I ordered the Birthday Cake flavor, it tasted really good and the service was quick! I was able to get in and out within minutes.
Stopped by for a quick dessert run and had a really good experience overall. Even though it's more of a grab-and-go spot without seating, the space still felt welcoming and the service was friendly from the moment I walked in. I ordered the cookies and cream flavor, and it was rich, creamy, and loaded with cookie pieces. It's the kind of place that's perfect for picking up a treat and continuing your day.
The ice cream flavors are delicious and I love the option to add cereal to your item. I got the donut ice cream sandwich with sweet dreams and bourbon flavors. Great customer service! The ambiance was very quiet and very clean. A must try.
It was a very intimate space with sweet ladies working in there!! They were super kind and friendly. We parked at a lot nearby and walked over. I got the doughnut sandwich with salted caramel ice cream topped with Cinnamon Toast Crunch and m&ms. It was DELICIOUS!!
I wasn't expecting much from this creamery, but I walked away incredibly surprised. I got the bourbon truffle (or something like that) and the Cuban coffee cream -- and they were delicious on their own, but paired great together. A friend of mine got two scoops of the vegan lemon and it was perfectly tart. This place is small and there aren't very many places to sit, but it's very easy to walk in, order, and go on a brisk walk with your delicious, creamy sweet treat.
I got the ice scream sandwich with mvp and and bourbon truffle flavors and it was a good combination. The mvp had chocolate covered peanut butter bites. They had a good amount of flavors and would love to try some of the more fruity flavors here as well. The service was super friendly. There wasn't that many options for seating. It's more like a place where you can grab and go. The only down side is that the area where it is located was a little scary at night when I went. There were a couple homeless people outside and there is a parking deck right next to the location but we just parked right outside the store on the street so that we could keep an eye on the car.
My kids were able to find their favorite flavors and seemed happy with their treats BUT... I did not go into the business. The closest parking was a block away and before I was fully parked, a guy rode over to my vehicle on a scooter and started telling me how terrible this parking lot was and pointed out the two other vehicles already booted. Scooter man proceeded to ask me if I ever help out the homeless and asked for cash, and had a hard time accepting my no answer. Across the street from the public parking lot is John Calhoun Park. I noticed numerous homeless sleeping in the shade and another covered in a wheelchair next to the street. My initial thought was to find another ice cream option because I didn't feel comfortable leaving my vehicle and walking a couple blocks over to Sweet Stacks. My daughters (ages 6 & 7) had been drinking lots of water because it was a hot day and had to pee really bad. I circled the block and let the girls out, my oldest was able to handle payment. To our dismay, the bathrooms at Sweet Stack are for employees only. My idea of a fun treat was very underwhelming. Sweet Stack might be more of a locals only shop.
The pros: Good portion size and a variety of flavors - they also have a good selection of vegan ice cream for anyone that has dietary restrictions. Lady serving us was so patient and kind! Sweet dreams was really good, especially for fruit flavor lovers. Go ahead and pass on the mango flavor - it's vegan so it has a more icy texture and the flavor isn't that strong. Got it to accomodate a friend but would've gone for the caramel praline otherwise. The cons: Pricing is unclear and maybe even a little deceptive? Could've sworn that the menu said $4.15 for a small cup and was told that I could have up to two scoops. When I got to checkout it seemed like you had to pay for the cup plus $1 for each scoop, so my total was coming out to $6.15 pre-tax. To me this pricing model makes no sense and if it's posted, it's not clear/visible. If a place says that I can get up to two flavors with my size, I'm expecting two smaller scoops of two diff flavors or one large scoop of a single flavor. In hindsight, perhaps their pricing model is a flat $4.15 for the cup + $1 for each scoop, and you can get up to 4 scoops (so cup size doesn't matter) Either way, pricing is not super clear in my opinion. Also the parking at night here is a little sketch - I get it, it's downtown, but just throwing that out there. Pricing aside, this is a solid place for ice cream
I first tried Sweet-Stack at the Dessert Wars festival a few months ago, and it was my favorite treat I sampled at the festival. I've been wanting to visit their storefront ever since, and we stopped by last weekend just prior to closing. My husband was waiting in the car outside so I felt a little under pressure to order fast, and they weren't doing samples, which made it hard to decide! I ordered a donut ice cream sandwich with Cookie Monster ice cream. It was really tasty, but I wish I would have ordered a topping on it. They also have cookie sandwiches that look really good too! I've never heard of donut ice cream sandwiches before Sweet-Stack. The donut is warm and the ice cream is still cold / not melty. I would recommend stopping by if you're in the area!
I'm a fan of trying any dessert with a twist! Sweet Stack Creamery did not let me down! After seeing that they had an activated charcoal ice cream, I knew I had to put this place on my to visit list. Then I saw the names of the flavors and knew I'd be making a trip same day! I took my kids, because what child doesn't want ice cream?! I ordered the charcoal flavor, called Black Panther. It also has coconut flavor and vanilla wafers crushed in! 10/10 My son ordered chocolate, but I can't remember the name. My daughter ordered the Amber Rose which is cotton candy with pop rocks! They don't have kid scoops so it was almost $5 for each of our single scoops. They also have a wide selection of toppings to add and make creations like donut sandwiches!
Unfortunately this was a no for us. It's been on my list for awhile but is a hike so we finally made the trip yesterday. Parking is located in the garage right before the shop (free) and staff weren't exactly warm or welcoming making for a weird vibe. Their COVID protocols are still fully in place- only four allowed inside, no indoor dining, masks required and no samples so just things to be prepared for when you go. They will sell you a mask for $1 if you forget yours. We weren't super hungry so chose to not do the donut but did get a waffle bowl. We got the amber rose (cotton candy), bday cake and Cookie Monster and honestly were disappointed by all three flavors. I'm unsure if they make their ice cream fresh in house, I couldn't find out for certain on the site, but it tasted identical to Herseys brand ice cream and there were big chunks of ice throughout. The Cookie Monster was the biggest disappointment with our scoop only containing two pieces of cookie dough and a portion of one Oreo, it essentially was just vanilla was food coloring. We really wanted to love this stop but unfortunately the ice cream looks better than it tastes.
I feel like an OG...wait there's a reason for that...I had the OG from the sweet stack. 2 scoops of Oreo ice cream, with warm fudge on top. Oh yeah!!! Now, even though the ice cream was heavenly here's some stuff to be mindful of. It is in downtown Atlanta in the auburn area. So you will have to find parking on the road. They open late, midnight to be exact. Also, on 4 customers allowed in at a time. So be ready for a wait. The staff are helpful and nice, but be clear about what you want. I hate to say it but they seem a little distracted. Awesome spot and nice flavor listings.

