films. In fact, Stratton even scoops the ice cream. This place has great service. We sat outside to eat our ice cream, and when we finished, a lady came to our table to ask if we enjoyed our ice cream. Not sure if this was Stratton's wife or another co-owner, but she was definitely wanting to make sure that we enjoyed ourselves here. I have not been to many ice cream parlors with that level of service and concern for my pleasure. Keep in mind... I visit lots of ice cream parlors because it is my favorite food. If you like ice cream, try this place.

    YUM. YUM. YUM. Peanut butter chippy is like a peanut butter cookie in ice cream form. The staff will let you sample any flavor to help you make up your mind. On a Wednesday evening, Leopold's was lined up out the door. We got there at a "lull" (the line was only just past the counter). If you love ice cream, this is a must visit in Savannah.

    Wow! Our sister-in-law told us to try this place when we visit Savannah. And it was really good ice cream. We tried the Rum Bisque, the Honey Almond one, the Tutti Frutti, and the Pistachio. All were very yummy. The Tutti Frutti was kinda like fruitcake in ice cream form. I enjoyed it! I also love Rum ice creams and the Rum Bisque was awesome with chunks of hazelnut macaroons. Definitely great ice cream. A little pricey, but get a double scoop and split it (instead of a $3.50 single scoop).

    (5)
  • Michele L.

    We loved this fun Ice Cream shop. I had the Thin Mint Sundae and it was so yummy and sweet. Watch out if you do not like really sweet ice cream. We also went back again and I had the mint chocolate chip ice cream with shot of espresso. My two favorite things.... The people behind the counter were just as nice as their ice cream. :)

  • Christie K.

    Very kitschy and old timey ice cream store~ The ice cream is better than your average pint from the grocery store, but definitely not the 'best ice cream ever.' I would come here if it's your first time in Savannah, but it's nothing I'd rave abut.

    (3)
  • Frida Y.

    Had their ice cream several times, and just love them every time. Other than ice cream, the film related props in the store are also very interesting. For tourists visiting Savannah, this place is definitely worth visiting.

    Great place! Went with our group of 13 right at 12:45 for lunch got sandwiches and savannah Dan milkshakes (not on the menu but if you love chocolate order it). The pimento sandwich is delicious and the olive and cream cheese is my fav. Skip the bagged chips and get the fabulous homemade pasta salad! This place is cool the food is cooler and the people are friendly and helpful. Enjoy!

  • Kaitlyn H.

    Good ice cream, great atmosphere and excellent service. The location is great and they have more than sufficient space to have a seat and enjoy a scoop or two. The decor is great (you have to see it to believe it) and I've never been greeted without a smile. Can't beat it anywhere in town, that's for sure.

    It's 40 degrees and the line is out the door! Best ice cream I have ever tasted. No funky colors. Just good, all natural favors. We tried 3 different favors (banana, caramel swirl and mint chocolate chip). Hands down banana was the best. Nothing artificial in that flavor. Worth the wait to get in the front door.

    Leopold's is the best place to get desert in town! With indoor or outdoor seating in case you are traveling with the four paws kind. Service was fast, however they need to get bigger glasses to serve the ice cream scoops. We had a two scoop sundae chocolate and vanilla, but it wouldn't stay upright in the small glassware used. Not the end of the world but we did pour it out onto the plate below, to eat. This is really good ice cream, not the best I have ever tasted but close. Wherever you eat dinner in town, do yourself a favor and get desert at Leopold's, you won't be disappointed.

    Went for ice cream. Ordered: - cup of coffee: okay, kind of heavy - a taste of the rum bisque: it was interesting, but I don't think I would've been able to stomach an entire full order of it - a child's serving of chocolate chip: freaking delicious They have sandwiches and other light foods available, as well as cakes and sweet things like that. Good service.

    Very cool place to visit and go to after the Ghost Walk Ghost Talk tour. I love going to little places family owned businesses like this and seeing a part of the rich history of a town. Scout patches available, too. Very good ice cream and very friendly service.

  • Justin C.

    You come to a point where you think all premium ice cream is the same, yet this place is a cut above. I had the chocolate chocolate chip, and it was very smooth. The service was friendly, despite how busy it was, and that is always a plus in a place like this.

    (4)
  • Andrew F.

