Salted caramel milkshake
Nathan W.

Really great ice cream shop... really friendly staff the ambience is great open well lit and clean. The young lady who helped me get my milkshake was very friendly and cordial and professional. The only downside I see from this place is the expense. The ice cream is very expensive but then again it is all handmade in the store so you can't fault them too hard for that. I would however say that it would be nice if they had discount or specials ever once in a while that would be need the salted caramel milkshake I had was excellent. I also managed to scoop up a pint of Dubai, chocolate and pistachio ice cream, which is excellent. I certainly look forward to returning again. They have many unique flavors and combinations as well as toppings. I look forward to trying one of their Sundaes one day soon.

Over the years, I've visited many different ice cream places in the Phoenix area. One that always comes up near the top of everyone's list is Sweet Republic. In fact, they have been recognized with various awards including Best Ice Cream by Phoenix New Times and Phoenix Magazine. I have enjoyed visiting all three locations in the area including Phoenix (on 16th street), Tempe (just north of the ASU campus), and in Scottsdale (on Shea Blvd). Just recently, my wife and I enjoyed an outing to the Scottsdale location of Sweet Republic. It was all-around great as usual! When we arrived in the middle of the day on a Sunday, it was busy with what seemed like a long line, but in reality there were just three large families in line that took some time to place and receive their orders. We really wanted to look at the flavors up close but there were some guests who had ordered that didn't move along so we had to make a spur-of-the-moment decision when they finally moved right when we were asked for our order. We tried a sample and figured out rather quickly what we wanted. FYI, I wouldn't fault a restaurant for customers who weren't being courteous to other customers (but note to customers reading this...after you order or know what you plan on ordering, let others look at the flavors). Kudos to this location on the great service their team members provide! Sweet Republic has ice cream (including seasonal and dairy free), sundaes, milkshakes, floats, and cookies. The most popular menu items include the Pecan Turtle Sundae, Campfire S'more Sundae (which I'm excited to try!), Toffee Banofi Sundae, and Double Scoop (simply 2 scoops of your choice in a cup). When my wife and I just went to Sweet Republic, we went for the Double Scoop and choose Milk 'n Cookies (Chunks of house-made chocolate chip cookies in sweet cream) and Brownie Fudge Swirl (House-made brownies and fudge swirls lovingly folded into vanilla ice cream). The Milk 'n Cookies is like Cookies & Cream except that it is made with chocolate chip cookies instead of Oreos. Both of the choices were delicious and complemented each other. Sign up for latest news and specials on the website at https://www.sweetrepublic.com. Loyalty program where you earn 1 point for every $1 spent. You also get $5 off any purchase for your birthday and can redeem points for various ice cream treats. Also on the website, you can order online for pick-up or delivery. Sweet Republic has been "crafting cool since 2008" according to their website, and I'm excited that they'll be opening another location within the next month in Old Town Scottsdale. If you've yet to go to one of the locations, I highly recommend it!

First timer and WOW. Tried many of their flavors and loved them ALL. Really impressed and wished there was one in CA. Absolutely delicious. Can't wait to visit again!

Sweet corn
Elsie M.

Absolutely love coming here every few months to check out their seasonal flavors when I'm in the mood for something different. For this recent visit, I decided to try their seasonal sweet corn flavor, in a waffle bowl. It was the perfect amount of sweet, but not overwhelmingly so, with small pieces of corn throughout the scoop. What I love about Sweet Republic is that they have something for everyone's varying taste buds. Dietary restrictions? Well, they've got quite a selection of gluten free options and a handful of dairy free options. The quality of their ice cream has always been consistent and fresh, never any frozen icy parts here! Portion sizes and quality are well worth the price. Service is always fast and friendly whenever I visit. Decorated similarly to other locations, this one is quite spacious with a good number of seating options.

Dubai Chocolate sundae
Colton G.

I came in here with my beautiful girlfriend after work one night. I had gotten off late but it was open until 11. We didn't make it there until about 20-30 min until close, however we were greeted and taken care of splendidly and we got to try the Dubai chocolate ice cream that this place boasts, which I got in sundae format. Absolutely delicious, 10/10, we will be back.

Caramel Almond Crunch Sundae
Frank C.

