I don't know what was worse the ice cream or the customer services. We will start with the customer service. It was the first time we had ever been there and they seem to offer their ice cream in a "unique" way. One would expect that the girl behind the register would explain it... but she didn't. She was even annoyed by the questions. Now onto the ice cream. It might have been the most disgusting ice cream I have ever had. It was icy and not properly mixed and the flavoring syrup was watered down or has gone bad. I do not recommend this place. If you need ice cream go to the gas station and buy it out of the freezer case. read more

This ice cream was awesome. Different stuff that everyone will like. I had the cool mint crunch and loved it! My kids had the rainbow ice cream. My wife combined the cheese cake with the butter pecan. If you are looking for something different but delicious you have to try this place!!! read more

Keep this one on the lunch list. Hamburgers are top notch, but if you enjoy a good beef sandwich with dipping drippings.... See for yourself. Highly recommended and a very pleasant surprise. read more

So naturally we wanted to bring the grandkids here while we were visiting. The previous owner was Teri and she made it enjoyable to shop there. She would always engage her customers in conversation. Sweet Sweet Lady! The new owner is the polar opposite She was the rudest person I have met in Sainte Genevieve so far. OMG ! We tried talking with her and she literally just stared at us. So Rude. Everyone in the group noticed We kicked ourselves for spending our money in there. The candy is Stale, Marshmallow candy was rock hard, Just about broke a tooth on the Malt Balls SAD! Think twice before going in here She is not appreciative of the customers that come in and spend money in the shop. In reading all of the negative comments about Sweet Things it looks like everyone who goes in and gives negative reviews have dealt with the Owner that runs and operates this business, so it is her they are reviewing as being poor customer service.

The absolute best Candy store in town!! (Okay... Full disclosure, I believe it is the only candy…read morestore in town.) Regardless, my kids love it, the owner knows us by name, and my daughter always wants to go. Yes... Always. I don't mind either, because there are good treats for us all. I like the old school cakes and the chocolate covered Nutter Butters.

We visited Izumi and ordered two different ramen dishes. My partner had the crispy chicken ramen,…read moreand the chicken itself was excellent , crispy, well-seasoned, and clearly prepared with care. He felt his bowl was okay overall. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen, which included corn, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and fish cake. While the toppings were plentiful, many of them , including the soy-marinated egg, were settled at the bottom of the bowl, so we found ourselves fishing through the broth to find them. The egg was fully cooked rather than the softer, jammy style often associated with ramen. The broth leaned more creamy and soy-forward than the pork-based tonkotsu flavor I'm used to, and the chashu pork belly was quite firm instead of tender. Izumi is a very small cozy space with limited seating, and during our lunch there was a steady stream of takeout orders. At least 30 people came in to pick up food while we were there. So it's clearly a popular spot. Based on my experience with the ramen, it didn't quite match what I personally look for, but I'd be open to trying it again in the future, as others clearly enjoy it.