    To date I have been to Leopolds a dozen times or so and it has always been good. The ice cream is decent (I liken it to a fresh Ben & Jerry's), the service is always very friendly and the building is one of the nicest in Savannah. The downside however is the prices are a bit high for ice cream (EG: the $5.75 16oz milkshake).

  • Sherry W.

    Leopold's Ice Cream is an old-school diner-esque ice cream parlor that sells solid ice cream, with some modern twists on the flavor. The walls are heavily decorated with memorabilia, old photographs, and there's a old school jukebox as well. Most people that I saw got either an ice cream cone, ice cream in a cup, or a sundae. There were a good amount of people on a Saturday afternoon, but service is fast and friendly. I tried the sweet chewies and cream (i think thats what it was called) in a cone. It's hard to describe: sweet vanilla with chunks of chocolate/nutty chewy things inside. I really liked it. Person I was with got a scoop each of chocolate and vanilla in a cone. It's a little pricey for ice cream, but worth it for the quality and the atmosphere.

    (4)
  • Megan R.

    I agree with Janene - could have been better. Rather expensive for ice cream - a banana split for $7.50. Great presentation - glass dishes, great service, but ice cream was only okay, nothing special.

  • L C.

    Leopold's is home to some of the best ice cream I have EVER tasted. It's truly a historical place-- it's been around forever and I can see why. The girl who served us cracked us up with her ice cream commentary and gladly let us taste multiple flavors. A homemade waffle cone with two scoops is about a foot and a half high, and those firm scoops don't budge or drip prematurely. I could have been dainty and opted for one scoop, but I'm pretty sure I won't be back at Leopold's anytime soon, so I went for a scoop of the ethereal looking pistachio (thankfully not emerald colored, the sign a true winner may be nigh) and a scoop of the chocolate chocolate chip. I also sampled the cake batter and a peanut butter flavor (chip maybe? I can't remember). This place is for serious ice cream lovers. Get this: she actually asked me if there was a flavor I preferred to eat first. (This is a request I have put in at multiple ice creameries; sometimes you just want to save the best for last-- but I have never been ASKED! Finally, someone who understands!) I attacked the choc-choc chip first, which was a rich chocolate base studded with chunks of chocolate. On the bottom was that beautiful, nutty pistachio. I ate every last morsel of that cone. The ice cream was of a perfect consistency, dense, hard packed, no crunchy ice crystals. Cake batter was also excellent, with chunks of yellow cake, and the peanut butter........ Best ice cream eating experience in a long, long time.

  • Kiyoshi K.

    I make a point to visit this place every time I am downtown. They have amazing ice cream! I recommend trying the floral flavors but don't get a huge portion, one can only handle so much Rose or Lavender flavored ice cream. I always get the seasonal flavors but my wife absolutely loves the pistachio. I definitely recommend checking this place out and getting something different. Only downside is that its always busy! They have plenty of employees though.

    A Savannah tradition, Leopold's has an endearing history. Founded by Greek brothers and kept in business since 1919, the ice cream is home made they way you expect. The shop is and old fashion soda shop and boasts a large selection of flavors. They have traditional flavors and some delicious local flavors. I had a cone of Savannah honey and almond that was amazingly creamy. The family and ice-cream story is printed on display at every table, it's worth checking out. Johnny Mercer, who grew up around the corner from Leopold's, even wrote the song "Tutti-Fruitti" about his favorite ice cream flavor at the shop. Full of history and sweet treats, Leopold's was well worth the trip.

    Problem: Another hot and humid day in Savannah. Solution: Leopold's Ice Cream! When I walked in at first, I did not know that Leopold's ice cream is owned by Stratton Leopold. So I was constantly thinking, "What does Mission Impossible 3 have to do with ice cream?" Apparently, not much, but I enjoyed the decor of the place - "Lights On/Off" sign at the bathroom to denote occupancy, etc. (Yeah, kind of cheesy, but sort of cute, don't you think?) The employees were very friendly and did not hesitate in giving me samples of the flavors. I ended up going with Tutti Frutti, which I was told to be one of their most popular flavor. It was very sweet and creamy; definitely something I've never had before. If you are in mood for fruity ice cream, then this would be a good choice. One advice for future go-ers would be to Never order double scoops - unless you are sharing. I ordered the Double Scoop, thinking that I could handle it, but failed miserably!