My BFF is in town visiting, and went on an adventure today with me and my girls. This was our final adventure stop today. While my dietary restrictions didn't allow me to partake, the girls and bestie enjoyed their treats. They just had ice cream and cones. We agreed that we'd have to come back a different time to try the donut/ice cream sandwich! There is a parking garage next to this storefront that is partially public parking and partially residential. The public parking is three dollars for 30 minutes. You have to pay it on your cell phone, and they charge a $1.20 service fee. So 30 minutes of parking is actually $4.20. This was just enough time for us to go inside order sit to eat and get back to the car with five minutes to spare. Luckily, we went in during a slow period, because we were able to order right away. Also, there is only bar top seating with four barstools, so it was the perfect amount of seats for those in my group who were eating. Most people who came behind us did a grab and go. read more

I was in the area and looking for a vegan friendly dessert and found Sweet-Stack Creamery not too far from. When I walked up, all of the chairs were up so it looked closed, but I peaked in, and they confirmed they were still open. I was greeted with a smile and asked to taste the vegan flavors which were lemon, mango, and berry açai. I'm happy they had multiple vegan options and we're willing to let me try them. I ended up going with the Bory since it was made with oat milk and had oats and berries in it. The lemon and mango were more like sorbets. I gave it a four stars because it was a little bit more expensive than anticipated and they charged a dollar extra for the vegan options. Not sure why vegan options are more expensive, especially if they are similar in size as the non-vegan options. read more
Sweet Stack scratched an itch when my favorite ice cream spot was closed. It'll continue to be a last resort for a sweet craving due to convenience but there are several reasons it can't be a first option. The area it's in is somehow very rough. It's a part of a short strip of restaurants and it was an interesting walk into the ice cream shop to say the least. I mean there were young people outside screaming about shooting someone with their own gun.... hmm. Most of the restaurants (but not sweet stack) had an officer on duty which says a whole lot. The ambience once we entered was also pretty rough. Very sticky with a film over everything. They surely have a gnat problem. This place needs a good cleaning. Customer service was virtually nonexistent even before we arrived; I had called beforehand to make sure they didn't mysteriously close early as many ATL spots tend to do, and the woman on the line sounded absolutely miserable that I even asked. That energy was felt firsthand inside. But I'll give them a fair rating because their brownie sundae was good, and my husband enjoyed what he got as well. Good portions for the price. Extra points for being open kinda late. It just wasn't memorable because the environment was quite depressing. Last resort, not my first option. read more

