Feels like no other candy store. A hole in the walla but one like discovering Narnia. Behind the door is a world of wonder and delight, sweet treats and smiling faces to meet.

Old-time neighborhood store turned into a candy and ice cream shop. Friendly staff, good prices, lots of ice cream flavors. Great tasting ice cream!

Wonderful mom and pop corner candy store. Nothing pretentious, just nostalgic.

Great ice cream and candy shop. Over shadowed by The Pearl but do not discount. Its a hidden gem offering great flavors!

Ahhhhhhhmazing!!! Took my grandson and we both enjoyed the service with a smile and the space inside and out. Especially the friendly squirrels and birds that kept coming by to see how we were doing. 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!! A must stop when in La Crosse!!

We stopped by last night around 7:15, and there was a good sized line. We weren’t aware that the store was supposed to close at 7 (the website says 9pm). The young man working was the only one there and he handled the line and the late closing extremely well. It wasn’t until someone came in around 7:40 and there were still about 3 parties in line that he told the new customer who came in that they were already closed and that we realized we were “those people”. I just wanted to take a minute to compliment this young man working. He really did a great job of handling a stressful situation, the line was long but you wouldn’t have known by how he handled himself. The customer service was great and so was the ice cream!

My adult son has not been feeling well. Pretty much just getting fluids in. So funny when I mention Blue Moon ice cream he really thought he could eat some of that. It doesn't matter what age you are a little blue moon made him feel a little better.
Heres to spring.

This place is a true gem of Lacrosse.I came here as a child and I'm still a regular at 51 yrs. The epitome of ma & pop shops. You can feel the decades of happiness when you walk in the doors. If you like true homemade ice cream this is a must stop on your visit list!

Ice cream and candy shop. Chocolates were very good and reasonably priced. Boxed very nicely. However there is a $5.00 fee if you use a charge card which I was not prepared for. Bring cash.

LOVED this cute little ice cream shop! Amazingly delicious homemade ice cream, shakes, mixers, etc plus huge selection of interesting vintage candy & drinks. This is a local spot for sure! Glad our La Crosse friends told us about this little gem!

Kid-friendliness: Awesome place that kids will LOVE! Seating is all outdoors and pretty limited, but don't let that stop you for checking this place out!
