MORELLI'S

Morelli's has been making ice cream in Atlanta since 2008, when Donald Sargent and his wife Clarissa Morelli opened the original shop on Moreland Avenue in East Atlanta. The counter at CTR Food Works is one of four Morelli's locations in the city, and like the others it works off a flavor list that changes.

Salted Caramel is popular enough to have earned its own standing note on the Morelli's site: the texture does not hold up in an ice cream cake, so they turn it into a pie instead. Everything around it rotates. A day at the CTR counter might bring Ube, Pecan Praline, Mocha Almond Fudge, Strawberry Shortcake, Cotton Candy or Vanilla Raspberry Truffle, with non-dairy scoops like Butter Pecan and Mint Chip alongside. The range runs stranger, too: Blueberry Corncake and Coconut Jalapeño are both Morelli's flavors. What is on the board varies by location and by day, so check the day's list before you come.

Scoops are not the whole menu. Morelli's also makes milkshakes, sundaes and pints, plus ice cream cakes and pies ordered through the original Ormewood store. Every location is cashless, so bring a card or your phone.
