Urban Sweets opens in South End, dishing up ice cream and treats at Centro Square

CHARLOTTE — Urban Sweets is now open at Centro Square in South End.

Owner Kristen Stewart founded Urban Sweets in 2021 as a mobile ice cream cart. The 700-square-foot space at 222 W. Bland St. marks the first brick-and-mortar location for the brand.

Stewart — also owner of stationary store Three Little Birds in South End — has more than 15 years of retail experience.

Her love of ice cream led her to create the Urban Sweets brand. It got its start hosting pop-up and catered events around Charlotte as its permanent space was under construction.
