I know Yelp says that you shouldn't review a place if you're any way connected with the owners, but what if you're connected to them because the place is SO GOOD that you find yourself there so much that you get on a first-name basis with the owner in a very short amount of time? Sweet Republic is that kind of place. The two ladies who own the place are true food lovers, and are very passionate about their craft. I would give recommendations as to one flavor or another, but my favorite changes with my mood. On weekends, ask if they have any of their I Love Bacon stash available.
Good news if you aren't in Scottsdale: Local Whole Foods Markets have started to carry their ice cream. It's every bit as good from a carton as it is scooped fresh in their store. Who knows, maybe years from now people around the world will be salivating over Sweet Republic the way they do Häagen-Dazs or Ben & Jerry's now. And if you start eating there now, you can say later "Oh yeah! I remember when it was just the two gals up on 92nd Street and Shea..."
We drove all the way from Cali to try this place, well OK that's not entirely true, but while on vacation in Scottsdale we stopped by after reading so many great reviews on yelp. Walked in on a Saturday afternoon, and this place was empty. The hostess was super friendly and let us sample what ever we wanted as well as gave us pointers on what we should order since it was our first time there.
I went with the cheese course duo (a pairing of Roquefort blue cheese and Arizona Medjool dates), and the peanut butter chip (slow churned Virginia peanuts and rich flakes of chocolate). All that I can say is AMAZING!! Everything about both flavors were perfect. The creaminess of the ice cream, the richness of the peanut butter, the way the dates balanced the tart blue cheese. Mmmm. I really wished I lived closer so I could go back.
After finishing our ice cream, we were invited to sample a flavor that was not out for sale that day. I don't know how she knew that I was a bacon lover, but she let us sample a carmel bacon swirled ice cream.... *sigh* it was good.
After reading all the great reviews about this place, I just HAD to go, so I gathered three of my friends and drove the 20 or so minutes from Tempe to get there, foregoing any pressure to get homework or reading assignments done (or, for some others, foregoing the desire to see a new episode of 'melrose place'). So glad because it was SO worth it! EVERYTHING in Sweet Republic is made from scratch and uses as much (if not all) local ingredients, mostly from Singh Farm.
They also have such creative (and some non-dairy) flavors like cantaloupe sorbet or mango lassi sorbet or Banana Bonanza ice cream (with bits of banana walnut bread). I sampled the mint ice cream, and it's not like any other mint ice cream I've ever tasted. Why? Because it tastes like REAL mint! I KNOW I'll be back here again and again. Oh, and I HIGHLY recommend topping off your ice cream with a made-from-scratch marshmallow because they torch it for you to just the perfect roast-ability so that the outside is kinda crispy and the inside is gooey. When you mix it with the cold ice cream, though, something fantastic happens, and you're in perfect, organic, gelateria/sorbet/smoothie bliss.
I might also note that you can spend some time at Sweet Republic because they have a few board games that you can play with there. It's also kid-friendly, seeing as when I went, there was a group of kiddies there. So cute. Anyway, in short, if you have not gone to Sweet Republic, you MUST get there soon cuz you don't know what you're missin'.
PS: I might also note that for those of you allergic to cow's milk, they also have options using goat's milk. So forward thinking. I love this place more and more.
Had the mint chocolate chip today, very fresh tasting mint, I would have preferred a little more chocolate. I still prefer the Salty Carmel, and have discovered that they sell their ice cream at Whole Foods so I can get some back home ;)
Had the salted caramel. Was the best ice cream I've ever had. This is definitely a quality over… Read more »
I think this is the only "Artisan" ice creamery in Scottsdale and it is sooooo good! In a strip mall, this cute place has a variety of sorbets and ice creams to choose from.
I choose my 3 scoops for under 4 bucks to include Watermelon sorbet with mini choco chips, almond crunch ice cream and lychee sorbet. All fabulous and totally making me wish that they sold this stuff in Cali!
