This is hands down some of the best and freshest ice cream I have ever had. As a chocolate fiend I opted for the ice cream named desire. Normally a small scoop suffices for me after a nice meal but I ended up wiping out the entire cup because it is that good. I sampled some other flavors too that I would like to come back and try (plus take some proper photos for a review). The owners/staff are really amazing and so welcoming. Their product is their craft and their passion shows in their craft. I look forward to returning and shall spread the word among my colleagues when they have layovers in New Orleans. read more

Both the owner and the employee who helped us were very sweet. We each got the chicory and coffee ice cream in waffle cones, and it was absolutely delicious. Rich, strong coffee flavor with a creamy, slightly "stretchy" texture. We would love to come back and try the other flavors. Highly recommend giving this ice cream shop a try if you haven't. read more

Saint is a smaller ice cream store but delivers in flavor. There are limited flavors and the scoops are New Orleans themed. Service was decent with scoopers offering suggestions. I ordered the banana with chocolate pieces. It was smooth and not too sweet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And you get an ice cream scoop store atmosphere which works well in humid NOL.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This place definitely deserves the superb rating it has!!! They have such unique flavors available you can sample. We ordered the Mona Lisa which was a mixture of blueberry lavender and cream cheese. The texture is a little stickier than normal ice cream and the taste was super delicious! Also loved the mud ice cream which had delicious chocolate chunks mixed in with vanilla ice cream. They also had New Orleans inspired ice cream like kings cake and the pies. read more

The selection here is so unique in the best way. I got the banana brownie ice cream and it's so delicious! They churn their own ice cream in house and it's super high quality and creamy. The owner is really nice as well. read more

Came here after dinner. I ordered "the mona lisa". It is a lavender, blueberry and Louisiana citrus and a cream cheese based hard ice cream. The consistency was thicker but so good! They use cane sugar and I love how the taste and texture is! I would definitely recommend this flavour! The owner Kenny was super nice as well! Will visit again if I have the chance in the future!

In the heart of a touristy, busy area in New Orleans, this is a quaint little local spot scooping up homemade flavors! I had a hard time choosing a flavor, especially after sampling quite a few and enjoying all of them. From chicory to goat cheese and jam to triple chocolate, all of the flavors are exciting and delicious. The owner was kind enough to give me a half scoop of my 2 favorite flavors in a waffle cone. I enjoyed the chicory & chocolate as well as a seasonal pumpkin flavor! Skip the tourist traps and stop here to support a local shop. read more

Stumbled across this super sweet ice cream shop when craving something sweet after dinner and it definitely hit the spot with their stellar service and flavors! Our server (didn't get her name!) was so friendly in letting us try the different flavors and provided an excellent recommendation. We enjoyed sampling the various flavors and settled on a single cup of crème de citron in a cup ($5.99) which was a very creamy flavor reminiscent of key lime pie! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is on the smaller side with bright lighting and few seating but you can certainly enjoy your ice cream strolling around the charming neighborhood.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 10/10 recommend for ice cream aficionados! read more

Sweet Saint is a really great ice cream shop and absolutely worth a visit. Be aware it closes at 9--which normally is fine, but seems early for New Orleans in that area. The make the ice cream in house and you can taste the difference. They also feature many original flavors and unique tastes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Like many places in New Orleans, the interior is kind of old--but do not let that dissuade.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was very friendly. I had the Fleur de VaNola in a waffle cone. As noted, they had many exotic flavors, but I love vanilla. This was very tasty, with a hint of lavender. Others enjoyed the Chicory n French Truck Coffee and the Bayou Mud. Everyone loved the rich flavors. Definitely worth a visit! read more

This ice cream place had great reviews and it was near our hotel. We stopped by to get a late night sweet treat. My mom got the mint chocolate chip and I got their Bayou mud. The ice cream was okay, nothing remarkable. They do have some unique flavors but we weren't wowed by what we got. Perhaps we didnt get the right flavors. The consistency of the ice cream was a bit off as well. We were expecting it to be creamy and it was rather hard and dense instead. read more

Sweet Saint is definitely a hidden gem, inconspicuously situated on St. Louis St. between Royal St and Bourbon St. I was on the hunt for coffee flavored ice cream and had to visit a couple of places before finding Sweet Saint. The attendants were so friendly and served us quickly. They had exactly what I was looking for in their chicory coffee with chocolate chip flavor. I got a double scoop to share with my friend. We both loved it! read more

