Cuisine: Desserts
Price Category: Inexpensive

Ice cream just doesn't get any better than this. Jake's has a true following in Atlanta and devoted fans will stand in line, outside, in the freezing cold and rain if that is what it takes to get the goods. Among the most popular flavors are Chocolate Slap Yo' Mama, the seasonal Honey Fig, the new White House cherry flavored ice cream, a delicious Tiramisu Su Sudio and the signature Brown Sugar Vanilla. Scoops are generous and can be enjoyed while lounging in one of a catacomb of small rooms, either on a couch or in overstuffed chairs by the fireplace. Jake's is also a good place to go for lunch, as the healthy menu includes great sandwiches, such as homemade chicken salad made with nonfat yogurt, honey, apples and pecans. Vegetarians--and those who eat like vegetarians on occasion - will likely enjoy the roasted peppers, goat cheese and Portobello mushroom sandwich.

Lunch items $3.95-$7.95.Open: Mon-Thurs and Sun 11am-10pm; Fri-Sat 11am-11pm.MARTA: Five Points.