  • Lissete D.

    We walked by, then turned around and walked in. Can't pass up on ice cream! I didn't even stop and Yelp them first, so I was unaware of their reputation. My husband and I split a banana split. :-) The ice cream was good and the toppings were fresh. Service was friendly and quick. The place is clean and cute with plenty of tables inside and a few outside. I will not say that it's the most amazing ice cream on the planet, but it was very good. We will return.

  • Karen T.

    We came on a rainy weekday evening and there was still a line out the door. We tried the pistachio and honey almond. I liked that the pistachio ice cream was flavored with real pistachios and not with green dye that a lot of shops tend to use. They were both light and delicious. More so because we had to wait so long to get it...

    (4)
  • Brooks M.

    This is such a neat place to sit outside and people watch while enjoying some fantastic ice cream. On a nice day, this place is sure to be packed, but the line moves quickly and the employees are efficient and very friendly. There are so many original flavors to choose from, and every time I think of this place, I realize how much I need to go back and try some more. And, needless to say, the ice cream is fantastic. Why go to a chain?

    (5)
  • Becca R.

    Great ice cream parlor! Not being a local, I wasn't aware of Leopold's esteemed status in the community, but the line out the door was a good indication of how good it was. The line moved quickly and there was ample indoor seating to enjoy your ice cream. I got the Girl Scouts Thin Mint ice cream and it had huge chunks of Thin Mints in it! Mmmmmmm Neat decor too. Lots of really random movie posters. And shout out to the Troop Beverly Hills reel on the wall!

    On our last day in Savannah we were looking for a place to get a latte before hitting the road for the airport... and we happened to walk by Leopold's. It was on my list of places to visit but each time we were in the area, there was a line down the street. Seems Sunday around noon is the time to hit up this place. I'm so glad we stopped. What a delightful place. I got a taste of the Lavender ice cream just because I've never tried it... but ended up getting a scoop of the Honey Almond Creme ice cream made with Savannah Bee Company honey. So amazing. You can just *taste* the homemade love in this place. Oh, and skip the lattes - they left much to be desired. But who remembers that when you're in ice cream heaven?

    The ice cream truly is wonderful. Try the lavender ice cream for a real treat. But the lines can be quite, quite long. Somewhere between excellent ice cream and a tourist trap. But if you want sweets in Savannah, this is definitely the place to go. It's the long lines most of the day that make me take it from 5 to 4.

  • Samantha P.

    This place was darn good! I got the peanut butter ice cream in a waffle cone (one scoop). It was fantastic and the serving was good. The line was about 8 people deep when we arrived at about 3:00 pm. The line was quick because there were plenty of employees. It should be noted that I drove by again at about 9 pm and the line was out the door and around the corner! Just be prepared to wait for awhile if you go at peek hours. I would say it would be worth the wait but I'm glad I didn't wait long.

  • Happiness L.

    Almost everything about this place is wonderful. We decided to get lunch here as well as ice cream so we wouldn't need to go to two places. Yum. We tried both the club as well as the cheese sandwiches. The club was so good, fresh, big, and filling. The cheese...maybe it is supposed to be cold? I expected melted cheese so for me it was just ok. **Suggestion to management ** For single scoops please let a person have two flavors. This is customer friendly as most people are visiting and want to enjoy more than one kind. You make a lot of money and giving two flavors rather than one is a courtesy that should be extended. Same size...two flavors. The size is big enough to accommodate this. The two scoop size is too big for most. Thank you.

    We have visited Savannah several times over the years and the one constant is that we always go to Leopold's for ice cream, including a recent evening when the weather was quite chilly, The ice cream is home made, always delicious, and the portions are very generous. Leopold's has that "old ice cream parlor" look and feel. Great ice cream, great atmosphere, friendly service. If you go to Savannah, go to Leopold's, you won't be sorry

    Wow, this is ice cream I remember as a kid. Love the old style soda fountain. They were so helpful and friendly here. We tried a couple of flavors before deciding on what pleased our taste buds. This hit the spot and more and we skipped out on dinner opting for a snack later after enjoying this ice-cream which the portions are great. Loved it, we'll be back our next trip to Savannah.

