I absolutely love Sweet Republic! I live closer to one of their other locations, but I was in the area of this one recently and decided to stop by for some delicious refreshing ice cream on a hot day. For this visit, I decided to go with some of their limited time flavors, a scoop of the banana cream pie and a scoop of the gooey butter cake. Both flavors were nicely creamy, not too sweet and really hit the spot! The family member I went with decided to get a scoop of the black sesame and she said she really enjoyed that too. Service was fast and friendly. This location is quite spacious with a good amount of seating options both inside and outside.

Our first time at this location is not disappointing. We went in on the weekend evening. The ice creams here are tasty. I really like their special limited time flavors. The colors of their ice cream are so pretty during the fall season. The pandan chiffon cake ice cream is so delicious. I wish I get a few more scoops of them.

Excellent service! We truly appreciate the staff's patience and cheerful attitude. Thank you! Thoughtfully and uniquely crafted flavors. Pho flavor is unique. Thank you for having gluten free, dairy free selection.

This ice cream shop is located in the beautiful downtown Scottsdale area, and if you're feelings a cool treat on a hot AZ day you might consider checking them out This spot has a variety of unique flavors to choose from. The attendant was more than gracious enough to allow us to sample a few different flavors before making our decision This AZ local ice cream shop has a couple locations. This one was very clean and inviting. I will say it had the vibe of a health bar or salon, which isn't bad, but it's not necessarily a comfy or cozy vibe. Still, we were in and out in no time The flavors are delightful. It was honestly difficult for me to choose. I landed on the brown butter pecan. I will say, the real mint chip is not exaggerating. It tastes like actual mint, and not like the typical mint chip. So, if you're a fan of real mint give it a taste Some tips: Consider taking your ice cream to go and walk a block or so to the heart of the downtown Scottsdale area. There are so many cool shops, bars, restaurants, etc Cheers!!

Who doesn't want ice cream in the heat of the desert? The crème brûlée ice cream was excellent and unique. I mixed it with the salted caramel and it was perfect for walking around the streets of old town after dinner.

Best ice cream!!! Unique scratch made with the best ingredients for the absolute best flavors!! Regular, gluten free and non dairy flavors. Homemade cones and decadent milk shakes. Pints to take home!! Limited edition flavors at times as well!! Friendliest staff!!

Dubai Chocolate

Sweet Republic never disappoints. They have carefully curated flavors you'd never think of. Their savory flavors like sweet corn are surprisingly tasty because they find the perfect balance, like a chef would curate a menu item at a fine restaurant. I was visiting downtown Scottsdale and was lucky enough to get the Dubai Chocolate and it was fire! I hadn't had anything Dubai chocolate up until that point and that ice cream was better than any Dubai chocolate that I've had since. There were chocolate chunks throughout that were different sizes which gave the ice cream the made by hand taste. They sprinkled crunchy shreds on top and it was the perfect treat...not a sundae, but tasted like one without overbearing syrups or toppings.

I stopped in this cute little ice cream shop while I was in the area waiting for a doctor's appointment. The shop was bright and pleasantly decorated with teal and orange accents. I love the Arizona mural on the wall leading to the restrooms. This business was very clean and the gentleman that waited on me was very friendly. As far as the ice cream goes, he offered me several different flavors to sample. I landed on the crème brûlée. I really enjoyed this ice cream because it wasn't overly sweet. It was very creamy and had a velvet texture on my tongue. They had several unique flavors and next time I hope to try the mango sticky rice. Please see my photos below for additional flavor selections. I would definitely visit this location again!

Creme brulee ice cream on a cone
Ruthie R.

A nice little treat to walk to after a fulfilling dinner at Sizzle Kbbq a minute away. Was told this location has Blue Moon ice cream, famous flavor from the Midwest. I tried it and it was good! Has a fruit loop flavor to it. The worker will let you sample the ice cream. I chose the creme brulee and it was very creamy and filled with tiny crunchy honeycomb toffee bits. Very cool and interesting and very good. They let you choose to have the ice cream in a cup, cone or waffle cone. The inside is clean, has some tables for sitting inside and outside. They also have ice water for convenience. Overall a really good place for ice cream.

Sweet berry cobbler
Byron T.

