We ordered the two-scoop special for under $8--strawberry cheesecake and Oreo ice cream. We were able to go straight to the pickup area and avoid the line, and our order was prepared right away. We enjoyed our ice cream while sitting off to the side. There are chairs and tables in an open area where kids can play, or you can simply relax and enjoy your treats. The location is in a plaza surrounded by other businesses like Grimaldi's Pizzeria, Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers, and Bath & Body Works, which makes it a nice spot to visit.

Hi Yelp friends. My hubby and I are visiting our daughter…read morein Peoria, Arizona for a few weeks this summer. We got here just in time for Father's Day. Yes, she said this is the place to go for the best ICE CREAM!!! Oh Yes! I ordered the banana cream pie, one scoop, on a cake cone. Yum! This is made with fresh bananas. Love it! They both ordered the Mint chocolate-chip, two scoops, on a cake cone. I, of course, had to help him from dripping, lol. I have to say, this was the Best! It is so good! Made with BIG pieces of chocolate. I am def gonna order this next time, and I want to try the cherry and the rocky road. We drove through the drive through after dinner and the sun was just going down. The staff that stands outside to take your order is so friendly, cheery, patient (it was my first time) , and helpful. They really do earn a little tip and they really do show their appreciation. There was a short line, but it moves quickly. They do have a cool covered patio area with tables and it is surrounded by misters. Doesn't that sound like an ice cream summer paradise?!? If you are in the area check it out! They also give you coupons when you visit for a discount, and more for your next visit. They have an app, so you can order ahead and earn rewards.

It just made me come on here to say I will be making this at home instead. Times are tough I'm all about supporting a small business but I can't keep coming back if the prices are not accurate to the menu or what was said. It's awkward to walk back in and say "hey why did you charge me 4.37 for a scoop of ice cream instead of $1 like you said.." rather than just letting it go. I'm sorry but I can just make this myself and save me way more money. I even tipped after the service didn't seem as friendly as usual. We come in all the time but today definitely made me consider counting all my "small pennies" and take a break on deserts. Probably help me lose some pounds and get a butt anyway lmao

My waffle came slightly burnt but my sandwich was still so good! There's a reason this place is always poppin. Novel is definitely an ice cream place of it's own. You just need to try it!

The staff are always great and make the experience welcoming for everyone. Also, the prices aren't bad at all either and they have a loyalty card.

I ordered a single scoop of the brown butter pecan ($5), and it was incredibly rich and well balanced with a perfect mix of nutty flavor and smooth sweetness. My husband tried the Dubai chocolate, and it truly lived up to the name. The chocolate flavor was spot on and the subtle texture from the phyllo added a really unique and enjoyable element that translated surprisingly well into ice cream form. There is plenty of seating available, which made it a great place to sit and enjoy our treats without feeling rushed. The staff was genuinely kind and friendly, which made the experience even better. This is definitely a spot we will be coming back to.

We went to Sweet Republic after dinner for a pallet cleanser and saw the reviews and stars and was excited to drop by. The store itself was simple and had the feel of a regular ice cream parlor with bright colors and board full of possibilities. It seems that the selection is pretty diverse offering a nice selection of flavors that are "off the beaten path" such as crème brûlée, brown butter pecan, and salted caramel, along with normal ice cream staples. These were "fine" but not earth shattering. When we walked in there were three teens behind the counter and no welcome or really even acknowledgment of our existence other than we were in line. Despite the collection of flavors we seemed to annoy them and "put them out" asking to try some of the flavors. The truly disappointing part was the lack of generosity of the scoops. It is $4.50 for a single scoop and it is just that a scoop. One slide of the spoon and what ever fills the bowl of the spoon is what you get. So each scoop was a touch bigger than a golf ball. At the End of the Day, I don't like comparing but I'm used to the Valleys selection of Handels franchises where they are generous with their scoops (they brag about it) and generous with their customer service and friendliness. No need to come back with better offerings near by!
