This ice cream shop has been on my list for a while, and I finally got the chance to try it--it definitely did not disappoint! We sampled a few different flavors and ultimately went with a two-scoop cup of black sesame and ube (the main reasons I wanted to visit), plus a two-scoop cup of Blue Moon and peach. The black sesame had a very strong, rich flavor with a slightly grainy texture that I absolutely loved, you can tell they use real, high-quality ingredients. The ube was incredible and had that authentic, natural ube aroma. It's so hard to find ube desserts that don't taste artificial or rely on weird purple food coloring, but this one nailed it. My husband got the Blue Moon and peach, which were both super refreshing and perfect for summer. Best of all, none of the flavors were not too sweet! I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu! read more

Sweet Republic is easily one of the best dessert spots around. The flavors are creative without being overcomplicated, and everything tastes high quality. The texture of the ice cream is super smooth and rich. It's the perfect place to stop after dinner or just when you're craving something sweet. Definitely worth it. read more

Was craving something sweet and the pictures on their website looked yummy. I got two sundaes with crème brûlée ice cream, pecans, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, and whipped cream. It was $23 for two and a bottled water. They had chairs outside so we could sit and enjoy the weather. Staff was very nice. read more

We were itching for a sweet treat after some errands. After scouring Yelp, we found Sweet Republic. We both opted for their build your own sundae option, which consists of two scoops of ice cream, a topping, and a sauce. I chose buttermilk strawberry and almond buttercrunch for my ice creams and topped it with hot fudge and toffee. I was really happy with my creation. The toffee is made in house and it is AMAZING. The shop itself was very cute and we were able to snag a table to enjoy our ice cream. I sure wish they had a west valley location! read more

Sweet Republic - My BYO Sundae - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Tried Sweet Republic and overall it was a really good ice cream stop. The flavors were rich, creamy, and tasted super fresh

My husband and I stopped in for a little sweet treat. We decided to try the Dubai chocolate sundae since that combination is so so popular and I love both chocolate and pistachio. The sundae is quite pricey - 16 dollars but it was filling and even though we split it between the two of us, we could've probably shared with another 1-2 people. It is their Dubai chocolate ice cream - pistachio and chocolate ice creams with chocolate covered pistachios and shredded phyllo inside a crispy waffle cup and topped with rich chocolate fudge, pistachio cream, whipped cream, and toasted pistachios. The ice cream was delicious - so creamy and the flavors were rich. Overall, it was delicious and I would come back to try some of the other flavors! read more

Sweet Republic - Dubai Double Chocolate Sundae - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Really great ice cream shop... really friendly staff the ambience is great open well lit and clean. The young lady who helped me get my milkshake was very friendly and cordial and professional. The only downside I see from this place is the expense. The ice cream is very expensive but then again it is all handmade in the store so you can't fault them too hard for that. I would however say that it would be nice if they had discount or specials ever once in a while that would be need the salted caramel milkshake I had was excellent. I also managed to scoop up a pint of Dubai, chocolate and pistachio ice cream, which is excellent. I certainly look forward to returning again. They have many unique flavors and combinations as well as toppings. I look forward to trying one of their Sundaes one day soon. read more

Over the years, I've visited many different ice cream places in the Phoenix area. One that always comes up near the top of everyone's list is Sweet Republic. In fact, they have been recognized with various awards including Best Ice Cream by Phoenix New Times and Phoenix Magazine. I have enjoyed visiting all three locations in the area including Phoenix (on 16th street), Tempe (just north of the ASU campus), and in Scottsdale (on Shea Blvd). Just recently, my wife and I enjoyed an outing to the Scottsdale location of Sweet Republic. It was all-around great as usual! When we arrived in the middle of the day on a Sunday, it was busy with what seemed like a long line, but in reality there were just three large families in line that took some time to place and receive their orders. We really wanted to look at the flavors up close but there were some guests who had ordered that didn't move along so we had to make a spur-of-the-moment decision when they finally moved right when we were asked for our order. We tried a sample and figured out rather quickly what we wanted. FYI, I wouldn't fault a restaurant for customers who weren't being courteous to other customers (but note to customers reading this...after you order or know what you plan on ordering, let others look at the flavors). Kudos to this location on the great service their team members provide! Sweet Republic has ice cream (including seasonal and dairy free), sundaes, milkshakes, floats, and cookies. The most popular menu items include the Pecan Turtle Sundae, Campfire S'more Sundae (which I'm excited to try!), Toffee Banofi Sundae, and Double Scoop (simply 2 scoops of your choice in a cup). When my wife and I just went to Sweet Republic, we went for the Double Scoop and choose Milk 'n Cookies (Chunks of house-made chocolate chip cookies in sweet cream) and Brownie Fudge Swirl (House-made brownies and fudge swirls lovingly folded into vanilla ice cream). The Milk 'n Cookies is like Cookies & Cream except that it is made with chocolate chip cookies instead of Oreos. Both of the choices were delicious and complemented each other.

