Cute local ice cream place that service hard & soft ice cream as well as frozen lemonade. Two things you should be aware of before going: 1 they are more expensive then other places and they charge between $1.16 - $1.62 per topping including whip cream and cherries. #2 they have limited staff, so be prepared to wait. There are usually 1 or 2 people working, but I've never been when there isn't a line, so it can take a while.

Witnessed very rude & inappropriate behavior on behalf of female employee who refused to serve someone ice cream. Customer in store said he has a mild wheat allergy and was ok with a little cross contamination as would only at worst cause him some hives. Don’t think server should assert her own discretion as to what a customer can or can’t have. Very odd & very awkward. Server making rude faces. Would NOT recommend this place.

I always come here a lot because I live nearby. This one time really makes me consider coming back. I paid for 3 different icecreams and received 2. The one I didn’t receive I go ask about it and say I didn’t receive it. The young lady then proceeds to say she already made it and I already received it. I explain to her that I was not the one who she gave it to and I did not receive the icecream. She then says I already made the icecream and implies I am doing it to receive a free icecream. I have enough money to buy icecream and I am here with my kids. I know whether or not my kids are eating icecream. The service is great while paying but the system of saying the number and sometimes not saying the number doesn’t work because people take other icecreams and the people who actually pay for their icecream are accused of being scummy and receive rude service.
EDIT: After the response from owner , I will give this place 4 stars. I love coming here but being accused and given rude service isn’t right because someone else took my icecream. I did receive the icecream from another worker and the lady from the payment system was very nice and icecream is of good quality.

Whatever ice cream the new owners are using is very delicious! Workers always have a smile on their face and are very friendly and courteous. And the best part about this place is the FREE PUP CUPS! They are a cup of whipped cream topped with peanut butter sauce and a little dog bone. Our dog loves them which validates my reason for having to go here at least once a weekend ?

Old school ice cream shop. Ton of different flavors, you could get either soft serve or hand scooped. They had so many different toppings you could add on as well.

It takes alot for me to want to leave a bad review, but sweet licks has gone down the hill. I ordered 6 small ice creams today for my family. 4 small hard ice creams in a cup, 1 small soft serve In a cup and a small soft serve in a cone. I received my small soft serve and small hard ice cream at the same time only to be given 2 different size cups. So I asked if my Hard ice cream was a small or maybe they messed up. She tells me it's a small. I said, but this is a small, pointing to the soft serve. The girl said yea I know and tried to explain why it was a different size, but couldn't come up with a good answer and then asked me if she wanted to ring me up for another scoop. I laughed and said no. Why the hell is the small hard ice cream the size of a SAMPLE CUP. The size of kiddie size ice cream??? Why isnt it the same freaking size as the soft ice cream??? Why did I pay $5 something for a sample cup???? I gave a $3 tip to the girls on top of it. Which this isn't their fault, they were trained to offer this mess. You will lose customers in the neighborhood before you know it. Especially when an ice cream shop that offers the proper sizes is 5 min away. And I was complaining about the toppings price being $1.62, until that tiny cup came out. Unbelievable. I paid $45 for samples.Since I can't reply to response back, I have to edit my review.I take my children to get ice cream from a few local ice cream shops, and not one serves their small in a tiny sample cup. They of course put one scoop, but that one scoop will always be inside that typical small cup. Never in a sample cup. You can see it's one scoop and that's fine. I'm not complaining over the one scoop, that's expected, if i wanted 2 scoops I would have asked for it. Your young crew is only doing what they were trained to do. Other than their eye rolling towads customers, they were fine.I can't imagine other customers won't give you a hard time seeing the size of that cup when asking for a small. That's an embarrassment. When someone is paying over $5 for an ice cream, plus almost $2 for one topping, and then get handed a tiny cup where you can can't even put toppings on the icecream without it falling off, it's wrong and it's a joke. I've been told many times Sweet licks was too expensive, but still wanted to give my local ice cream shop business. Now I see what they meant.

I adore this little ice cream shoppe! Even more so since it's been reclaimed by a local veteran family. They make a point to support local brands - like Warwick Creamery. I'm a fan of the Oreo flavor, my kiddo is a Pistachio lover and my husband likes a Banana split. I found everything to be quite generous. Prices are reflective of the premium brands.

the girl with the red braids and glasses was so helpful and patient and got my order exactly right the ice cream was delicious i loved every second of the experience 10/10
Best soft serve around! Flavor is great, if I wasn't trying to watch what I eat I would have gotten another serving!
The sauces here are better than a lot of other places. ♡ The portions are generous. It's all around a better value for what you get. (Strawberry shortcake sundae pictured. About $15 for 3 items.)
Let me start off by saying ILL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN. I'll never give this establishment my hard earned money or better yet my TIME. TODAY I wasted money and a tip, plus my time, which i value more than 5 dollars.I went there today with my family my two kids. We all got ice-cream except my 9 year old, She ordered herself and ordered a lemonade. I corrected her when I heard her say large and said no she'll have a medium. Because she doesn't need a large. Then she went about ordering, I didn't hear what flavors she got or anything else. We get our ice cream and were sitting down on the bench, they hand out her lemonade and my husband walks over with it confused.. I look at it and its a cup of liquid. Absolute liquid. Zero slush. I say what is that and I walk back over to the counter, and I say I can't take this we need something else, this isn't lemonade this is juice.. the girl says..but I told you that.. and i say u told me what? You didn't tell me anything. She said I told you the machine wasn't working and its not going to be frozen. My daughter says, no she said it wasn't going to be completely frozen. This was an interaction I did not hear when she ordered. So I told her, you told my daughter that and she's 9 years old she obviously didn't understand that it was going to be COMPLETELY liquid.. why would someone order liquid? WHY WOULD U EVEN serve liquid, if the machine isn't working then it shouldn't be used. The girl at the counter kept saying over n over but I told you...but I told you, not wanting to do anything about it.. the customers next to me see the juice and they say omg is that frozen lemonade and I said yeah.. and the customer says there not taking it back??!! I'll complain for you. I said no there not. So im not gna make a scene with my children there because ill start cussing and its not worth doing tht in front of my children and to a child no less who obviously has no experience in customer service and not enough sense to not serve a cup of liquid from a machine that isn't working.. so I left the cup of liquid there and we left. Everyone got something except my 9 year old. Who does that to a child??!! Well never come here again and we've been here plenty of times. Ill make sure to let EVERYOME I know to never come here again. Shame on you guys. I wish I took a picture but my phone was dead and didn't feel like bringing a cup of liquid to my car. Should I have fully listened to my daughters order, apparently yes I should have but who would of thought ordering lemonade could go so wrong, if it had been some slush and liquId okay. But a full cup of liquid come on now. Its okay though I went to Palagis right after and got my daughter real lemonade with real customer service. Thank you palagis for your friendly service and actual frozen lemonade. I had a talk with my daughter about anytime someone says a machine isn't working to not order that product because it won't be good and they don't have enough sense to not serve it.And please do contact me or respond so I can let you know again about your poor service.
Nice place great prices large selection
