Located at 48 Corinth St in Roslindale, MA, Sweeties is more than just an ice cream shop — it’s an immersive New Zealand-style experience that transforms ordinary treats into extraordinary delights. From the moment you walk in, the friendly, knowledgeable staff guide you through a menu that is both creative and customizable, inviting you to truly craft your own sweet destiny.
The menu stands out with unique signature creations such as the Toasted Coconut, a rich and nutty pleasure that balances creaminess with a subtle toasted crunch. The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough with Cheesecake Bites and Whip Cream delivers a decadent marriage of textures and flavors, harmonizing the classic nostalgia of cookie dough with lush cheesecake bites, all crowned by a cloud of whipped cream. Meanwhile, the Sweeties Maple Creemee captures a Vermont-inspired maple sweetness that’s smooth and deeply satisfying—perfectly embodying a cozy New England vibe.
What truly distinguishes Sweeties is their TOO THICK Milkshakes, priced at $9.50. This build-your-own experience allows you to select the milk of your choice, a base ice cream flavor, up to three mixins, and unlimited toppings. It’s not just a milkshake; it’s a playful, indulgent journey tailored exactly to your tastes—luxuriously thick, intensely flavorful, and visually irresistible.
The house-made favorites are other highlights that shouldn’t be missed. The Madhrasi Iced Chai vanilla ice cream is spun with Madhrasi chai spices, topped with crushed waffle cone pieces and sprinkled with waffle cone dust—a fusion of aromatic spice and crunchy texture that sings with authenticity. Sweeties Gone Sour innovates with a vanilla base blended with sour patch cream and topped off with a tart raspberry drizzle, whipped cream, sour gummies, and housemade sour grapes—an adventurous, playful contrast to traditional sweetness. The Funny Bunny, inspired by carrot cake, also showcases Sweeties' gift for mixing bold, unexpected flavors.
One of the most compelling menu options is My Ice Cream Creation ($6.75), which empowers guests to select a base flavor, add up to three mixins, and unlimited toppings. This personal customization taps into a growing trend that values individual creativity and freshness, making every visit a unique experience.
From the glowing reviews by patrons like Shawn Ramnath, who appreciated the friendly staff and New Zealand style, to Shaunie M.’s celebration of the shop’s vibe and remarkable flavor variety, the experience is consistently praised for its high-quality, fresh ingredients and welcoming atmosphere. Customers note the light, not overly sweet texture of the ice cream that sets Sweeties apart from conventional creamier or heavier versions. The collaboration between staff and guests creates an inclusive space where recommendations—like Cedric Honigberg’s mango non-dairy with graham cracker topping or Diem Allis’s coffee-blueberry combination—become part of the discovery process.
Overall, Sweeties excels at melding innovation with comfort. Each dish is an exploration in flavor, balance, and texture perfected by a thoughtful approach to New Zealand ice cream tradition. The pricing feels fair given the craft and quality involved, and the cozy, friendly ambiance of this woman-owned business adds an extra layer of warmth to every visit.
