Gumdrops & Lollipops Candy & Ice Cream

We love it was a lot of fun

Best ice cream around and hand made. Delicious and awesome!! Sat and talked to the owner, what a friendly and wonderful guy! Please stop in and support this amazing business!!!

Great candy and ice cream store, with lots of variety. With the boardwalk nearby, the ice cream is especially appealing. A solid variety is available though for some reason is cash only. This is not much of an issue however as an ATM is nearby.

We had the raspberry chip and the coconut almond ice creams. They were both delicious! Cute shop too and great location close to the boardwalk access.

Ice cream, coffee, and candy. Nice store- neat, spacious and staff were helpful.

Note that ice cream is cash only. They have an AtM on site.

There’s a covered porch for outdoor seating and there’s indoor seating.

They have a parking lot which is nice so you don’t have to park on the street. There’s no bathroom.

They make fresh fudge here as well as their own candies and ice cream. There’s soft and hard ice cream.

I am a business owner for 39 years of a sucessful business, I know how to treat customers and provide value and great customer service.
I never leave a negative review but in this case, I feel it's warranted.
I went to this store This past Sunday hoping to get a nice treat after a walk, only to be infuriated by the blatent rip off that is Loolipops, We ordered 5 Icecreams, small and regular for 40.00 which is insane to start, They have pictures of what you would like to order, I order a Snickers sunday which is pictured with a full cup slightly over the top with Icecream and topping with carmel sauce, the girl hands me a half filled cup of icecream with a dusting of toppings, and very little swirl of carmel, I was very dissapointed in what was handed to me, I asked the girl to put some Icecream in my cup and I was told no, I would have to pay for more, so I took it in disgust, then while eating it I find a huge hole in the Icecream at the middle of the treat, so I not only got a 1/2 of what I ordered they purposely fill the cup around the perimeter leaving air space hidden, further ripping me off.
So if you want to pay way too much for way too little this is the place to go.
Whomever owns this place should be ashamed.

Very good ice cream and a good selection of candy

Price at the register was much higher than what was shown on the wall without a reasonable explanation. Cash only exclusively for ice cream, which is shady. Card accepted for everything else with a 10 dollar minimum. It is a total tourist trap with a prime location next to the beach parking lot.

Great variety of ice cream flavors. The ones we tasted were all good versions of those flavors. Lots of nostalgic candies, chocolates, and fudge. Perfect seaside shop. The ice cream section is cash only.

Great fudge flavors and I always get the dark chocolate orange peels

Everytime I walk into this place i feel tickled because its so cute inside. Its "fun land" for even grown-ups ! It's nearly impossible to walk in and still feel grumpy. ?.
Their ice-cream is the tops ?!
Flavors are rich. Good portions. Through the years they have extended into so much more. Candy sections, diner, a little gift shop section, and so much more. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. Indoor and outdoor seatings. I encourage you to look at the pictures, so many of them to show you what it's like in there.
Go have fun and go !

We love this local candy store!! I only reason I gave it 3 stars on food is the limited amount of penny candy they now carry. There was a lot more four years ago when we started visiting. That didn't deter us from leaving with 5 bags of candy and a box of fudge.

The salt water taffy was just okay, but the fudge is amazing!!

We bring our grandchildren a couple of times a year when they visit. They absolutely adore picking out a bag of candy to enjoy during their stay. Grandpa and I enjoy sweets as well.

Our family of 5 came for an ice cream. Kids usually eat same flavors and I as a mom wanted them to try other flavors. They gave us 3 flavors to try. Kids didn’t like them and I asked for 1 more. Staff told us it’s only 3 to try. We made an order and my daughter didn’t like the ice cream she got so we needed to make another order. I assume if 5 single people came they each would get 3 spoons to taste. We had just 3 for 5 people. We came with friends (+4 people) and wanted to have a great time. Unfortunately 1 tiny spoon left a bad impression of this place for us. There’s also no bathroom for customers for such spacious building.
