Service was great, and the guy at the counter was polite and very nice. The rating is low because…read morethe cupcakes just did not taste good. We ordered a red velvet and a vanilla cupcake. The vanilla cupcake had grainy frosting where the sugar had not been properly creamed into the butter or fat and it was too sweet. It actually made me cough from how the sugar hit the back of my throat. The cake was very light, but nothing tasted like vanilla. It tasted like sugar and air. There was also entirely too much frosting for the density and size of the cupcake, and I say that as a person who usually loves frosting. The vanilla cupcake was both soft /falling apart and slightly overcooked at the same time. The red velvet was more balanced in flavor. However, it had the same sugary buttercream as the vanilla instead of the traditional cream cheese that one would expect with a red velvet cake and that frosting made it just too sugary to eat. The texture of the red velvet cupcake was better than the vanilla, though a bit too dry. I'm not sure what the people who gave this high reviews eight or what their exposure to food is, but this definitely did not do it for us.

Penny candies are displayed throughout the store, with little bags for gathering your selections. Many hard to find and obscure candies available by the piece - it's a great way to blow your allowance if you are 7 and a great way to blow your breakfast change from D&J if you are an adult. The real draw for most people (nostalgia trips notwithstanding) are the handmade chocolates. Pease's has been making chocolates in Springfield since the 1930's and is still family owned. You won't find chile infused chocolates here, but you will find great old fashioned candies, packaged by the sweetest ladies you ever met, it really is a wonderful place to pick up a gift or a little something for yourself.

Now that my sister, mom and I live in AZ those eggs get flown out every year! It is a family tradition.

Six picnic tables provide ample space for large groups to hang out while finishing their ice cream.

My fiance, daughter and I just moved here from Las Vegas in September and we have been missing our elote (Mexican corn), paletas (ice cream) and more! Their ice cream is all freshly made and all natural. Same with their popsicles, you can see the real fruit in them and there are so many options to choose from. My grandma and I went yesterday and my grandma got the milk mango popsicle and I got the watermelon one and they were both phenomenal. I also would highly recommend the Mexican corn, it's my absolute favorite and any of the agua frescas. Basically water based refreshments. I got the watermelon one, of course and it tastes like drinking through a watermelon with a straw. My grandma got the horchata and that is rice milk with cinnamon.