    Ice Cream heaven. The line was a little long, but so well worth the wait . I would have missed out on the best ice cream i ever had if passed this treasure up. My husband I had sandwiches and two ice creams. I had banana which had the perfect size of banana chunks and husband had the best peanut butter ice cream in the world. We married both flavors and it was delectable. Please add this to your bucket list if ever visiting Savannah!

  • Krista C.

    Being an ice cream expert, I give this place a 4 star review. It was busy, they had menus for everyone to look over the flavors. I ended up with a double scoop of chocolate chip ice cream in a waffle cone- it was good. Boyfriend got a single scoop of rum raisin (originally asked for guiness flavored and honey almond, but they were out of both). He was a big fan of the rum raisin.

  • Sam F.

    Got scared when I ordered banana split and noticed that NONE of the workers wear gloves while working. She cut a banana in half and peeled the skin off with her bare hands while having the banana on top of the ice cream. I couldn't believe my eyes, so I questioned her. One worker argued that though not wearing gloves, she was TRYING not to touch the banana while peeling the skin off each piece. I insisted to make me a new one with gloves on which she did. I hope Leopold's manger will conduct a thorough training on sanitation. And please, please remember not to talk on top of the ice cream while working on it. Just think the saliva spread on to the ice cream you are about to hand to the customer.

    Making our way back one evening (after walking ALL day) to our room at the Marshall House half a block away, I convinced everyone to go with me to Leopold's only because I was in the mood for ice cream. Even the long lines didn't deter us since my craving was that strong. But it was fine since the line moved really quickly due to the staff's hard work and excellent organization. While in line, a very friendly employee came out to entertain the customers and offer menus so that we could choose our flavor (from a huge list). They marked out the few they had run out of, which was a nice touch. Another nice touch was the owner coming out to greet and chat with customers. He thanked me humbly when I told him the Yelp reviews were glowing :) Ice cream is delicious and the flavor choices, as I said, were numerous. The staff are also among the friendliest I've ever seen, and the scoop size is quite generous. They also offer a child's size portion, for which this mom of a toddler is grateful. I only wish I knew about the awesome-looking lunch menu when we arrived, since the restaurant to which planned to go was unexpectedly closed. We'll definitely try that the next time we're in Savannah.

    Alright so I'm not a die hard Ice Cream fan, but I can respect a creamy delicious cone from time to time... But my god what do they put in this stuff? I swear this ice cream is what every other ice cream on the planet strives to become. The changing flavor list alone is amazing. Guinness Ice Cream, An amazing Coconut ,and a little creamy drop of heaven called Rum Bisque. If you want ice cream this is where you want to go... Don't be afraid of the line it moves fast, and trust me it's there for a reason!

    It's the Labor Day weekend and after battling a long queue we finally made it to be a part of history in our own way. Leopold, the ice cream heaven of Savannah, GA. Being there in night has its charm, the glowing neon sign next to the SCAD theater adds to the glamour and mystery of the place. And then while we waited outside the door for our turn in a queue, they had one of the waitress serve us chilled water to quench our thirst. Your dig into what will turn out to be a great experience starts then and there itself. Waiting, glancing through the flavor list, you will see that the flavors are not too vivid compared to some bespoke ice cream joints who offer crazy flavor combinations. But then what sets Leopold apart from others is the great taste and texture. The quantity of a single scoop is just so right, and the price - quite reasonable for the awesome ice cream they make. I got my Sunday totally customized right from the flavors to toppings. It was great. One of the best ice creams ever! It has a nice vibrant feel to it and do stay back to have your ice cream while you enjoy the memorabilia, old photos of the founder brothers and movie posters. I am coming back for sure. Please excuse typos. Reviewed over mobile.

    Leopold's is a cute place, and the ice cream is definitely unique, but I just felt so rushed here. I really wanted to try some more flavors to make sure I got exactly what I wanted (because, at $4+ for two scoops, you really want to be sure) and I just couldn't enjoy that experience. There was a huge line behind us and I just felt rushed. We ended up getting two flavors which were just fine. I'm glad I went, but I probably won't be back just because of the inability for them to manage their lines!