I wanted to update my review on their pint ice cream. since it's not like the Rep is super close to me I now have to get pints, ok i dont HAVE to but, ya I kinda do.
so, usually after you freeze ice cream for awhile or its been in the freezer a long time it gets pretty gross. ice crystally and maybe a little ooey sticky around the edges. ya know what im talkin about?
the Reps ice cream stays amazing. im not lying. it stays amazing. buy pints. they will sell ya a pint of whatever you want if they have it so fill up!! i spent $30 (i know yikes!) on pints not too long ago but I haven't had to go back in a long time bc their pints don't go bad like grocery ice cream. so i get to enjoy the Rep at home!
it's so good you dream about it, literally
i was just salivating like pavlov's dog, not drooling,…

After watching the special showing of The Ugly Truth ..my oldest faux daughter and I were nowhere near Sweet Republic so we had to stop by .
It's important to learn not to judge by looks and apply labels so I felt that this would be a valuable life lesson for her ...see I was doing this for her...
Right off the bat first life lesson don't judge a strip mall by it's looks .. this non descript corner has a gem!
We promptly walked in and began our asking for taste samples ..cuz that's how we roll. She immediately exclaimed that's the best cheesecake ever !! When I looked at what she was tasting it was blue cheese ice cream ! Valuable life lesson learned! She also tried sweet corn and couldn't believe it was good! But it was.
Ice cream is sweet as promised by the name but also very rich tasting . Reminded me of the unadultered taste of the ice cream I had as a teenage working in a ice cream shop. We made ours fresh on site and the taste shines thru. I ended up with the salted caramel ..nummers!
We loved it and will definitely be back . We have lots more life lessons to learn .
While you are there don't miss the funky braille like wall art stuff going on ..Neat-O!
I love weird food - combinations you woudn't ever think would go together but do, herb-flavored desserts, etc. Lavender is one of those flavors that a little too much and you feel like you're eating perfume. At Sweet Republic, they know this, because a spoonful of their lavender gelato proved exquisite.
Their corn gelato, however, was all too packed with the familiar flavor of corn, which I now know beyond a shadow of a doubt, is not what I want in a dessert. But it was there, and for novelty's sake, I had to try it.
Too many gelaterias serve gelato that is hard and icy - essentially rendering them ice cream at a higher price. SR's gelato is smooth and creamy, as gelato should be. And with their penchant for unusual flavors, Sweet Republic is IMHO one of the best in the area.
If you like trying unusual flavors this is the place for you. Their Bacon Ice Cream is amazing. I also tried the Cheese Course Duo(Blue cheese and medjool dates). The staff was great encouraging us to try as many as we wanted to. The only bad part is there isn't a location in the West Valley. I'll just have to make a weekend drive to try their Avocado-Jalepeno.
Where do you even start with Sweet Republic. This was also one of the first places I found upon moving to the valley with the help of a flyer I received at an event. It is quite a drive for me, but *always* worth it.
First things first. The ice cream and sorbets are insanely delicious. No words anyone writes in one of these reviews could possibly accurately describe the goodness of Sweet Republic. However, I would like to quote one of my friends who had their ice cream for the first time at a recent First Friday. After having a couple bites, they looked at me and said, "Now I know why you drive so far to get this. This is the best ice cream I have ever tasted."
The atmosphere there is so fun and uplifting. They have outdoor and indoor seating, games to play (including connect four) and free wifi. The mint and orange creamsicle decor has such a refreshing and comforting feel.
However, one of my favorite aspects to Sweet Republic is being adventurous. I encourage everyone going to have a try of a few different ones there before deciding on what to get. Also, try something you never thought you would. You'll be pleasantly surprised, because not only will it taste exactly like you imagined, but it will be yummy! The owners put a lot of thought and time into their ice cream and I love tasting the new things they've made and hearing their stories about how sometimes it sounds just as crazy to them and ends up being fantastic.
Sweet Republic is well worth the trip, no matter where you live in the valley. I don't know one person that has gone and been disappointed.
When you take on an establishment like ice cream you better have a damn good idea. Rolling out a dozen deviations of chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry flavor X may work for a summer time smash and grab shop but if your going to thrive and ultimately shatter perspective you have to have an ice cream flavor renaissance.
Like bacon... or sweet corn.... or rosemary..... or a mojito recipe
When I first heard of bacon flavored ice cream, I was utterly horrified, this sounds like some fiendish experiment played out by a fictional madman like Dr. Frankenstein. But still I'll try anything once and pay my cardiologist to worry about it later. I can't possibly warn you enough, it's like crack, who knew.... But enough about my impending doom.
