"Sweet dreams are made of this..."
Yes, this was one of the songs I hear playing while I was at Sweet Republic. Very appropriate, don't you think?
Moving on to the review....
When Bon Appetit names this place one of the ten best ice cream places in the country and I don't find it that impressing, I don't think that says much of the establishment. Instead, it pretty much shows how spoiled I am. Or maybe I'm more of a gelato person. I don't know. Their product is pretty damn good though. Very natural and homemade tasting. They also have very interesting flavors. I really loved my blue cheese and honey ice cream. It had the perfect amount of sweetness and the blue cheese flavor was not too overpowering. I love the cheese-honey combo and it's a combination that is not used often. I topped my ice cream with their super delicious bacon brittle. A treat with great addiction potential. The salted caramel ice cream was also pretty okay. Same with the peanut butter (?) ice cream.
Good but not quite drinking the punch on this one. I don't feel too bad about the 3 stars though since it's not like they need my 4 or 5 star review.
