    Sweet Republic is an adorable ice cream shop with a warm and welcoming vibe and an impressive variety of flavors to choose from. 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.

    The corner of 16th and Bethany Home might be the best in Phoenix between Hobe Meats and Sweet Republic! Sweet Republic serves some amazing ice cream that is delicious and the perfect consistency. As a calorie counter, I want my cheat food to be worth it, and this is definitely that! The waffle cones are perfect and taste like a pitzel, the burnt marshmallow is a nice touch, and the whip cream is light and tasty. I also really like their toffee and almond ice creams!

    I've been many times and never reviewed but every time I come I leave satisfied. I love their selection and I really like that each month they have different creations. I came wanting to try the sweet corn but ended up getting the ube. It was well balanced and not overly sweet which I liked. Service was good. You can order online as well and pick up at the window. Definitely will continue to come and support this local business.

    Came in around 7pm on a Monday night and we were the only ones there...until we weren't. At least 10 others walked in and it was suddenly a party! My husband got the Ultimate Sundae which has a little bit of everything - and he said it was great! I got 2 scoops in a waffle bowl - Mango Sticky Rice and Berry Cobbler - the Mango Sticky Rice...that was phenomenal! The Berry Cobbler was pretty tasty as well. Kids got the Buttermilk Strawberry & Cold Brew flavors and they were tasty!! It was a little pricy but the ice cream was delicious - we will be back!

    A good variety to pick from. I love seeing the new flavors they have out. The gals are always quick to help. Nice little hangout spot for small dates or catch-ups.

    Decided to stop by last minute as it was recommended by a friend and was not disappointed. I tried the brown butter pecan and it was simply perfect. Service was quick and friendly even though they were closing down for the night which was appreciated. Ambiance was laid back but they did have seating for you to sit down and enjoy your ice cream. Will definitely be back!

    A clean and simple lovely spot. I find no extraordinary thing but a conglomerate of loads of hard work that all comes together to make a worthy spot that I will definitely revisit. The flavors were lovely and the staff were there with no griping. Return I will!

    My mom was dying for good, hand scooped, ice cream and after seeing the reviews decided she wanted to try out Sweet Republic. This little shop is brightly lit, clean, and is painted fun and happy colors inside. Despite being crowded we were helped quickly by staff who were fast and efficient and got their line down quickly. Our ice cream was fantastic and flavorful and my mom loved loved loved her turtle sundae. Best ice cream spot we've tried so far. We'll definitely be back!

    Delicious ice cream and unique variety of flavors . The inside is small but they do have seating . Definitely recommend the huckleberry swirl and BLUE MOON ! I wouldn't get almond butter crunch again . It was more soggy than crunchy :) service was fast and kind . Plenty of parking and open late !

    This is my favorite ice cream shop in Phoenix!! Their ice cream is the perfect creamy consistency and they have a great selection of flavors. The service is always friendly and they gave me samples of two seasonal flavors I wanted to try. I ended up going with a scoop of the mango sticky rice and it was so yummy. I also really like their ice cream sandwiches or just getting a cookie to go with my ice cream. There's a few tables to sit at inside the shop and outside the shop. There's a decent sized parking lot. I will most definitely be back in the future for more ice cream!

    I love Sweet Republic's seasonal flavors, and I think they're even better than their normal offerings! Recently, I've enjoyed their mango sticky rice and matcha flavors. Note that you can pick up pints of your favorite flavors, as it is more cost effective than buying scoops!

    love the blue moon flavor, tastes like lemon plus fruit loops and fruity pebbles. also liked the dubai chocolate, thai tea, and mango sticky rice. the workers here were very friendly and let me sample a bunch of flavors. clean and cold place, great for a little break.

    We wanted some ice cream before heading to the airport and found this gem about 10-12 mins away. I got one of the sundaes with vanilla bean, banana, almond toffee and caramel in a waffle bowl. It was really good! I wish I could visit to get this more often! Definitely hit the spot, highly recommend! Place has a walk up window and is a simple ice cream shop. Service was quick and easy! *I saw that Alton Brown from the Food Network rated this sundae as his best ice cream concoction.

    Is the cream from grass-fed cows?

    Good question, Naomi! We source our cream from local Arizona dairies, some of which may be feeding their cows grass. So not exclusively.

What a great custom menu with lots of creative choices for ice-cream, ice-cream sandwiches, shake and floats, coffee and coffee desserts. Custom rotating flavors that we tried and sampled as we decided. Love how there's a secret back entrance to the ice cream parlor from Windsor Cocktail Bar next door. This is part of a cluster of good restaurants of different types along Central Avenue in Uptown. Parking available right in front of the entrance as well as around back in a private parking lot. I was so tempted by several items on the menu, but since I had just had a large lunch, I chose to try a single scoop of the Vietnamese coffee ice cream. So delicious and I loved the tiny specks of coffee. Hubs got a double scoop of strawberry ice cream, and my son got a strawberry shake. We all really enjoyed the interior and decor of the ice cream shop and the high-quality and good flavors of the ice cream. Service is really great here. The ladies were really working hard and going as fast as they could, and it didn't look easy scooping the large scoops of frozen hard ice cream. There was a line out the door on the Saturday afternoon that we showed up that moved quickly.

Ultimately this doesn't matter to me as I just want the ice cream. Today I was on my way to work and decided to treat myself to a coffee. Knowing that they're vegan, I thought non-dairy milk would be included. Nowhere was I able to find which milk was included in the price- so I asked for oat milk. I was charged NINTEY CENTS (.90) for an upcharge. Rather than saying oh it comes with soy milk, or hey it's a .90 cent upcharge, the barista just added it on no questions asked. I had reviewed the menu online and in the extras it does not include oat milk, which is why I assumed it came with it. My coffee ultimately came out to $9.16. What a joke. I will definitely not be coming back here for anything besides ice cream from here on out and even that is a hard maybe. I wish more places had pricing integrity- their website doesn't reflect it and neither did the barista. *edit to add the coffee is extremely sweet and milky, tastes more like sweet milk than a latte :(

I considered several options in Phoenix area to review, but I decided to go with the iconic Sugar Bowl in Old Town Scottsdale. It's been in business since the 1950's and has been a staple for 7 decades in Old Town. The inside is 1890's decor of pink & white wallpaper/decor like an old fashioned ice cream parlor. They have a bar area and standard seating. I remember I first went here when I was in high school in late 90's/early 2000's. Ice cream was always top notch. I used to get the Buster Brownie, which was this big brownie sundae with vanilla ice cream, goeey marshmallow topping, whipped cream, & cherry on top. It was awesome! I loved that way back then.

I had pecan ice cream and it hit the spot. I ordered a turkey BLT and it was really good. I brought it back to my hotel and nibbled on it for the next two days. I was shocked the bread was still decent. The lettuce bacon and turkey all held up as well. It looked just as fresh. I will definitely stop here again.
