On.
Very surprisingly, I hadn't heard of Sweet Republic until I moved in basically right behind the store. It was a sweltering summer afternoon, I wasn't working, and I spied ice cream. I was dubious at the amount I was paying for a scoop of espresso, but I tried it out.
HOLY.
Since then, we've become ultimate fans. I know, duh, Food Network, countless local awards and 325 reviews, almost all glowing, can't be wrong. Brave the line--it's worth it.
Flavors we've had:
Espresso: Pure coffee flavor, with a chocolatey kick. Perfection. Buzzbuzz.
Real Mint Chip: They ask you if you've had it before, because it's natural, real mint goodness and some fat 'murcans have a dumbed down palate. Refreshing amaze-mint. (Get it?!?!?!)
Maple Pecan: Boyfriend's favorite. Chunks of pecans in sweet, sweet mapley goodness. He likes it more than he likes me. I bought a pint for him when he was sick and it immediately healed. True story.
Pumpkin Spice: You don't need pie anymore, or a PSL from Starby's. Get thee to SR for this holiday TREATACULAR.
Horchata: I know what you're thinking...well, maybe you're not thinking, because your brain just exploded in cinnamony goodness just trying to figure out how delicious this could be. Hint: it's BETTER THAN THAT.
Brownie Swirl: Chocolate Explosion. Enough.
I've also sampled a wide variety; the Earl Gray sticks out in my mind for being so unique.
The waffle cones and bowls are made fresh and if you just want to throw all caloric issues aside, get 2 scoops in a bowl and call it a crisp-ity, crunch-ity day. I like to break off lil pieces of it and use it as a "chip" for ice cream "dip." I'm also fat. You can be fat with me, if you indulge here. WORTH IT.
