How We Began
Sweet Melody started as a love letter from me to my daughter, Melody.
We pride ourselves in presenting familiar (and not so familiar) flavors in a whimsical and creative way, telling our story one flavor at a time, using the finest ingredients.
In 2014, I bought a $50 lime green ice cream maker at Brandsmart. It sat untouched for a year and a half. First in a storage unit, then in the corner of my garage, still in its box.
After losing my job, as if by serendipity, the ice cream maker found it’s way back into my life. Rinsing it off and turning it on changed my life forever.
I set out to make creative flavors that married comfort food with fun & creativity, using only the most superior ingredients, taking inspiration from local flavors and artisans.
We are constantly striving to make the best ice cream you will ever try! I named it after the person I love most in this world: my daughter Melody. This way, I know we will always make it THE BEST!
In the time since, we have grown but our spirit of small batch innovation has never changed.

The Sweet Melody Way
We typically make classic American style (sometimes referred to as Philadelphia or New England style) ice cream. Our ultra-premium 16% butterfat ice cream is characterized by its rich, dense & almost chewy texture. The absence of egg yolks lets the intense flavors shine through. When the mood calls, we do make an egg yolk French base as well (creme brûlée, key lime pie, brownie batter etc.). We work hard to marry technique with fun, letting each flavor have its own unique personality!
We make all our ice cream from scratch, but we also make everything that goes in it from scratch as well, in our in-house bakery. We don't believe in using artificial flavors or colors, or any other ingredients that don't serve our mission. Even our sprinkles are all-natural & dye-free! Our team is committed to make the most sustainable & best possible product for you & your family, from start to finish!
Give us one chance to WOW you and you’ll know why!
