The Roll Academy is an absolute must do Nashville Experience!! My family and I had so much fun learning about the history of Thai rolled ice cream and getting to create and roll our own custom flavors; they all tasted delicious. Bari was an amazing host, we’ll definitely be back!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Such a FUN Experience! We celebrated my daughter’s 18th birthday at Rolled Academy, and we had the BEST time! 🎉🍦 My daughter absolutely LOVES ice cream, so I knew this would be a must-do experience for her birthday—and it did not disappoint! Our instructor, AG, was AMAZING! She made the entire class fun, engaging, and enjoyable, and she did a wonderful job accommodating all 8 of us. We laughed, learned, made our own rolled ice cream, and created such a special birthday memory together. ❤️ The ice cream was delicious, and the experience made it even better! If you’re looking for something different and fun to do for a birthday, girls’ day, family outing, or just because, I HIGHLY recommend Rolled Academy! Tasty + Fun + Great Memories = 10/10! 🍨💕 Thank you, AG and Rolled Academy, for helping make my daughter’s Sweet 18 extra special! 🎂🎉🍦
