Sweet Republic makes the best ice cream in America, as far as I'm concerned. I've been to the place several times and I have never had anything which was less than amazing. Everything is made in the store, from ice cream to sorbet to cookies and waffle cones.
Both of the owners are wonderful people who clearly have a passion for making and sharing great ice cream. They also use as many local ingredients as possible. Recently, I've enjoyed Peaches & Cream ice cream made with fresh peaches from a local farm.
Also, Sweet Republic as come up with some flavors which one wouldn't think to put into ice cream, but at this place, different is magic. Jalapeno Avocado, Bacon and Guinness are all flavors I've had here.
But, Sweet Republic also brings the magic to common flavors and does them brilliantly. Their Belgian Chocolate is to die for if you're a chocolate lover and their Mocha sorbet is fantastic. Finally, the pinnacle of Sweet Republic's flavors is the Salted Butter Caramel. A true description of the taste of this ice cream is really impossible, but it is wonderful.
