I had been looking forward to sampling Leopold's ice cream during our trip to Savannah, but one obstacle or another kept us from going to the main location in the city (it was either too early, or we had just ate and were full, or we had just had a sweet from somewhere else - I know, real first world problems!). So I resigned myself to not trying their items, at least on this trip. However, we got to the airport to fly home ridiculously early and as we were wandering around lo and behold look what was there! A tiny Leopold's! And the best part was that since we had gotten to the airport so early we had an hour before the location closed. I was thrilled. So I ordered a cup of Lemon custard. Now look, I have had amazing ice cream before. I have had frozen custard, I have had gelato, I have had some high quality stuff. But nothing prepared me for this dessert. It was silky, it was rich, it was buttery - it was sin in a cup for sure! I was so glad to have been able to get it before we left Savannah. Definitely going to make it a priority to go to the main location next time we are in town, you gotta try it! read more

It was awesome! It's a great place right there at the airport named for the namesake and famous ice cream in Savannah! We enjoyed upon landing and my wife got it for us while I was getting baggage claim just downstairs from the terminal and entry way to the airport. By the time she came downstairs with ice cream for all four is us - I had rented the car and had the bags and we walked out, ice cream in hand, to get our rental car! Fabulous and friendly service with excellent ice cream! read more

Great way to be greeted getting off the airplane. Curt but efficient service- just one person staff. Tried 2 flavors & can't wait to try more read more

If you're flying in or out, definitely stop by the airport location--it's conveniently located right before security (or just after you exit), and it's usually not too crowded. That makes it a perfect, stress-free treat before or after a flight. The downtown location is iconic, but fair warning: during high season there can be a line wrapped all the way around the building. That said, once you taste the ice cream, you'll understand why. The ice cream is incredibly rich, creamy, and full of flavor--truly some of the best I've had in the U.S. On top of that, the staff is super friendly and welcoming, even when the place is busy, which makes the experience even better. The ice cream parlor itself is really cool inside, with a charming retro vibe that feels straight out of the 1960s. The nostalgic décor adds so much character and makes it more than just an ice cream stop--it's an experience. Whether you grab a scoop at the airport or brave the downtown line, Leopold's is absolutely worth it and highly recommended. read more

Leopold's Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Headed home from Savannah, we made it through airport security and the first thing I saw was the Leopold's Ice Cream stand. Another opportunity to try the best ice cream in Savannah! I got the Savannah Socialite (again): milk and dark chocolate ice creams with roasted Georgia Pecans and swirled with homemade bourbon-infused caramel. Another overflowing cup of Leopold's ice cream as we waited for our flight to board. No hollywood nostalgia at this location, but the ice cream still hits the spot! If you missed out on Leopold's downtown, you got one last chance at the airport! read more

Leopold's Ice Cream - Small Butter pecan ice cream and chocolate sauce - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Ice cream choices abound except here. Asked to get half scoops in a single cup and was turned down with a big fat "NO WAY" at the counter. Hmm never heard that before and to boot I was the only one in line. This bad for us both we both walked away with nothing. No ice cream for me and no sale for Leopold's. Keep trying to please your customer base by showing some flexibility please. For all ice cream lovers you might have to pick one over another at this walk up shop. read more

So you're visiting Savannah and want to try Leopold? This is the way to do it. Hop off the plane at SAV with a dream of some Leopolds (Miley Cyrus reference, FYI) and grab some ice cream here before heading to your Uber. Chances are, there's no line and you can try all the flavors in peace. Now you have just saved yourself an unknown amount of time waiting in line at the downtown location. I had honey almond and omg yum. read more

Yummy ice cream and the line moved pretty quickly. Worth trying and possibly even worth a detour . . .

The ice cream is smooth and creamy with an excellent flavor. Have tried the chocolate and the lemon custard, simply excellent. The service at the two locations I visited was excellent. It is an ice cream parlor that you can sit back and enjoy. read more

I've been trying to get into this landmark ice cream shop for a few years. I finally made it into Leopold's. On this day the line wasn't too long, so I hopped in line. One minute later there were about 15 people standing behind me. This brand was founded by three brothers a little over 100 years ago. Let's just say they know ice cream. I had the Savannah Socialite which is a decadent chocolate, nutty, with a bourbon infusion, so delicious. The service is awesome and fast, scooping up a variety of ice cream favorites, from cones, to banana splits. They have a vintage juke box inside, along with some other nostalgic momentum's. read more