Try the sweet berry cobbler flavor, delicious! Highly recommend. They have some unique flavors, cute comfortable ambiance. Check it out if you're in old town and want a sweet cold treat!

Sweet Republic has landed in Old Town! Despite the rainy day, I was determined to make it out to finally catch the mango sticky rice ice cream before it left the rotation. It did not disappoint -- it's perfectly sweet with a soft, almost gelato-like texture. And I love the freshness the mango brings! I really loved the rich creme brulee, which has toffee bits mixed in to mimic the crunch of a classic brulee. It was also really nice to try other unique flavors like dill pickle, banana black sesame, and coffee and donuts (made with chicory coffee). All were great in their own way. The shop is clean and cute with easy-to-grab water cups. Can't wait to be back. Make sure to check out the hand-painted mural and find the 10 hidden ice cream cones!

18.00 Sunday with everything but the sink. Was sooooo delicious!!

So good!!! Ordered 18.00 Sunday with everything but the kitchen sink. Can you say...delicious.?'

Crème Brulee and Rocky Road
Mariah M.

Crème brûlée is to die for!! That's it. That's all you need to know! I got a scoop of Rocky road but like you can't mess that up. I also took a peek at a guys bananas foster (ice cream you dirty minds) and that looked delicious. I'll be back for that.

A Nostalgic, Must-Visit Dessert Destination in Old Town Scottsdale…read more Our party of six visited the Sugar Bowl for dessert following a friend's birthday dinner. Upon our arrival, we were accommodated immediately and seated without any delay. The parlor features a wonderful, nostalgic aesthetic reminiscent of the late 1900s. Its menu is remarkably expansive, offering an impressive variety of options that goes well beyond what one might typically expect from a traditional dessert establishment. The service we received was patient and polite. While one of our table's orders was initially overlooked, the staff corrected the mistake instantly as soon as we brought it to our server's attention. As the name implies, the menu leans heavily into decadent, sweet treats; those looking for lighter or tart options like yogurt variations will find limited choices, but the indulgent selections are perfect for traditional dessert lovers. The surrounding neighborhood adds significantly to the appeal, offering an excellent Old Town atmosphere filled with art galleries, historic shops, and artifacts. If you are visiting the nearby Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (SMoCA), enjoying dinner in the area, or simply taking an evening walk, I highly recommend stopping by the Sugar Bowl for its unique historical charm and experience.

I considered several options in Phoenix area to review, but I decided to go with the iconic Sugar Bowl in Old Town Scottsdale. It's been in business since the 1950's and has been a staple for 7 decades in Old Town. The inside is 1890's decor of pink & white wallpaper/decor like an old fashioned ice cream parlor. They have a bar area and standard seating. I remember I first went here when I was in high school in late 90's/early 2000's. Ice cream was always top notch. I used to get the Buster Brownie, which was this big brownie sundae with vanilla ice cream, goeey marshmallow topping, whipped cream, & cherry on top. It was awesome! I loved that way back then. I got lunch there once or twice; pretty good sandwiches, but the real highlight is the ice cream. My most recent visit was in Jan. 2022 with my dad. We decided to pop in for ice cream. It was as delicious as I remembered.

I love that they let you sample as many as you'd like before deciding! Service was quick, but we never felt rushed while trying flavors and figuring out what we wanted. The waffle cones taste SO fresh because they literally are!! Someone was making them right there while we picked our ice cream. Such a nice touch! We shared a Double Dough and Darkest Chocolate together in a fresh waffle cone and it was so, so good. Did not get a picture because we ate it so fast! Easy parking, great service, delicious ice cream, and fresh waffle cones. Definitely 5 stars!

I sampled at least 4 flavors and they didn't seem too annoyed with me. My issue with Jeni's is primarily I think all of their ice cream across the board is too sweet (I know, it's dessert... I just really feel that dialing the sugar to 2/3 the amount would be perfect). All of the flavors I sampled would have been great. I ultimately ordered Buttercream Birthday Cake and Milkiest Chocolate, with the Buttercream Birthday Cake really pushing my boundary. Nonetheless enjoyable outing on a really hot July day. I'd go back to this location, bearing in mind it's not my favorite ice cream in the world. Also I must add, it's quite expensive. Buying for me individually, doesn't do too much damage, but for say a family of 4, this would be a pricey outing.

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.
