Arizona Spot Named 'Best Ice Cream Parlor' In The State

As the days get longer and the weather gets warmer, you may be on the search for the perfect sweet treat to cool down. Fortunately, there are plenty of incredible ice cream parlors, shops and creameries around the state scooping out just what you need.

LoveFood knows to take sweet frozen treats seriously so it compiled a list of the best ice cream parlor in every state, and according to the site, the best in all of Arizona is Sweet Republic, an artisan creamy in Phoenix that puts time and effort into creating the best scoop of ice cream possible. Sweet Republic has multiple locations around Phoenix. Find your nearest location by visiting the website.

Here's what LoveFood had to say:

"At Sweet Republic, everything that goes into the artisan ice cream is prepared with care; we're talking handmade marshmallows and freshly baked chocolate brownies, for a start. The parlor also peels, pits, and chops ripe whole fruit to make sorbets. This attention to detail is one of the reasons it was awarded a James Beard Entrepreneur Fellowship. Popular flavors include cherry cheesecake, brownie fudge swirl, strawberry buttermilk, and coconut sorbet. Sweet Republic has locations in Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Tempe."
