Sweet EM's Coffee & Ice Cream

Cute little coffee shop in the middle of Dogtown that serves coffee and pastries in the mornings and ice cream and cookies in the afternoons.

I had the iced raspberry vanilla latte and a cinnamon roll which were both excellent!

Not a lot of room to sit inside, but plenty of other customers with dogs to pet while you wait outside.

If you have your dog with you, they have a window where you can order without going in. Handy.

I walked right past this place because it’s very plain, small and they don’t have a sign. I saw someone walk out with an ice cream cone and, after looking at the great reviews, decided to try it out.
They don’t have many flavors - maybe eight. But I tried the chocolate in a waffle cone.
A scope is only like $3.50 and a waffle cone is an extra $1. You get more than enough in one scoop. You really don’t need to get more. Wow $3.50 for a great ice cream today - it’s a deal!!
You should definitely try it if you are in the area.

My friends and I visited St Louis for a weekend trip! This little coffee shop was walking distance from our place and we loved it here! The matcha latte I got was great and the breakfast was super yummy. The baristas were awesome!! They were kind and approachable, and gave suggestions of shops and boutiques for us to visit. We went there several times for coffee; fabulous & friendly!

Delicious ice cream with very kind employees, and super cheap, especially for how good quality it is! Highly recommend checking them out, been here twice in the past two weeks and expect it to be my go to spot for the summer. Open late on Sunday’s too!

Went in for a quick breakfast bite and wound up having one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. definitely in my top three. The staff had the perfect blend of friendliness and chill. great coffee too!

The coffee was delicious🤤 So were the ice-cream options!
The Baristas were super friendly, both the morning and evening my daughters and I went.
Definitely would consider stopping in anytime when traveling thru St. Louis!

This is a nice, cute store! I really like their ice cream, also have gotten shakes a few times (the best one so far has been Coconut Explosion with chocolate syrup, so yummy!!), we live walking distance from here so is usually our to go place when we want a quick ice cream or shake. Whoever is behind the counter has always been attentive and friendly.

After spending all day at the zoo, I was yearning for a chance to escape the crowds and savor a delightful treat. Luckily, I stumbled upon this charming little spot that offered scrumptious ice cream at an incredible value!

Good quality, nice people, great place. I had a shake shot with espresso and chocolate ice cream, it tasted like you were drinking chocolate covered espresso beans. Definitely going to stop by when in Dogtown.

What a cute little spot!! I got the espresso shake with mint ice cream and it was amazing. Not too sweet and the espresso was a perfect addition to the shake.

An adorable, cute little shop with ice cream to delight. Only 10 flavors, but they're all winners. It's in the heart of Dogtown. So great location too!

I’ve been in a few different times, on different days / at different points of busyness, and never not been impressed by the quality of service, food, and drinks here! Coffee is delicious— I’ve tried a different thing every time I’ve come by (by barista recommendation) and loved it. Staff is always kind and welcoming, even when I visited at the height of a rush on a holiday weekend. Every employee and particularly the manager is consistently working hard, not skipping any steps, and ensuring costumers get what they ordered. I love Dogtown in general and this place is part of why. I’d recommend giving it a try

Just had a scoop there..With half-scoops of 2 flavors...The Daily Grind & Lady Bug. The Daily Grind was amazing with the crunchy chocolate covered expresso pieces 😍😍.

Their ice-cream is sourced from Wisconsin...Cedar Crest Creamery. Great flavors on offer. Must visit for ice-cream fans.

Such a sweet place! The coffee is AMAZING and they are dog friendly. I can’t recommend this place enough!

This place is right around the corner from my daughter's school. My 1st time going I didn't really know what I wanted and they explained everything and gave me a great choice. The chocolate chip muffin was really good taste homemade almost in the breakfast sandwich with the biscuit was really tasty will definitely be back.

They’re breakfast options are so filling and satisfying! The coffee is nice. Friendly staff.
I’ve actually never had their ice cream, but I had their boozy shakes once! Maybe a smidge overpriced, but it was tasty and they didn’t skimp on the liquor! I’m always happy to support my neighborhood small business!

I travel a lot for work so I'm about a month late on my review. That being said, The place was super chill and the kids loved it so I had to leave one. If you're looking for a quiet little spot for Ice cream and good service, come here. Sweet Em's is a hidden Gem! 💎 😋 🍦

We are visitors from out of state and wanted something cool to eat after a day in the heat. We are glad it was open on a Sunday, late in the afternoon. The ice cream was delicious. I enjoyed the butter pecan. They also have several coffee drinks.

Fantastic little shop. Great coffee/ice cream. Unique flavors. Walk up ordering and very low cost for the quantity. $13 for a cold brew shake, two scoops of ice cream, and an iced tea.

They’re doing coffee and ice cream just right!! One of the only places in the city that was open at 6pm on a Saturday night so I stopped in. Latte was a great combo of flavors and the prices were on point. Customer service was great too.
