Leopold’s Ice Cream

Leopold’s Ice Cream has been a Savannah favorite since 1919, when three brothers from Greece opened their soda fountain in the city. Locals loved the shop’s malts, milkshakes, banana splits, and the famous Tutti Frutti flavor that became a signature treat. Before long, Leopold’s became a regular stop after concerts, school games, and dances, making it part of everyday life in Savannah.

Famed songwriter Johnny Mercer grew up just a block away, worked at the shop as a boy, and stayed a devoted customer for the rest of his life. Today, Leopold’s still serves ice cream from the original family recipes in a setting filled with music, movie memorabilia, and the feel of a classic soda fountain.
