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.

A blast from the past from the straw canister on each table to the 50s music a d amazing decor. The candy counter is the most authentic l have seen. Pancakes are amazing and the French toast above standard. Homefries taste like fish. Addressed with management and a great reception of my critic. Management that cares and owner in the shop works very well here.

Well if you follow me you should know by now that I love pancakes. This place just earned a special place in my heart for its ridiculously huge pancakes. They are the size of the plate and then some! And they're fluffy! Beyond that they were definitely yummy and I'm picky with my yummy factor for pancakes.

This place offers much more though. My friends got everything from clam chowder to a sandwich to a cheese burger. Both of my friends thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Maybe next time I'll actually order a lunch meal instead of breakfast food but I leave no guarantees there.

This place seems to be more of a candy, sweets and ice cream place. The closest I've gotten to their ice cream, so far, was a milk shake. I got a vanilla and one of my friends got a mint. Both of us enjoyed our shakes. One small thing we picked up on is that all of their ice cream is made by them.

They had plenty of cakes, candies, and assortment of treats on display. Plenty of delicious options for any sweet tooth. Wish I had taken a few pictures of that for those that might have been more interested in going there for the treats and not the breakfast/lunch options.
