    Peach sorbet
    Anna P.

    Precious ice cream spot!! Saw it on my walk and popped in, super quick service and very kind employees. Not much seating inside but plenty outside! Dairy free options as well! I got peach and it was so delicious and tasted so fresh.

    Loved the peach sorbet and the basil vanilla flavors!! Such a cute aesthetic spot. Blueberry matcha ice cream sandwich was not my cup of tea though. The cookie was too sweet and too salty at the same time? And the texture wasn't great. But I loved the soft serve!

    I love big softie and I love the great toppings options! Quick Service and I love the front outdoor porch.

    Such a fun spot! I came about 30 minutes before closing and they were packed, but the line moved fast. Flavors change seasonally and swirls are available based on the machine they are in. You can pick and choose your flavor, shell, and toppings, but each addition does cost upwards of a dollar which I feel is a bit expensive for what it is. Great flavors though and a fun experience. (They even have cheez it crumbs as an addition). A petite size (3 swirls) is a great size if you want a little treat. Regular (5 swirls) would be good for sharing.

    Vegan Vanilla w/ cookie batter shell and cornflake strudel

    I was shocked that this little soft serve spot blew me away like it did. The vegan vanilla with the cookie batter shell and the streusel cornflakes were everything I was dreaming of and more. When we got there, the shop was relatively busy, but the line moved fast. I appreciated the girl working behind the counter head suggestion suggestions for what combinations would work well together. I honestly would've probably not chosen the cornflake topping, but she was dead set that it was Fire and she was right. The interior was nothing to get excited about. Nowhere to really sit either but that's OK. Lots of cute little businesses in the area you can walk to. We actually went downstairs to an artist collective for a little benefit show and it was nice to have some tasty ice cream to snack on while we watched!

    I got the strawberry shortcake crumbles, they were true crumbles I thought it would be more chewy cookie like and dipped in chocolate !

    Soft serve ice cream very tasty and fresh! Fun toppings, it can get pricey if you get multiple toppings. Staff is kind. Very small, the crowd grows quickly, but service takes about 5 to 10 mins. Parking is available in the area. It's a pretty walkable area. More like a grab and go. Seating is minimal.

    VEGAN ICECREAM IN ATLANTA?!!!!!! I am addicted to their vegan matcha and vanilla swirl topped with rosemary caramel and brownie bites. Who knew I'd be able to enjoy these type of toppings on my icecream again. I love the Beltline location because you get to sit outside but this is a solid location as well. Parking can be a little tricky when it's busy but the service is usually fast so you aren't waiting long if you need to get back to your car quickly

    Big Softie is so great for soft serve ice cream and they even have Vegan soft serve and lots of vegan-friendly toppings. The banana pudding sundae was to die for (and don't worry for you vegans out there, they have a vegan alternative for this sundae too!)

    Absolutely love their soft serve! The staff is patient and friendly. The parking at this location is tight and hard to come by. Recommend parking at the Publix and walking here. They have limited flavors but ample of toppings making everyone's experience unique and customized to their liking. They also have GF and Vegan options. If you're in the area I highly recommend trying them. It is a small shop with limited seating. Be prepared to leave with your ice cream or stand in the parlor.

    The Big Softie is one of those charming Highlands spots that's absolutely worth a visit. I hadn't had soft-serve in a while and wanted something truly worth the calories, and this delivered. There's free parking (first come, first serve) with the first hour free via the ParkMobile app, which is a nice bonus. The service was friendly, quick, and efficient. The place is clean and you feel like you can sit and enjoy your time. The soft-serve itself was excellent. When a place can nail vanilla, you know they know what they're doing. I'm glad I stopped in and will definitely be back.

    Thai tea and strawberry swirl with hard chocolate and crunchy peanuts
    Carrie H.

    I've lived in Atlanta for a long time and have never been here, but our friends insisted we check it out when we had dinner next door. They are lactose intolerant and love this place because it's one of the only ice cream parlors. They can get a dessert there without feeling bad. Know that you'll stand in a line, but it moves quickly. The time in the line will give you the opportunity to decide what you want on your ice cream. I selected the Thai iced tea and strawberry swirl with chocolate gel and crunchy peanuts. It was a divine combination. Who knows what I will get next time, but I am sure I will be back.

    Vanilla Ice Cream with strawberry shortcake crumble
    Michelle W.

