What is the best dessert in Franklin, TN?
It depends on your craving — and the area's favorite locally-owned dessert spots are all Jessie Approved partners. Go to The Cheesecake Dude for cheesecake, Cookie Fix Franklin for warm cookies, Itty Bitty Donuts & Specialty Coffee for fresh mini donuts, Chill-N Nitrogen Ice Cream for made-to-order ice cream, Lolly Gourmet Pops for artisan ice pops, and Halawa and Heat for Middle Eastern sweets. Each is hand-picked and open to everyone — a Jessie Approved membership simply unlocks a members-only discount when you visit.
How much does the membership cost, and how do I use it for dessert?
A cheesecake for the table, a box of cookies, or a round of ice cream often saves more than the $7.99 a month a membership costs — and the first month is free. At the counter, open the app and tap "Access Perk" (or show your digital card) and the members-only discount comes off.
Where can I get ice cream near Franklin & Brentwood, TN?
For ice cream and frozen treats, Chill-N Nitrogen Ice Cream in Brentwood freezes each order to order with liquid nitrogen, and Lolly Gourmet Pops in Franklin makes small-batch artisan ice pops. If you want something warm instead, Itty Bitty Donuts in Nolensville does fresh mini donuts and specialty coffee. All are locally-owned Jessie Approved partners, and members get their discount at each.