Sweet Republic truly soars above the competition, the innovation and product quality are simply outstanding. We have gone back numerous times and never been disappointed. The staff is excellent, the decco is dynamic, and of course the ice cream is world class. If you don't believe me just ask the flag burning liberal hippies at the New Times or the arrogant food snobs at Bon Appétit.
I'd never been to Sweet Republic before, but we decided to host an event here (north valley friday night) on the last Friday night of June. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. The place is really cute and their ice cream is amazing! I had the date ice cream paired with roquefort blue cheese ice cream. It sounded crazy so I had to get it, and it was really really good! (for the less adventurous, S R offers normal flavors too, my son had mint chocolate chip). The home made brittle makes for a yummy topping and next time I plan to try one of their ice cream sandwiches- yummy ice cream in between two oversized cookies.
Highly recommended!!
If you haven't been to Sweet Republic lately, GO NOW. Before they say goodbye to key lime pie. And the malt & waffle, so good too!
Malted vanilla with a toasted marshmallow. Perfection in my book! Read more »
I've only been here once- and while I really like it, I still feel something is missing- cant put my finger on it...
Im someone with a terrible sweet tooth, teeth- MOUTH even? Yeah so if its sweet Im a happy child. Anyhow service is top notch, very friendly and accommodating, always willing to let you sample "one more flavor" for the incredibly indecisive ahem. While I really like the lime-basil combination and malt ball flavors, I went with classic vanilla bean- how CAN you go wrong with that?? You cant.
Anyhow I will probably be back to try something a little bit more tart and tangy, maybe right now is a good idea as its 111 outside.
I love how this place is right down the street from me and didnt know about till a few weeks ago. ah!
Everything is made fresh, using products locally grown by independent farmers, in Arizona. Everything is au naturale and made from scratch! The desserts are pretty good. The owner, who had served us our desserts, was super friendly and very informative about their products.
Oh my goodness - they even had sweet corn ice cream! Uber delicious! I had that in my ice cream sundae, topped with whip cream and caramel sauce.
Being from San Diego where there are gourmet desserts galore, Sweet Republic was definitely a pleasant surprise! Though it was a bit sweet for one member of our group, it's definitely a place I'd go to, again. Next time, I'm getting the Toffee Banofi sundae!
Keep it up, Sweet Republic! I look forward to tasting another sweet treat, the next time I visit.
On our way home from house warming party in North Scottsdale, I remembered I had a coupon for buy one get one free for Sweet Republic. This was my first visit at Sweet Republic and after tons of great reviews, my expectations were set and they were met. We both had the apple pie and Real Mint Chip. This is unlike any other ice cream I have ever had, it was delectable. I am happy I got to try this place.
Thanks Yelp!
I think I am a fan to the point of ridiculous. Also, Kevin H and I seem to be in a race to empty out this place of all its goods, but at least he has someone to share his mondo stash with.
Me? 4 pints in my freezer this weekend: peaches & cream, sweet corn (that's right, sweet corn), basil lime sorbet, and mocha sorbet.
All for me.
And I was supposed to fit into all my old work slacks by my birthday next month.
HA HA HA HA HA HA.
Ok, but seriously. Regardless of my gut, this dessert does not make me angry.
5 stars.
So last night I had the honor of meeting Helen Y and Jan W on a windy First Friday evening.
And this…

We were in North S-Dale last night for a poker game and lost on purpose so we could get to SR before it closed. Still great, still wish it weren't so far from me.
I got a scoop of Mojito and a scoop of the ever-popular basil-lime. They were great together, the mojito is very minty and sweet. The Basil lime will kick you in the pants. Interesting how we always think of basil as a savory taste, but works so well in this sweet treat.
Yum. Too bad it's not in a strip mall that has more going on so they could get more business. This would be a terrific place for a little indie movie theater...
We used to live at 90th and Shea, a mere stone's throw from Sweet Republic. Then we moved to CenPho,… Read more »
There is not a lot that I can say that hasn't already been written about, but if you are on a dairy free diet, this IS the PLACE for frozen confections. They have a very good selection of homemade dairy free sorbets. Coconut, pineapple, chocolate, lime mojito are some of the current flavors which are all excellent. This place has found the magical balance between flavor and sweetness in their sorbets which is pretty hard to do. Some other menu items for non-dairy foodies include homemade marshmallows which they can roast for you. They also have a chocolate sorbet/ice cream made with a goat's milk base.
