“Really good doughnuts of all kinds! Pretty pricey, to be honest, but I think it's worth it to treat yourself to their superb, delicious, big donuts of lots of different types and flavors. I haven't tried their ice cream yet, but the flavors listed on the menu sound delicious, with lots of unique options, too.

There are small seating areas indoors and outdoors, and it is located in a pretty, quiet neighborhood. I can see it being an enjoyable spot to meet with friends, read (maybe one of the books from their lending library), or take a moment to rest. I will definitely go back!“

We will always be your customers!“

“I have been here several times and all the treats are so delicious. I am dairy free and gluten free for my health, which makes finding a safe dessert difficult. Im so thankful to have found Sweet Emotion! I recently purchased the espresso brown sugar gluten free cookie and the gluten free cosmic brownie. They were both incredible, soft, full of flavor, and most importantly safe foods! We purchased the chocolate ice cream with caramel and it was so tasty, soft, creamy, and full of flavor. It has been hard to find a dairy free option that was this creamy!“

They have games and books for reading in the restaurant too. Such a great localy owned family establishment. We visit for every celebration and always try to make it in for $6 cup days. Gotta love a super delicious and healthy alternative to ice cream that focuses on family 🩷“

“Came back today to get chocolate chip cookies. Got big 4 chocolate chip cookies 2 chocolate chip brownies, 6 mini ones and then the lady told Us they made changes on their chocolate chip cookies this week Unfortunately I was not a fun of the new changes. I’m a little sad about it. I wish they bring back the old one 😭“

“I’ve been to Mr. Wingz many times and have never had a bad experience. The food is consistently amazing, and the employees are always polite and accommodating. It’s easily the best wing spot in Wichita.“

“Twisters is delicious!!!!“

“Sure, the ice cream is really good, but the service is off the charts. Just a typical Wednesday night and they are in the weeds. The line is out the door and you know they feel the pressure, yet continue to serve with a smile. Patience is key. It's not their fault that everyone in the area loves this place and happens to be here all at once. Rather than get frustrated, just sit back and watch them work. Your ice cream will come, and when it does, you will realize why it's worth the wait. You know about the lines and yet you still come back. That's saying something about the experience.“

“Awesomeness all around y'all.“

“I usually have bad experiences with restaurants and shops, but this place is a place to remember as the room feels like you're walking into heaven for cookies and more. AMAZING customer service and kept really clean inside and outside really makes you feel welcome. And the cookies are made just the way you order them. Makes me feel happy!“

“Ice cream was really good with great variety. Only issue was it comes out a bit melty. Not like custard usually does, since spinning the toppings in adds heat. It's a bit more than that even. Otherwise a great little shop for ice cream at what I felt was a good price.“

“Today, our homeschool program held a fundraiser here after school. There were only two workers, Nathan, and another young lady in the back. There were over 100 people in line. These two served everyone with a smile. They were friendly and got orders out as quickly as possible. I know they were probably feeling overwhelmed, but they did not show it. I’m sure they were exhausted once their shift was over! I hope the owner sees this, because those two definitely deserve a raise!“