Sweet Republic has been "crafting cool since 2008" according to their website, and I'm excited that they'll be opening another location within the next month in Old Town Scottsdale. If you've yet to go to one of the locations, I highly recommend it! read more

My family raves about this place, but other than everything being made fresh and with real ingredients I don't really see what all the hype is. They do have gluten free and vegan options which is nice. I got the salted caramel vanilla flavor and it was good but not like amazing/ I have to come back here worthy. The place was clean and the girl behind the counter barely said a word to us. read more

Absolutely love coming here every few months to check out their seasonal flavors when I'm in the mood for something different. For this recent visit, I decided to try their seasonal sweet corn flavor, in a waffle bowl. It was the perfect amount of sweet, but not overwhelmingly so, with small pieces of corn throughout the scoop. What I love about Sweet Republic is that they have something for everyone's varying taste buds. Dietary restrictions? Well, they've got quite a selection of gluten free options and a handful of dairy free options. The quality of their ice cream has always been consistent and fresh, never any frozen icy parts here! Portion sizes and quality are well worth the price. Service is always fast and friendly whenever I visit. Decorated similarly to other locations, this one is quite spacious with a good number of seating options. read more

I came in here with my beautiful girlfriend after work one night. I had gotten off late but it was open until 11. We didn't make it there until about 20-30 min until close, however we were greeted and taken care of splendidly and we got to try the Dubai chocolate ice cream that this place boasts, which I got in sundae format. Absolutely delicious, 10/10, we will be back. read more

Blue Moon was by far their most creative flavor. Their lobby is small, surprisingly, but I think it's because of the plaza they happen to be in. My family enjoyed their ice cream. read more

Wow the dairy free (vegan) chocolate is awesome! Can go and sample the flavors to see what you want or get some of their suggestions on the board. Place is clean and bright with patient scoopers to help you! read more

This place serves the best ice cream!! They have a menu of ice cream treats, like turtle sundae or s'mote sundae and every ingredient is listed on the big board. Or you can make up your own concoction, which is normally what I do because the menu items are quite gigantic. Sometimes I just want a small sweet treat after dinner or mid-afternoon. They never cease to please. read more

I visit Arizona once a year to stock up on Blue Bell Ice Cream. https://www.hungryones.com/2018/04/blue-bell-ice-cream/ This visit I wanted to try some local ice cream and found Sweet Republic. I ordered 2 scoops of ice cream with a waffle cone. Blue moon ice cream was sweet with a mix of flavors. Huckleberry swirl started with a sweet cream base and a very sweet swirl of huckleberry. Rich, creamy ice cream with bold flavors. Staff was nice and helpful. I love how they sell pints as well as scoops. read more

I always love coming here. There are so many unique flavor combinations and it's always yummy! It's a fun spot to go to after dinner or after playing mini golf downstairs. read more

Stopped in to see what vegan options were available and there were actually a few available. I tried the Raspberry but settled on dark chocolate the tried and true classic. The shop got busy after I made my purchase and it made for entertaining people watching while I enjoyed my double scoop. The servers were proficient in handling the small rush and the environment while sitting in the shop was pleasant. The only unfortunate part is that the smells from the Jade Restaurant a few doors down overpower the any smell of cooked waffle cones or sweet smells the ice cream could provide. I did not let that ruin my treat because the sorbet is delicious and I am glad this original Sweet Republic location is still open and thriving. read more

Very good desserts ambience was OK. Other than that it was good. I highly recommend outgoing staff.

By far the best ice cream in town. So many unique flavors and they always give great service

Came here after our dinner a few weeks ago. It was pretty empty as we were the only ones there. SERVICE - The girl was nonchalant. Helped us quickly. ICE CREAM - I got a scoop of ice cream w a roasted marshmallow on it. The marshmallow was good itself. Tasted a lot like caramel. It did make it hard to get to the ice cream though. Overall, basic ice cream shop. read more

BEST ICE CREAM I was visiting this area from Chicago and i found this ice cream place on Yelp as my friend wanted to try some really good dessert place. We drove to Sweet Republic and i simply asked the girl taking the orders that whats your best ice cream and she said - brownie fudge and i tasted it and i liked. I ordered it and when she was making my order, she asked any toppings and i was still looking and thinking- she says marshmallow would go best with it. She used the flame torch for the marshmallow and guess what - it turned out very good. The ice cream eaten with the marshmallow was super amazing. Definitely a place to try They have seating inside and outside as well. And i liked the orange color theme of the place. read more

We came in and I got the Dutch chocolate and my wife got the same with a scoop of mint chocolate. Without a doubt the mint chocolate is the best I ever tried. They have so much more than just ice cream. You need to check them out. The employees were friendly and knowledgeable. The shop was impeccably clean including the rest rooms. My wife just said it could be the best ice cream she ever had! I think I can agree with that. read more