    I'm only moderately embarrassed to say that I came here twice on my recent trip to Savannah. The first time, I tried the Savannah Smiles ice cream, which combines their lemon custard with some local cookies of some sort, and the second time, I had the rose petal ice cream. Honestly, I think the rose petal was some of the most interesting and tasty ice cream I've tasted in my life (and baby, I'm a connoisseur!). The cream totally brought out the rose flavor, mingling with it at the end to produce a really nice mouth feel. I was sad when I saw the bottom of my dish. It's consistently busy here, but you can usually find a table somewhere, and the staff are good-humored and obviously practiced at dealing with the tourist crowd. There are film posters all around the walls--someone later told me that the owner is a producer, and the posters are of films he has produced. Not sure if that's true or just a good story, but it added to the ambiance! Delightful. If I lived in Savannah I don't know if I would come here for a full meal, but I would definitely come here for dessert.

    Leopold's is that perfect tourist stop. It has exactly what you want after a long day of touristy stuff. ICE CREAM. It has that Ice Cream Parlor charm, a lot of choices of Ice Cream, and as an additional bonus it has, via Stratton Leopold, props from several Hollywood movies produced by the owner Stratton himself. I highly recommend stopping in, it lives up to its long time popularity.

    A must try! A cute ice cream parlor that serves food as well. Customer service is very good. The line was out the door and a worker handed out cups and poured everyone water (I'm from Philadelphia and this will never happen up here lol.) I got the pistachio ice cream in a waffle cone and I was amazes that I saw actual pistachio chunks in it! You can do a single or double scoop l, I got the single in a waffle cone and it was a very decent amount. If you decide to get a double, a cup would be the smarter option due to the Georgia heat.

    As far as ice cream goes it was very good- the long line moved quickly enough and the employees worked incredibly fast. Leopold's was a good experience and the banana split I had was delicious...don't know that I'd go through the hassle of getting it again though. Based on the line when we left, it looks like 730 might be the best time to go.

    Coconut ice cream to go in a pint? yes plz? love the place and always will. That old timely kinda feel with a fountain and a mix of ice creams and sandwiches to choose from. This place is usually always packed for its popularity.. but what can I say.. its completely worth it. Given if its families, Scad students, oldies... you'll always find a mix of people here smiling and enjoying whatever they're eating. Plus the seating is pretty nice too.

    Excellent ice cream and creative flavors. It is VERY busy which puts some pressure on you in deciding your flavor choice but the staff is patient, efficient and very courteous. We went out of our way to find Leopold's and try the ice cream. We were so very glad that we did. This will be a regular stop for us whenever we visit Savannah.

    Leopold's has been in Savannah since 1919. The Leopold's were family friends with Johnny Mercer and the song "Tutti Frutti" was named for one of the ice cream flavors at Leopold's. Stratton Leopold is a movie producer and on the walls you'll seen movie posters of all the movies he has worked on! The vanilla and the coffee ice creams are my favorites!

  • Justin K.

    This shop is a nice retro-restored ice cream parlor, owned by a Hollywood movie producer who decorates the walls with posters from his films. You may remember him from such cinematic classics as "The General's Daughter" or "Paycheck." His movies may have sucked , but his ice cream is pretty good, if a bit over-priced.

    I strive to find Ice Cream as good as Whitey's Ice Cream in Davenport, IA. Leopold's Ice cream is as close as you can get. The ice cream is wonderfully creamy with almost no ice crystals in the scoop of heaven loving placed on a sugar cone. A big plus for me, while I LOVE sweets, they do not love me, so Leopold's has a child's cone which gives me just enough ice cream to enjoy without wishing I were dead after eating too much! I am a HUGE fan of the Rose Petal, Lavender, Pumpkin and Peppermint ice cream! The only reason I give them a 4 and not a 5 is price. Granted I firmly believe you get what you pay for but it is the price that keeps me from coming here on a weekly basis, well that and trying to find a parking space :)

  • TJ M.

    Been there several times - It's a cute place with lots of history and great for kids. Ice Cream is just average though nothing out of the ordinary but it's good. My "Cafe Leopold" was pretty nasty though (coffee WAY too strong and when served to me it was almost completely melted) - everything else I've had there has been pretty good though. It's also really pricey for Ice Cream.

  • Melissa C.

