Seriously? People in AZ must be hard up for good ice cream. Just because they put unique combinations together doesn't mean that it's good ice cream. Maybe I'm biased because I'm from San Francisco and have been spoiled with Bi-Rite ice cream.
I do know good ice cream when I eat it and sweet republic is all hype.
The salted caramel started out good but then just tasted like flavored whipped cream. It left a rotten milk after taste in my mouth that made me keep saying ew. I tried the honey blue cheese. Very strong flavor but nothing special.
I get what they were trying to do and it's a good thing they're in Arizona because in California they wouldn't be as successful.
Not to mention the staff was rude. We were the only ones in there on a hot Saturday afternoon (which should tell you something), and there were three people behind the counter but it still took a few minutes before we were acknowledged. Then the lady was simply cold and annoyed.
Ok point taken we won't be back. Not a loss. Well at least not for us.
