Creole Creamery

Here’s what one reviewer says about Creole Crfeamery “Wonderful ice cream flavors. I am happy that I stopped at this small spot in the Garden District. Lovely customer service.

Gregg was funny and helpful and the samples were more than what we needed. Expectacular customer service, and flavor was out of this world amazing. A must come back for us and highly recommend if you are in the area. Just loved it.”

Angelo Bracato

214 N Carrollton Ave, New Orleans, LA 70119 | (504) 486-0078

Here’s what one reviewer says about Angelo Bracato: “Visited here after dinner on our recent trip. Wonderful atmosphere. Every employee still had a smile an hour before closing. We sampled a variety of treats- rum cake, amaretto cheesecake, pistachio cheesecake, and cream horns. Amaretto and pistachio were our favorites.”

Amorino

637 Canal St, New Orleans, LA 70130 | (504) 510-2398

Here’s what one reviewer says about Amorino: “Amazing gelato experience. The line was a little long but worth the wait. I was able to try three flavors on the small cone option. The ice cream melted quickly on the cone so be prepared to lick lick lick quickly. The macaroon on top was delicious and a nice addition to the beautifully placed ice cream cone. If I come back to NOLA definitely would love some more ice cream from this location! Highly recommend.”

Abbott’s Frozen Custard New Orleans

628 Toulouse St, New Orleans, LA 70130 | (504) 345-2524

Here’s what one reviewer says about Abbott’s Frozen Custard New Orleans: “Abbott’s has always been a staple in the Rochester, New York community since before I was a kid. They opened up shop on the corner of Beach & Lake avenue across from “Charlotte Beach” where there was an amusement park at the time. For more than 100 years they have been making the best frozen custard anywhere. I was so glad to see a taste of home, while I was walking around in the French Quarter. The daily flavors and the hospitality of the franchise owner Katie, leaves no doubt in my mind that it will soon be a staple of the New Orleans community as well. I would recommend the strawberry shortcake sundae or the expresso cone. No matter what dessert you order, I promise that it will be delicious.”

Laozi Ice Cream

4301 Canal St, New Orleans, LA 70119 | (504) 222-2948

Here’s what one customer says about Laozi: “Amazing small batch ice cream that you should get your hands on! They currently offer a couple flavors a week, so check their Instagram for those flavors and info on how to order/pickup!”

Drip Affrogato Bar

703 Carondelet St, New Orleans, LA 70113 | (504) 313-1611

Here’s what one customer says: “Went here with my friend after doing an event in the area and definitely recommend it! We got the flight and decided to split it. I definitely recommend splitting it since it can be a lot for just one person, especially if you’re coming for dessert after a meal. The server who was on when we came in was really lovely and helpful! I didn’t get her name but she had blonde hair and immaculate eyeliner. Her input was super helpful and she had some funny comments as well! Nice place for a casual hangout and little reprieve from the heat. I think it would be nice for dates.”
