Greg Zearfoss, owner of Sweet Zensations,
takes soft serve seriously. Zearfoss travels
around metro Atlanta dishing out creamy soft
serve with one part-time employee and his ice
cream cone character named Zen.
In 2019, Zearfoss bought his truck and
began phasing out of corporate life to run his
own ice cream food truck. Last year, Zearfoss
started to really get involved with Sweet
Zensations, serving ice cream at parades,
celebrations, private events and even movie
sets. At first, the Sweet Zensations website
allowed customers to book his ice cream truck
online, but he had to remove the feature when
he started receiving too many bookings.
Zearfoss’ ice cream isn’t just like any old ice
cream. His soft serve is high quality. Much to the
disappointment of those on a diet, good ice cream comes
down to the amount of butter fat that’s in the dairy, he said.
Zearfoss’ soft serve has more than most ice cream places,
which makes it richer and creamier, he said.
“That’s really what dierentiates Sweet Zensations, is just
the quality, and then we have really good customer service,”
Zearfoss said.
Customer service is his next priority. Zearfoss realizes how
important it is to provide good, friendly customer service. He
said he always tries to make customers feel appreciated and
spends time talking to them, and he makes sure to oer the
same courtesy to four-legged customers. Zearfoss oers free
doggy sundaes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a doggy
biscuit as the crown jewel.
They make each cup and cone to order with a soft serve
machine inside the truck. Zearfoss oers special occasion
sundaes every so often, like a Surf’s Up Sundae he made in
October with coconut and papaya, but his three classic
sundaes can’t be missed.
“We really want to make it something memorable,” Zearfoss
said. “So that’s really what has generated our success is just
kind of being dierent and giving people something that they
really can’t find any place else.”

Owner: Ashley Carlton
Menu items: Snickerdoodle Deep Dish with salted caramel ice cream, a cookie
sandwich (double chocolate ice cream with Smoky Mountain fudge) and Bourbon
True Shakes
Despite its misleading name, Not as Famous Cookie Company dishes out
cookies and ice cream to movie and television stars around metro Atlanta. The
cookie food truck may be serving sweets to a private event one weekend and
working on film sets like Stranger Things, Ozark and Black Adam the next, owner
Ashley Carlton said.
Carlton grew up around his father’s amazing cookie flavors. When he opened his
food truck in 2015, Not as Famous Cookie Company became a big enough success
that they opened a brick and mortar restaurant to go with it and added a second
food truck.
