We’ve outgrown our scoop shop, so it's time to remodel! While construction is going on, we will have a pop up scoop shop inside of our neighbor’s store, Toy Joy in Hyde Park. They are in the same shopping center as our shop, just a few doors down.

This is a homecoming of sorts - the concept for Sweet Ritual was originally developed in 2008 in the Toy Joy cafe when it was located on Guadalupe Street.

We will be shut down for a few months while we remodel our scoop shop, making it two times the current size, with more indoor seating, better line systems, expanded offerings and more Instagrammable decor. The estimated date of reopen will be November. Please see our Instagram for construction progress photos and updates.

Popular demand for Sweet Ritual products has necessitated expansion to a new 3,700 square foot production facility (aka ice cream factory!), so you will be seeing SR locations #2 and #3 in the coming years!

Sweet Ritual first opened its doors on December 15, 2011.  Amelia Raley and Valerie Ward started the company with their combined experience in the ice cream world (Amelia at Toy Joy, Valerie at Amy's Ice Creams) to provide delicious dairy-free ice cream to as many people as possible.  Sweet Ritual opened inside of a local juice bar with just a soft serve machine and an arsenal of toppings.

Six years later, Sweet Ritual has expanded to include 16 scooped flavors of ice cream, as well as soft serve. Valerie and Amelia remain the only two owners and are jointly in charge of all areas of the company's operation. Sweet Ritual is committed to making the best dairy-free ice cream and providing an unparalleled customer experience in a way that is sustainable financially, socially, and ecologically to the benefit of the company, its employees, our community, and our planet. We believe in high standards, open communication, and shared prosperity.
