Our Selection

Flavors made
to savor

01

Sweet Pea Signature

Our namesake blend — vanilla bean, a hint of pea flower, and a whisper of honey. Light, floral, unforgettable.

02

Defiance Dark Chocolate

Single-origin cacao, rich and velvety with a bittersweet finish. For those who like their chocolate honest and unapologetic.

03

Golden Honey & Oat

Local wildflower honey swirled into creamy oat milk base. Dairy-free, deeply comforting, and quietly luxurious.

04

Strawberry Field

Fresh strawberries from nearby farms, folded into a bright, tangy cream. A taste of Ohio summer in every spoonful.

05

Maple Walnut

Vermont-grade maple syrup meets locally roasted walnuts. Earthy, sweet, and satisfyingly crunchy throughout.

06

Seasonal Rotation

Our rotating selection changes with the seasons — always something new to discover. Ask about today's special.

Our Story

Small town.
Big flavor.

Sweet Pea's was born from a simple belief: that the best ice cream doesn't need a big city to exist. On a quiet stretch of Evansport Road in Defiance, we set out to make something genuine — ice cream that tastes like it was made by someone who actually cares.

Every batch starts with real cream, farm-fresh eggs, and ingredients we can pronounce. We churn in small quantities so every flavor is at its peak when you taste it. Some days you'll find our classics. Other days, something unexpected — because that's how we keep things interesting.

Our Philosophy

"The best things in Defiance aren't loud — they're made slowly, with attention, and shared generously."
Sweet Pea's

Crafted Daily

Every batch is made fresh each morning. We'd rather sell out than serve yesterday's work.

Locally Grown

We partner with Ohio farmers for our dairy, fruit, and seasonal ingredients. Your scoop supports our community.

Made with Care

No artificial colors, no preservatives, no shortcuts. Just honest ingredients and a whole lot of patience.
