Little gem of an ice cream shop. Good regular flavors and really inventive new ones that are regularly rotated. Everything from sweet corn (yep), Earl Grey, Black Sesame, Banana Cream Pie, and Peaberry Espresso (which is a regular and favorite of mine). Seasonal flavors rotated regularly. read more

Yay samples are back! And yay for their Honey lavender ice cream! It is so flavorful and strong! My friend kept it simple and got the vanilla, and she said it stood out from all other vanilla ice creams she has had! My husband got the brown butter pecan I think; Sweet Republic has to be some of the best ice cream I've ever had. read more

Always a busy spot, popular with all ages. Great choices for that sweet tooth any time of year!

When you are just around the corner but the ice cream shop closes in 12 minutes and there are seven of you who all want ice cream, the decision to have an ice cream treat must be made instantly. The vote was, "IT'S A GO!" resulted in a mad dash to Sweet Republic. When we all arrived, even though clean up was in full swing, the employees greeted us enthusiastically and after we had all tried a few samples, served us our ice cream choices. We ate them quickly and we were impressed with the great flavors. As our conversation got more involved, we hardly noticed the time ticking past closing time (11 o'clock) and at about 11:10 we were asked to leave as they were going to lock up. We left quickly after a fun, yet short, eating experience. Next time we'll try and give ourselves 30 minutes before the restaurant closes. read more

I picked up a couple of their "Sweet Sundaes" and a couple of pints to-go for my wife and I to enjoy at home. To start, the employees were super friendly. For myself, I ordered the TOFFEE BANOFI, which is 2 scoops Madagascar Vanilla, almond toffee brittle, fresh bananas, salted caramel sauce & whip cream in waffle bowl. I'm not a huge banana fan, but I love me some toffee and this just sounded too good to resist. It was awesome! For my wife, I ordered the CAMPFIRE S'MORE, which is 2 scoops Belgian Chocolate, roasted marshmallow, hot fudge & whip cream in waffle bowl. I had them sub one scoop of vanilla. They did it right! All of the ingredients were there, and they toasted those mallows perfectly. The employee who made them for me asked if I had help to get them out to the car and I said no (two big ol waffle bowls chock-full-o goodies), so she happily went into the back and found me a small box in which to carry them out. I also ordered a pint of their Bananas Foster ice cream and a pint of their Belgian Chocolate ice cream, which proved resilient enough to survive the drive home and a week or so in the freezer before they were enjoyed together. This is really good ice cream, they have some well thought out treats and the employees are great. Thanks for helping me redeem myself to my wife, Sweet Republic! read more

Lots of flavors and interesting ones too. They will give you a sample if you ask. I ended up getting a single scoop (I forgot the name of the flavor!) in a waffle cone. I didn't know I wasn't getting a sugar cone! The cone was delicious. The ice cream was very good but the star was actually the waffle cone. Single scoop was plenty for one person. read more

Love the flavors and variety's offered and the service is also AMAZING. The absolute sweetest girl helped me and my friend when we can in for a treat on my birthday I got a Sunday - banana toffee- and it was HEAVEN!! I've stoped in several times since and have tried their non dairy float 12/10 from a non dairy~ish person. I love recommending this local shop to anyone who comes to visit me !! read more

This icecream shop had been on my radar for awhile and finally got a chance to go w/friends this weekend. What an excellent idea!!! First off, absolutely the BEST waffle cone I've ever had. This will ruin you for future waffle cones/cups in the future btw because it will be apparent from the first bite what true freshness really is. Aside from that they had several flavors available of sorbet for those who don't do dairy or are vegans (a plus!). The regular icecream flavors were creamy and absolutely perfect. I opted for the campfire s'more which I shared and regretted it (get my own next time) LOL. Even though there was a long line when we went, it moved very fast as the staff is very efficient so don't be dismayed if you go at a busy time. Definitely adding sweet republic to my regular places to visit list! read more

Excellent flavors and very nice staff. I tried the Creme Brûlée and the Strawberry Buttermilk. Both were delicious though I loved the Crème Brûlée, it tasted like they baked the real thing then turned it into ice cream. 10/10 would recommend again! read more

I'm not the biggest ice cream fan, but this place consistently has good service and even better sweets. It helps that I got a behind the scenes tour at their Scottsdale location and learned how dedicated they are to their business. I decided to split one of their sundaes with a friend, the campfire s'mores. It comes with 2 scoops of Belgian Chocolate (you can choose other flavors if you please), whipped cream, hot fudge, and topped with a toasted marshmallow and sprinkles. Gotta have the sprinkles. It was delicious and totally worth the price when you share it. This place is usually busy so grab some indoor seating when you see it. You can buy pints to take home with you to enjoy during these sweltering summers. read more

Sweet Republic - Campfire s'mores sundae with Belgian chocolate ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream and a toasted marshmallow - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Let's get straight to the point, here's what I didn't like: the coconut flavor just tastes like cream with a small hint of coconut (I had to look for the flavor on my tongue,) the grapefruit flavor tasted like basic citrus and there were no grapefruit notes, just bitter citrus. Besides that, the strawberry flavor was delicious, place was clean, and nice customer service. Will I come back for sorbet? Probably not. read more

Probably the best ice-cream flavor we have ever had. Their sweet cream pie ice-cream is literally unbelievably delicious!