When I landed at the Savannah Hilton Head International Airport, I immediately saw Leopold's Ice Cream and made a mental note to get this ice cream here on my way out if I don't make it to the original Leopold's location. Well, I sadly didn't make it to Leopold's in the historic district, but I was able to snag some at this airport location, and I'm so glad I didn't leave Savannah without tasting Leopold's Ice Cream. I scream for ice cream and heard Leopold's was the best ice cream in Savannah, so it was definitely on my bucket list. The ice cream was super creamy with a variety of ingredients for the different flavors. The signature flavor is the Savannah Socialite, which is dark and milk chocolate with Georgia pecans and bourbon caramel sauce, which is the one I ordered and absolutely loved! However, if you don't like chocolate, which is weird BTW, there are a variety of different flavors, as well as seasonal ones. There are also sundaes, cookie sandwiches, floats and merchandise. Just note that if you go to the Leopold's stand at the gates after TSA, the menu won't be as large and they won't serve as many flavors. It's best to get Leopold's at the central area at the airport for the full experience - other than the OG location, of course. Bottom line: don't leave Savannah without eating at Leopold's Ice Cream, even if it's at this airport location, which is basically a last call to eat Leopold's Ice Cream and be happy. read more

We had Leopold's ice cream in Savannah. I can only review the taste of the ice cream since I waited in the car and my husband went inside to purchase our ice cream. The ice cream is excellent! This would be a place I would strongly recommend! read more

We knew there were a couple of Leopold's at SAV. One was before security and one post. The one past security is between Gates 9 & 10. That worked out as our departure gate was 11. The airport is very small so it would have been an easy walk irregardless. We went through TSA and headed toward our gate. We spotted the Leopold kiosk. Hubby and I each ordered a single scoop. Unlike Leopold's in Savannah proper, the single scoop was not very generous. Had we known we'd ordered two scoops for an extra dollar more. As it was we paid $13+ for two tiny cups. This time I ordered chocolate. It was dark and creamy. Hubby got the raspberry sorbet. Advice: Get two scoops. read more

It's expensive but delicious! Everyone that works there is so nice and pleasant. Very nice place!

I was at the airport and right I'd grab a couple of scoops of Leopoldo awesome ice cream but was met with a stunningly uninterested cashier. I didn't even think anyone was there until I looked more closely. The cashier was sitting down and don't say a word to me. I finally said "Do I order from you", and got this stare at me as though I was an idiot. So, that canceled my purchase. I get that being a cashier at the Airport Leopolds is not the most glamorous job, but being outwardly uninterested in the job really doesn't serve anyone. If you don't like your job then go home. read more

Yum! Savannah Socialite and Pistachio were a solid combo double scoop. A delay causing a missed connection allowed me to sit in the main terminal waiting for a flight out. The ice cream hit the spot. Not too sweet and the right balance of richness, nuttiness and sweet. There's a second location past TSA if that's where you are headed in a rush since you can't bring it through security. Me...I preferred sitting on this side of the screening in the atrium square within terminal. Enjoy! read more

After many visits and opting to not wait in the long lines, I finally did it this time! It smells of cream/milk when you walk into the door and the staff are pretty friendly. You can sample the ice cream flavors they have available. I got a single scoop of honey almond cream which was absolutely delicious -- hits the spot after you've been walking around town for a bit. Definitely recommend stopping by this little icon when you're in Savannah! read more

A sweet treat and all home made. We visit every time we go to Savannah. Nice seasonal flavors as well. A must for all to visit!

Leopold's was great - it was a sweet spot to see community members and tourist come together. We got a kids scoop of vanilla in a larger cup with hot fudge (delicious) and a single scoop of banana - probably some of the best banana ice cream I've had. The bathrooms were clean and there were tables available to sit inside. The employees were kind - Javon who was outside welcoming folks was kind and had a lot of knowledge about the flavors! You can also ask for samples of the flavors if you're not sure and the line was long but moved quickly! read more

This place is a neat little ice cream shop. When you walk in, it's a blast from the past with all the old movie posters down to the staff dressed as an old-school ice cream parlor. You're greeted with a friendly smile and with over 10 ice cream flavors. They offer quite a bit of different ways to build your ice cream. My husband got the waffle cone with hot chocolate ice cream, and he loved it. I got the vanilla brownie hot fudge Sunday. The ice cream was delicious, but the brownie wasn't for my taste. But the vanilla ice cream was delicious! read more

This is for the kiosk after security. I was not happy with the service. The girl was nice but didn't understand what I was saying. I wanted a single scoop with two flavors. So she ended up just giving me one flavor and two scoops of it. The strawberry lemonade sorbet is good but super crumbly so it makes a mess everywhere. Savannah airport is too hot inside and the sorbet melted on my purse before I could find an open seat. Also, people don't understand the kiosk's entrance and exit ropes. So there is a jam up at front. Frustrating and expensive. Not much else to do at the airport so people will go here, to a Starbucks kiosk, or the PGA place for food. Maybe a milkshake was the way to go. The sorbet is very messy and I got it in a cup. Also, I didn't see or get any napkins so I went over to the Starbucks stand and got it myself. read more

