If you have a sweet tooth, this is a great place to check out. Sweet Darlings has been a staple here in Seward for almost thirty years. They have gourmet chocolates, fudge and gelato that are all made in-house. They also serve coffee drinks. After a long day, I wanted something cool and sweet to enjoy before heading back to Anchorage. I grabbed a cup of Taro with Cookie and Butter Pecan gelato for the road. There is a lot of yummy stuff in this store. Sweet Darlings is located on the southern end of town near Hoben Park. read more

My husband and I visited this lovely gelato shop a few times on our recent trip to Seward. All the gelato flavors we tried were fabulous but the pistachio was an absolute stand out! Even better than the pistachio gelato we had in Italy last year!! Highly highly recommend. read more

If you ever visited Seward, AK, in the summer, you would know it could get hot. Luckily, Sweet Darlings in downtown Seward could be your solution. They had gelato and chocolate, but we really just want something to cool down. The gelato was ok, too sweet in our opinion and lacking some fruit flavors. It was good for what it was. Maybe we will also try chocolate the next time. read more

Came here for the gelato/sorbets and it was fantastic. Tons of great tropical flavors. I especially liked the guapa (guava and papaya) and the lychee. The pineapple was also very good as was the passion fruit. Never had trouble finding street parking nearby. Great place to get dessert. Service was efficient and fine. There's some limited seating inside. read more

The gelato is the best I've ever had, with a selection of flavors that changes daily. The fudge is to die for & chocolate pieces are equally tempting with so many flavors to choose from. They also have a small selection of unique gifts (puzzles, mugs, bookmarks,etc) that make the perfect quality souvenir. Whenever I find myself in Seward I always stop at Sweet Darlings because not only do they have delicious & tempting treats but also because of the great the staff that makes the experience so pleasant. read more

Nothing like our previous experience. The fudge was a HUGE disappointment. It was not gritty, smooth yes, but in the WRONG way. It had the texture of new play dough. I'd bet money that it had filler of some kind in it. It literally was lacking in the chocolately, buttery flavor you expect in fudge. TRULY BIZZARE. Clearly something has changed. Will be back to revisit other items, but absolutely AVOID the "fudge." read more

Love the ice cream. The flavors change so it's nice to have a variety each night. Definitely hidden Jimin through Alaska.

Solid gelato in Seward, AK! Note, flavor tasting is limited to two, which ordinarily wouldn't be bad, except Sweet Darlings had a bunch of flavors I don't usually encounter, so I would've liked to have been able to try more: instead I wound up with old standbys, which were good, but I think I should've done with the more inventive flavors at this dessert spot. read more

You can't beat the sweet treats you will experience here. So much to choose from and tastes amazing.

Service is great. I'm happy that you can at least try a couple of the gelato. The gelato was good we also got an affogato that was delicious. What's happening to put chocolate in there. Good spot to stop if you're in the area read more

OK, so it's a good place. Great service everything. The only downside is the wide variety of options for ice cream food but overall it's a solid 4.5 out of five read more

The gelato was great. We had the mango, cotton candy, coffee, and chocolate sorbet. All rich and creamy! Fun little stop. Lots of candy and snack choices as well. read more

I really liked the assorted chocolates o got. I tried French vanilla, cherry, coconut, honey lavender and mint. I got the gelato also, a double scoop of coffee and lavender. They tasted both awesome, especially the lavender gelato. I'll def stop in again when I'm back in town! read more

Nice gelato and candy shop. I've been by here several times when in town but hadn't tried it out. Great variety of flavors... they let you sample before you pick your flavors :) Big variety of candies and fudge as well. Bonus they report no artificial flavoring in the gelato. read more

Super cute sweet treat shop in Seward! They have all kinds of stuff....Kombucha, decadent chocolates, candies, gelato, sorbet! I was super excited that they had sorbet. I can't have dairy. So, I did the Mama Bear of Pomegranate and Lemon sorbets. This was the perfect sweet ending to a fun filled day. Folks are really nice here and we went back twice in the very short time we visited Seward. read more

I'm still catching up on reviews of the *many* great places we stopped at on our "2020" Alaska cruise (that got moved to 2021 and then to 2022 due to covid) that ended in Seward, last summer. I'm not completely sure how I failed to find such a highly-rated gelato shop in my pre-cruise research about Seward... normally craft ice cream shops are among the things I would look for before visiting a new town. In any case, Seward being a small town, I stumbled on it easily enough when we arrived there, and had to stop in. Only real complaint is that they only let you try tastes of two things, cause everything looked great. When I saw they had both lychee *and* ube, though I had to get those together. Though this was a few months ago, I wouldn't be surprised if the flavors now were totally different, but just in case they haven't... I'm a huge fan of both lychee and ube, they did both perfectly, and they're a fantastic combo! I'm kind of a snob about craft ice cream quality, as we have a similar quality shop down the street from us, so I can confirm, the ice cream here is as good as Long Beach Creamery, and that's high praise! (It was funny though, the label on the ube ice cream was "sweet yam" - when I asked what that meant, they said it was ube, but that people in Alaska don't know what ube is yet, haha. Meanwhile in Long Beach, ube is *everywhere* right now, and for good reason, cause it's great!) Was $5.50 for a "small" 2-scoop - you can get a "child" size for less, but only one flavor, and where's the fun in only one flavor? The "small" is a pretty good amount for one person, though. Not "cheap", but totally reasonably priced for the quality. Melted pretty quickly in the weirdly-warm Alaska weather of this past summer, though, so if I'd been smarter, I would've grabbed a couple more napkins! They also have a number of other desserts that all looked good, including a number of *very* reasonably priced truffles (at the time, at least, they were ~$1.35 each). Originally I just tried one - didn't really need a truffle on top of ice cream, but they had a whiskey chocolate, so I had to try it (it was great). Then I had to stop by the following day before we left to try a couple more, and they were great, too (the lavender one was particularly excellent.) They also have pretty good kombucha on draft for $5 if you're looking for something just as tasty but not nearly as sugary, haha. (Though I'm also turning into a kombucha snob - the kombucha wasn't quite as good as the truffles or ice cream. Still good though!) Anyway, if I were back in Seward (hopefully on another cruise!), for sure this is a place I would come back to. (Actually, thinking about it, if Wild Spoon happened to still be there, and still didn't have any good drinks, I'd probably at least come here for a craft kombucha to take down the street to Wild Spoon. :p Probably would have to come back for truffles and/or ice cream, too, though.) read more

