Frosty Caboose

Found this place here on Unilocal and decided to give it a try. The banana split was so yummy and the portion size of a double scoop cake cone was so big. The environment around this establishment was family friendly, we sat behind the caboose and enjoyed our ice cream.

Yum! You get a lot of bang for your buck! Love this place wish there was more searing but it’s a really fun place to visit. The turtle ice cream was great!

We were craving ice cream and found this place by pure chance. What a find! When we got here, the line was relatively long, but we decided to stay seeing that the passing ice cream looked amazing and the service was quite quick.
I had a waffle cone with one scoop of cookies and cream, and my wife had a waffle cone with a scoop of mint chocolate chip. One scoop was more than enough as they are huge!
We took our ice cream and sat on a bench watching the trains go by.
What a lovely afternoon.

Awesome spot. Love the caboose. Ice cream is rich and firm. Loved it w the family. I had pistachio and coconut. Just right.

I had 4 scoops of ice cream from Frosty Caboose in a 13 hour time span… I am now worried about diabetes but I think I will come back for some more anyways.
I really enjoyed the low key, casual atmosphere surrounding Frosty Caboose. It is located in a quiet area and there is plenty of parking. Well quiet when trains are not running by that is. Their offerings also come in big portions and are very affordable. A great date place!
The flavors I tried were the Pistachio, Superman (3 colored Vanilla), Banana Pudding, and Coffee Almond Fudge. My favorite was the Pistachio but I found all three to be delicious.
I look forward to trying them all ~!! Screw diabetes. Exercise!

The Frosty Caboose is a very cute ice cream shop located in downtown Chamblee. The shop itself is an actual train caboose. They serve Greenwood Ice Cream at their shop. They have just about everything: sundaes, banana splits, Belgian waffles & ice cream, brownie sundaes, shakes, malts, floats, and more. They do rotate their flavors, so be on the lookout for something different/​special.
We got 2 waffle cones with 2 flavors each. I got the coconut and green tea and my friend got the sea turtle and birthday cake. It was a total of $ 8.50. Their portions were very generous, I was not able to finish my waffle. Next time, I will ask for a split single scoop. I definitely enjoyed my flavors and so did my friend. He was very pleased with his choices.
We arrived about 15 minutes prior to closing time but the staff was still friendly and did not give us any attitude or tried to rush us along. Thank you for that!

We love Frosty Caboose! Anytime we are in the area, we stop by for a tasty treat. The portions are basically two scoops for the price of one, and the treats have always been satisfying. I usually get Pralines and Cream, Peppermint, or one of the Sorbets on a sugar cone. So good!

Big scoops and inexpensive cones. Tasty ice cream. Rotating flavors. Better than Bruster’s!

They have a pretty decent sundae with good toppings. I like that it’s so close, and it’s pretty inexpensive as well!

Literally, THE BEST ice cream place I have ever been to. It doesn’t matter how cold it is, I frequently come to Frosty for some ice cream. They have a wide variety of flavors, my favorites are butter pecan and almond amaretto, and the option to get it in a waffle cup, which I always get. I highly recommend this place and I guarantee it’s worth the drive just to come here.

Great ice cream and good location to watch planes come in to Peachtree Dekalb airport. Green tea, salted caramel, egg nog, chocolate peanut butter, and coffee almond fudge flavors were all enjoyed by our family.

What a cute place! Fantastic ice cream and the line moves quickly! Pretty expensive for what it is though… ya know, ice cream? Do they really need to charge that much? But I love the name and serving out of a train cart is pretty darn cute…

Large potion, great service, first time ever I found a train carriage ice cream shop =) I had choco flavor, my friend had green tea, both reaaaaaaallllly tasty! First timers could got BOGO coupon from Scout mob =) great deal

Super good service. Their frozen yogurt and sherbet is the best ever! Prices are high but is worth it.

Love this place! Good selections of flavors and sundae toppings!
I’ve been more times than I’d care to admit, but I love the lemon custard! I’d suggest getting it in a sundae, with raspberry topping and graham cracker topping. Soo good!

You can get two flavors with a one scoop option. The one scoop is more like two since it is fairly large. The best part is that it’s only $ 3.25.
The green tea and pistachio were good as I got those. My friend said the coffee almond fudge is pretty good. My heart was set on that, but I got the choices the bf wanted. :)
This place is sort of like a food truck so you can’t chill inside the building since there isn’t any.

I really enjoyed our dessert here. I was particularly impressed with the Banana Pudding ice Cream. It had pie crust bits that weren’t soggy! Amazing! Very tasty and good ice cream.