Quality product. At the relatively quiet and manageable satellite airport location. Do yourself a favor. All the iconic flavor with none of the iconic waiting. Super sweet staff (pun not intended, but let's go with it anyway). read more

Leopold's Rum Bisque ice cream is terrible - no rum flavor at all and the supposed almond macaroon chunks don't have the consistency of macaroons or any almond flavor. Really disappointing - especially at $7 for a single scoop. read more

(3.75) ~ Good Overall Butter Pecan ice cream. Went to the Post security location, which is smaller than the pre-security one, so they didn't have as many flavors (ie Lemon Custard)... read more

This review is for the kiosk near Gate 9. We knew we had to get some of this famous ice cream before departing Savannah. The line at the downtown location was so long so we never got it until we were actually waiting for our flight. Only 2 people ahead of us and the woman working was SOOOOOO friendly. She didn't make me feel rushed and was genuinely excited to help us. I got the chocolate chewies and cream in a waffle cone and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Some of the best ice cream I have ever had. One single scoop would have been enough for 2 people - massive. read more

Just moved to the area and every time I passed by it was so busy. Finally stopped in with my grandson and the ice cream was delicious! Was fortunate enough to meet the owner Stratton Leopold, who was just an amazing man! Warm, welcoming Southern hospitality! Read the history on their website. Greatly informative! Did I say the ice cream was amazing? Absolutely! read more

Missed out on this place, while in the city. Last chance at airport! Went with cup of savannah socialite flavor. TASTY! Lots of chunks of chocolate- really good ice cream . No wonder people brag it up ! read more

Totally worth the high price in the airport. This ice cream is so great, every flavor, can't go wrong. I love the tutti friutti (literally recipe from 1980), butter pecan, Savannah socialite, chocolate chewy cookie ice cream. I also love the lemon but they did t have it at the airport today. I would pay big money for quality ice cream without the INSANE line downtown (never again). I got the kids size because it was a little early in the morning, but don't do that and get a bigger one you'll want it! read more

I love me some Leopold's! This is a great opportunity to skip the lines downtown and enjoy this classic Savannah treat. Most people probably don't realize it when they are arriving, but if you have some time before a flight and they are open, I'd suggest hitting this up! One of my favorites is their lemon ice cream. It's from their original recipe still and of you love lemons, you'll love this! read more

Quick service and didn't have to wait in long lines like their popular store on Broughton. Sitting in an airport waiting to pick up someone is actually pretty boring like watching paint dry but eating a single scope of lemon custard helps the time go by. Collins provided excellent customer service! She has a great personality and interacts very well with the customers. My favorite ice cream flavor at Leopold's is honey almond but they don't carry it at the airport location so my backup is lemon custard. One suggestion is to have a water pitcher like the Broughton location does. I did try a sample of the cherry blossom and the flavor was wonderful and very light. It is an ice cream to eat after a heavy meal. The cherry blossoms brought back great memories when I was in Bonn, Germany. I think it is great that each month there are different flavors of the month in addition to their regular hits. read more

While researching our Savannah trip Yelp was telling me Leopold's was the place to be for ice cream so I put it on the list! We walked but the Leopolds in downtown twice but both times it was too early for ice cream (they open at 10am.) My husband kept saying we can get it at the airport... so we did. I tasted the rum bisque and butter pecan. While both were tasty I went for the rich rum bisque. Very creamy, sweet and whatever that brown stuff is... delicious! I will be honest... I do not think I could finish 2 scoops of this flavor. But an added extra, right outside the shop in the open airport waiting area are rocking chairs. So we rocked and I devoured my one scoop. I suggest giving it a try. read more

Leopold's Ice Cream - Rum bisque! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Leopold's is really good ice cream. Really, really good ice cream. It's been around for almost a century (will be a century in just a months!). The lines outside their store on Broughton Street can be daunting. Luckily, there's now a location at the airport. It's outside the TSA security area, so you can have this really, really good ice cream even if you're not the one traveling. The airport location does not have the honey almond flavor (one of my favorites, made with local Savannah bee honey), so I usually go with the butter pecan (the next best, made with Georgia-grown pecans). They seem to have stopped making their snickerdoodle ice cream (snickerdoodle cookies blended in ice cream!), which I had first eaten at The Grey. On my most recent visit to the airport location, I happened to meet Mary Leopold, and found her to be one of the kindest humans I had ever met. read more
