    The corner of 16th and Bethany Home might be the best in Phoenix between Hobe Meats and Sweet Republic! Sweet Republic serves some amazing ice cream that is delicious and the perfect consistency. As a calorie counter, I want my cheat food to be worth it, and this is definitely that! The waffle cones are perfect and taste like a pitzel, the burnt marshmallow is a nice touch, and the whip cream is light and tasty. I also really like their toffee and almond ice creams!

    I've been many times and never reviewed but every time I come I leave satisfied. I love their selection and I really like that each month they have different creations. I came wanting to try the sweet corn but ended up getting the ube. It was well balanced and not overly sweet which I liked. Service was good. You can order online as well and pick up at the window. Definitely will continue to come and support this local business.

    Came in around 7pm on a Monday night and we were the only ones there...until we weren't. At least 10 others walked in and it was suddenly a party! My husband got the Ultimate Sundae which has a little bit of everything - and he said it was great! I got 2 scoops in a waffle bowl - Mango Sticky Rice and Berry Cobbler - the Mango Sticky Rice...that was phenomenal! The Berry Cobbler was pretty tasty as well. Kids got the Buttermilk Strawberry & Cold Brew flavors and they were tasty!! It was a little pricy but the ice cream was delicious - we will be back!

    A good variety to pick from. I love seeing the new flavors they have out. The gals are always quick to help. Nice little hangout spot for small dates or catch-ups.

    Decided to stop by last minute as it was recommended by a friend and was not disappointed. I tried the brown butter pecan and it was simply perfect. Service was quick and friendly even though they were closing down for the night which was appreciated. Ambiance was laid back but they did have seating for you to sit down and enjoy your ice cream. Will definitely be back!

    A clean and simple lovely spot. I find no extraordinary thing but a conglomerate of loads of hard work that all comes together to make a worthy spot that I will definitely revisit. The flavors were lovely and the staff were there with no griping. Return I will!

    My mom was dying for good, hand scooped, ice cream and after seeing the reviews decided she wanted to try out Sweet Republic. This little shop is brightly lit, clean, and is painted fun and happy colors inside. Despite being crowded we were helped quickly by staff who were fast and efficient and got their line down quickly. Our ice cream was fantastic and flavorful and my mom loved loved loved her turtle sundae. Best ice cream spot we've tried so far. We'll definitely be back!

    Delicious ice cream and unique variety of flavors . The inside is small but they do have seating . Definitely recommend the huckleberry swirl and BLUE MOON ! I wouldn't get almond butter crunch again . It was more soggy than crunchy :) service was fast and kind . Plenty of parking and open late !

    This is my favorite ice cream shop in Phoenix!! Their ice cream is the perfect creamy consistency and they have a great selection of flavors. The service is always friendly and they gave me samples of two seasonal flavors I wanted to try. I ended up going with a scoop of the mango sticky rice and it was so yummy. I also really like their ice cream sandwiches or just getting a cookie to go with my ice cream. There's a few tables to sit at inside the shop and outside the shop. There's a decent sized parking lot. I will most definitely be back in the future for more ice cream!

    I love Sweet Republic's seasonal flavors, and I think they're even better than their normal offerings! Recently, I've enjoyed their mango sticky rice and matcha flavors. Note that you can pick up pints of your favorite flavors, as it is more cost effective than buying scoops!

    love the blue moon flavor, tastes like lemon plus fruit loops and fruity pebbles. also liked the dubai chocolate, thai tea, and mango sticky rice. the workers here were very friendly and let me sample a bunch of flavors. clean and cold place, great for a little break.

    We wanted some ice cream before heading to the airport and found this gem about 10-12 mins away. I got one of the sundaes with vanilla bean, banana, almond toffee and caramel in a waffle bowl. It was really good! I wish I could visit to get this more often! Definitely hit the spot, highly recommend! Place has a walk up window and is a simple ice cream shop. Service was quick and easy! *I saw that Alton Brown from the Food Network rated this sundae as his best ice cream concoction.

    I love trying new ice cream spots and it's always a hit when they are good. I got the crème brûlée and the salted caramel swirl. Both ice creams were a good combination together. Sweet republic has so many different flavors for everyone, some were certainly strange. Overall, I enjoyed my ice cream and will be back.

    Is the cream from grass-fed cows?

    Good question, Naomi! We source our cream from local Arizona dairies, some of which may be feeding their cows grass. So not exclusively.

After having some dinner down the street, I came across Churn and knew I needed to come and check this place out. This small ice cream shop had a pretty big line on a Monday night when I arrived but it moved quickly and the ice cream looked dang good in the glass display. I decided on getting a two scoop waffle cone with Cookies & Mint and Milk & Cookies. The ice cream tasted super rich and super creamy, both flavours were very good. Overall, Churn is a top notch ice cream parlour and a place I would probably frequent if I lived in Phoenix. The ice cream here is great, the staff was friendly, and I really wish they had some non small and medium t-shirts because I would of left with one. Great spot.

    I first found out about Churn when I visited Windsor for happy hour. They are conjoined and share…read morethe same front/back parking lots and patio. Like literally you can walk between the businesses in the same building. I tried them for the first time during a Windsor/Churn Yelp Elite Event but have since visited Churn alone on my own afterward! I really liked the seasonal flavor milk and cookies because the chocolate chip cookie included in the ice cream is one of their cookies they serve separately anyway, so you know it's good. It had a sweet cream base. My sister and I shared a triple scoop for only $7 and satisfied the both of us. The interior is pretty small, but there's at least patio seating in the back and a bench out front. I'm excited to try other seasonal and permanent flavors in subsequent visits, but for now I love the milk and cookies too much to try anything else and would definitely return for just that!
