Sweetreats

Most awesome ice cream place! Blended toppings served in cone or cup. LOVE this place!

Save yourself some time and go ANYWHERE ELSE on the square.
First — the line is long. I get that they are custom mixing everything, but I’ve never seen more than one of the mixers in use
Second — the people working here are the unfriendliest, rudest bunch of humans. The last time we were there a kid pulled on of the Jelly Belly dispensers and one of the people behind the counter screamed — like crazy-​lady, banshee screamed — at this kid and went flying out from behind the counter to tell him off. It’s 5 jellybeans, lady, get over it.
Third — this place is dirty. I mean, I get that it’s a historic building and all, but would it kill you to wipe down the counters and clean the cobwebs from the corners?
Last — I’m flat out convinced that they are running some sort of scam. We have been 3 times — each time we went only because we had a gift card to use there. Never once have we been able to redeem it. The gift card reader has been «down» Every. Single. Time. No notice of this, no apology, just «oh, the gift card reader is down, so we’re going to have to run this on your regular card.» *dead eyed stare*

In my 30+ years of dealing with the public, I’ve never experienced the rudeness of a person that should be better trained.
We took our granddaughter to the Square on Saturday to have some fun and went in to get her a ice cream cone. We waited which seem like forever, while the manager was training another person. She never acknowledged us, as we sat there or apologize for the delay. She was training another person. I hope the new person didn’t pick up on that part of the training. (neglect a paying customer)
We ordered a kiddie cone and the bill came to $ 4.60 when I asked her about the price because it said $ 3.40, she rudely said you had two flavors. Vanilla and strawberry.
We ordered a strawberry cheesecake before and to my knowledge never paid for two flavors. But that wasn’t the point, it was the condescending, rude response that shocked me.
When I went back into get some napkins and she rudely told the person she was training to shut all the freezer doors. Wow
I was shocked at how somebody could be in a management position and deal with the public like that.
This manager need some people skills training
We won’t be back anytime time soon, we will spend our money somewhere else where were greeted with a friendly smile and appreciated and talk to in a friendly manner
We have always made a point to go to Sweet Streets when we visit the Square but after this incident will think twice.

I am mainly giving my three star rating based upon the fact that there was no gluten free menu and my nephew who has celiac disease and is completely gluten intolerant had to sit there and drink a soda while his younger brother and sister got ice cream (although he is 15 and promised it was okay). The employees had no idea what was and was not gluten free and could only offer things that «they thought might be» gluten free… well for someone who is gluten intolerant «might be» isn’t a good enough answer.

came here on a Monday night with a friend who was showing me around the area. I’m very into ice cream, having worked at a dairy for 5 years. When I first walked in to Sweetreats I was alarmed yet intrigued by the big drills. It’s a very interesting mixing technique that I haven’t seen before, however after my experience I am hopeful that I will never encounter one again. Service was very slow, and like I said it was a Monday night so it wasn’t too crowded. The ladies behind the counter seemed overwhelmed and weren’t the friendliest. The worst part of my experience was my ice cream and my friend’s shake. My ice cream, that went through the mixer, came out too soft almost melted, and my friends shake lacked any flavor. Over priced for the end product received.

Yummy!!! Definitely a place to try!!! I had the vanilla with brownie on a cone and it was delicious!!!

I love this place. It’s just like coldstone, but not coldstone. It’s their own business and it’s a cute little ice cream shop in the square with some great combinations of flavors.

Delicious! Wonderful flavors, fun choices, and pleasant service. We make Sweetreats a regular stop when we are in the Square.
Always cool to watch your order get mixed together in their ice cream drills!
Enjoy!

To whom it may concern,
It was before 10 o’clock before we made it to the store. Granted it was only 5 minutes prior but I called the store to ensure they would allow us to come in if we made it just in time. We parked and got to the door and the young lady repeatedly said «no we are closed!» We drove all the way from lawrenceville, GA. We love sweet treats and visit often. I cannot believe the attitude especially after we called to make sure they wouldn’t close early. We had 6 very said kids and 7 very sad adults. This service is unacceptable.

Amazing ice cream, extremely creamy and delicious. I’ve had their regular ice cream, and their milkshakes and both have been great. This beats cold stone or brusters by a long shot, if you’re definitely in the square I would get this as a treat.
As far as choices go, there are a ton, it will probably take you 2 – 3 minutes just to figure out what you want, and you can mix and match whatever you’d like too.

Old school ice cream place. Order the Nutella Cheesecake ice cream very impressed. Friendly service, so many different options to mix in with your ice cream and prices are descent. You definitely pay for what you get. I recommend this place if you are ever down in the Mariette Square.

I found this place on Unilocal.I loved everything about it. So many diffrent flavors and varieties. They have other restaurants in the area and its a great 1^st date spot!