My wife and I we're in the mood for some dessert the last time we came to Seward. We stumbled upon this place after reading the yelp reviews. The gelatos were a fair price. both the specialty flavors were delicious. They had a variety of different flavors to try. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area. read more

10/10 great atmosphere and best chocolate flavor I've ever had. the people were really nice toooooo

Stopped in on a whim because I was easily influenced by all of the people walking out with ice cream cones. Service was quick and attentive. I got a mama bear size (two flavors) with lychee and guapa (guava/papaya blend - OMG. truly inspired). Can we also talk about how incredible and unique these are as gelato flavors??? My husband said he "didn't want dessert" before we walked inside but once he had a bite he ended up stealing half my cup read more

Sweet Darlings - Gelato (lychee, guapa) - Gelato Near Me - Seward, Alaska

Sweet Darlings has been a regular stop for us in Seward for many years. In the last year, the original owners have also taken over again, which is so nice to see. We love that you can get small or large portions, whatever your heart and sweet tooth desires. This trip was a one pound trip and three different kinds of fudge, along with a latte and americano, both without sweetener! No need to sweeten when you have fudge! We went for Mount Marathon, Coconut and Caramel Nut this trip. Mount Marathon is a staple flavor and HIGHLY recommended... Coconut was awesome; having a thick layer of creamed coconut sandwiched between two layers of fudge and then there was the caramel nut... thick layers of Carmel and peanuts inside chocolate fudge. Holy moly all were wonderful. I find it unlikely that they wouldn't have a flavor you'd love! Sweet Darlings also has an ice cream case, homemade chocolates and saltwater taffy!! I highly recommend you make a stop when you're in town. Summer months, prepare yourself for a line. read more

Desperately needing to use the restroom but with limited options available, we found ourselves at Sweet Darling's. The owner was kind enough to let us use their restroom and since I have an insatiable sweet tooth, this could not have been a more serendipitous event. They offer a wonderful variety of chocolates, fudge, and other delicious confections. We ended up purchasing a pound and a half of salt water taffy in a variety of flavors and several individual pieces of both milk and dark chocolate. My favorite by far were the dark chocolate sea salt and the dark chocolate salted caramel. The prices were fair and the quality of confections was tremendous! Our sweet treats lasted us on our drive from Seward back to Anchorage. read more

Everything about this place is sweet. their homemade gelato is phenomenal!!! the attention to detail and creativity behind everything is neat to see. highly recommend stopping in read more

So many people walked by with this amazing Gelato so we had to try it and we weren't disappointed. Loved the variety of rich flavors and each one was so flavorful. Husband got the afagato and I got the strachietela (chocolate chip) and fruity pebbles. Yum! Definitely worth the stop even on a very cold rainy night. read more

Be warned, most of the bubble *milk tea* does not actually have tea. For example, I had the brown sugar "milk tea" but as soon as I got it, I knew it was just brown sugar milk. I've been burned by this in past and am usually careful about checking to see if it has actual tea in it but alas, it didn't. Even when I brought it up, they said the only "milk tea" that actually had tea in it were items with "tea" in the title. read more

So many flavors. The serving size is perfect if you order two scoops. And you can get two different flavors.

Stopped in when rain started and there was quite a crowd! Everyone was pleasant, more help came quickly, and the tea and coffee were just right. Cute place with some yummy choices. Glad we came here! read more

Absolutely wonderful gelato. Delicious fruit flavors -- I got pear and banana. Super friendly service, too!

We always try to find great gelato or ice cream when we travel. This place has great gelato. Definitely will be back!

They have such good gelato and such sweet workers and the owner are so sweet and have such good heart and the boba is so good too definitely recommend read more

All the workers were super friendly and helpful! Delicious gelato, it was so hard to pick because they had a lot of unique flavors. I also generally stopped liking saltwater taffy years ago, but their cotton candy and orange cream flavors are insanely delicious!!! I wish I would have tried the taffy before leaving town because I would have bought way more! Will come back on future visits! read more

Can I give this 6-stars? We literally tried to go every single day after we got our first taste on Day 1. Sadly, we only hit it twice because we went overboard at dinner one night and had NO room left. First, the flavors in the gelato were amazing. WE tried about 6 over them over the two days and were blown away. Second, two of us were lactose intolerant and somehow, they get a smooth texture and bold flavors in a NON-DAIRY gelato. I was skeptical when i first tasted it, and she assured me it was non-dairy. After a "good" night, my doubts were gone. Finally, the servers inside were really freindly and patient as we couldn't decide what to try. We even got a "welcome back" with a smile on our visit the 2nd day. This place is a "must hit" if you're in town. I'm wondering if they ship to the lower-48... read more