Anytime we are in the area nearby one of these locations we will definitely be stopping by for a scoop! Or two!! :-) Need recipe please!!!! read more

Love this place! Best ice cream in town! To make it extra special, wish they start making Ube ice cream! Its a flavor that's getting up there! Rich Purple & creamy! read more

Just okay...nothing really stands out about their ice cream. Honestly you can get better ice cream at Baskin Robbins. They have a weird variety of flavors and not a lot of topping options. I got the waffle cone with a scoop of chocolate and banana toffee with hot fudge drizzle and a roasted marshmallow. The flavors I got were good, I've had better waffle cones, but the marshmallow was good. The service wasn't bad and wasn't the best I've ever had. This is the second time I've had this ice cream and I Probably won't be back. read more

We stopped by here around 9pm on Thursday. There was no wait and we had great service. The flavors are so fun! My favorites were the salted caramel swirl, berry cobbler, and brown butter pecan. The coffee also had a very strong coffee flavor. Keep in mind that customers are only allowed 3 samples each. There is also limited indoor seating (one long standing table and one long bench) but a few tables outside where you can sit and enjoy. read more

Great ice cream with many flavors! The service was very nice and allowed us to try some flavors before deciding which ones to pick. They have seating indoors and outdoors to sit after getting the ice cream. Overall, will be coming back for more! read more

They have a wonderful assortment of homemade flavors which will entice you to come back again and again to try the new flavors! We ended up getting salted caramel, blueberry cheesecake and Madagascar vanilla! Yum read more

This place is not food allergy friendly. As a person with nut allergies, there was a lot of aspects making it impossible for me to even try the ice cream. The scoops were not flavor specific, while not normally a problem if the sanitation system is in place, I saw the employee not clean the scoop between flavors making it difficult to trust that the nut flavors were kept separate. Even the toppings were intertwined. The pecans were overflowing and touching other toppings. There were nuts in the sprinkle container (even though the sprinkles were nut free). I have never had a cross-contamination reaction, however the severe lack of care for keeping aspects separate was too much of a risk to even try. However, three stars for the flavors the other folks in my party enjoyed. Everything they had was delicious and I was definitely jealous to not be able to enjoy it due to my allergy concerns. read more

Pretty great place for sorbet! Got the mango margarita sorbet and would definitely recommend it! Came with a group of four and another friend also got this exact same flavor. Also love the interior and outside sitting space. read more

There's always room for ice cream!!! Awesome little place to get some ice cream with unique flavours. The location was super clean, the restroom was clean and well kept, the staff was friendly and kind and attentive. Adequate lighting and seating, and quite inviting. Came here with my sister Joyce W. and good friend Wilson L. We got the Strawberry Buttermilk which was fantastic. The Earl Grey Tea which was very refreshing, and the Blue Cheese and Date, which was quite unique. All was delicious and great. The price was a little high but well worth the quality. Overall a great experience and will definitely be back when craving for ice cream. read more

Came here one hour before closing and had a great experience! There are soooo many ice cream flavors to pick from and the worker (who also said it was his first day) was so swift and nice! I felt bad for trying so much but there were just too many good options to try. They have a selection of sorbets also. They have various sundae choices which I'll def try next time. Prob will go for the campfire smore so I can get some of that toasted marshmallow on top! I opted for the espresso and brownie swirl flavors. A double scoop and in a cup-- they were great together. Also not to mention the very reasonable prices! There is plenty parking and good amount of seating indoors and a couple of tables outdoors too! You can't miss sweet retreats big ole red sign outside so come try this place out! read more

This visit was for both my boyfriend and I. We wanted to spend some quality time and chose this as our pit stop. It was clean and no line so we really liked that. The employees were really kind and helped us out on choosing a treat since it was our first time. They were very clear and throughout when speaking to you and that's something that most places don't have. read more

If you're looking for a solid scoop shop that has some unique flavors, and is not a chain, Sweet Republic fits the bill. Not anything to write home about, but some overall good options and flavors. The pricing is great for a non-chain scoop shop as well. The three flavors I tried were Strawberry Butter Milk Peanut Butter Chip Carrot Cake The carrot cake was my favorite, it had some great texture and wasn't overly sweet with cheese cheese flavor. For $5.75 Triple Scoop, can't go wrong read more

