Through high school (which I rarely attended) I got a job as the night manager at Haagen Dazs in the Biltmore. This has forever ruined my experience with the majority of ice cream joints. On Christmas eve, I had a hankering for some ice cream. (a hankering, really Tony? what are you 75?) anyways... my Dad happened to have a Groupon for Sweet Republic so we checked it out.
Being the glutton I am, I ordered the flagship Sundae. With three scoops, multiple toppings, whip cream etc etc. The ingredients are all fresh. From the homemade ice cream, to the freshly whipped cream. The caramel I believe is made by a man named Jesus, who lives in the middle east some wheres...
The ice cream is fantastic. The owner is knowledgeable and walking the talk as far as local and organic. Also the product is able to stand up to my overly critical ice cream palate. I am an ice cream freak, and this place is FREAKIN GREAT!