    OH man. We were in Savannah for two days and went to Leopold's both days. Both times, I got a double scoop in a sugar cone... mint chip and coffee, and then coconut and raspberry chocolate. The ice cream is obviously made on-site and fresh... it was extremely creamy and flavorful. We also got lunch one day... I chose the shrimp salad sandwich because it seemed like that was popular. It was good. I wasn't blown away but it worked. The prices were a bit high for ice cream, but I'm willing to pay for quality. It was a great experience and I will definitely go back next time I'm in Savannah.

    Leopold's Ice Cream deserves its rave reviews. There is not a bad ice cream cone to be had at Leopold's and the lemonade may be the best in all of Georgia. Leopold's has all sorts of movie information on the wall and old posters of movies and it's nice to sit inside or outside and enjoy a Leopold's ice cream cone. It's right near the Savannah College of Art and Design and it's nice to take a stroll on E. Broughton Street around 10:00pm when the crowd has thinned out and you practically have the street to yourself. My fave is the coffee icecream but all the flavors are good. If you are lactose intolerant, be sure to load up on the lactaid pills you can buy at CVS.

    Amazing dessert experience at Leopold's! Carmel ice cream was incredible as was the milkshake. Skip dessert at dinner and stop here. Gustavo and his team were extremely friendly, offering a mini-tour and more. Hope to see one in NYC soon!

  • Sharon I.

    We went to Leopold's everyday for three days and I think their Mocha Chocolate Chip is without a doubt the best I have ever had. I realize that is a big statement, but it is really special. Interesting place, has been in business since 1919. Other interesting and delicious flavors I tasted were Rose Pedal and Lavender. Both were delicious, but Mocha Chocolate Chip is outstanding - extra creamy and rich! They also serve lunch.

  • tessa j.

    i agree with linda, below. why there are frequently huge lines is beyond me. we get people who come visit who must go to leopold's because they've heard so much about it. so we go, as we did last sunday. i got the peanut butter chip, hubbins got rum raisin. both of us were underwhelmed, as we always seem to be. service is sweet and attentive but, uh, the ice cream? middle of the road at best.

    A nice step back in time, with a cool refreshing treat. This place is packed in the middle of summer, so expect to wait in line for some ice cream or a shake.

    Made with the original 1900's marble counter from the Leopold's that was on the corner of Gwinnett and Habersham streets in 1919, Leopold's has great old time ice cream social appeal. A little touristy, but what isn't in downtown Savannah? Excellent chocolate milkshake.

  • MacGyver N.

    This ice cream place has a lot of history. Neat place to enjoy a treat. The chocolate raspberry swirl ice cream was delicious! Conveniently located on Broughton Street and Abercorn. On my 3 day trip to Savannah, I actually went here twice!! Servers there were nice but some didn't seem like they were too thrilled to be working too... service was mediocre overall but ambience and ice cream were good.

  • Pamela M.

    oh wow, just tell the girl behind the counter the kind of stuff you like and they will suggest something amazing for you. I got a orange float with cherry blossom ice cream, yummy!!! I want to come back to try more, but I'm afraid it will take me many visits, I'm jealous of the people who live in Savannah because they can go here every week....

  • Matthew H.

    What can I say. Great atmosphere, fantastic ice cream, excellent service. The ice cream is very rich and full of flavor. I'm mildly lactose intolerant (I know, what am I doing in an ice cream shop) so I get the child size- one scoop. Yum! That's plenty actually. Last time my niece and nephew were in town, we decided to fib to other family members that we hadn't been able to find parking in order to go back a second time. That time I had a malted milkshake, also yum! They supposedly sell food also (sandwiches and the like) but why waste calories on a sandwich when you can have their ice cream!

  • Jason L.

    I won't go on and on about the history of this place. Just go to their website and have a gander before visiting. We had been walking around downtown Savannah all day and were taking a break in Forsyth Park when I had a sudden urge for some ice cream (the nasty 92% humidity probably also played into this). It was a no brainer to head to this place since it was less than a mile away and had such nice reviews on Yelp. We arrived here around 1:30 on a weekday and the place wasn't too busy (although before we left a line had formed to the door). I got scoop of their banana ice cream in a sugar cone and also tasted the sig-o's butter pecan in a waffle cone. Both were very good. I can't say it is the best I have ever had but certainly worth trying if you are in Savannah. This place gets three stars for the ice cream and an extra star for the actual ice cream shop.