Loved sweet stack. I ubered and it was easy to find. They let me sample flavors and I decided on birthday cake. I got the donut sandwich and it was so good, definitely could've shared between two adults. They have standing room inside but no seating. I would definitely come back and try other flavors. Also the staff was super friendly read more
This was our first time here and my order (donut sandwich) was very underwhelming- largely due to the donut being dry and cold despite being put on the press. I watched a different girl make another customers and hers looked way better. I ordered the Black Panther and Pralines n cream rolled in fruity pebbles. I abandoned the donut because it wasn't warm, gooey or shiny like in the pics and tasted like stale bread with no flavor. Meanwhile, my partner in crime was loving his. He had both vegan options, the mango and vanilla with Oreos on top. The mango was hands down the best. Cons: They're supposed to only let 4 people in at a time and sent the girl out ahead of us only to allow 10 people in at once. We waited outside for 25 before we could place our order. it was 90 deg outside. read more

This place was awesome! Loved the I cream flavors. I got the fruity pebble icecream with fruity pebbles inside. Ugh! The best thing ever! Tasted exactly like fruity pebbles. My boyfriend who is lactose intolerant got a vanilla icecream that was vegan. (glad they had that option) He added some of his favorite toppings and thought it was really good too. Definitely gotta go back! Covid friendly! No seating inside read more

My niece is vegan and found this spot that had vegan ice cream options. Of course we had to check it out. We decided to go following a late dinner on a Friday night. I called to find out what time they closed and they advised midnight. This shop is in the same plaza as Pizza Hut and Moe's. There is a parking garage attached to the building so no need to worry about finding parking on the street. The inside of this spot is so cute. There are several murals providing places to get a good social media shot! The ice cream flavors are all displayed in cases. I appreciate the fact that they decided to give unique names to the ice cream like Amber Rose, Black Panther and Chocolate Fetish. They offer 3 vegan flavors: French Press, Let The Man Go, and Vanilla. One thing to note about the vegan options is that all of them contain cashew. My niece failed to realize this. She indicated that she is not a fan of cashew milk so she did not enjoy her ice cream. I tried the black panther. It was different from any other ice cream I have tried. It was not very sweet, which I actually enjoyed. It was good, but not great. However, I would give them another try if I am in the area in the future. read more

I was on Google looking for nearby ice cream and this Black owned establishment came up with pics of black ice cream!!! I had find out. I got the smaller cup that includes 1-2 scoops. I choose the green tea (great, crisp flavor) and cuban coffee cream (full but not overpowering flavor). I really wanted to sample the black ice cream "BlackPanther" so I got a small touch on top. I don't like coconut but it was GOOD! The place is small and no seating at this time. There is a parking lot but it was not well lit. Nonetheless, I will definite be back. They have great tasting, original flavors. I really like that the ice cream is not overly sweet. read more
This place is open relatively late, which is a plus. The food however, was sub-par for me. I got the Donut Sweet Stack with mint chip ice cream and Oreo crumbles on top. I'll start with the donut itself. The donut was already precut when they were making it in front of me and honestly tasted kind of stale. The ice cream was just okay and Oreos are ... Well, Oreos. I would pass on this place in favor of other dessert places if you aren't in the city for long. I gave it an extra star because it's visually appealing. read more
Great ice cream at this downtown gem! They make ice cream sandwiches, brownie sundaes waffle cones and more. On the recommendation of the staff i chose the dirty bird flavor which is also my favorite it was pretty good just wish it had more pecans in it and also had a scoop of the strawberry cheesecake ice cream that was sooo good! Definitely would recommend stopping by if you're in the downtown area for dessert read more

I love this place and go regularly. The servers are very kind and the flavors are so delicious! My only complaint was going up there this evening, and two girls were sitting behind the counter chatting while I knocked trying to figure out why the door was locked. They didn't even acknowledge me but I finally noticed a handwritten note on the door that said "Be right back. On break." No time of return. So I sat in the car for a few minutes hoping it's reopen soon. Still nothing, and decided to leave. I recommend adding a time of return so customers can be aware. Anyway, enjoy a photo of a past experience. read more

2nd time was a charm! 1st time to attempted to visit this location it was closed. Finally got to try the donut ice cream combo with Cuban coffee ice cream. So worth the wait. The ice cream was creamy and they even warm up the donut ice cream for you! Delish. My only complaint is the location and parking is not so convenient so we took it to go and ate in truck- Happily! read more
Really cute ice cream shop with a fun idea of eating ice cream not just the conventional in a cone kind of way, although you can get it that way as well here. They also offer stacking their delicious cold confections between your choice of brownie, cookies or DOUGHNUTS! Plus sample tastings of each flavor is encouraged and I love that they offer 2 choices for vegan ice "cream" fees as well. Big shout out to Kenny, Kevin and Pi for all around great customer service and warm southern charm as they helped us pick out the best combo for our sweet tooth. Will most definitely be back soon. read more
