Specialties
Artisan all-natural ice cream made locally. At Sweet Republic, our goal is to put a smile on each customer's face. We believe that the only way to achieve this is to create the most flavorful indulgences from all-natural ingredients, handcrafted in small batches right in the store. For our artisan ice cream, we start with milk and cream from independent Arizona dairy farms, and add hand-stirred caramel, slow-roasted bananas, handmade marshmallows, fresh baked brownies and more. For our sorbets, we use ripe whole fruit, which we peel, pit and chop right in the store. We don't just stop here - we also make all our own cookies, toppings, sauces and waffle cones from scratch - this way we know only the highest quality ingredients are used. There are no artificial flavors, colors, preservatives or hydrogenated oils in any of our products - only what nature intended. We believe in sharing the pleasure of ice cream in a way that is responsible to the environment we live in. We suggest eating our artisan treats with ice cream sticks made from birch wood sustainably harvested in Maine. We recycle all plastic and glass bottles, so please make sure to hand your bottle back to us when you're done with it.
