We went here twice on a recent visit to Arizona. Any time we go on a trip and I can try locally made food or a local specialty I'm a happy camper. The ice cream was tasty. For me, it wasn't mind blowingly tasty as some people say. Some of the flavors I tried were interesting.
However, I was a big fan of their waffle bowls. The waffle bowls are crispy and thin enough that you can break it with a plastic spoon. Other places have overly thick waffle bowls that require a small hammer to smash. I also liked that they torch the handmade marshmallow on the S'more Sundae $7.25. The Java Jolt milkshake was also tasty $6.25. A single scoop is $3.00.
The line is pretty slow because they have one employee scooping ice cream AND running the cash register at times (which isn't a great idea for sanitary reasons). Overall, Sweet Republic is decent and is locally made so it gets five stars from me.
