 “Because no one is ever unhappy when ordering ice cream.” If you ask the owner of Sweet Willows Creamery Brent Lebouitz why he opened an ice cream store that is likely what he will tell you. It becomes quickly evident the passion that Brent has for his business, ice cream, and making people smile.
The inside of Sweet Willows Creamery is whimsically decorated with children in mind. Fun house mirrors, old time candy and coloring pages keep the kids smiling. In fact, after ordering children are often given a token to put in a slot. Once deposited it usually takes a few moments for them to realize that they have sent an overhead train into motion. The ice cream at Sweet Willows is all made on-site from fresh, unique, quality ingredients. |
 After making the ice cream base on-site Brent blends in the ingredients that make Sweet Willows’ ice cream so special. The selection changes daily with an ever-varying array of creative flavors such as Best Chillin Nilla Batter (cake batter and nilla wafers), Morning After (cappuccino and coffee cake) or Pumpkin Red Raspberry Swirl.
Here Brent fills a quart of Vanilla Peanut Butter Swirl with Chocolate Chunk that he had just finished making. In addition to the ice cream flavors Sweet Willow also offers Frozen Yogurt, No Sugar Added Ice Cream, Sherbet and Sorbets. |

The Willownator is six scoops of ice cream, toppings, a whole banana, chocolate and rainbow jimmies, and peanuts. If you can finish the Willownator on site, without help you get to have your picture added to the Willownator Hall of Fame. Not quite ready for the Willownator, this guy simply opts for a scoop of vanilla on a cone. |
 Sweet Willows Creamery’s selection isn’t limited to merely ice cream. Their Sandwich Shoppe menu offers a variety of choices.

 For a different spin on Bar-B-Que you can try Brent’s Big Bad BBQ Panini which is seasoned rare roast beef, BBQ sauce, onions and provolone that is sealed with a hot panini. |
 Each day Sweet Willows features a homemade soup of the day (which is shown on their website’s calendar) and has cup of soup and half sandwich specials.

 There is also a selection of wraps like this Ranch Turkey Wrap which is smoked turkey, shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and ranch dressing on a tomato wrap. |
 But regardless, at Sweet Willows Creamery, it is still all about the ice cream and the smiles. With as many interesting choices as Sweet Willow offers, it may be hard not to share.
