Sweet Life is very cute shop in Chula Vista that has a good selection of unique and classic flavors of ice cream. The inside has a few arcade games and some board games for guests which makes it a nice spot to spend some time. It was pretty quiet when we visited (a Tuesday afternoon) but the cashier was very polite and welcoming. read more

We stumbled upon this spot while walking to another restaurant we originally planned to visit for dinner. Instead of getting dessert there, we decided to stop here--and I'm glad we did. The space is really charming, with cute decor and thoughtful touches like Connect Four and checkers on the tables. The ceiling flowers add a nice aesthetic, and we were warmly greeted as soon as we walked in. There was a good variety of ice cream and sorbet flavors. I chose the coffee in a cone, while my husband went with strawberry in a cup. My ice cream had a slightly icy texture rather than the creamy consistency I was expecting. The coffee flavor was present but a bit subtle. Overall, it was still enjoyable. The strawberry also leaned a bit icy and firm; I would have preferred a smoother, creamier texture. The flavor was there but not as punchy. Overall, I thought the place was decent. I always like supporting local neighborhood businesses, so I'm glad we discovered it and gave it a try. I would give it a 3 1/2 star. read more

After a hard day of work at the Beautify Chula Vista event, I decided to treat the kids to some well-deserved ice cream, and Sweet Life Ice Cream and Treats was just the spot! This place had always caught my eye, but we hadn't ventured in until now--and I'm so glad we did. The first thing that stood out was the friendly service. The girl working behind the counter was super welcoming and let us know that they serve ice cream from Niederfrank's. No more need to drive all the way to National City--we've got quality, locally-made ice cream right here on Third Ave! The ambiance is fun and perfect for families, especially with young kids like mine (3 and 6 years old). There's a small kid's play area that kept them entertained, and they could even peek over at the neighboring salon and watch people get haircuts, which they found pretty amusing. We tried the pistachio, and the kids went for some refreshing sorbet. The ice cream was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor-- everything you'd expect from Niederfrank's. Sweet Life is the perfect little spot for families and ice cream lovers alike. We'll definitely be back! read more

A Sweet Spot You'll Keep Coming Back To! I stopped by SweetLife Ice Cream while waiting for my husband to get a haircut next door, and I'm so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by a cozy, inviting atmosphere with plenty of seating both inside and out -- even a super cute kids' area! The decor is beautiful, thoughtful, and full of charm. The customer service was excellent -- the young ladies working there were friendly, professional, and offered samples with a smile. I ended up going with the pistachio, strawberry, and banana flavors -- all delicious, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Even though I came alone this time, I can't wait to return and enjoy it with my husband. SweetLife Ice Cream Shop is the kind of place that leaves a sweet impression and keeps you coming back. If you're in Chula Vista, do yourself a favor and stop by. You won't be disappointed! read more

Generally a nice place when I've visited in the past, but I had a bad experience yesterday (Friday 4/10) with customer service. A young brunette lady told us they were out of every beverage we asked for, including bottled water. But later on we saw her give a guy a bottle of water. And she refused to make coffee when I ordered it, even though coffee is clearly available on the menu and I've had it there in the past. She just said "not today." She didn't say they were out of coffee or that there was a problem with the machine. Just "not today." It seemed like she was being too lazy to make a pot of coffee. I wanted to leave a better review, but the customer service was so bad this time. It really left a sour taste in my mouth. The ambiance and games are a nice touch, and there are some tasty ice cream flavors. But I kind of don't want to return and be helped by her or someone with the same attitude as her. I'm hoping some constructive criticism reaches her and management, because this place could be really sweet if customer service improves. read more

Awesome spot! Owners are a young couple--SUPER nice people. Can't beat the ice cream. Five stars.

Came here for the Taste of Third and I am so glad I did! The guava sorbet was sooooooo good! I can't wait to go back to purchase it and also try other vegan options they have to offer!!!! Service was great! Very friendly staff! read more

Although the gentleman working behind the counter was nice, I was very disappointed that I drove all the way here and there was little to no ice cream available; most of the tubs were completely empty and apparently they didn't have other tubs in the back. The only thing I remember seeing available out of all the many containers, was chocolate chip and maybe one or two others with a little ice cream left. read more

Service is exceptional. Guy behind the counter is super friendly. Guava sorbet is pretty special. Took my boys and they loved the cornhole board in the corner. Ambiance is informal. They take care of little doggie pups too. Lots to love about sweet stop. Recommend stopping here after dinner on 3rd. read more

First time here! Definitely will be back especially because of the GREAT customer service from Erik!! And the ice cream is DELICIOUS!!! Highly recommend!!! read more

The lady look kind of annoyed because of the amount of samples I got she had a nice attitude but I could tell she was a bit annoyed. The ice cream was good the prices were kind of overpriced. Overall mid experience I could go to better places. Plus the size of the sample was microscopic. read more

Very good but a bit pricey the taste is immaculate and great flavor but my personal favorite is mazapán!!!

The customer service here made me walk out along with the bad smell. I walked in and there was no one inside the shop and the girl working with brown curly hair looked so annoyed and didn't even greet. I asked for a sample before purchasing the ice cream and she said nothing but processed to give a sample. Customer service put a bad taste in my mouth so I walked out. read more

Good selection and extremely helpful staff! A pleasant sight in growing downtown Chula Vista!

The smiles start here. I went exploring this saturday afternoon for the perfect chill spot, within biking distance. I needed a place to fill my stomach, soothe my ears and keep my buzz buzzed. Sweet Life did just that. The menu ranges from ice cream, coffee, fresh deli, soft drinks, acai smoothies, cookies, cake, espressos, really good cheese ... they even serve power blasting protein mixes. I was really pleased with the house special: a three meat layer sandwich with rich spread and lettuce to last a lifetime. Named "the Sweet life", this monster punched my face with damn-good-yummy-satisfaction. The Cowboy Coffee was better than your average joe. Not burnt, not bad. You can also build your own sandwich. Im not going to post the selections and choices...damn thing is a page long...but the pickings are plentiful. Fries and Salad too! There is outside, enclosed seating, as well as inside seating. Music can be played at request if not already playing. The lighting could use a slight change, just for atmosphere. I definitely gotta make it back. read more

Alright, Sweet Life serves everything! Pre- " invented " sandwich combos, as well as a do- it- yourself sandwich option. They serve ALL sorts of dreyers ice cream. Some that even follow seasons, like in October - - - Pumpkin --- which if I may add tastes JUST life Pumpkin Pie, Peppermint for Christmas ET cetera They make smoothies with Red Bull, Fruits AND Acai. Acai is a Brazilian fruit, & not many places offer it, so having something so rare and unique in our area just lets you know what kind of place Sweet Life is - - ONE OF A KIND ! The layout is small but cozy, good for summer and winter. Breezy during the hot san Diego days, hanging out with a refreshing drink, or warm enough to stay inside and order a hot chocolate made from the Mexican and delicious Abuelita chocolate ! The price is higher than the "norm", but the amount served balances the pay. I highly recommend, I'm very fond (: read more

I really like this Deli, it feels as if your at your own home, enjoying a rocky road waffle cone. Ive been here on afternoons after studying at the library and this place definitely brings down the stress from school. Very relaxing environment, 3rd ave ambiance is great to relax, at least for me. The service is good, the ice cream is scrumptious and it's definitely a good spot to relax after a day of hard studying. read more

Just passing by, they're new, just opened. Healthy deli sandwiches (cold only), tasty smoothies and yummy ice cream. Fresh fruit specials and breakfast menu. read more

I love this place. Service I awesome and the food tasty!!
