My family approves! We found this place on IG and decided to try it out last Saturday. We met the owner, Christy. She was super sweet and welcoming. She chatted with us for a while and offered us some samples. My little one loved his ice cream. He actually ate his whole cup and wanted his dad's cone Dad was a fan as well! Unfortunately, I'm not an ice cream person so I didn't get to experience the happiness of it all lol . It's a cute space, tucked away a bit so don't miss it! It was nice and cool to break away from the hot sub for a bit. We will certainly come back. read more

If this is your first time hearing of Urban Sweets, here's a quick rundown: The shop was originally a mobile cart (founded August of 2021) featuring a rotation of ice creams, but there is now a storefront located in South End. Aside from ice cream, the shop also carries an assortment of pastries, decorative cookies, macarons, shakes, etc. Aside from the yummy treats, the highlight if the shop is the sweet nature of the owner, Kristen. She provides excellent customer service and is ready and willing to answer any questions. There is minimal dining space, but the shop's location is perfect, so you'll want to stroll and eat if it's a sunny day. Carmel Road Caramel Ice Cream with Biscoff Cookies (small cup - $4/ regular cup - $7)- caramel ice cream with caramel filled chocolate cups - A MASTERPIECE. This ice cream isn't highly recommended, it's MANDATORY. Raspberry Vanilla Three-Tiered Cake ($7) - Overall, the cake is moist and sweet, but the highlight of the cake or as I like to say, the Oscar award winner is the raspberry flavor. It is what's going to make you say, "OMG! YASS!" - MUST TRY. PEPPERMINT - Peppermint ice cream infused with peppermint candies and bursting with candy cane flavor. - This flavor is not HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, it's MANDATORY. PUMPKIN - Spiced pumpkin ice cream flavored with pumpkin puree. - If you really want to get in the fall spirit, pair it with Gingerbread cookies. I promise you, IT BANGS! (Note: Cookie flavors rotate and are based on availability) DILWORTH DELIGHT - this is your traditional Cookies and Cream flavor. Vanilla ice cream loaded with Oreo cookies, making it one scrumptious treat. UPTOWN CHOCO BROWN - If you love fudge brownies, this is the flavor I highly recommend for you. I actually nicknamed this flavor "Godiva Chocolate," as a way to say it is TOP TIER. This ice cream is made with three different kinds of cocoa, which explains why it's so rich. CONSTRUCTION CRUNCH - Smooth-tasting Espresso ice cream that gets it's crunch from the toffee and pecan bits. STRAWBERRY - A classic flavor filled with real strawberries you can taste. PASSION FRUIT - Sweet fruity goodness you will want to eat again and again. MANGO CARROT - A MASTERPIECE of PERFECTION. There's not any other way to describe it. read more

I'd like to start by saying the owner is a lovely host, she takes the time to tell you about each flavor and what she has available. While I was waiting I missed a menu, so I could ask her specifically what I'd like to know more about and I feel like that could help her save her breath a little .. right behind the counter there is this huge wall that would fit a beautifully designed menu, that would definitely elevate the store and whole experience... if años suggest some sound and arts around related to her business and vibe. Now to the main character in here which is her urban sweets! Unfortunately I didn't get to try the baked goods because she has sold out, however I was delighted to taste her ice creams and sorbets and vegan ice creams and I must say I loved the passion fruit and the other vegan one of carrot and mango it's a MuST try. If supporting local business and if you are someone with many dietary restrictions this is a sweet haven you'll feel embraced and will certainly have something delicious for you. read more

Urban Sweets - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me

Some of the best ice cream I've had in Charlotte! It's a little off the regular south end walk, but worth it to head over here for a little indulgence, especially as the days get longer and hotter! All the ice cream flavors are Charlotte themed, from Plaza Midwood Peanut butter to Meyers Park Mint etc, and the taste, texture and sweet cold creamy goodness definitely pass the taste test! I tried several flavors and settled on the mint, but if you get 2 scoops,I'd it with the triple chocolate as well, both fantastic flavors! read more

Urban Sweets has some of the best ice cream in the city. A cute little shop located in the busy South End area so parking can be difficult but if you are out and about already this is the perfect treat. They also have pastries and small cakes. The ice cream is my favorite though, they have so many different variety and flavors. I cannot even tell you what my favorite flavor it is. On Thursdays it is $5 milkshakes as well and you cannot beat that. Kristen the Owner is the absolute best! She has the most bubbly personality and loves serving ice cream herself. She is worth it alone to stop by Urban Sweets. You can also catch their cart at many events throughout the city especially in the summer time. They also do large events such as well. read more
