Cobb County doesn’t do boring ice cream. Around here, you’ll find scoop shops serving flavors like cotton candy twist, frosted animal cracker, and the viral Dubai chocolate strawberry.
Some are dairy-free. Some are plant-based. All of them have serious personality.
If you’re on the hunt for a sweet treat that’s anything but ordinary, these six local ice cream spots are absolutely worth checking out, even if there’s a bit of a line.
Bruster’s Real Ice Cream
Bruster’s is a neighborhood favorite, and it’s easy to see why. They make their ice cream fresh every single day, right there in the shop. There are always 24 flavors to choose from, but the full list runs over 150.
You’ve gotta try the Southern Banana Puddin if it's available. The waffle cones are handmade, the milkshakes are thick, and the sundaes are fully loaded. This place is all about classic comfort with quality ingredients.
Frozen Cow Creamery
Frozen Cow Creamery is where things get fun and experimental. They make each scoop to order with liquid nitrogen, which is wild to watch. Their flavors are super creative, like Key Lime Cheesecake with real cheesecake chunks or their fan-favorite Triple Berry.
Not sure what to get? Try one of their "Cow Classics" or ask the staff—they’re always happy to help. The ice cream is crazy smooth and the mix-in combos are endless. It’s part dessert, part show.
Scoops Acworth
Scoops is pure sugar rush in the best way. They’ve got 32 flavors of ice cream, plus handmade chocolates, caramel apples, and a wall of nostalgic candy. It’s basically a candy shop and ice cream parlor rolled into one.
Popular flavors like Superman, Pistachio, and Cotton Candy Twist are especially great if you’ve got kids in tow or a major sweet tooth. Grab a scoop, explore the shop, and maybe leave with a few retro candies too. It’s the kind of place you go back to just for the vibe.
Jeremiah’s Italian Ice
If you want something lighter but still full of flavor, Jeremiah’s is the move. They serve Italian Ice, soft ice cream, and their signature Gelati is basically a delicious layering of both. You can sample flavors before choosing, which honestly just makes it harder to pick.
From mango to cookies and cream to frosted animal cracker, their flavor lineup is huge. You can also build your own combo or try one of their fan-favorite "Flavorites." It’s refreshing, fun, and surprisingly addicting.
The Baked Bear
This place is all about over-the-top ice cream sandwiches. You start by picking your cookies or brownies then your ice cream, and they’ll press it hot if you want. You can mix and match everything, so it’s totally custom.
One of the best combos? Gooey Butter Cookie and Cookie Monster with Mud Pie ice cream. Or switch it up with Nutella cookies and vanilla ice cream. The portion is huge, so come hungry or plan to split. Either way, it’s a messy, sugary masterpiece.
Kwality Ice Creams
Kwality brings something different to the table with eggless, vegetarian ice creams packed with bold flavor. Their Indian-inspired options like Mango, Malai Kulfi, and Rose are super rich and aromatic. Plus, their viral Dubai Chocolate Strawberry is a must-try for a reason (it’s seriously next-level).
Everything is small-batch, naturally flavored, and made without preservatives. It’s a great place to try something totally new. And yes, they’ve got classics too, so you won’t feel lost if you’re just dipping your toe into these flavors.
Plan Your Own Ice Cream Adventure
There’s no shortage of great ice cream in Cobb, but these six spots really stand out. Each one brings something different to the table, from nostalgic scoops to bold, unexpected flavors.
If you haven’t tried them yet, now’s the time to map out your own little ice cream tour. Bring a friend, try something weird, and don’t skip the waffle cone. You’ll probably find a new favorite and maybe even a new craving.
