Expert notes

  • Visitors should stop by Leopold's for its delicious ice cream, but also for the ambiance. The shop is decorated with classic ice cream parlor décor, and visitors can enjoy their treats while sitting at one of the vintage soda fountain booths. Don't forget to look at the walls, where you'll see plenty of historical photographs and memorabilia. Leopold's has received numerous awards over the years, including being named one of the top ice cream shops in the United States. Check the daily specials board for unique flavors that aren't always on the regular menu. If you have a large group, consider ordering one of Leopold's famous banana splits to share. Try their famous Tutti Frutti flavor (invented here!), which was a favorite of Johnny Mercer, a famous Savannah-born songwriter. Visitors can also take home a souvenir by purchasing one of Leopold's t-shirts or hats.
