Little pricey, but tasty ice cream and the service was friendly and efficient. The flavors on offer today could have been a bit more varied/interesting, but I found some more interesting ones in their freezer, such as this small container of lavender fig.Also got a cold brew coffee, which tasted okay but seemed a little weaker than most.

Nice homemade ice-creams. Loved their strawberry basil flavored one. Get an ice-cream from here and take a stroll in the park which is right across the road from this place.

Homemade gourmet ice cream. You can go fancy with a lavender flavor or order good old mint chip. Its pricey, but everything on the plaza is. Dont be afraid of the line out the door. They are properly staffed and it moves fast!!

Loved the ice cream. Great flavors... But honestly anything in those freshly made waffles cones is going to taste good.

Cute little ice cream shop just off the square in Sonoma. It smelled so good when we walked in! I got Butter Brickle, butter pecan ice cream with toffee bits. Very creamy and delicious. Ate our ice cream while we walked down 1st St.

Definitely a must try when you stop in Sonoma. They do not allow indoor seating but there is a small patio outside you can sit at. If you dont want to sit there the shop is just across the street from a park that has all kinds of benches and a playground for kiddos.

I had 2 scoops in a waffle bowl. My wife and Son had 1 scoop each in waffle cones. My 2 scoops combined werent as big as their one scoop. It was my birthday. Waffle cone is very tasty. Ice cream was good, but nothing special. Well be at michoaca

Tried a few of their flavors. Skip the vegan banana, but go for their madrone winery red wine fig and the coffee bourbon.Flavors are slightly subtle and not overly sweet.Very easy to eat dessert.Shop is friendly. They let you try before you buy.

Okay, if you didnt know NOW you will. Sweet Scoops is THE ice cream spot in Sonoma located on the square.Sweet Scoops is known for their sustainability, as well as creativity. They source local ingredients and use composable goods.The ingredients of each ice cream can be found listed inside of their parlor on a roll of butcher paper thats handwritten & changes weekly.They have an adorable front of house & even better outside area located directly in front of the shop in a sectioned and umbrella covered seating area.They have pints always available of our favorite flavors & we count down the days until Friday night movie night when we join the others in line for the greatest treat!!

Best ice cream in Sonoma. Great variety of flavors you actually want to try. Staff is always professional and friendly - even the high school kids. Feels like the kind of ice cream shop you grew up with. Love seeing the owners there behind the counter.

Review №22

One of the best icecream I ever had. I would say it is way better than anyof the high end icecream places like swensons or cold stones. I tried pineapple guava with macadamia nuts. Though it sounds funky, it was one one of the best flavors i ever had. My son tried oreos and cookie, Tiramisu and even they were equally good. All in all it is a 5 star place

A friend brought us 2 quarts of their ice cream, and it’s perfect! You can tell the quality right off, by how quickly it reaches creamy temperature.Unfortunately, I now crave This ice cream, and nothing else satisfies....

Review №39

The ice cream is good if you like ice cream. $4.50 for a scoop in a cup. I am sure that is minimum they can charge to survive but that is a lot for one small scoop. But this is a tourist area and a trap for them. Like to see this be organic for $4.50.

Delicious little ice cream shop. The ice cream is creamy and they offer different cone options such as waffle cone, chocolate dipped waffle cone, and sugar cone. The french silk ice cream with the chocolate dipped cone was the best combination. I like that they have an option for a tiny scoop for those of us who are too full from dinner :)

The best ice cream in town, let alone the region. Handmade and always delicious, without being too sweet. They also are very patient if you want to try out different flavors before making your selection, though the line can oftentimes be out the door.

So happy to find vegan ice cream and gluten free cones at this gem. The chocolate vegan ice-cream was delicious. The owner spent many years developing the recipe and it shows.

