Welcome to Elg Sweet Boutique

“ This place is a godsend!! Growing up in Hampton Roads, going to an ice cream parlor was always a joyous treat but unfortunately, there are a lot less stores now. During a lunch outing with my sisters, we decided to take a walk on High Street and came upon this store. We decided to go in and immediately I received a warm greeting from a beautiful young woman. She showed us the menu, and asked us if we wanted to taste samples. The names of the ice cream were awesome, like Empower-Mint. I was excited to see my hard-to-find, absolute favorite ice cream on the menu: strawberry Cheesecake but I decided to try the Banana Pudding Ice Cream first. It was delicious but when I tried the Strawberry Cheesecake, the rich, quality of the ice cream, I couldn't resist. My response to the ice cream convinced my sister to get a scoop without even tasting a sample. We walked out like two little ecstatic girls on a hot, summer day. The bonus for me is this business was started by six young teenage girls!! This spot is a definite go to for me. I will support and promote this business from now on. Try it out!! From the quality of the products, the cleanliness of the location and the superb customer service, you won't be disappointed! ”

“ This little place is just what downtown Portsmouth needed. It was founded by local young women from our area who have been a part of the Envision, Lead, Grow Program run by local business women affiliated with the Mustard Seed Place. They envisioned, planned and executed this shop. It is staffed by other young ladies that are part of the program. There are many yummy options available to ice cream lovers, young and young at heart. There are a couple of tables and bar seating. The bar seating looks out over town square and High Street. The staff were lovely and friendly. This bright spot reminded me so much of an old time ice cream parlor. We will be back to enjoy ice cream at this great little place. ”

“ My sisters and I were over in Ptown today and found this gem ELG Sweet Boutique ice cream shop. After a good meal and a walk we came across this shop for dessert. Definitely a great spot for an ice cream treat ”

“ Yum, yum!! These young ladies are serving up some delicious ice cream and shakes on High Street! This was some of the best COFFEE ice cream I've had in quite a while! Lovely venue and wonderful service! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ”

“ I absolutely adore the ELG Sweet Boutique! It's so amazing that you can customize your own ice cream or milkshakes by combining your favorite flavors. Make sure to visit the Sweet Boutique - I'm sure you'll love it too! ”

“ Service was great. Price was shocking. 15 dollars for 1 scoop in a waffle cone. I asked if there was a movie included or a suviner but unfortunately not. Ice cream was worth every penny though. Delicious . ”

“ My first time here and this place is AMAZING. It's clean, cozy and quaint. I took my clients here because I heard so much about these young, black owned, entrepreneur ladies building generational wealth and knowledge of the industry. But wait, let me tell you about the banana pudding ice cream that was loaded with cookies, bananas and sweet cream, so yummy. I will be back for the Oatmeal Pie ice cream. I highly recommend this place. Also, I enjoyed the great conversation with the young lady that serviced us. Kudos to the founders of ELG Sweet Boutique! ”

“ I finally found a vegan ice cream spot in portsmith that was delicious the customer service was A+ and they even had vegan milkshakes with oatmilk. I highly recommend you check them out! ”
