Sweet Scoops was a small shop on the Sonoma Plaza square where they make ice cream daily.   They change their flavors frequently and make their ice cream in small batches.   Owned by a husband and wife team, Joe and Ramie, it opened in July 2015.  It was in pursuit of their dream to “Make the world sweeter, one scoop at a time” and “eat ice cream, be happy” that they moved from Colorado with their children to craft ice cream and build a positive workplace to serve it in.   They now have a second shop called Darling, an Ice Cream Shop that serves the same ice cream.  While I loved their philosophy and flavor options it was not the strongest flavored ice cream ever but it was plenty acceptable.  The scoops came in different sizes and you could mix them in a cup.  They were nicely sized fairly soft ice cream.   It’s hard to go wrong with some well made ice cream on a warm day so if you’re walking the Sonoma Plaza I’d encourage you to give it a try and enjoy it at one of the outdoor tables and people watch.

Set-up

Food

I tried a combination of Salted Caramel and Honey Pistachio Fig.  The fig had lots of chunks of nuts and figs in the honey flavored ice cream.  It was my favorite of the two.  The Salted Caramel was sweet and tasty but didn’t have enough rich caramel streaks in it for my wants.

My husband tried the Salted Caramel and Boubon Coffee (and got a bite before the picture).  I really liked the flavor of the coffee.  He remarked that he found some ice crystals in his.
