| - This was a serious let down, and to be honest I probably docked it an extra star, because it just doesn't live up to the hype. The cashiers and servers were nice enough, but nothing special. The inside was clean, but again nothing really stood out. I approached it much like I would when ordering a pizza from a new pizza place, which is to order something basic and traditional like a pepperoni pizza. In my opinion a good restaurant should excel at the basic traditional things. In this case I ordered an ice cream cookie sandwich, vanilla ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, and sprinkles. They asked if I wanted it hot pressed, and I enthusiastically replied yes, hoping that this would address the problem many other reviewers noted with the cookie being to hard. It did not. Upon my first attempt at biting into the sandwich, a majority of the ice cream squeezed out in every direction except my mouth! I decided to try eating some of the excess squeezed out ice cream with a spoon first, and then attempt another bite. The second attempt did not go any better, and neither did the 3rd attempt! I ended up eating a majority of the ice cream with a spoon, which in my opinion is not very good tasting. I ended up with two messy cookies and a thin layer of ice cream in-between them. The cookie was not that amazing either. I feel like it was to thin, and to hard, especially for an ice cream sandwich of that magnitude! If you want a good ice cream sandwich try Trader Joes Sublime Ice Cream Sandwiches, or for a truly gourmet ice cream sandwich check out your local Fry's or Whole Foods for Coolhaus Ice Cream Sandwiches. If you want amazing ice cream desserts, stick with Sweet Republic!
