| - Sweet Republic lives up to (and surpasses) its hype. I love ice cream. And I really love this ice cream.
In the mood for something sweet, my girlfriend and I decided to finally check the place out. We arrived around 6:30 on a Wednesday night. It was pretty empty at the time, which actually made the trip even better. The girl at the counter was really nice, and not only did she encourage us to try some samples, but she actually made recommendations of just things to give a quick try. Everything (even the flavor I didn't like) tastes incredibly fresh. She also brought the bowls out to us. A nice little touch of service.
We went with a pair of Sundaes; The toffee banofe (if it's the best ice cream Alton Brown has ever ate, then I had to give it a try) and the turtle. The toffee banofe deserves the title of best thing I've ever ate. Vanilla bean ice cream, fresh bananas, toffee whipped cream and caramel. It's salty-bitter-sweet goodness. If I could eat this everyday, I would. The turtle was also amazing. The chocolate, caramel, and nuts all mixed together perfectly. While not as good as the banofe, it was still phenomenal.
Sweet Republic's prices aren't exactly cheap, but your sweet tooth will thank you. If you're going to indulge, it might as well be this good. Worth every penny, and then some!
