- EaterJuly 30, 2012Morelli’s can’t be beat for ice cream in the city. Salted caramel is an absolute must, but try any of the restaurant’s unique flavors or one of their new ice cream cakes. [Eater 38 Member]
Creative Loafing AtlantaApril 25, 2013The salted caramel ice cream blends sweet, luscious caramel & the pop of salt into a creamy, frozen silky state. It's one of the best 100 Dishes in Atlanta that will crack your sweet tooth. Beware. Read more
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍November 1, 2015I've been going to Morelli's 7times in a week aka daily!! Heavenly icecreams! Every time I go there're new flavours! Full of flavour and fresh. It's always lovely to sit outside- Djaniella D.September 6, 2016I'm not even a huge fan of salted caramel, but that suddenly changed once I tried theirs. It's incredibly creamy & none of the flavors are too overbearing.
Their ice cream birthday cakes are ridiculously good. I had a chocolate cake with peanut butter chocolate chip ice cream on one side and banana cream pie on the other. I drool just thinking about it.
Vivian WenJune 14, 2016Love morelli's. This location has a lot of seating inside and out and lots of flavor options. Usually there is a short line but service is quick
NayAugust 14, 2014Every time I want to try something else, I always resort to the salted caramel...that says it all. I'm sure the other flavors are good though :-)
Candy Jar ice cream. Peppermint ice cream with marshmallows and pop rocks. Don't knock it til'you've tried it. It's delicious. An explosion of flavor in your mouth.
Talia DayAugust 12, 2014The vegan chocolate ice cream is insane. I also like the milkshakes and they have the extra thick straws for easy delivery from cup to mouth.
DailyCandyApril 9, 2013You dream of peanut butter swirled with licorice and marshmallows. Luckily, Morelli’s Gourmet Ice Cream fields customer suggestions and then whips up new flavors each month.
Sam LackOctober 27, 2018Some of the best, creamiest ice cream I’ve ever had. Loved the pumpkin pie and the strawberry shortcake. Fun, rotating flavors!- Creative Loafing AtlantaOctober 13, 2010CL Best of Atlanta 2010 winner: Best ice cream flavor. The salted caramel ice cream proves that with the right balance of creamy sweetness, salt can ramp up a flavor and make it highly addictive Read more
Max SterlingJuly 26, 2013Delicious! The salted caramel is fantastic and the Krispy Kreme tastes just like Krispy Kremes! Though I suppose that is the point...
Village SmoothieSeptember 6, 2012I love love love the peanut butter chocolate and any other that has a peanut butter chocolate mix! Amazing ice cream! Amazing!- Creative Loafing AtlantaAugust 5, 2014Teeth, though, are not even necessary for what must be Morelli's greatest creation — its salted caramel ice cream. Read more
Tracey SolomonAugust 3, 2015Love the salted caramel and cookies and cream. If you want to go for dessert go here- Creative Loafing AtlantaDecember 17, 2014A scoop of this frosty treat blends sweet, luscious caramel and a sharp pop of salt into a creamy, frozen silky state. Read more
GPNAFebruary 26, 2013Buy a quart of salted caramel. You'll keep coming back for it and the quart will save you money and gas. Single scoop/$3. Quart/$10. You do the math - no brainer here!- Waffle cones are made fresh and are very yummy. Any flavor of gelato has been awesome, especially the chocolate hazelnut and the pistachio.
OMG!!!! Don't leave without trying the salty caramel ice cream. Bold flavor to say the least.
Maggie FeltFebruary 19, 2019The workers are really sweet and the unique ice cream flavors are all AMAZING
If you're here on a weekend, see if they have a special flavor crafted by Chef Kevin Gillespie. Previous flavors include Bourbon Peach Fried Pie and Mexican Cinnamon Toast.
Spoon UniversityJuly 26, 2016You could try one of their many famous exotic flavors or stick with their most popular item, salted caramel. Read more
- Creative Loafing AtlantaFebruary 24, 2012Ice cream parlors are not usually the place you go to find blowtorches and bacon, but no one ever accused Morelli's Gourmet Ice Cream of being a typical ice cream parlor. Read more
Tiffanye DavenportOctober 12, 2011A little timid about the maple bacon brittle (or any other flavor) - try a sample! They're more than happy to give you one.
The Crispy & Creamier is amazing (tastes like doughnuts) and the Salted Caramel is fantastic. They also serve hotdogs and have some great hotdog/ice cream combo specials.
Salted caramel is the jam, but I really hope someday I'll get to try the maple bacon.
Food & WineApril 26, 2011Husband-and-wife owners Donald Sargent and Clarissa Morelli's quirky ice cream flavors are all available in house-made waffle cones.
L. StanNovember 14, 2011The salted caramel tastes just like butterscotch. If you like butterscotch, give it a go. Buy by the pint and take it home!
Mexican Malted Milkshake is a must try, have them add Chili Powder to it for an extra kick!The fresh made waffle cones are delicious too!- GPNAMarch 17, 2011Local Lust: Buy a quart of salted caramel. You'll keep coming back for it, and the quart will save you money and gas. Single scoop/$3. Quart/$10. You do the math - no brainer here!
- try something you haven't had before- it might surprise you with how good the unexpected can be!
Latoicha GivensOctober 2, 2010Usually love Morelli's ice cream. However they are now putting kids scoop in an itty bitty container that is like a quarter of the original kids' scoop. My son who is 6 said are you kidding me? Fail!- Salted caramel, coconut jalapeno, and a fresh homemade waffle cone - period. Hands down the best ice cream in the city!
Stephan AbramsMay 4, 2012Mud slide milk shake rocks. Will have to try the salted carmel ice cream next trip
Maple bacon brittle - best ice cream hands down; salted caramel close second
Chefs FeedAugust 5, 2014Todd Richards, chef of The Shed at Glenwood, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Salted caramel ice cream. Read more
