text: Sweet Republic is seriously amazingnnI have high standards for frozen dairy treats and Sweet Republic is waaayy up there nnI was drawn to this place after learning about their unique artisan ice cream flavors Blue Cheese Honey Sweet Corn Real Mint Maple Pecan plus housemade marshmallows YUMnnI was finally able to convince my hubby to make the pilgrimage because they are incredibly open until pm on Fridays and Saturdays which makes it the perfect late night date spot nnThe shop is supercute decor is contemporary and cheerful with unique lighting fixtures The tables are lined up along a banquette on the side of the restaurant again very date friendly You can cozy up with your significant other while savoring some yummy icecreamy goodness They have a stack of board games at the back of the restaurant which I thought was a nice touch as well how fun to get some delicious icecream while playing Connect Four with a friendnnThe menu is excellent from the icecreams themselves to the sundae options and awesome toppings you really cannot go wrongnnI went in expecting to order the Campfire SMore Sundae but made a rogue move at the last moment and switched over to the Pecan Turtle Sundae in a waffle cup omgoodness so so GREAT Before settling on my sundae I did get a quick sample of the Plum Verbena icecream and wow light refreshing and unique definitely a good pick if you are in the mood for a scoop or two nnNow back to the Pecan Turtle Sundae I have had lots of Turtle Sundaes and this one was just head and shoulders above anything else I have ever tasted I seriously dreamed about it from the time I left Sweet Republic until the following weekend when we returned so that I could have it again and share it with my Grandmother who is a fellow appreciator of a good frozen treat nnThe sundae is topped with hot fudge and salted caramel sauce fresh whipped cream and pecans that are toastedtransformed into little nuggets of greatness The waffle bowl was the crowning glory sweet crispy crunchy and delicious be sure to get one nnMy husband ordered the Cookie Mintifesto and he loved it although I was not a huge fan of the real mint I prefer fake mint I guess It was pretty brisk and not very sweet nnMy son tried the Honey Blue Cheese on our second visit and was smacking his lips and mmmmmming the whole time nnService was alright the sundaes take a bit of time to make and when they are busy the employees seem stressed nnI cannot recommend Sweet Republic enough as a musttry destination in itself but it will also become an anytime place that you will find yourself headed to every opportunity you have
