Plenty of Thrifty ice cream flavors to choose from, prices weren't bad (7.50 for 2 full sized scoops). Cashier was super nice! Plenty of indoor seating, there's some patio seating in front to people watch. Also, the ice cream parlor is separate from the candy store side which is adjoining.

I really wanted to support Old Town Sweet Shop, especially as a local Temecula business, but I was…read moreincredibly disappointed by the pricing of their NeeDoh products. They appear to be one of the few authorized local retailers carrying some of the harder-to-find NeeDoh releases, yet I recently saw individual Halloween NeeDohs priced at nearly $25 EACH. When I asked about the significant markup, I was told that this was "fair market value" because resellers are selling them for similar prices. That explanation really bothered me. An authorized retailer purchasing directly through the brand is very different from a reseller on the secondary market. Families shouldn't have to pay reseller-level prices at a local authorized retailer simply because an item is popular or difficult to find. I love supporting small businesses and understand that they need to make a profit, but nearly $25 for an individual NeeDoh that is intended to retail for significantly less feels excessive. There are so many families and kids searching for these products, and I wish the pricing reflected that rather than what resellers are able to get online. Unfortunately, the experience left me really disappointed and hesitant to shop here again.

Came in with my boyfriend at about 10:15 p.m. on a weekday. He dropped me off at the curb so I could order for us both while he went to park in the parking structure. There were about four people in line in front of me when I walked in. There seemed to be only one person manning the register and also getting the ice cream. I waited the entire time he was gone parking the car and then once he got back we waited another 5-10 minutes just until we got to the front of the line and could order. Very dissapointed in Afters after this experience as we are usually satisfied with the service and it usually doesn't take too long to order and get the ice cream. read more
