Sylvie Dee's apparently just opened within the last week or so, and I decided to stop in after…read morehaving a really rough day at work. I needed a little treat before heading to my daughter's after-school activities, and this place sounded like just what I needed!
I was a little nervous when I first pulled up because I saw that most of the street parking was full. Luckily, I found a spot! Once I walked inside, I realized there was also parking behind the building in a parking lot, which was good to know for next time.
Walking in, you're greeted by neon signs everywhere and a bright, colorful atmosphere. It's like a candy shop, soda shop, and ice cream parlor all rolled into one! There is SO much candy surrounding you, and you can pick out your favorites to buy by the pound or add to your ice cream or drinks. They have tons of different ice cream flavors, and they'll even let you sample them before deciding. They also have a large selection of dirty sodas, so there's plenty to choose from!
I went with the Bake Shoppe ice cream, which had cookie dough, brownies, and another sweet addition that I can't quite remember. I was craving chocolate, and this definitely hit the spot. It was rich, yummy, and exactly the treat I needed after my day.
I also ordered a dirty soda made with blue razz, cotton candy, cream, and gummy sharks. I'll give them some grace here because it was their first week open, but my drink was overflowing! If anything, they certainly weren't skimping on the ingredients. It did make a bit of a mess, though, and it was difficult to stir everything together. I ended up transferring it into my own tumbler, which is why I don't have a picture of the drink. Once I got everything mixed together, though, it tasted AMAZING! They also put plenty of gummy sharks in it, which was a fun touch.
They had bakery items that looked amazing like Pop Tarts and bread pudding. And they even had gluten free chocolate chip cookies!
They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and the whole place is super cute. I could definitely see this being a fun spot to meet up with friends, catch up, and enjoy an ice cream cone or a fun drink.
Overall, I really enjoyed my visit. There were a few little growing pains with the drink, but considering they had just opened, that wasn't enough to take away from the experience. I hope Sylvie Dee's does well in this location because it's not far from my work, and I'll definitely be back to try more of their ice cream and dirty soda combinations!
Sometimes a little ice cream and a fun drink are exactly what you need to turn your day around. This place delivered!