    Another great place it you enjoy Matcha/Green Tea Ice Cream!! Although they have a limited number of flavors to choose, but Matcha is a must try!! And if you like crunchiness and strawberry, add the strawberry shortcake cake crumbles!! The staff is nice and helpful! The space is small, only have a few chairs, but the vibe is chill~ A very relaxing place to visit.

    First time trying big softie and it did not disappoint! The location is small but super cute. Few seating inside and outside not a lot at all. The ice cream is so good! And the customer service was great. You have to park on the street near by and walk to this location. Definitely rec

I ordered via Uber Eats take out today, and it was great. They have a similar set up like Soul Box in the West End, but you will not find tradition meat on the menu. The food is so good. My order was ready on-time. Parking is ample in a private lot and the process of getting your order via pick-up was so easy. I felt the heft of the food in the bag immediately when I pick it up to deliver up out of it the deliciousness of everything inside. It felt like a heavy plate from the cookout or from Grandma's house after Sunday dinner. This is true food for the soul. I loved the sweet potatoes. I loved the mac and cheese. I loved, loved, LOVED the vegan chicken-like protein. I felt in love with it and the hot sauce that came with it. I was not a fan, in particular, of the collard greens--not because they lacked meat seasoning. They were a little too spicy for my liking. Otherwise, this is good food. It is Black-owned and-operated to my knowledge. Support, eat vegan, and be ye healthy.

    Tassili's makes my favorite wraps of all time. I am not vegan but I absolutely love eating here…read more Their wraps are massive, delicious, and make me feel like I'm eating healthy too. I got the South of the Border wrap. The full size is enough for two people. It is stuffed with kale (I get the spicy one and it has a nice kick to it), avocado, black bean hummus, and couscous. I highly recommend! I usually order ahead of time and come to pick it up because service is slow. Online, it will say your order is ready in 10-15 minutes, but that is not true. Wait at least 30-45 minutes to pick it up. I have been here many times, and the people that work here are absolutely incredible, but they are slammed with a lot of orders so it takes a while to get prepared.

There were about four customers in line when I arrived but it moved as slow as molasses. I recommend ordering online if you don't have extra time to wait. Also know what you want when you arrive, it helps move the line a little quicker. This is a raw vegan restaurant that is known for their kale mix. You have your choice of wraps, spicy kale, mild kale or you can do a 50/50 blend. The spicy has heat which i love but I'm glad I did the 50/50, it was perfect. There is a free parking lot a few steps away from the business and it's large so you shouldn't have a problem finding parking. I had the south of the border with a chili wrap and all ingredients. I had the half size which was extremely large and enough for two people to share or enough for two days. It's such a beautiful wrap but personally not my favorite. All the ingredients were very fresh but it was something that I just didn't enjoy about it. Maybe it was the Moroccan couscous flavor. I'm willing to try another wrap and will probably go with the OG or Dat Ish. Prices were okay for the serving size you receive. There are tables outside. And the employees were all pleasant.

    I was super excited to try 100% plant-based Malaysian food at Mamak Vegan Kitchen! The ambiance…read morehere is great, super elegant and spacious (great for fancy occasions but also casual). We got: - Chicken Satay: The chicken itself was so believable, stringy and smoky! And crunchy (though I'm used to satay meat being grilled). The sauce was tasty too- peanut-y, sweet, hint of curry. However, for $8, I'd expect at least 4 skewers. - Shrimp Chow Kway Teow: CKT is one of my favorite noodle dishes ever, and Mamak's version certainly did it justice. The wok hei was so present, the noodles perfectly chewy, and the veggies (snow pea, onion, carrot, bean sprouts) well-cooked. The shrimp was insane, so bouncy and real-feeling. - Olive Fried Rice: Can't say I've ever had olive leaves before, this dish was delightful! Lots of great toppings (tofu, carrot, green bean, mushroom) that gave some textural diversity. - Black Pepper Beef: The black pepper essence was clearly distinguishable, but the sauce was too sweet for me. The beef was truly reminiscent of the actual thing. Lots of tasty veggies again (cauliflower, celery, jicama, carrot, bell pepper). Overall, taste-wise, all of the dishes were great; however, we did not feel portion sizes matched prices. Service could also stand to improve, with regards to attentiveness. To note, the restaurant is self-seating (I wish there was something that said this at the entrance). You can pay the bill via QR code, but there's a platform fee (I wonder if you could avoid that if you pay physically). Lots of parking available. 9/10 would recommend!
