On warm summer evenings, Wednesday nights after CROYA, or during an awkward first date, laughter seems to fill the air at every occasion at Sweet’s. Most people order ice cream from their wide variety of flavors but, fresh toffee, caramel and chocolates are made fresh almost every day. “Cashew ladybugs and the pecans are my favorite,” Sweet’s worker Alberto said. “On Sunday’s I make caramels and peanut apples.”Every scoop represents a sense of community and simple joys in life. </div></body>
