One happy customer

Decent flavors here and open for person-person business unlike another vendor at Krog St Market. However, milkshake machine was out of order so no milk shakes on March 19, 2020 sadly. We ordered a couple of sugar cones with one scoop a piece of mint cookies n cream and lemon / strawberry sorbet. Satisfied customers! :)

5 stars for ice cream taste only. Hands down literally best ice cream I've had in a while. They don't have a whole lot of flavors, but they are all pretty good. They let us taste some of them and decided to go with the Butter Pecan, or how they call it "Better Pecan" and the delicious Peach and Apple Cobbler. Both flavors were sooooo good!!! and very affordable as well. A single (2 scoops) was about $4 and we could choose if we wanted a cup, or a cone. Not gonna lie, this place is not the best looking ever. But don't judge a book by its cover and give it a try if you're in the area. Its located literally across the street from Krog Street Market. ESPAÑOL 5 estrellas solo por el sabor de helado. Sin duda, el mejor helado que he probado en mucho tiempo. No tienen muchos sabores, pero todos son bastante buenos. Nos dejaron probar algunos de ellos y decidimos ir con el de nuez de mantequilla, y el delicioso cobbler de durazno y manzana. Ambos sabores estaban super buenos! y muy asequible también. Un solo (2 cucharadas) costaba alrededor de $ 4 y podríamos elegir si queríamos una taza o un cono. No voy a mentir, este lugar no es el mejor. Pero no juzgues un libro por su portada y pruébalo si estás en el área. Está ubicado literalmente al otro lado de la calle de Krog Street Market.

'Twas a hot summer day on Krog street, and all I could think about was having a cold beer or a colder ice cream. Thankfully we stumbled upon Jake's by accident, or by luck. The location is in the old Irwin St Market. It is more rundown and very small compared to the new Krog development. Kinda sad to see how it's just been left there. We had to circle the building several times because the place did not seem open, and the signs had conflicting info. When we finally realized the door was unlocked, we walked in to an empty space. Upon notifying the server that the sign was saying they were closed, she said she'd fix it and never did during our 1 hour visit. The server was nice to let us try so many flavors and she explained the sizing perfectly. I was satisfied with my flavors. The ice cream is good, but not anything super stand out-ish. The serving size was adequate. I wish the selection of flavors had been more broad, or maybe the ones I tried and didn't get needed to be better. The ambiance was a little awkward. The server was humming away like she was in her own little world. Several times, other workers told us they'd be with us after we had been helped. I guess the stalls are all connected. Overall, it's a cute little spot when you just need ice cream, but nothing I'd go out of my way for. It's really quiet over there when the main restaurant isn't open. I wish they'd fix up the whole little market to give this place a better chance, especially making it look more welcoming and open from the outside!

Such a fun place to visit! Had a great experience here. Jake's shares a shop space with a beignet shop and biscuit shop. I think that's a novel idea because we came for beignets, which we loved, but also left with ice cream! What's not to love! The staff was friendly and funny. We tried several different flavors, I got the chocolate oat milk and a butter finga scoop. Loved the flavors I chose! Along with Icecream they also have sorbet and several flavors of lemonade. Unfortunately I didn't get to try the lemonade because they were out of the base to make it. Hopefully I'll get to try it next time we stop by!

My boyfriend and I attended a cooking class at The Cooking School at Irwin Street. Our instructor told us that we each get a scoop of ice cream at the end of our class (and at the end of eating a hearty southern meal). It was delightful ending our experience with a sweet treat! The ice cream at Jake's is creamy and thick. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients and the big flavors in a small serving. The servers are incredibly polite and helpful. It's located a short walk from Krog Street Market with lots of seating inside to sit and enjoy your scoop!

Sangria sorbet

We stopped in to Jake's after dinner for something sweet - and I rarely explore the Irwin Street Market so we were pretty excited to check it out. It was pretty quiet for a Saturday night, but they were probably an hour from closing. I wanted something light, like a sorbet, which isn't something I usually crave. There weren't many options left at this hour, and many of the popular flavors were empty. I tried a couple flavors but settled on the sangria sorbet, since there weren't many other options available. I almost didn't get anything but since no one else in the group ordered anything, I felt obliged. It wasn't boozy but pretty fruity. It wasn't too memorable, which was kind of disappointing. Overall, I do recommend coming during the day or earlier in the evening, as they don't restock near closing time. I'll have to come back another time to try some of their other flavors when they're available.

Single scoop of Devyn's Animal Cracker. Pro tip: Get it in a cup and ask for a cone on top.