They say that you should never try to reinvent the wheel. This tiny adorable, ARTISIANAL Ice cream shop with the pop culture color scheme decor, is proof positive that every now and then...you should. If you live in the Scottsdale/North Scottsdale area, and you ever even dream of setting foot in another ice cream shop, you are doing both yourself and the culinary arts a dis-service. Notice the highlighted ARTISIANAL: Helen & Jan, the Goddess' of Ice Cream, pay more attention, dedication, and innovation; to the quality and purity of their ingredients then most restaurants claiming themselves as fine dining today. The flavor combinations of their ever changing roster are so consistently, mind blowingly intriguing and succesfully palate enlightening, as to have single handedly elevated ice-cream to a new plateau. Heavenly. Whether you opt for such gastronomical adventures as Rochefort & Dates, Classics like Vanilla Bean, or something in between like Apple Pie & Mojito, you will fall in love. Foodie Agape (thats true love, ya know) Even if you decide a particular flavor is not for you, you will sit in awe and adoration at the fact that they dared to go where no ice cream shop has ever gone before...
Ice cream, if there is in fact a God...will never be the same again.
Damn you Sweet Republic, just when I am weening myself off of 'indulgent' foods, I decide to try you on Saturday and now I'm addicted......
Since I have no self-control, I opt for the 3 scoop cup - Vanilla Bean, Belgian Chocolate and Almond Buttercrunch. I believe I chose wisely, but yet again, there are many options to choose from and now I (am forced) will have to try them all.....
The Almond Buttercrunch, I'm speechless.... So, rich, creamy, the texture sublime.... Succulent ice cream, super rich, decadent.......
Sweet Republic has a license to print money, truly fantastic... It is truly Artisan Ice Cream....
I am looking forward to trying these flavors next
Bananas Foster
Hot Chocolate
Mayan Chocolate
Rocky Road
Peppermint Chunk
being a rather simpleton, i like my salads with lettuce, tomato, and oil and vinegar...my fish simply baked...my veggies raw....
the ice cream here was very tasty. full of fancy flavors and bits-o-ingredients. but i guess if you want plain ice cream, you go to the supermarket and buy a gallon of store brand. we were cruising the greenbelt at night and saw their sign for "voted best ice cream" by the new times, so we decided to hit this place up. it's super cute and modern, but what's so great about this place is the staff.
our "server" was completely into the concept of "artisan" ice cream (only in scottsdale can a word like artisan be applied to ice cream...it's not simply "homemade"). she was super passionate and lively and gregarious, which i really like...because i know she's serving a product she enjoys herself and also wants others to enjoy.
i had the peach cobbler one and my girl had the basil sorbet. both were very delicious, but at over 6 bucks for 2 small cups, we'll probably have to save our dollars for the supermarket next time. if you have the cash to spare for a snack/dessert, check this place out.
Okay, I said I wasn't going to do this but I couldn't resist.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jalapeno Avocado and Mayan Chocolate. There are no words...
Oh...Ooooh...Oooh my god! ...Yes! Yes! ...Oh erm...hi..ahem...didn't see you there...I was just enjoying some Sweet Sweet love..er I mean Sweet Republic... Oh who am I kidding?! Sweet Republic and I are having a naughty naughty affair!
Sinfully delicious ice creams that make you feel a little dirty to tell people about...and you almost don't want to because they might eat up the limited flavours before you get there...but it is so goddamned good that you have to brag...so you do it anyhow...and people look at you funny because you are drooling a little..and you moan a tad between flavour descriptions...so they look at you funny!...until they try it because then they know! Yes darling, sometimes when we make love I fantasize about chocolate billy.
Sweet Republic makes the best ice cream in America, as far as I'm concerned. I've been to the place several times and I have never had anything which was less than amazing. Everything is made in the store, from ice cream to sorbet to cookies and waffle cones.
Both of the owners are wonderful people who clearly have a passion for making and sharing great ice cream. They also use as many local ingredients as possible. Recently, I've enjoyed Peaches & Cream ice cream made with fresh peaches from a local farm.
Also, Sweet Republic as come up with some flavors which one wouldn't think to put into ice cream, but at this place, different is magic. Jalapeno Avocado, Bacon and Guinness are all flavors I've had here.
