Great quick Icecream at a great price. Not listed on here but it was very cute was they had a little flight you can get of four different scoops for $7.
Or you can even get a mini cone with a single scoop for $2
Definitely worth a try!

I was so excited to go to Sweet P’s during our trip to Essex, especially after hearing they use Ashley’s ice cream! We were greeted so kindly! I ordered lemon graham and salted caramel on a waffle cone. Both flavors were amazing, but man, was that lemon something special! We really enjoyed everything! This place is a must when visiting Essex.

Fantastic little ice cream shop on the way down to the river. They have a great selection of flavors, including dairy free vegan choices. My kids and family were all able to find something right away. I highly recommend the Essex Mud. The brownie bits were so soft and fresh. The woman working the day we went was very patient with my little ones and very nice.
While the shop is small, there is a little courtyard out back with benches and chairs to sit and eat. Or, take it to go on the way to the park by the boat ramp at the end of the road. Overall, this made for a great treat on a nice summer day.

Served us very late, amazing service 10/10 would recommend. I find the employees to be very charming and make the store a brighter place. Made my day better and had some great ice cream!

Very kind service took care of us right as they where about to close very sweet Abby and charlotte are such fantastic employees who always show kindness even when they get small tips they are still amazing if I owned a icecream store I would poach them immediately, they made my night 100X better they were so fantastic that they got tipped $5 for there fantastic service. Would give sweet P’s 10 out of 5 starts if I could, they deserve a raise for how polite they where.

This is the cutest shop in downtown Essex. They have incredible choices of ice cream that are delicious. I come in regularly. I was very impressed by the employee Gabby who was able to manage a big crowd on her own. She was friendly to all her customers and kept the line moving at a good speed.

Being lactose intolerant, I was thrilled to see two nondairy selections. Plus, a first for me, the $2.00 sample cone, which I got. Wish other shops sold them. Sometimes you don’t want a bigger size.

Shop had more than one vegan option which was absolutely treat and I would recommend the lemon graham flavour.
Staff serving us didn’t understand what I meant by asking about dairy ingredients in the cones due to an allergy, but we worked things out eventually. (Apparently yes, their cones are vegan)
The entrance we came in was up steps and is not accessible, though there may have been a second entrance.