Pleasant and fun atmosphere. I liked all the options including the dairy free! I was a bit surprised that they only had two sugar free options though with how many other flavors their were

Review №53

We saw this little spot as we were going to a nearby wine tasting. Even though there was a line out of the door, we were served really quickly. I got two scoops of the peaches and cream which was just amazing. The two people I was with ordered salted caramel and cookie dough. We didnt even talk for a few minutes after we order because we were too busy enjoying our home made ice cream. Definitely a must visit if you are in the Sonoma area.

Fabulous ice cream! They made me a delicious milk shake. The service was friendly and quick considering how busy they are. Have an ice cream and sit in the plaza. The price point is higher than say...a Baskin Robbins.Oh, and I forgot the best part. They make butter brickle!!!

This place is the best! I;m so glad Ben and Jerrys left and we got this gem on the plaza. The staff is amazing. If you dont make it over before they close, they will open back up to let you get your ice cream fix. And the ice cream is delicious.

I regularly walk to the plaza for the playground with my 4 year old. She wanted ice cream but u only had my samsung pay. Called and they accepted so we went and man you can SMELL this place from outside. Yum! Make one unforgettable memory with my daughter here and the staff was quick and super polite!

Review №65

Great local ice cream shop with wine country inspired flavors (think champagne, rosé infusions) plus standards like chocolate, strawberry, and unique offerings like orange cardamom. The line gets long but it moves fairly quickly. Worth a stop on a warm day in Sonoma!

Fl
Review №66

Youll probably smell this shop before you even see it. The smell of waffles baking at the back, coupled with the rich sweetness in aromas from the homemade icecream, youve got to try one or two scoops from them when youre here. Price is also very reasonable for the quality that youre getting. Just make sure you pass by the corner of the square when youre crossing the road and walking along!

A little taste of heaven with some artisan flavors. It will definitely be a frequent quick treat stop in our future!

Unique ice creams as well as shakes. Many choice. Several of the flavors had a bit of an alcohol taste to them.

Review №82

Delicious! The wait times are a bit much if theres a line, but mostly I think its because people have a hard time deciding. Fortunately, the staff proactively decided to start taking orders down the line to hurry up the process for people who already had an idea of what they wanted.

Review №83

The first time I came here I had the lavender ice cream and it was delicious! The second time I noticed they had a lot of nut ice cream (which Im allergic to) and asked if they could rinse the scoop for me. They not only rinsed the scoop, but they also got my ice cream from a new bin! They went the extra mile for my dietary concerns and that meant a lot.

Review №84

Unique flavors of Sonoma! Last time we got beer ice cream and shampain, today we tried with white wine. Also, plenty flavors for kids. There are two minuses: not many tables to sit and impossible to accommodate a party of more then 4, no options of sugar free or vegan.

Who would want to skip dessert in this perfect weather? Not my family. ‍‍‍ After having tapas we walked around sonoma searching for ice cream place. We saw a big line outside this shop. Lines means its famous spot. Lines moved pretty quick. I tasted the peach and black berry cheese ice cream. They were good but not as great as leatherbys in Sacramento.Since we were here, we got four different flavors with their freshly made cones. Cones were crunchy and delicious.Share reviewWrite an updateEdit reviewDelete review

Previously left a 5 star review; ice cream is always great and service is always friendly. This was until we went for dessert on 1/18/19 at around 8pm, the service was terrible and acting as if they just wanted to leave. On a prior visit to this shop, we had talked to a very friendly lady working behind the counter about making ice cream sandwiches with our choice of ice cream, opposed to the premade ones in the fridge. Tonight however, when we tried to order such ice cream, the staff said they had premade ones in the fridge(which is true), when I clarified and asked if we could have them made with a different flavor, they acted very standoffish and inconvenienced that we would ask such a thing. The question was talked about between staff members then turned around and said nothing to us. We ended up getting our ice cream after more rude service and leaving. Certainly a bummer to have such a poor experience from a great parlor. Not entirely sure well be back.

Review №98

Very creamy texture and high quality ice cream, but... Too many flavors with fancy addins, and they disguise the skill of the ice cream chef. Had the Fretzel, chocolate pretzels and toffee, I think. I forget if it was vanilla or chocolate ice cream. Thats kinda the point.
