Sweet Saint: Reviews & Ratings

This is hands down some of the best and freshest ice cream I have ever had. As a chocolate fiend I opted for the ice cream named desire. Normally a small scoop suffices for me after a nice meal but I ended up wiping out the entire cup because it is that good. I sampled some other flavors too that I would like to come back and try (plus take some proper photos for a review). The owners/staff are really amazing and so welcoming. Their product is their craft and their passion shows in their craft. I look forward to returning and shall spread the word among my colleagues when they have layovers in New Orleans.

This is the BEST ice cream I’ve ever had in my life. I’m not even exaggerating. This is art. I ended up choosing the Mona Lisa. It was hard because they were all so good. Amazing job and friendly service! Will absolutely be back!

This ice cream is INCREDIBLE. This may be one of our new favorite ice cream shops, anywhere. They have such inventive and unique flavors, including locally inspired flavors. They let us taste a bunch of them and all were fantastic. We had a hard time deciding but ended up loving our choices. Highly, highly recommend. Wish we could go back every day!

Best Ice Cream we have ever had! We've been all over the world, can't say I've ever found better ice cream! If you're anywhere near New Orleans make this a stop. Owner is super helpful and all the ice cream is made in-house. The Citron ice cream is sooo good! My wife had the coffee flavor and it was fantastic. You can't go wrong.

Went here a few days ago with a friend after I said we should go out for ice cream. When I tell you I had THE BEST ice cream here! They give you a warm welcome when you enter and the shop is clean and inviting. Their flavors are so unique and different. But hands down that lemon citron flavor is a DREAM! She said her hubby actually makes the lemon curd and I could taste the love! (I also had a season strawberry sorbet that was chefs kiss). It was so yummy! This will be a stop for me each time I visit from now on. Flavor. Friendliness. And excellent prices. Can’t be beat.

Best ice cream I’ve had in a very long time. He uses fresh, locally inspired ingredients with cane sugar, not corn, so the flavors stand out nicely. Not too sweet, which is an issue with most ice cream. And so creative! The owner and his daughter were working, and their mutual affection added to the feeling that what he does comes straight from the heart. She said it for me - “He’s brilliant with flavors.”
