All About Tradewinds Ice Cream & Coffee of Savannah, Georgia
We moved from Los Angeles to Savannah, GA in May of 2005. Mat, originally from Virginia Beach and Debbie, originally from New Jersey, wanted to settle down closer to family and escape the hustle and bustle of LA. We chose Savannah because of the warm weather, proximity to the beach, gracious nature of the people, and the historical significance of the city. Before opening Tradewinds, Deb was in restaurant management/ event sales and Mat was a yacht captain for a private family. But the ice cream was calling.
Tradewinds opened October 1, 2005 and it%27s been a whirlwind ever since. Our goal with Tradewinds is to create a place and a feeling that hopefully becomes a significant part of our community. The idea of the aloha spirit and ohana (extended family that cares for each other) is behind what we are trying to do. Everyone is welcome, everyone is appreciated, and if we all just look out for each other a little bit, we can make a big difference. So come visit us and join the Tradewinds ohana. And remember, whether you%27re 5 or 50, it%27s o.k. to get chocolate all over your face. We%27ve got plenty of napkins.
