Here in Phoenix, the name Sweet Republic is synonymous with amazing gourmet ice cream. The shop stands out from the competition by being unafraid to churn outside the box, creating sinfully insane flavors like I Heart Bacon, an addictive creation chock full of bits of caramelized smoked bacon; Sichuan Orange Chocolate, a classic duo spiced up with the delicate and floral Sichuan pepper; and Honey Blue Cheese, a sweet and savory combination made with local honey. Of course they craft more expected flavors too like bananas foster, rocky road, brownie swirl, and salted butter caramel, all made with quality fresh ingredients. Sweet Republic also makes desserts like ice cream cake, ice cream pie, ice cream sandwiches made with fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, and confections like bacon brittle and handmade marshmallows. This Scottsdale shop isn’t just a hit in the Valley; it’s gained national attention from Bon Appetit, Time Magazine, and U.S. News and World Report.

Like it or not (and we like it), the bacon trend isn't going away anytime soon. Helen Yung and Jan Wichayanuparp, owners of Sweet Republic, one of the best ice cream shops in the Valley and, according to Bon Appetit magazine, the entire U.S. of A., have a fondness for the meat candy as well. Made in small batches and available when it's available, Sweet Republic's "I Heart Bacon" is a cool creation made with addictive bits of caramelized smoked bacon and crazy-fresh ingredients. And if... More »
If you still have not tasted Sweet Republic ice cream, we instruct you to put this issue of "Best of Phoenix" down and proceed immediately to 91st Street and Shea in Scottsdale, or to a Whole Foods, and shove some of this stuff down your gullet. Your butt might grow, but you will thank us, because -- screw our Valley boundaries -- this is the best ice cream we've ever tasted, anywhere. The salted butter caramel is insanely rich, the perfect sweet/salty fix, and we've never tasted... More »
Talk about a cool idea.When number crunching started to wear thin, globetrotters Helen Yung and Jan Wichayanuparp left the world of finance for the world of ice cream -- and the Valley's better for it.Their adorable, citrus-hued ice cream shop, Sweet Republic, opened last year with a distinctive point of view and a uniquely tasty product that attracted the attention of foodies well beyond the vicinity of the Shea Boulevard strip mall where they sell a rotating selection of freshly...

If Phoenix in the summertime is hell, then Sweet Republic is pure heaven. So don't be surprised to find us at this cool, tangerine-colored ice cream shop, blissfully Web surfing (hey, we can't pass up the free Wi-Fi!) and nibbling at fresh, made-from-scratch artisanal ice creams. Owners Jan Wichayanuparp and Helen Yung opened their doors this summer -- not a day too soon, we say -- and quickly made a name for themselves with unusual flavors and premium ingredients, such as...

If Phoenix in the summertime is hell, then Sweet Republic is pure heaven. So don't be surprised to find us at this cool, tangerine-colored ice cream shop, blissfully Web surfing (hey, we can't pass up the free Wi-Fi!) and nibbling at fresh, made-from-scratch artisanal ice creams. Owners Jan Wichayanuparp and Helen Yung opened their doors this summer — not a day too soon, we say — and quickly made a name for themselves with unusual flavors and premium ingredients, such as rBST-free milk. We're keen on the salted butter caramel ice cream, lime-basil sorbet (so refreshing), and the addicting blue cheese ice cream. No, it's not as weird as it sounds; think sweet and seductive, like really good cheesecake.
This ice cream here is yummy..but the best part is the uniqueness! Yes, they have traditional flavors, but they also have fun flavors like corn, salted caramel, and bacon!...yes I said bacon! And I have had it - it's good!