Easily one of my top 5 ice cream places in Arizona. So why is this one unique compared to say: churn, hub, screamery, and so forth? 1. The abundant flavors of sorbet offered! 2. Hands down best horchata ice cream from any ice cream place 3. Lastly their S'MORES and you can customize your own unique one. So the place itself is clean, modern, and trendy. Parking wasn't an issue for us. We went on a Saturday early evening . The customer service excellent. You can have as many samples as you want to figure out the flavor/flavors you want. So we both got the campfire s'mores. Pictures attached to review. The original s'more consists of: 2 scoops of Belgian chocolate, roasted marshmallow, hot fudge & whip cream in a waffle bowl. I personally don't like chocolate (I know! I know! People think I'm crazy for that) but I customized my s'more to get the experience still without chocolate. My consisted of 1 scoop of the brown butter pecan and 1 scoop of the horchata ice cream with roasted marshmallow and caramel sauce in a waffle bowl. My boyfriend got the 1 scoop of the peaches n cream and 1 scoop of the sweet berry cobbler (new flavor btw) with caramel sauce and whip cream in a waffle bowl. So wow! What an experience! WARNING! It's a lot of ice cream/food! I stuffed my face ! It was worth it for the experience. I may ask for one scoop next time lol but the roasted marshmallow reminded me of when I would camp as a child ! It definitely added that s'more feel to it! We definitely recommend it and will be going back on a regular basis! read more

What a great find for us. The ice cream is so good! A definite "go to" place when in the Phoenix area.

Let me start with saying I don't do dairy. So my view may not be the same as others who do. I got the dark chocolate sorbet. The flavor was perfect, nice and dark but it could have been creamer. Service was quick and easy. read more

So... Days later, I'm still reminiscing of the flavors I experienced at my visit to sweet republic. It's amazing. How is their waffles made to stay so crisp and flaky? It must be witchcraft... I'm so hooked. I'm contemplating my next visit. One of the best ice creams I've had EVER. Not kidding. read more

I came here right after going to Churn and having a rude girl help me out behind the counter. Well, Sweet Republic had a very sweet and helpful girl behind the counter. For me, the product is just as important as customer service. I had the Eclair, almond brittle, and another one don't remember. My bf had the vanilla and a malted flavor. Well, he ended up throwing away his ice cream because he didn't like it and honestly, I didn't either. But the flavors I chose were good. Their waffle cones were very tasty and the chocolate chip oatmeal walnut cookie was also very good. I would come back to try more. Unfortunately they don't give samples out. The flavor I don't remember was forgettable, I wish I could have sampled it prior to ordering. I added pecans to the triple and that was a good move. read more

After our first 110-degree day of an inevitably lengthy summer, I am overdue for an escape. I haven't been to a beach or a cool mountain retreat in so long, my brain fails to conjure imagery of more habitable biomes. I sometimes curse the sun, and then remind myself to "think cool thoughts". Those thoughts will bring me to my time here, standing in awe of both simple and novel flavors. I sampled the Madagascar Vanilla first, and was immediately pleased. You know how a smile is this universal symbol of happiness? So universal in fact, that people perform the gesture despite having never seen one? I believe a good vanilla ice cream is the culinary version of that. Everyone--literally everyone--can appreciate it, and like a cool breeze through your hair its goodness is entirely self-evident. Sweet Republic's take on this classic is accessible to anyone, anywhere, and any time. I could offer this to an uncontacted civilization in the Amazon, and they would immediately recognize that I am coming in peace. The banana foster was even better. I'll be back to have one of these confections in a cone. Or with toppings. Honestly, I would eat it on top of just about anything. It's simply that delicious. read more

Hands down the best ice cream I've ever had! My daughter and I sampled a few and then settled for the buttercream almond and it was amazing. read more

Very niche and just wasn't for me. I might give this place a chance post-covid but the flavors are very unique- samples are essential to find what you like if you haven't been here before. The lady who served me provided descriptions of each flavor and she was wonderfully nice but it didn't help me in the end. I ordered their earl grey icecream and it was like eating an old white women's perfume. The flavor wasn't THAT bad and I finished my one scoop but it was overall an unsatisfying and jarring experience. My friend got some flavor with brownie chunks and they said it was sub-par because the chunks tasted glutten free or vegan or like something was off. I found the scoops to be small. Had LOTS of extra cone. Some places are generous with their scoops and this place is definitely not. Cute set up and decor tho, haha. read more

I can't even begin to explain how good this ice cream was!!! I got the Salted Caramel sundae (not sure it that's the name ). When I tell you every morsel in this sundae was delicious, you would probably think I am lying. If you don't believe try it for yourself. The ice cream was creamy and flavorful. The Whip cream was even good, I for one do not care for whip cream unless it's Starbucks. Then the pecans on top...my goodness. This was amazing and really made my day! read more

Poor service and very unfriendly and rude staff who seem very annoyed that you came into the store. Good ice cream would make up for that, but their ice cream tastes cheap and watery - sort of like the cheap ice cream you get at the grocery store that lacks the proper milk fat content. On top of that, the scoops are tiny for the price. Save your money and avoid this "ice cream" shop. read more
