| - This is seriously good ice cream. And, they are so welcoming -- encouraging you to taste your way through the many flavors on your visit. Plus, I love that they source locally and are conscientious of the environment in their decor and product.
My first visit, I went with a friend and with each sample taste, I would try a little and pass the spoon for my friend to try also. Then, I got a taste of the salted butter caramel ice cream. I took my little taste and new instantly that I would order a scoop!
Quickly, a shameful panic swept over me. In spite of knowing that I was about to order a whole scoop of this delicious treat, I could not bear the thought of parting with the remaining bite.
I looked to my friend.
To the woman behind the counter.
Back to my friend.
Back to the woman behind the counter...
"Um, can she have her own taste of this one?"
Truly, that basically sums up Sweet Republic's ice cream. Its sophisticated flavors like Cheese Course Duo (a pairing of Roquefort blue cheese and local Medjool dates) or Basil Lime sorbet, or the oft referenced Chocolate Rosemary, peak your grown up interest and get you through the door -- the great taste pushes that grown up aside and brings out the five year old inside of you!
They even let you chose what type of spoon you want... a standard plastic spoon, an old fashioned wooden "ice cream stick" or a tiny little neon colored spoon!!!
