One of my favorite places ever. My husband is a caramel apple snob and every time he gets one, he compares them to this shops apples. Nothing has ever come close. I'm a candy apple snob and there's is everything a candy apple should be. That first bite into the signature red candy crunch, followed by a fresh tart apple. It's perfection. If you're an 80's kid, the retro candy section will take you back in time. NOW - on to their chocolates. Milk chocolate covered cashew bites. OMG. Chocolates melt in your mouth. So fresh. You can tell they make everything with the finest ingredients. Their Gelato is also delicious - lots of variety. The owners are very friendly, always have great conversation with them and they're engaged with their customers. Just the sweetest experience all around when we visit. Pricing is higher than other candy shops for a reason. Homemade, quality ingredients and you can taste it. Worth every penny. I carry my wooden token in my purse (IYKYK)
Always feel like a kid again in here - from the moment I walk in. A little sweet slice of childhood 🍬 🍫 🍭

Everything just melted in my mouth. Irish potatoes. Pralines begin melting in your mouth the moment they touch your tongue.
Each truffle was amazing.
Working my way through the chocolate.
Every ice cream or gelato sampled is creamy and tastes amazing.
It is worth finding a parking spot.

I walked in on a beautiful spring day and enjoyed some great homemade Gelato. Think next time I'll try the pistachio Gelato.

Staff was very friendly and they had an amazing selection. Tried the chocolate caramel turtle free sample and bought several.

So I was having a conversation with my friend about how I’ve never had a candy apple and I was afraid that’d I’d break my teeth but then the worker (Kristin) popped up and told me that their caramel will not at all do that and it is award winning and that I will for sure come back for it once I try it and she was RIGHT
i just had my first candy apple at the ripe age of 30 and it was so good im mad about it i gotta go back and buy 10
the workers were all lovely I live an hour away but i gotta go back now

My family got two large peanut butter cups here in July and we are still talking about them in December! No other pb cup compares.

I recently brought my two nieces in for some candy, and they had so much fun picking out their treats. The owners were so nice to them and their dog and helped them pick out some candy. Although the girls picked out all the factory made candy, I can’t say enough how delicious the chocolate turtles are. Thank you for being so sweet to them. Look forward to the next visit.

My brothers love this place before our shows. So many different sweets, and sour candies too! Good place for all, especially for kids.

Stopped by on a whim, and so glad we did. The confections were amazing and customer service top notch. Try the peanut butter cups! They are the best.

Woahhhh the lemon sorbet was SO good!!! My husband got vanilla ice cream on a waffle cone and he loved it.

Amazing family owned and operated place! So nice to see the people working so passionate about their products and how they and their family make everything themselves!
Tried the watermelon gelato (incredible!!) and left with a ton of goodies for the road!)

Really good selection of candy & treats! Ice cream is also really yummy. Unfortunately customer service is absolutely awful. Went there the first time and thought it was just a bad day, but went again today and they truly just do not care about the customer experience. Very rude staff. Probably won’t be going back here.