O Sweet Republic..how good it must be to be loved by me... This little hidden spot was a gem in the rough. Felt like having a sweet tooth after some tacos..so I came to my known place, good O Yelp app to get my sugar fix on..well, it's been on and it's still on..lol If you have a chance and your in East Valley area. Check them out. Customer service was great. The atmosphere was relaxing and peaceful. Now do you see how you're loved by me Sweet Republic...and you YELP. You once again, sent me on a mission to a place that has made my belly smile.

A Caramel Almond Crunch Sundae that was delicious!

This place serves the best ice cream!! They have a menu of ice cream treats, like turtle sundae or s'mote sundae and every ingredient is listed on the big board. Or you can make up your own concoction, which is normally what I do because the menu items are quite gigantic. Sometimes I just want a small sweet treat after dinner or mid-afternoon. They never cease to please.

I visit Arizona once a year to stock up on Blue Bell Ice Cream. https://www.hungryones.com/2018/04/blue-bell-ice-cream/ This visit I wanted to try some local ice cream and found Sweet Republic. I ordered 2 scoops of ice cream with a waffle cone. Blue moon ice cream was sweet with a mix of flavors. Huckleberry swirl started with a sweet cream base and a very sweet swirl of huckleberry. Rich, creamy ice cream with bold flavors. Staff was nice and helpful. I love how they sell pints as well as scoops.

Dark chocolate vegan sorbet
Shakira E.

Stopped in to see what vegan options were available and there were actually a few available. I tried the Raspberry but settled on dark chocolate the tried and true classic. The shop got busy after I made my purchase and it made for entertaining people watching while I enjoyed my double scoop. The servers were proficient in handling the small rush and the environment while sitting in the shop was pleasant. The only unfortunate part is that the smells from the Jade Restaurant a few doors down overpower the any smell of cooked waffle cones or sweet smells the ice cream could provide. I did not let that ruin my treat because the sorbet is delicious and I am glad this original Sweet Republic location is still open and thriving.

Came here after our dinner a few weeks ago. It was pretty empty as we were the only ones there. SERVICE - The girl was nonchalant. Helped us quickly. ICE CREAM - I got a scoop of ice cream w a roasted marshmallow on it. The marshmallow was good itself. Tasted a lot like caramel. It did make it hard to get to the ice cream though. Overall, basic ice cream shop.

The crime brûlée ice cream is so good! Topped with a toasted marshmallow for the perfect dessert. The worst part is deciding what to choose!

Amazing staff and some of if not the best ice cream I've had in my life. Definitely a must if you're in Phoenix or Scottsdale.

I honestly almost walked right by Luxe Bar, totally unaware that they were an ice cream spot. Their…read morevery "luxe" logo and sister concept a luxury/designer resale shop. The two shops are joint and definitely scream luxe in every way. A super modern and beautiful space with all the designer puns and cute offerings from trinkets, to clothes, house goods and of course ice cream bars. They offer chocolate ice cream, vanilla ice cream, cheesecake or a banana for dipping. You can build your own or select one of their speciality bars - both coming in around $9. I opted for the Neverfull of nuts. A vanilla ice cream base, dipped in chocolate, rolled with peanuts, a Reese's and Nutella drizzle. It was very good and definitely enjoyed during the beautiful sunny day in Old Town. The service was great, friendly, quick and helpful with suggestions. My grandparents who were visiting from out of town, loved it. Overall, it was a delicious treat, beautiful store and hit the spot. I do feel the price point is a tad steep and they didn't have any children of small offerings, but I suppose that goes hand in hand with the luxe vibe. I would definitely return, but also a few other local spots that equally hit the mark.

As a self-proclaimed ice cream connoisseur, I highly recommend Luxe Bar! I don't spend much time in…read moreOld Town - in fact, last time I was there, I think this was a donut place. They really did nice renovations! You can either build your own bar or get one of their recommended combos. My husband and I each got our own. We definitely could've shared, but we wanted to try different things! I did a custom bar with chocolate ice cream, chocolate cake, and peanut butter drizzle. You can get two toppings and a drizzle, but I'm glad I just got the chocolate cake. It was AMAZING. I loved everything about it. My husband got the March Madness feature, which was a combo of Oreos and Andes mints with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. You can choose chocolate or vanilla ice cream - he chose chocolate. It was exactly what he wanted. The staff were so friendly and patient with everyone in front of us who took awhile to decide. The shop is pristinely clean as well! The bars are a little pricey, but the quality is there and fairly justifies the hefty price tag.