Made a special first-​time trip to the Square to try out Sweetreats. Here’s the deal with Sweetreats. You have the choice of vanilla or chocolate ice cream. Then you figure out what you want mixed with it. They have their own creations (favorites are posted on the wall and on the counter), but can also create your own. One mix-​in is free. Others are 49cents each. Once you decide your toppings, they take their soft serve ice cream and mix the toppings using a machine (like a Blizzard machine pretty much). Note they also have coffee and a few other non-​ice cream treats.
I ordered Banana Pudding. Mix-​ins were banana and vanilla wafers. The toppings were pulverized. Wow. I think I would actually like a bit of chunks of both toppings actually. But it tasted pretty good. Next time I would try cookies and cream cause I saw a pic and it just looks delicious.
While not a huge establishment, there is plenty of seating space. Actually it seems that alot of folks take their ice cream to go.
Where this place could improve is with the staff. The two girls working were so apathetic. Can you please be somewhat cheery when you serve your customers. Man. What a buzzkill. There was another guy working and seemed to care a bit more about helping customers out.

Best ice cream!
Love this place. There are many places to get ice cream, but Sweet Treats is unique. The soft serve is good and the variety of mix-​ins is amazing. The machine that mixes everything together does it perfectly so the flavor is evenly distributed. The homemade waffle cone are the perfect way to enjoy the ice cream treat! This is a «must visit» place on the Marietta Square!

This little place is fabulous! Have your ice cream the way you want it mixed as you watch. Yum!

We were showing one of my husband’s colleagues and his family around the area because they are considering a transfer to the area. We stopped on the square because everyone should see Marietta Square, right? It was hellishly hot so we decided to pop in here to grab something cool. Even though we’ve lived in Marietta for 10 years now, there are just a lot of places we don’t really get to and this was one of them so it was our first time in. It won’t be our last.
Now, I’m not a fan of the tight spaces in here, especially on a busy Saturday afternoon. But once we were able to get our orders and get outside, that didn’t matter anymore. I ordered a nutella and banana chocolate shake and it was delicious. Our friends got ice cream and a float and my husband also got a shake and we all loved it. I loved that I could really taste the nutella and that they didn’t skimp on it.
A big bonus for me was being able to enjoy a treat here without feeling distressed afterward. I absolutely cannot eat at Cold Stone because I will instantly be really sick. I always worry when I get ice cream out somewhere but I was fine with this stuff.

Whoa! Talk about REAL ice cream. This place is über retro and the way they make their cream is verrry cool

I really love this ice cream. More so than other places that do the «mix-​in» concept. They use a custom made machine to swirl the flavors you pick. You start with the basic chocolate or vanilla and then add anything from chips, sauces, fruits, etc. The possibilities are endless.
Today I opted for the raspberry cheesecake, graham cracker and caramel. Yumm! I payed $ 5 fora smalls & 3 mix– ins
What I love the most about this place is their hours. They open late during the summer so 10−11pm depending on the night. It’s perfect when you’re hanging out at the square in the evening and get a sweet tooth ache.

I’m going to assume this place has such a high rating because, let’s face it, there’s not much else competition in Marietta. My girlfriend stopped in one night after dinner and it took nearly ten minutes for us to get our ice cream. Unfortunately there was only one employee working (at 8 pm on a Saturday night?) and there was a family in front of us being served, so we waited at our table until the counter girl finally brought our ice cream to us. The ice cream itself was okay, but it’s not made in house and I can just as easily buy Mayfield or a comparable ice cream on my way home at Publix. To top it off, both our ice cream cones had HAIR in it. One time, excusable. But four different times? No.
Their menu seems expansive enough to possibly be a decent coffee shop, but don’t waste your time or money here for ice cream.

So after telling my sister how awesome Sweetreats was, we decided to stop by here after she finished getting her tattoo on a cool and breezy Friday night. The line wasn’t super long so after placing our order-​chocolate shake with whip cream for my sister, vanilla shake for myself. We sat down at a small table to wait and watched the teenagers behind the counter work that fascinating drill machine twirl out ice creams and yogurts.
It didn’t take long to get our shakes and the first thing I notice was the inch short my shake was from the top of the cup… not the dome… that’d be for whipcream… but the mouth of the cup… a good inch short. But it didn’t bother me I just know to tip after I get my shake next time.
I also noticed how thin the shakes were. When we walked outside, I wasn’t happy with the cup of milk I was drinking, so I walked back in and asked could it be thickened up because it was really milky… It took a minute or two to reblend it and I was out the door again. But it was still too milky and the vanilla was just lacking in flavor as well.
I wanted to throw it out, but I stuck with it. I also tasted my sister’s shake and it was like drinking chocolate milk with some whipcream on top but she stuck with it as well.
As I know what they’re capable of… hence my first review… I dropped a star. Consistency makes for a great product and happy customers… and I wasn’t very happy, but maybe it was just an off night… So I’ll stick with ok instead of meh…
