    Very good quality, fresh and creamy ice cream. We are from a bit more down south and it has been a struggle to find fresh, creamy ice cream around here (big preference for soft serve and water ice around these parts). This stuff is legit. Two things that could be improved: the scoop sizes are small and the spoons are cruddy quality, they bend and snap very easily. The photo is of a large, four scoops at $9. Ice cream seems to be expensive around here in general, so it's not exorbitant, but bigger scoops would be better. First time we went here I got a size small and was so disappointed by how small the size was (they do not have medium - only small or large) Aside from ice cream: the place is very nice. Great ambience. It's a joint ice cream/cafe and they serve colombe coffee - which is legit stuff. We haven't tried their coffee but it's likely good, because colombe coffee is excellent.

    Sweet Nel's was AWESOME! This eatery has some unique features. For one, the interior is large, it has a lounge area, at the front, plenty of outdoor seating, and they give you a mini scoop, of any flavor.... on top of your selection....for free. A VERY NICE TOUCH. I've been to hundreds of sweet shops..... NONE do the mini scoop. That's on top of large portions, which were greatly appreciated. The selections of ice cream and gelato are huge and their staff are very friendly, patient, and quick to serve. You will definitely enjoy your visit to Sweet Nel's and enjoy their uniqueness.

    Nel's Affogato Signature

    We've visited Nel's a few times now and have always loved whatever it is we've ordered. Coffee? Yes! Affogato? Yes! Gelato? Yes! Crepe? Yes! The people behind the counter are happy, patient, and helpful, which is necessary due to the amount of ice cream and other options they have. We'll be back to try the waffles, açaí bowls, and breakfast sandwiches. Love Nel's!

    Cute little place with crepes freshly made, waffles, ice creams, gelato, coffees! I had the butter Brickle with hot caramel in a waffle bowl..

    Cinnamon bun crepe
    Caitlin N.

    Came in after visiting Hagley on a rainy day. We purchased an array of food and drinks: cinnamon bun crepes, waffles with fresh fruit, mango sorbet, baklava and espresso chip gelato, spinach pies, a cappuccino, and a latte. The consensus: The food was great! We enjoyed everything we ordered. One comment about the mango sorbet was that it didn't really taste like mango, but other than that, everything received positive praise. We however we're not super fans of their coffee. The iced vanilla latte had too much vanilla syrup (we received it all separated) and didn't have a strong espresso taste. The cappuccino was described as "just okay" which is okay! Will be back for their yummy food again!

    Blueberry, strawberry, banana, nutella crepe

    Big crepe that's good enough to share! We got the blueberry, strawberry, banana with nutella crepe. It came out quickly and was stuffed with fruit. It was not too sweet and there was no extra cream which was nice as it would've been too sweet if they added an extra ingredient. Outdoor seating as well as indoors. Will definitely be back! Their ice cream looks good too.

    Great gelato and acai bowls! I've always drove past this place and haven't been in. My friend went here after dinner one night. Service was great :) next time I want to try a sundae or a crepe for sure!

    This is my second review of sweet nel's and it was just as great as the last visit! Because of the fact that I already reviewed this place in detail I am going to keep it short and simple. The ice cream quality is very high. I got the Grand Slam which is by far my favorite flavor, it's a must try! The Service here was very friendly and super helpful. I want to come back and try there espresso!

    It's been awhile! My family and friends and I used to come here all the time and since I'm heading off to college soon we thought we had to once more It was great as always! Their prices have risen a bit but I still feel like you get a good amount of ice cream If you come here definitely get the single (it's 2 scoops) That's plenty for me lol and comes to about $4.50 My definite favorite and all time go to is the Graham Slam! If you've never been, something that makes this place unique is their "Nellies" which is a mini scoop of ice cream they put on top your order of a different flavor I got the graham slam with a butter pecan nellie on top I love the vibe of this place and they always have the most friendly staff!

    See all
