There’s nothing like a sugar cone filled with flavored rich creamy goodness to cool even the hottest Georgia summer day. And since July is National Ice Cream Month, declared such in 1984 by then-President Ronald Reagan, that got us to thinking about some of our favorite ice cream stops around West Cobb County.

You can find our full list of West Cobb favorites PLUS others from our regional and national travels at our blog, OurTravelCafe.com. Here are three local favorites to make you hungry for more:

Four Fat Cows, Marietta. If we had to pick a favorite, this might be it. The store offers traditional flavors, some exotic options, and a variety of gluten free and diary free treats – all allergen free and perfect when your family includes lactose, gluten and (maybe!) fun-intolerant members!

Sarah Jean’s Ice Cream, Marietta. On Marietta Square, this family shop features 45 flavors, all available in an incredible array of frozen concoctions like shakes, malts, banana splits, sundaes, slushes, and more.
Frozen Cow Creamery, Kennesaw. Just off Main Street near the Locomotive Museum, this hidden gem has served handmade, nitrogen-frozen ice cream since 2016. We’re often frozen in our decision making by the array of choices.

Goats on the Roof, TIger, GA
We enjoy the custom-made nitrogen-frozen treats at Goats on the Roof.