But, Sweet Republic also brings the magic to common flavors and does them brilliantly. Their Belgian Chocolate is to die for if you're a chocolate lover and their Mocha sorbet is fantastic. Finally, the pinnacle of Sweet Republic's flavors is the Salted Butter Caramel. A true description of the taste of this ice cream is really impossible, but it is wonderful.
Forgive me wedding diet god, for I have sinned... I splurged again last night. But, it was a holiday, so that is my excuse!
My job was to bring dessert to our Passover dinner, so I decided Sweet Republic would be perfect. I probably overdid it a bit... I brought 4 pints and and extra 'double' for our group of ten. Don't worry though, we didn't eat it all!
I mixed it up a bit this time and brought the following flavors:
*Vanilla Bean
*Salted Butter Caramel Swirl
*Basil Lime Sorbet
*Coconut Sorbet
*Strawberry Sorbet
I think the basil lime sorbet was the overall hit, but my brother and i favored the coconut. It is creamy and tastes exactly like real coconut, it's amazing! No pint went untouched though, and Sweet Republic was the talk of the group for quite some time.
I obviously took all of this 'to-go' and didn't realize until I went to unpack it that Helen and Jan had packed in bags with plenty of ice - so smart!
Sweet Republic has it going on... if you haven't been yet, it's worth a trip! And now you can also find them at the Old Town Farmers Market every Saturday! Enjoy!
Berry revolution... that's the way to go at Sweet Republic! Actually, I don't think you can go… Read more »
SR is on my way home from work just off the 101 and Shea. I've stopped there half a dozen times in the last several months and enjoyed the most incredible ice cream ever. Yesterday, I had the Key Lime Pie ice cream and thought I had died and entered key lime heaven. I LOVE key lime pie and this is better! The ice cream creates a greater depth of flavor and a wonderful mouth feel that pie can't compare to. The graham crust inside is also nice and crunchy. Get this flavor while you can.
While the country has been under a spell of gelato and frozen yogurt over the past few years, it's really nice to see good old-fashioned ice cream making a quiet comeback. Sweet Republic is the perfect illustration of how ice cream can be just as "hip" or trendy as their fellow frozen dessert counterparts. Here you're looking at pure organic and often seasonal ingredients. And, in many cases, items sourced locally. The only thing I'm truly disappointed with?
There is no location central Phoenix. Come Midtown or Downtown, please.
Side-note: Major kudos on your recent mention in this month's Bon Appétit, as one of the nation's "Hot 10 Ice Cream Shops." I cannot tell you how excited I was to open my monthly issue, only to see a local favorite of mine profiled in a such a prominent way.
Okay, I'm done gushing.
This place RAWKS! Been to many sorbet, shaved ice, frozen yogurts, gelato and ice-cream joints from LA to Chicago (not NYC yet)...this is the PLACE! I tried the Brownie Swirl and Salted Butter Caramel ice cream and I'm in love. The molasses cookies are delicious.
Upon arrival I was greeted by an eyeful of beautiful frozen and baked goods. Already a happy camper the clean and modern decor iced it as a five star vacation fer me in the AZ heat.
The two owners were great and very friendly (five stars fer being cool). I can't wait to finish my take home pint and head back to try another flavor.
So not like after 63 reveiws and still a 5 star rating is my review necessary as I think we all get the point....BUT it is just so good I have to put in my 2 cents!
The flavors, the textures, the sweet girls behind the counter...everything is fantastic! I love love love the salted butter carmel and the basil lime sorbet is wonderful!
Seriously...can't get enough of this place!!
As good as it gets!
The ice cream is great. My favorite was the sundae with salty caramel. They offer exotic flavors as well as traditional ones.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I love this place
My boyfriend who hates sweets even loves this place
Salted butter caramel... yum.
Honey yogurt...nonfat... YUM
I love it.
I'll be honest: I had never heard Sweet Republic until recently. I'm not sure how I let that happen; it won "Best Ice Cream" from the New Times in 2008. Failing to try ice cream that can be described as "Best" is unforgivable, in my book. But at long last, I got my first taste.
I'll be back to taste again.
Descriptions of really good ice cream seem cliché: rich, creamy, smooth, clean, flavorful. But even so, they apply. They make their ice cream and sorbet from quality ingredients, from scratch.
The only flavor I tried was the salted butter caramel (or something like that), and it was fantastic. And they have many more flavors to try.
