One of the best ice-cream places I've personally been to! We walked in on a weekday late afternoon and was greeted by Amy. We were the only ones in the store so got a chance to taste a few flavors off the menu before we ordered:
An Ice-Cream Named Desire - Great if you like chocolate flavor ice-cream, I mean, how can you go wrong with chocolate?! "Made with three different chocolates prepared in a rich American/ European style hard ice cream."
Chicory n French Truck Coffee - tastes like the ice-cream version of the Kopiko candy if you've had it before. "French Roasted Chicory steeped with locally owned dark roast coffee and freckled with rich milk chocolate."
Bayou Mud - great flavor if you like brownies! "Rendition of traditional southern Mississippi Mud made with a combination of our Desire chocolate and marshmallow ice creams laced with house-made caramel ribbons, Louisiana's Caine River pecans, and chunks of gooey brownies"
The Mona Lisa - my personal favorite flavor as you can really taste the lavender and blueberry flavors "Lavender, blueberry and Louisiana Citrus in a cream cheese based hard ice cream"
Mint Chocolate Chip - classic flavor but was surprisingly delicious. The mint tastes so fresh and is a perfect blend of refreshing and savory. I ended up getting this as well!
There are a few seats in the shop but it's not very big, so I'd imagine that the place can be crowded with more customers. This is a nice little ice-cream shop and a big shout out to Amy for her patience with us deciding our flavors. I will definitely return the next time I'm in town!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jun 8, 2024
I'm currently waiting for the nola pride parade to get to St Louis Street, so I popped into Sweet Saint to get a cold treat. Saw the sign out front. Vegan ice cream, you say? I'm in.
I tried the Ponchatoula strawberry. It has a hint of lime for tang, and while it isn't creamy, it does have a nice smooth texture and is softer than most sorbets. Most of all, it hits you with a bright, fresh pop of flavor, just like eating ripe strawberries in summer--not at all like the typical artificial berry full of red 40.
The woman who served me said they're working on a coconut based flavor, which I'm excited about. Sadly, I'm allergic to dairy, so I always appreciate a true ice cream with alternative milk.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - May 24, 20241 check-in
This gelato shop, man oh man! Okay, let me calm myself down. No matter where I travel, I always love to try and experience ice cream/gelato.
Stepping into this shop is a vibe unto itself. The owner is so chill and is passionate about making his gelato! It has a rich organic butter content, so the ice cream has a taste like you have never imagined. Imagine creamy but also thicc, yes with the double C!
The owner told me the stories behind each flavor! A plus is that sampled are also available. I ordered a double scoop with #1 chocolate coffee chicory which was so smooth, vibrant and awakened my senses! #2 mint chocolate chip, the mint was very bold and vibrant! This rocked my world!
This place is a gem and a must experience when in New Orleans! Cheers to good eats!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jul 4, 20241 check-in
I was craving ice cream on this hot summer day, so I headed to Sweet Saint near Bourbon Street. It's a cute shop, but it lacks seating options. That was fine with me since I was just grabbing a cup and heading out. I sampled two flavors before deciding to go with a scoop of An Ice Cream Named Desire, which contains three different chocolates. It was creamy and rich; definitely a must try for chocolate lovers!

If you're wondering near Bourbon Street and the French Quarter and crave a sweet treat, Sweet Saint is worth stopping into. It's locally made ice cream with flavors like chicory and coffee and bayou mud. My seven-year-old daughter loved tasting the flavors and landing on chocolate in a waffle cone. Staff are friendly.

Amazing locally made ice cream. So delicious and creamy. The staff is so nice and friendly and offered samples (loved that they were metal tasting spoons for the environment). It's a really quaint shop with amazing ice cream a block or so from Bourbon St. We had the bayou mud which was so good.

We needed to get off bourbon street because the heavy smoke was getting to us....we made a right turn on this street and stumbled upon this cute and quaint ice cream shop which was perfect because our kids was asking for ice cream! The flavors were amazing and so creamy! the owner was so nice! It was a great dessert!

This was a delightful little stop in our evening. They have small-batch flavors that match what's going on -- I had a Moon Pie flavored kind that was on point. Service was friendly and the scoops were generous. Highly recommend!
