Fun to get ice cream and a soda from such a historic place. Owner is very friendly and has lots of good stories/info.

A fun nostalgic place to visit if in the area. Enjoyed the ice cream and sodas and looking around at the past history displayed

My family and I had been meaning to stop in while we were passing by Wilton and finally did yesterday. This turned into more than just a stop for ice cream. The owner Lynn told us all about the history of the 1860s confectionery and the current work to preserve the areas history and fundraiser for a public museum to display local artifacts. Not only did we get a delicious banana split, but they still make fountain drinks (phosphates) like they did at the turn of the century and into the 1930s. Soda water syrup and ice mixed by a soda jerk (Lynn). We will definitely be back, not just for the ice cream and soda, but for the hospitality and rich history of the town and area.

This place is absolutely amazing, history is everywhere, the ice cream was delicious (it's been so long since I had good huckleberry ice cream). Highly advise checking it out if you are anywhere near Wilton IA. The gentleman working was friendly and incredibly helpful. The wife and I loved looking at all the pictures, reading the News articles, and taking in all the nostalgia.

Great little shop. Very friendly owners. Checked in is frequently. Ice cream Sundaes and banana splits were great. Lots of candy treats from when we were kids. Freedom rock around the corner that you can visit.

Great service and friendly. Sundae was very good, nice ice cream and toppings. The strawberry malt was huge, but average, could use more flavor.

Wonderful place in Wilton, Iowa that serves homemade ice cream. The Candy Kitchen is an old soda shop open since the early 1900's, enter and you will be back in the 1930's. In the back of the store is a small museum featuring local history. Everyone needs to stop at The Candy Kitchen in Wilton at least once for a very unique experience.

This may have been one of the best strawberry milkshakes I have had. No one left unhappy and we all can’t wait to come back!
Be sure to check out the candle place down the block!
We loved coming here for an occasional ice cream. While the employees were polite, the young girl they had working the soda fountain might need a little more training. We spent over $50 here just for ice cream and the portions were extremely small. One dip of ice cream with hot fudge looked miniature. Each person only received about 2 tablespoons of ice cream in their order. I wish I was exaggerating about the serving size.

Such a cool little place! We enjoyed lunch and a sundae, which was very good. Then, traveled back in time a bit, touring the museum and the candy store. We found candy from yesteryear that brought back fond memories. Everyone was so friendly and our service was excellent!