So I'll be back.
If I lived in the area I would frequent this ice cream shop.
It was suggested I give this place a try from fellow yelpers and I am glad I got here this past weekend.
Like many places in Scottsdale the store is in a strip mall and it was a little hard to locate, but once we walked in I knew I would like whatever I choose.
I selected the Salted Butter Caramel consisting of soft buttery caramel ribbons in creamy vanilla with a sprinkle of salt. It was SO GOOD! Definitely an adult flavor.
It's a little on the pricey side, but as a sweet treat it was great.
I also liked that they are proud of their yelp reviews and had a sticker for yelp on their door.
Gourmet ice cream at it's best. I stumbled upon this place in a vacation magazine that gave great reviews & since I was heading down to Scottsdale, I thought why not stop by & check it out.
This place makes all of their ice cream, frozen yogurts & sorbets. It doesn't get any better than "homemade" stuff in small batches.
The Salted Butter Caramel was wonderfully creamy, light with just enough hint of salt. Almost tasted just like Fleur de Sal caramel.
The Peanut Butter Chip was made with organic slow churned Virginia peanuts & chocolate chips. I have to admit, I'm crazy about PB & if it's not organic then forget it! Imagine my surprise when I was told that it was made with organic peanut butter...YUM! The flavor was packed with PB, not so much that it overwhelms you, just enough to tantalize your taste buds. It was sweet & salty at it's best & what can you say about PB & Chocolate? 2 tastes that taste great together!
The Basil Lime Sorbet was super refreshing with a tang of lime, perfect for any hot day.
I'm definitely a fan of this place, the only downfall for me is that it's 800 miles away.
Stop by this place if you're ever in the neighborhood. You won't be disappointed with the varieties of ice cream that they offer & the great service behind the counter.
My husband and I came back after a little dinner at Roka and I stuck with the sorbets and yogurts per my plan and I wasn't disappointed this time. I tried a lot of flavors but ultimately decided on the Grapefruit Strawberry Mint Sorbet (maybe it was called Mojito - it definitely had grapefruit in it though) and a scoop of the Desert Honey Nonfat Yogurt.
Both flavors were delicious and Sweet Republic totally redeemed themselves. I tried their Mango Lassi while we were there and they inspired me to make my own this weekend. I added a pinch of cardamom and some rose water to mine. So good. I love it when a restaurant inspires you. I will definitely be back to Sweet Republic. There are more flavors that they rotate in that I have on my wish list to try.

I absolutely loved my first experience at Sweet Republic and am already looking for reasons to go back. I believe I will start taking all of my friends one at a time (this means many more trips for me)! I loved the customer service, the flavors and the passion that they clearly have for creating wonderful flavor combinations.
Choosing was the hardest part! I was only able to decide on what to have after I consoled myself with the knowledge that I would be back soon and could have something different...
This is the best ice cream shop in the Western United States. This is one of those you are an idiot if you don't go there. For all lactose intolerant people (including myself) they have fantastic sorbets available like Basil Lime. Fav ice cream: roquefort blue cheese and dates (ok, I took some tums for it and it was worth it).
Do note that they change their flavors around often so it may be different when you go.
Another note, this is the same place that was featured recently in Bon Appetit.
Mint chocolate chip with lots of real mint...mmmmm! Lime-Basil sorbet. YUM!
We tried the famous Cheese Duo but had to go with the Mint Chocolate chip since it's a personal favorite. The owner was super nice explaining the flavors & offering samples. When we asked when they would be serving lychee again she actually offered to put a request in with the ice cream maker. Now that's personal service!
I guess it's a good thing I don't live there or I'd be 30 pounds heavier. Go check it out. You won't be sorry!
Great new flavors tonight. Lychee sorbet (amazing), cantaloupe sorbet & meyer lemon ice cream all rocked.
Noticed one thing I'd never seen in all my visits. They have power outlets all down their bench seating (nice & out of the way). Realized that with that, the free wifi & the excellent coffee they have, it ain't just an ice cream shop.
From time to time, I work out of coffee shops & meet in coffee shops but never thought of Sweet Republic that way. My bad.
Like I need more reason to keep coming back here....
I've been a huge fan of Sweet Republic for a long time. Unfortunately we'd been absent for a while.… Read more »
