There’s plenty of food to try throughout the concourse at McCamish Pavilion, but if you’re looking for a healthy option then Elise Ice Cream might be the right place. The homemade organic ice cream brand was started by Simone Elise Grier in July 2022 because she felt there needed to be a healthier ice cream option out there. Grier, a former competitive cheerleader, enjoyed ice cream and just wanted a healthier way to do so, according to her mother Sharon Gordon.
Gordon was manning the Elise Ice Cream station inside McCamish Pavilion on the morning of Saturday, Jan. 4. Gordon says Elise Ice Cream is “made with love” and is a family business.
“God gave her the vision when she was in college,” said Gordon.
Elise Ice Cream also serves cookies and brownies and those are also homemade. Along with having a stand on the main level at McCamish Pavilion, the business also sells ice cream during the football games at Bobby Dodd Stadium, according to Gordon. Elise Ice Cream first started doing business at the Morningside Farmers Market in Atlanta.
Along with the traditional vanilla and cookies and cream offerings, Elise Ice Cream serves coffee-flavored ice cream, peppermint chip, in addition to an assortment of flavors. Pints can be purchased at the farmers market while cups can be purchased at Georgia Tech sporting events.
There are seven more home games remaining on the Georgia Tech men’s basketball schedule, so there’s plenty of time to get down to McCamish Pavilion and try Elise Ice Cream. There’s always the Morningside Farmers Market too.