It’s always special when you find a little bit of magic in a big city.
Literally a caboose train car, dripping with what looks like melting ice cream, The Frosty Caboose is bound to catch your eye and win your heart.
This tiny ice cream shop is tucked away from the hubbub of Peachtree Ind., but only a block off and a short walk from the Chamblee MARTA station, so it is certainly accessable.
Their ice cream flavors are a step above the norm, offering flavors such a green tea, lemon custard, pistachio and «superman” — but they’ve got the old favorites too! Although I’ve just discovered the place, word round these parts says they have CINNAMON ICE CREAM sometimes– which should be important information to everybody since cinnamon ice cream is clearly the supreme flavor of all the flavors.
And the ice cream is good. Like really good.
They don’t offer indoor seating, but there’s plenty of outdoor seating (and you can sit on the train!!!) — just bring your bug spray.
I highly recommend it for a weeknight activity, date night, or simply to satisfy your saturday afternoon ice cream craving.

An Ice Cream shop with an identity. Tucked in small parking lot on a not so busy street surrounded by some stores selling antiques, this place brings out the kid in you. However old you get Frosty Caboose will make you get your ice cream and make you lick the dripping sweet cream like you did when you were a kid.
The added attraction is to see the trains roll by while you enjoy your ice cream.

I can’t for the life of me understand why this place has such good reviews. The ice cream was bland and not really sweet. It just tasted like I was eating very cold cream. The location is cool and we sat by the tracks while we ate, but I’ve had store ice cream better than this.

So yummy, my friend and I got the train crack… so chocolaty. .almost 2 much fudge. We could only eat about half. My friend got 2 scoops on a waffle cone. Huge scoops. Prices are good for what u get. People were nice.

So glad I read Unilocal and so glad I went here! Cutest little icecream stop and the icecream is delish!
I asked if the Coal Train sundae or a waffle cone would be better and the cashier was honest, he said I would enjoy the flavor of icecream more without toppings, I went for the waffle cone & was very satisfied.
I would definitely come back & bring friends if I lived in the area. Great job Frosty Caboose & the name is adorable!

If I could only make this home away from home! #HEAVEN
They have a great menu, but we are stuck on our banana splits. Sure we mix up the flavors and toppings, but we do not stray from our favorite.
The only thing missing from this establishment are picnic tables…

The first time I came here was in 2013 on a sweet date with the sweetest guy for the sweetest ice cream. They serve Greenwood Ice Cream, which is located just down the street and is the best ice cream I’ve ever had. Usually, Greenwood only services restaurants, but since Frosty Caboose is a restaurant…
I never realized I neglected to review how awesome Frosty Caboose was until I noticed I also hadn’t been back here since that date. What a shame! It was a slightly brisk night, but that didn’t deter us from our ice cream mission. It was open until 10 on Sunday night so we took our time getting there. Sure enough all the lights were lit and the sign shown bright in the night sky. Honestly I believe this area is such a cute and romantic area, but I decided to bring my friends to the sacred ice cream train car.
The walkway winds you up to the counter, where the bored but friendly server let’s you sample the different flavors, which seem to change with whatever they have in stock. After trying quite a few, I decided on the Coffee Almond Fudge, three of my favorite things in a scoop of ice cream. I got the sugar cone, which I prefer to a cake cone, with a single scoop for 3.25. I was surprised to see more than just a single scoop on my cone (maybe it was the small tip I left in the tip jar)!
You can also check in on the little number pad they have. Each time you check in you get a discount or free item. My offer was discounted hot dog, but it was after 8pm by then, which is when they stop serving them. No matter, I was still stuffed from dinner.
No bathroom in sight, but I didn’t intend to stay here long enough to use the restroom. I had a good time hanging out by the caboose and the tracks with my friends. An awesome after dinner hangout for the adventurous — aka, willing to brave the outdoor climate, whether hot or cold or pollen-​infested, for some damn good ice cream.