I cannot tell you how many times we pass this little spot and never really gave it much thought other than putting it on my mental list to try. What were we thinking?!?! Why didn't we come in sooner??? Absolutely delicious homemade ice cream with well thought out flavors. It is rich and creamy and this isn't your ordinary chocolate or vanilla. My husband chose their Mardi Gras pie flavor. It had chunks of Moon Pie in the ice cream and a delicate banana flavor. I had their bayou mud. It was a mix of chocolate and marshmallow ice cream with a caramel ribbon, roasted pecans, and homemade brownies chunks throughout. We both had them in waffle cones. I didn't even get a picture of them as we devoured them quickly. I wanted to go back and get a second scoop, but we're in the middle of king cake season and so I have to balance it all out. My only suggestion would be that they make waffle cones. That is what would make their ice cream perfect. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plus the smell of a fresh waffle cone would bring so many in off the street to try their many flavors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute little place, and their staff is incredibly gracious as you can sample the many flavors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will be stopping in a lot more from now on! read more

I'm currently waiting for the nola pride parade to get to St Louis Street, so I popped into Sweet Saint to get a cold treat. Saw the sign out front. Vegan ice cream, you say? I'm in. I tried the Ponchatoula strawberry. It has a hint of lime for tang, and while it isn't creamy, it does have a nice smooth texture and is softer than most sorbets. Most of all, it hits you with a bright, fresh pop of flavor, just like eating ripe strawberries in summer--not at all like the typical artificial berry full of red 40. The woman who served me said they're working on a coconut based flavor, which I'm excited about. Sadly, I'm allergic to dairy, so I always appreciate a true ice cream with alternative milk. read more

Loved this spot. The cucumber sorbet was magnificent. The lavender ice cream as well. Great service too!

This gelato shop, man oh man! Okay, let me calm myself down. No matter where I travel, I always love to try and experience ice cream/gelato. Stepping into this shop is a vibe unto itself. The owner is so chill and is passionate about making his gelato! It has a rich organic butter content, so the ice cream has a taste like you have never imagined. Imagine creamy but also thicc, yes with the double C! The owner told me the stories behind each flavor! A plus is that sampled are also available. I ordered a double scoop with #1 chocolate coffee chicory which was so smooth, vibrant and awakened my senses! #2 mint chocolate chip, the mint was very bold and vibrant! This rocked my world! This place is a gem and a must experience when in New Orleans! Cheers to good eats! read more

Hands Down - this was the BEST Ice Cream we have ever had in our 60+ years of living! It was so dense (from hand folding & whipping we were told) that even in a 75 degree evening, it would not melt when we stepped outside. Absolutely exquisite ice cream and I'm not an Ice Cream fanatic. You MUST stop by and taste 4 yourself! You will be sorry if you don't. Gentleman in charge couldn't have been kinder or more patient and understanding with families! read more

Came to this place a little before 8 pm and there were not a lot of people here so I didn't have to wait too long to place my order and receive my ice cream. I haven't tasted ice cream with this consistency before. The consistency is much different than the typical ice cream you would get at the grocery store or Baskin Robbins. This one was very thick and a bit stretchy. They make all ice cream in the store which is cool (this reflects in the price of the ice cream- it is a bit on the expensive side). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also even though the place is really small, there is still a cute sitting area with small chairs so you could eat inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I fairly enjoyed the coffee ice cream I got. I am a coffee ice cream lover so it was pretty good but I will say if you don't like an overpowering coffee flavor, the coffee ice cream here is not for you. My sister got two scoops of different flavored ice creams (the Desire and a special one). She liked it a lot but two scoops made her super full. I definitely recommend only one scoop because it's very filling. The woman taking my order was also very nice and helpful. Overall, very good place but definitely a bit pricey. read more

this small, cute shop serves some tasty ice cream! we got the bayou mud, mona lisa, and the creme de citron. all 3 flavors were delicious but i loved the mona lisa the most, the lavender really comes through on that one. the creme de citron was a spontaneous pick that i ended up really enjoying - the lemon curd is refreshingly tart. the texture of the ice cream is creamy but also very solid and at times i felt like the plastic spoon would break - i enjoy that texture but just a headsup for those who prefer softer ice cream. the people at the shop were very nice and gave us some tips on where to go to eat and explore nola. definitely recommended! read more

Best stop in Nola for something sweet! We were happily greeted by the owners and few minutes before closing and they encouraged us to try every flavor. The owner was very kind and explained the flavor profiles and creaminess of the ice cream. I got the lemon flavor and my boyfriend got the mint! Both were amazing and I wish I had gone very day!! After we paid there was a line of 15 people out the door and the owners smiled and stayed open late for everyone. read more
