Whether I'm jonesin' for a pile of hot fudge and caramel or a refreshing snack on a hot day, Sweet Republic has what I need!
Awesome ice cream and sorbet, made from seasonal, local ingredients, it's definitely some of the best I've had in town. It can be a little pricey, but you pay for quality. Personally, I'd rather pay a bit more and know I'm getting the good stuff, then head over to 31 flavours for a ton of corn syrup, dyes and artificial crap.
Recently I've had their sweet corn, sea salt caramel, lavender, mint, lime basil sorbet and strawberry sorbet. All were incredible. I had their 'smores sundae, with the sea salt caramel ice cream instead of the chocolate... Ridiculousness! The toasted marshmallow was the icing on the cake. And don't let the slightly odd texture of the sweet corn ice cream put you off. It's worth a scoop. I used to get sweet corn ice cream in Bangkok all the time, and loved it! Their lavender and mint ice creams are both made with actual herbs, so they're both a little strong, a little herby, but my god they're good! I loved the lime basil sorbet. I mixed it with the strawberry sorbet, and it was exactly what I needed on a hot summer day.
If you're looking for a great local business to support this summer, and a place where you and the kids can have some great ice cream, I definitely recommend Sweet Republic. Oh! And they've got all sorts of board and card games so you can have your ice cream, and play some Wizard of Oz Monopoly. :)