Awww, such a cute ice cream place in Chamblee. Chamblee seems to be growing every day, and this addition was nice for the kids AND the adults. I like the aesthetic of the caboose being on train tracks. The ice cream flavors are creative and awesome here too. One of their flavors is called Chocolate Fetish: P Chef Justin White and I were able to try some of their flavors and toppings. Chef Justin White enjoyed the birthday cake flavor. I liked the raspberry tart. We both mutually agreed the chocolate peanut butter was good too, just not our favorite. The reeses pieces and oreo pieces were a good add-​on for the top. My only complaint was there wasn’t really a place to sit down and mosquitos were frustrating: P and lots of kids running around isn’t my favorite scene, but I guess at least I know to expect that: D. Some sacrifices for good ice cream are worth making. ;)

«It’s so cute… this would be a great place for a date… especially at night. Why can’t guys think of stuff like this?» All of this ran through my mind as I pulled up. Then I got emotional and wanted to eat… sigh.
I found out about this spot from a Scoutmob deal and a certain reality show that shall remain nameless lol. Frosty Caboose has tons of flavors, creations, and even serves hot dogs and nachos.
I had the brownie sundae with two scoops. 2 brownie bites, one scoop of birthday cake ice cream, one scoop of pralines and cream, strawberry topping, caramel, whipped cream and a cherry on top. The bday cake was awesome as was the pralines and cream. I will be back… perhaps with a date.

I fell in love with this cute little place the moment we arrived.
I think the idea of an ice cream spot in an old caboose is hilarious and adorable. The ice cream was great too!
They had all these options for crazy sundaes and Gigantic banana splits but I decided on pistachio and coconut! Delicious.
Bf got mint chocolate chip (what he always gets-​anytime-​anywhere-​anyday) on a sugar cones.
Next time I’m having a craving or a partner to eat a huge fidget sundae with I’ll be back!

After another looooooong day at work, I needed my Saturday afternoon pick-​me-​up which is a milk shake, because if I drank alcohol after work on Saturdays… I would need to be checked into an AA program…
I typically like to try an establishment’s shakes to see if they pass the ice cream test and since I was in the area, I finally decided to cross something off my bookmark list, so off to the Frosty Caboose I went.
It was’t hard to find this little red train car after plugging the directions into my phone, but this is definitely outta my way from Marietta, so stopping by would definitely be when I’m in the area. I looked over the menu a bit, mainly to see the prices… 4.80 $ for a 16oz shake. I placed my order and stepped to the side as I watched a guy make it in that tiny space… (how do they work in there, it’s so small!!!). And after a few minutes I was down the road with shake in hand.
This was a great chocolate shake, and many of my props go for the greenwood ice cream they use!!! The look of the shake is a bit misleading, it looks lumpy, but baby that shake is all smooth! And if it was possible to inject chocolate directly into the brain… this shake was the way to go!
Parking was fine as I was there early during the day, but people were popping up left and right, so I can imagine it’s busier later in the evenings. Service was fine soooo yeah… Other than that I’m a fan and next time I go back maybe I’ll remember to use the scout mob app…

It’s high time that I give my opinion of this place and what better encouragement than a «scoop» of green tea and mango ice creams to get the review-​writing juices flowing?
I moved into the neighborhood almost a year ago and have been stopping by whenever the craving for ice cream gets the best of me. Learning that they serve locally-​churned Greenwood Ice Cream just heightened my curiosity and admittedly, a Scoutmob deal was what sealed the deal. (Wow, I am on a roll with clichés tonight…)
Since I have a hard time deciding (ever heard of «analysis paralysis»?), I have asked to sample lots of flavors and between just getting a small spoonful or actually ordering a cup, I’ve tried pistachio, black cherry, mango, birthday cake, cookies ‘n cream, butter pecan, chocolate chip cookie dough, raspberry sorbet, and pralines and cream froyo. The last two were sweeter than I would have liked, both frozen treats usually being a bit more tangy than ice cream itself. I truthfully detected no tartness in the sorbet and frozen yogurt that I tried.
But let me tell you about my two favorites, having become my usual: green tea and peach. The peach is better than than the mango, so opt for the former if you’re on the fence. Georgia is the peach state after all, so the ice cream has fresh chunks throughout. While I respect Dona N.‘s opinion, I must gracefully disagree about the green tea flavor. I’m not a true connoisseur, but I happen to be a pretty big fan of matcha and buy tins of the stuff and prepare it at home complete with a bamboo whisk. While the flavor may be weaker than other matcha desserts, this ice cream flavor is certainly matcha green tea. I like its earthy quality paired with a fruity ice cream. You do what you want, but I usually go for the peach. The black cherry could be good too.
Service is very friendly. No worries about paying with your card for just a (not-​so-​skimpy) single scoop (which can be split into 2 flavors – woo-​hoo!). I got a cake cone on top of my mound of ice cream tonight and it is just like the ones my mom would get from the grocery store. These are like the red-​headed stepchildren of the ice cream cone family, but I open my arms wide to embrace them. Warmly in my belly.
Yummy ice cream with amazing local flavor. You will find families here even as they are coming up on their closing time on weeknights, which is awesome. The Frosty Caboose is just one other place that makes me love Chamblee.
