Metairie-based Sweet Handkraft plans to expand and relocate to The Shops on Seventeenth.

According to The Feil Organization, the ice cream and desserts shop will move from 3363 Severn Ave. to 3262 Severn Ave. The opening is slated for Saturday, September 23. The new space is 3,044-square-feet.

“Sweet Handkraft first opened in 2018 with Asian-inspired freshly made sweet treats,” a news release reads. “Since then, their menu has expanded and includes ice cream filled French macaron sandwiches, croffles, mochi beignets with dipping sauce, and bubble waffles. Asian flavors are infused in some of the ice creams such as Sakura Matcha Kitkat, Banana Foster Miso Caramel, and Vietnamese Coffee.”

“Throughout the years, our business grew, and we needed to expand to a larger space,” Owner Thuy Le said in a news release. “We are excited to relocate to The Shops on Seventeenth.”

Sweet Handkraft churns small batches of handmade ice cream daily and their hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday-Saturday and and noon to 8 p.m. on Sunday.

The Shops on Seventeenth are located at the west corner of Severn Avenue and 17th Street across from La Madeleine.
