Walking down Main St. with my fiance and discovered Paradise Ice. Its a dessert place that offers Italian Ice and Premium organic custard. The structure is very clean and new. The co-owner was actually working today. He was very nice and patient. He even explained that all the prodcuts were fresh and made by him and his wife daily. The had a about 8 flavors each of italian ice and the custard. We both decided to get the custard. I got the butter pecan and he got the trail mix (cranberries, nuts, pretzels, and nuts). And for just a regular cup he gave us a plentfiul serving. The custard was a lot better than the custard I had tried twice at Ritas. It tasted just like he said, "a premium ice cream". I loved it. The shop had about 6 tables and some decorative art on the wall. He said that his wife took the photos of fruit and he framed them. Its fairly new, opened about 2 months ago but it a decent location to build business. If I ever had to go to Main St. again I would deifnitely stop there on a nice sunny day and enjoy some more of there products! They also sell coffee

this place is truly amazing - coming from someone who doesnt care for ice cream but is married to, well... an ice cream "snob" hehe. the vibe is laid back, inviting & is "user friendly" - i feel like im overwhelmed with menus from similar shops. the employees are very passionate & accommodating! my husband mentioned the ice cream sandwich of the month (peanut butter and jelly, yum!) so i knew i had to get some - despite the fact that i was making an hour long trip home... these sweet folks hooked me up with four sandwiches and even gave me an ice pack for my bag! so lovely & sweet - very appropriately named!

Must have wandered in about quarter to eight. Colorful decor inside; befitting a place run by a couple who make their own sorbets, but not overwhelming. Guy tells me its been his wife and him for about a year and a half. I scan the chalkboard menu and order a boring chocolate milkshake, telling him Id never heard of the place, despite having taken my share of walks down Main. He asks if Im killing time before the 8:00 at the Nickelodeon next door, and I surprise myself telling him the truth: Im waiting for the bars to open. I walked around downtown with that milkshake. Could have been a worse night.

We stopped by to have dessert here while on the search for some ice-cream. Let me tell you, this place is top notch. VERY, knowledgeable staff! If you are wanting to try something new that you cant find elsewhere, this is the place to go. I was pleasantly surprised and I also love the fact that when they run dry on a tub of ice cream, they fill it with an entirely different flavor. Great place to take a date or to just get the family out for dessert!

Really good local creamery. They have very unique flavors and they continue to change out so theres always something new to try. I had the peach cobbler and blueberry basil - was delicious. Great location too right on Main Street, they were in need of a good ice cream place! Only thing was.. they dont have toppings. Im kind of a toppings person. But they want everything to be natural and locally made.. so I cant complain about that I suppose.

Ive been to sweet cream several times and love the ice cream. My boyfriend complains its not sweet enough, but I think its just right and not too sweet. We would go more often, but the hours are not convenient. I also bring my own plastic spoon because they serve their ice cream with little wooden spoons. Overall great ice cream but please please please stay open later so more people can enjoy it.

This has become my favorite place for ice cream. Everyone is very friendly and helpful, but the ice cream and sorbet is some of the best Ive had in a long time. Ive had a lot of the flavors and loved them all, but if the White Chocolate Raspberry Almond or the Goat Cheese Agave Walnut is on the menu Im grabbing a pint or two. The cookie sandwiches are also amazing, I try to get one every month.

Great little ice cream shop downtown. Theyve got very imaginative flavors mixed with more conventional choices, and everything is delicious. They have coffee drinks and shakes, too. Sweet Cream is owned and run by a husband and wife couple who clearly take a lot of pride in their product. Go here for a date and take a stroll along Main Street while you eat your ice cream.

Stopped here after the Zoo with my daughter and grandchildren. Nice little place right in downtown with some very interesting flavors of ice cream and sorbet. I had Lemon Blackberry Thyme Sorbet which was really delicious and refreshing. My 4 year old granddaughter had the Banana Curry flavored ice cream and loved it. Highly recommend this little oasis of refreshment.

I LOVE this place. Im all about supporting good-quality local business, and this place fits the bill. Let me tell you, the ice cream is AMAZING. Delicious, home-made ice cream. They have different flavors every day so its always a surprise. The family who owns it (and operates) are so very nice so its just an all around good experience.

It is a shame there arent more places like this around our area. This is a small business, doing it right. Caring for the customer, and very proud of the product!!! I have tried almost every delicious ice and custard made and it is totally mind blowing!! I Love this place and you will too! Conrats, Paradise Ice, you blow me away!!

Very impressed by this custard and ice shop. They use in-season fruit and veggies (you can see the raw ingredients) from Columbia farms and gardens. The custard was delicious, matching and exceeding our childhood Wisconsin custard, and the owners are very friendly. Well worth a visit.

Delicious, carefully crafted ice creams and sorbets using fresh and local ingredients. Very unique flavors, some that change with the seasons. Nice space inside with limited seating, but great location to grab a scoop and walk down the scenic Main Street.

If you want chocolate or vanilla, get outta here! They have custom made ice cream and sorbet in flavors like burnt foot and cockatiel. Kidding, but they do offer stuff like fig and exotic flavors that rotate frequently. Dont be scared, youll like it.

Great gelato and tasty sorbets for those who are lactose intolerant or vegan. Flavors change daily with interesting and unique combinations you wont find anywhere else in town. Always a treat when getting dinner on Main Street or in the Vista.

This is probably my 6th+ visit to Sweet Cream. Love their ice cream! Today I got lemon poppyseed - superb! Last time tried granny Smith apple which was so yummy. Flavors are not run of the mill. Always fresh. Super cute place, too.

This place is AWESOME!! We have become regulars over the past few months. There ice cream cookie sandwiches are the best and their sorbet and italian ice flavors are always outstanding without being over-sweetened. Try it soon!

This is a fantastic locally-owned shop. The owners are super friendly, and they make some outstanding ice and custard. They also brew amazing coffee. Its always a pleasure to stop by and see them. Do yourself a favor and stop by.