Jake's Ice Creams & Sorbets is located just down the street from Krog Street Market in a cool little multi-use retail + restaurants space. It's very easy to find given the cool signage that they have on the building. There is free parking out back in an unpaved lot which can get a bit cramped at times. I originally happened upon this spot after visiting DBA Sandwiches in the same building and it's really great to have such a convenient dessert spot nearby. The guy who took our orders was super nice and answered all of the questions we had about the menu! *PRO TIP ALERT* To maximize ease of eating and deliciousness, ask for your scoop in a cup with cone on top. This way you get the convenience of a cup and the tastiness of the cone. *END PRO TIP* When I visited, I tried the Devyn's Animal Cracker and Chocolate Slap Yo Mama. Devyn's Animal Cracker Consisted of white chocolate dipped animal crackers in a sweet cream ice cream. I LOVE animal crackers so I was surprised that this one fell a bit flat for me. The sweet cream was creamy and tasty but the animal crackers were bland so I was a bit disappointed. The Chocolate Slap Yo Mama was a fairly standard chocolate ice cream, nothing life changing. I want to also give an honorable mention to the seating situation and the price. The seating here is top notch. It's a bunch of eclectic chairs and tables scattered about and I prefer it to the hustle and bustle you get at Krog Street. The price also can't be beat. We got 3 huge scoops total for just under $8. Getting the same across the street at Jeni's down the street might set you back $12. However, I do think the premium price is worth the difference in flavor and handmade waffle cones. Overall, I chalk Jake's up as a convenient, affordable alternative to Jeni's that has great seating. I will probably revisit at some point in the future as I explore the other businesses around it. Give it a try if you are in the area and looking for a nice place to chill.

Single scoop

Well Jake's gave me an ice cream first...I actually threw away my scoop before finishing. I got a single scoop of the brown sugar vanilla. It had almost no taste. Even worse, the texture was crumbly. It was almost like the ice cream was too cold and had to be scooped out in little shavings. For those who are covid conscious, there are signs throughout saying that masks are mandatory. None of the employees had a mask in sight. If you want better ice cream in the area, there are plenty of options. Just check out Jeni's, Butter & Cream, or Queen of Cream.

Pretty good. Can't complain but I don't think it's the best artisan ice cream I've had. It looks like they have Italian sodas as well! I will have to go back to try that. No indoor seating due to covid.

After meeting up with my cousin and her husband for dinner, we decided to grab some ice cream at Jake's to walk along the Atlanta Beltline for a bit. The service was great. The line was fairly short, and they were very helpful and let us try a few flavors before we decided. I went with the animal cracker ice cream! I love an ice cream with some texture in it! It was delicious and made me feel five years old again! My cousin and her husband enjoyed theirs as well. It was a great stop on a warm evening!

Neat ice cream shop that is a short walk from the Krog Street Market. A dozen or so flavors of real ice cream and while I tried the "Laughing Gas", I opted for a single scoop of the Salted Caramel in a cup. It was a very big scoop. Plenty of ice cream for $5 with rounding up for the tip. Creamy and delicious, it hit all the right taste buds. They have inside and outdoor seating.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM!!!! We walk the belt line every now and then since it's been extended to our front door basically. On this fine Sunday we did 3 miles just to sendup throwing our healthy time away for some good ol' Ice cream. I love sweets, treats and all good eats and Jake's is a new fave! Not only is it located right off of the Beltline it also some of the best ice cream I've ever eaten. What to get: I ended up falling in love with the apple pie ice cream and the crazy thing is I never even knew that existed. I was minding my business tasting some samples and it stole my heart. They have real apple pieces and pie crust in there....YES, you heard me right. They put apple pie crust in the apple pie ice-cream and it is delicious. Service: The staff was great, but the place itself is a bit bland. When you think of Ice Cream shoppes you want sprinkles, laughs and the traditional feel. Walking into this place I didn't know what to expect, but I was very surprised by the taste. It wouldn't hurt to doll up the spot a bit, but I don't think that takes anything away from the taste. Location: They are conveniently located off the Beltline so yeah...there you have it! I don't think there's a better location. Cost: I think they are pretty affordable and Variety: They have tons of varieties for everyone and many options for those who have allergies as well. They are big on the sample game, so don't be scared to try it before you buy it. Not sure, but I think they switch them up on the regular. I will definitely be returning to this place every Sunday for the next....FOREVER!!

Overpriced and icy...this ice cream was terrible. Tasted like it had been sitting in the freezer for too long. Go elsewhere.

With this heat, it's time to visit Big softie! So many yummy flavors and seasonal flavors to try…read more The location is very small but quaint.

I was really excited to try Big Softie, but unfortunately, the customer service completely…read moreovershadowed the food. When we got to the counter, we politely let the staff know that we were first-timers. Instead of being welcoming or offering a quick rundown of the menu, they were not friendly at all. We had a few basic questions about the menu, but it was clear that the staff was visibly annoyed by them. We left feeling like our presence was inconveniencing them. A major warning to anyone planning to visit: You need to research exactly how to order here ahead of time. If you don't know exactly what you want the second you step up, you will end up holding up the line, and the staff does not have the patience for it. As for the ice cream itself, it was actually good. We ordered the chocolate and vanilla soft serve, as well as the matcha soft serve topped with corn flake streusel. They have a lot of really interesting toppings on the menu, we saw things like Cheez-It brittle that looked unique, but we didn't end up trying them because we just wanted to finish our order and get out of the uncomfortable environment. No matter how good the soft serve is, it's hard to justify going back to a place that makes you feel like an annoyance just for being a new customer. It's highly unlikely we will return.
