Celebrities scream for ice cream just as much as the rest of us, especially when there’s a Sweet Charlie’s nearby. Chad Michael Murray and family recently stopped by the Buckhead Sweet Charlie’s store, and his wife and son split an order of the handmade vanilla ice cream rolls all spiffy with sprinkles.

Philadelphians and Mid-Atlantic beachgoers rave about Sweet Charlie’s. Atlantans are experiencing the same ‘screamy sensation with the spring opening of Atlanta’s first Sweet Charlie’s shop at 3872 Roswell Road in Buckhead. The Sweet Charlie’s pros hand roll ice cream and frozen sensations to order and serve in a multitude of base, flavor and topping combinations. Hand rolling on a super cold surface (below 20 degrees Fahrenheit) gives the cold shoulder to the need for added stabilizers, emulsifiers or preservatives. Opt for a base of premium ice cream, nonfat yogurt or vegan Nada-Moo. Choose flavor themes such as Rise & Shine Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Off Duty coffee and doughnut, Kiss & Tell mint Oreo, Wonder Filled Oreo, S’more Please, Namaste strawberry cheesecake, Love Park chocolate/pretzel/peanut butter, So Cal acai/honey/coconut/banana, Monkey See Monkey Do Nutella/banana or sinful Death by Chocolate. Next, decide between rolled and slipped into a cup or laid out on a signature Sublime glazed doughnut. Go top-it crazy (they’re included) with blueberries, bananas, strawberries, roasted marshmallow, honey, chocolate or caramel drizzles, whipped cream, sliced almonds, Oreo cookies, graham crackers, M&M’s or rainbow sprinkles. The Thai-inspired frozen phenomenon wears a $7 price tag, including tax and unlimited toppings. The Buckhead store rolls its signature creams beginning at 12:30 p.m. daily until 10:30 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Sweet Charlie’s Rolls Ice Cream Experience into Buckhead Late Spring

Sweet Charlie’s, the Philadelphia-based/Thai-inspired, rolled ice cream and yogurt phenomenon rolls its first-ever franchise location into Buckhead (3872 Roswell Road, next to Superica) this spring. The young brand features the hand-rolled, made-to-order dessert sensation Forbes recently dubbed “the cool new trend in Asian sweets.” Sweet Charlie’s is the brainchild of 19-year-old entrepreneur Kyle Billig, who learned about Thai-rolled ice while watching a video and teamed up with older brother Jacob to Americanize the treat. Order and watch American showmanship kick in to create a one-of-a-kind treat based on either premium ice cream, nonfat yogurt or the company’s Nada-Moo vegan option, served in a cup or one of Sweet Charlie’s signature oven-baked glazed donuts and capped with one of its signature flavors or toppings. Because the creation-making surface is below 20 degrees, there is no need to add stabilizers, emulsifiers and preservatives. According to CFO Steve Billig, “In Philadelphia, people stand in line in the freezing cold for our rolled ice cream.” Wow. Just imagine the thrill for Sunbelt ice s’creamers!