    (4)
  • Mike A.

    I love this place! They have some of the best butter pecan and pistachio ice cream I've ever had. It's an "old fashioned" ice cream shop with a lot of character. It's been busy most of the times I've stopped in, but the line seems to move fast. A "must have" place to stop when visiting Savannah.

    We went here last night after going to the Olde Pink House for dinner. My husband got the chocolate and I got banana. The banana was delicious with real chunks of banana. My husband said their chocolate is probably one of the best he's had!

  • Mike L.

    What a find! Both the bellman and concierge at The Mullberry recommended Leopold's. Great old ice cream shop. Best butter pecan cream ice cream I've ever tasted! Rest of the family enjoyed theirs too (mint chocolate chip, coffee chocolate chip, & mocha chocolate chip). Next time I want to try a malt!

  • Bryanne R.

    Ohhhhh so this is where my money is going to go. Ok. Delicious sandwiches. Delicious ice cream (Girl Scout Thin Mint! Heaven). Excellent service and ice cream recommendations. Lots of cool movie set parts to check out too while you're indulging in deliciousness! You can't miss this place in Savannah.

    8 people behind the counter on a Saturday afternoon, no one else in line and if still took 5 mins to get service. $6.69 for a hot fudge sundae that was at best average. Way overpriced, way over rated. You're better off getting soft serve for a buck at McDonalds. Seriously. Avoid this place like the plague.

    Went to Leopold's on a Saturday evening in September. Parked on the street a few blocks away and walked up to a line that extended out the door. It was very humid and one of the girls that worked inside was outside at the line offering ice cold water and menus to anyone that wanted. The line moved very quickly and there were so many options once you got inside. I got a turkey and cheese sandwich and mint chocolate chip ice cream covered with chocolate fudge and whipped cream. Sandwich came with chips and was basic sandwich, but let's be honest, the ice cream is why you really come here. I can't remember what flavor my mom got, but we both agreed it was the best ice cream ever!!! The owner, Stratton Leopold happened to be in the restaurant taking pictures. He is a produce of some very famous movies, which happen to have posters up around the establishment. Such a very friendly guy. Loved this place. Almost stopped back here for a second time while in Savannah, but our trolley tour didn't get us close enough.

  • Rhonda A.

    Excellent ice cream, creamy and flavorful. I had the Caffe Leopold, which is a scoop of ice cream (I chose the caramel, which worked nicely) in a shot of espresso. It's pricey, but it was worth it. The atmosphere is kind of an odd mix of old-fashioned ice cream parlor and movie memorabilia. Great place for kids, but their high chairs are strangely short, leaving my toddler's head about even with the marble tabletop. That's not a huge problem, but I was surprised that an ice cream parlor would be an uncomfortable setup for kids, at least tiny ones.

  • Sarah H.

    This place is known for its ice cream, but don't write-off having lunch there, too. Chicken salad sandwich with curry was a tasty classic and the fresh squeezed lemonade was perfect for the humid day. Finished the meal with ice cream that did not disappoint.

    We tried the pumkin ice cream and a vanilla root beer float. Both were very good, but not really out of the ordinary. That being said, the atmosphere and decor set Leopold's apart. We would definitely visit again.

  • Amy H.

    We actually went in the first night for a sandwich and I have to say, it was one of the best blt's i have ever had and my mother in law's chicken salad was perfect! Not too creamy and seasoned just right. Prices on the sandwiches were reasonable esp in a tourist town. We went back the next day for dessert and the chocolate raspberry ice cream is officially the best ice cream i have ever eaten. The staff is friendly no matter how crazy it is and the place is very very clean. The movie memorabilia is pretty cool too! Would definitely recommend to everyone!!

  • David D.

    What a cool place. How can you not like a business that has roots going back to 1919? I guess this place is a Savannah landmark, and after a visit, I can see why. The place wreaks of history, and it sure is fun to look at all the pictures of the hollywood stars. I'm always hoping to come across a great gelato place, because I love that stuff, and enjoy it so much more than ice cream. But this stuff, was close to the next best thing. They obviously know how to make good ice cream. I had the chocolate cherry cordial. It was definitely a good choice.