Awful experience. Contacted owner manager and she told me that shakes don't travel well. A mile from our home? So basically don't order ice cream there to bring it back home to eat. Owner said they don't hold well. Nothing she did to make it correct. Won't come back here. read more

So flavorful! Would highly recommend. Slightly hidden if you aren't looking for it but ice cream is outstanding read more

I came here with my three daughters. They did not like the flavors; it tasted weird. The staff was so rude. They were unhelpful and just stared at us. We will certainly not be coming back. If you're looking for a better ice cream place, go to scoop and joy. read more

The ice cream selection and customer service at this location is amazing. Love the dairy free options and the ice cream sandwiches! Bananas foster and mango sticky rice are two of my favorites! The location is always clean and they have parking so overall it's been a great experience every time I've been there! read more

The crime brûlée ice cream is so good! Topped with a toasted marshmallow for the perfect dessert. The worst part is deciding what to choose!

My hubby and I had our first Sweet Republic experience today and it exceeded our expectations! I didn't know anything about SR other than that it was an ice cream shop, so I was just expecting the basics. What we got was possibly the best quality ice cream in Phoenix. First, the flavors are impressive. Lovers of the classics will not be disappointed, but the adventurous can try new things like bananas foster, honey lavender, or tomato & basil sherbet. The sundae menu is well thought out. We decided to splurge on calories (they don't count on Sundays, right?) and go for the "Toffee Banofi" and the "Campfire S'more". My husband loved the Toffee Banofi, and apparently Alton Brown did too-- there is a Food Network article where AB names this particular sundae from Sweet Republic in Arizona as his favorite sweet treat. That's really saying something! As for the Campfire S'more, I have to dig in here and explain the quality because, hours later, I'm still thinking about it. First of all, let me say that the chocolate ice cream was the best quality chocolate ice cream I've ever tasted. It had the flavor of a great chocolate cream pie if you could imagine that. The whipped cream was thick and rich and house-made. The hot fudge was a cut above the rest. The waffle bowl was light and delicate as well as fresh tasting and flavorful. Even the toasted marshmallow on top was house-made and torched to perfection. I'm honestly surprised that there are multiple locations because this place serves up the type of quality that comes from one little family owned gem. I don't think I'll be splurging on another ice cream sundae anytime soon, but when I do, it will be at Sweet Republic. read more

Looking for icecream and found this on Yelp! It is a nice place and we had a great quick experience with prompt service, so that was great. They have some interesting flavors for sure, the ice cream was good but not spectacular. Nothing wrong with this place but the price point, this is significantly overpriced, everything would have been worth it if they had a more reasonable price. read more

Great ice cream with unique flavors! Service was great and helpful. The place is cute. Would recommend a different cleaning product in the store as it is overwhelming. read more

My favorite ice cream shop in Phoenix!!! I first discovered their Scottsdale scoop shop and then was THRILLED when they opened in Phoenix (they also have a Tempe location and a Sky Harbor airport location!) Their seasonal flavors are ALWAYS a huge draw, and because the owners are so particular about what goes into their ice creams, the results are phenomenal! Fave Regular menu flavor: almond butter crunch (Hubby's fave is their Toffee Banofi Sundae, available on weekends only). Fave seasonal flavors: brown bread, lavender, pumpkin graveyard, black sesame, hojicha, matcha The space is always bright, clean, and very welcoming. There is some seating inside as well as 2 small tables with chairs outside as well (shaded). Staff is friendly, accommodating and helpful! Pro-tip: add their house-made almond brittle onto your scoops! You will NOT regret it. Actually, take a bag or 2 home to snack on as well, like we always do. It's delicious. read more

If you have been to any of their locations I suggest you run now and try! While they have standard flavors, they also have some great unique flavors! My most recent visit had to have my salted caramel, but the banana foster was calling my name! Don't sleep on the huckleberry- if they have it, you must order it. read more

Amazing staff and some of if not the best ice cream I've had in my life. Definitely a must if you're in Phoenix or Scottsdale.

A customer of mine highly recommended Sweet Republic to me a few weeks ago and it sure did meet all my expectations. I will start out by saying I was super impressed they use tiny reusable spoons for sampling. I'm very indecisive and always want to sample a few wherever I go, but feel terrible about the amount of those little plastic spoons businesses go through. Although, I didn't even have to try the butter pecan because the employee sold me immediately when he said that was his go to. I added a second scoop of some sort of almond toffee and the combo together was delicious. My friend spoke highly of the huckleberry and I hear they also have a cobbler flavor on occasion so I will have to keep an eye out for that. There is also a flavor inspired by the golden girls friendship cake that Betty white made so that's pretty cool!! Price for a double scoop was $5.50 which is pretty standard or close to the price I've seen at most Ice cream shops and it fits the quality and variety that they present! read more
