Rock Salt Milk Bar
We make all natural ice cream, and baked goods in our store using ingredients that are either organic or natural with no additives. We use local when available, and all natural when local is not an option.
That is not to say that you can't have an Oreo milkshake. It will just be made with the best, all natural, ice cream, and freshly made cookies!
Come to 8 E Washington Street in Newnan and give us a try. We look forward to your comments, good and bad. They only help us to be better.
History of the Building:
Located at 8 E Washington Street, Rock Salt Milk Bar is a delightful ice cream shop that serves quality ice cream in downtown Newnan. Known for its distinctive white and blue exterior, it’s a standout building among the historic buildings. Built originally as a private residence in 1900, 8 East Washington Street was such until 1918, when Ellis Mansour opened his Dry Goods Store at this location. This marked the beginning of its commercial use. Following the Dry Goods Store, in 1949, Watt’s Grocery Market called 8 East Washington Street its home. The building continued to evolve, and in 1967, I was repurposed as Newnan Florist & Gift Shop. The mid-1970s brought a new occupant, Hamilton & Company Furniture into the building, before it became Two Sisters Restaurant in the 1990s. During the 2000s, the building was used as additional seating and event space for the neighboring restaurant for only a few months until it was solely the ice cream shop. Today, since 2017, Rock Salt Milk Bar continues the tradition of vibrant local businesses, adding a delicious twist to the building’s history.