    Tasty ice cream, really cute shop. When we went in, they had live music, which was definitely cool and not what we were expecting --- we just wanted some dessert! One thing to note, though, and this may have just been the particular day we went --- it was 9:30 PM and I think we brought down the average age of the customers by about a decade, so maybe this is the place for Savannah baby boomers to hang out at night? I don't know ...

    Line moves quickly. They bring you water in line. Ice cream is delicious! Pistacio and Honey Almond Cream especially. Ate there twice during a 4 day visit. Sad that they were out of their seasonal flavors since we wanted to try the rose petal cream. Will be back for sure! YUM.

    I came here a few weeks ago during a trip to Savannah. The place is set up nicely. Most of their sandwiches on the menu are average at best (something you can get at a typical deli). But, their ice cream is delicious! Come here when you are craving ice cream.

    Fantastic. There were 8 of us, we all ordered different items and were happy with our selections. I dock them one star for being stingy with the hot fudge in the hot fudge sundae. Great atmosphere. We were there around 5pm on a Wed in mid-June and it wasn't crowded - we were able to snag a table easily.

    Too yummy! I'm usually a gal that likes cake or brownies with ice cream but not one to do ice cream solo. Until I met Leopold's. This is ice cream plus! Amazing, fresh flavors with all sorts of goodies inside. There wasn't a flavor that I sampled that wasn't out of this world! A MUST! And worth the calories!!

    Cool retro ice cream shop. Service was friendly, coffee was very good, and there is a good variety of ice cream flavors. It was nice to see all the photos of stars posing in front of the shop, it makes for good memorabilia to look at. Prices are a bit high for ice cream, but you have to splurge a little.

  • Brad I.

    The real star here is the soda fountain. Their jerks make vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, or cherry sodas (pressured seltzer, syrup, and whipped cream) that are delicious, especially if you add a scoop of ice cream. The ice cream itself is also quite good--their chocolate-based ones aren't too sweet, the egg nog actually tastes like egg nog, and the blue "sugar plum fairy" flavor almost tastes like cake batter (but isn't quite as good as the cake flavor at the behemoth that is Cold Stone). Their sandwiches are about what you'd expect for a $5--not great, but a good preface before dessert. Besides the sodas, what makes Leopold's most unique is the current owner, movie producer Stratton Leopold. He was in the store one time I went in, and had plenty to say about making movies and ice cream--right now he's worried about his cream suppliers and a possible actor's strike this year. Posters of all the movies he made (some good, many forgettable), line the walls as you walk in.

    This ice cream was wonderful and perfect for escaping the hot, humid Savannah weather. The frst time we were there I ordered a double scoop of lemon custard and huckleberry cheesecake and my girlfriend got the chocolate and coffee, all on sugar cones of course. The lemon custard was delicious but I did not love the cheesecake, although my girlfriend did. Hers was fabulous! The coffee was really strong and flavorful and the chocolate was dark and creamy, definitely a perfect combination. The next time we went we just split a scoop of the Tutti Frutti, because you have to order that at least once. I was surprised at how great it was and would definitely get it again the next time I go. It was like spumoni on steroids. I don't think I would have been inspired enough to write a song about it, but hey, I'm glad someone did! Overall, this ice cream shop is really charming and very old-school ice cream parlor. My only regret is not getting a banana split there, because it looked like the best one in the world. Any place that has lemon custard/chiffon ice cream is high up in my book and this one definitely lived up to my standards!

    Leopolds was recommended to us by the hotel and the tour book so we figured we would give it a shot. It had quite the reputation to live up to, especially since it took us 20 minutes to find a place to park. The employees are friendly and helpful. I have to echo other reviewers to never order a double scoop unless you haven't even for days or want to share with several. I got lemon custard and chocolate chocolate chip. They were delicious. The ice cream was creamy, the flavors were solid. The worst part was when my last bite of ice cream was all ice. I got a huge chocolate covered ice chip, so not good. Another fault it has in my book is that it isn't Handels Ice Cream (from Canton, OH) voted by national geographic as one of the 10 best in the world and oh is it. But Leopolds was still fun, especially with all of the film memorabilia and photos of the owners with celebs. He actually happened to be there the night we went and was also very nice.
