So I took the wife and daughters to Sweet Republic for Saturday night dessert. We were expecting an epic finish to the night based on the reviews from my fellow Yelpers. This place was really busy (line out the door) and the set up was not conducive to 1st time customers because we felt like we had to make impromptu decisions on flavors that really didn't sound too good in the first place. The staff made us feel like cattle being prodded along the line so we really didn't sample any flavors prior to ordering.
I decided to pig out and went with the Homemade Ice Cream Sandwich. It was two chocolate cookies with your choice of ice cream in the middle. I went with the Brownie Swirl and thought it was pretty tasty. The cookies had a nice crunch to them and the ice cream was sweet but not overpowering. It was really messy though.
My wife ordered a single of the peanut butter flavor and she didn't finish it. My youngest ordered a single of the chocolate sorbet which was bitter if you're into that. My oldest ordered a salted caramel shake that tasted like plain milk. Absolute Disappointment! No flavor!
Overall I was disappointed for the amount of money we paid for flavors that were mediocre. I think I'll give it another chance, but I'll probably go when it's not so busy.
