I have been coming to Sweet Retreat since the OG location was open before it burnt down! Every time I visit I always stop here for froyo or ice cream. The best ice cream in SSJ! The frozen yogurt is so good. Always my go to. I also love the marble fudge. The scoops/ portions are huge. Usually gets pretty packed in the evenings, so expect to wait in line depending on the time you go. Especially in the summer. Definitely worth it though.

This was my first time coming in here! The service and the ice cream were amazing and delicious. I felt like a kid again getting ice cream.

I came here with my family for dessert after eating at the nearby tofu house. the worker was very kind when we first entered and she let us try a bunch of samples before ordering. the interior is cute and they also sell ice cream flavors by the tub. we all got singles in a cone and each one is around $5. I would say it's reasonable since they put a decent amount of ice cream on it and because they have a bunch of cool and tasty flavors. overall, this is a nice ice cream spot to try if you're ever in the area.

The young lady who assisted us was helpful. She gave us some great recommendations and let us sample different ice cream flavors --there were a lot of flavors to choose from! The ice cream is excellent--creamy, delicious, and not too sweet. Some of our family favorites include health bar crunch, mint Oreo cookies, toasted almonds, and old-fashioned vanilla. It's nice to have a different ice cream shop in the area with an assortment of flavors different from what's typically available at commercial spots. Come check out Sweet Retreat for a delightful retreat!

With tantalizing ice cream flavors like strawberries n cream, peppermint fudge ripple, and chocolate fantasy (though they were out of this on a Sunday afternoon), as well as various sherbet flavors and frozen yogurt toppings, they have a lot to choose from on their menu. I got a chocolate milkshake, the small size was plenty, and FYI they only offer whole milk as an option here. Nothing too special about the shake, but the flavor was good enough and the thickness just right. Service was sufficient, no unreasonable waits or problems. No seating available at this ice cream shop, but the place was clean and bright during my recent visit, and there's a huge parking lot making it easy to park, get your stuff, and take it to go.

OMG. This was the hugest portion of frozen yogurt that I've had that was called a "mini." Besides the quantity, the consistency and flavor were perfect. Sweet Retreat managed to balance the milky and tangy flavors perfectly. The service was fine. One downside is that they don't have any indoor seating.

Such a solid spot for your sweet cravings! Been coming here for years and nothing has changed ( in a good way ) ! There is always a variety of flavors to choose from and their frozen yogurt is just as good as their ice cream. We stopped by at a pretty busy time but service was fast and efficient. The reason I love sweet retreat is how you really get your moneys worth with how much you get. Portion size is huge even for a small!

LOVEE the yogurt here! I love how I can choose the mix-in ingredients and they will blend it up for you! I usually only get Strawberries and Banana blended in plain yogurt. The yogurt is thick so don't worry if it'll be too liquid. This mix is usually on the more tart side, not too sweet! When I choose to mix in fruits, it usually has a slight texture which adds to the mouthfeel. Sweet retreat is located in a plaza so there is plaza parking. There is limited seating, there's no indoor seating, but there is a bench outside. I've noticed during the summer / warmer nights they would have tables outside.

They weren't busy tonight. And we were wish washy on what we wanted. Good thing there wasn't anyone else there. Sometimes there is a long line. They were super patient and helpful and offered samples. Thank you for helping us tonight! The yogurt and almonds were yummy. Yogurt lets me feel less guilty. Husband likes his sundaes with pineapple and lots of nuts. Very generous sizes. Daughter always gets her favorite blackberry in a waffle cone. You can bring home containers too. Not much seating. There is a bench outside. We eat in the car or take it to go.
