Old School favorites that I enjoyed as a kid. I walked around mesmerized by the specialized, unique flavors of chocolate, gummies and many other goodies. The candy store serves up chocolate with liquor, coffee, latte, ice cream and other delicious treats that will water your mouth. I selected my 2 pieces of chocolate and purchase some additional treats. I handed the lady behind the counter my money and in return to lays my change down on the counter. I put my hands out for her to place it in my hands. Unfortunately, she missed the hint. She looked down at the money for me to pick it up myself. I believe in supporting small neighborhood businesses. The 3-star review that I'm giving is for the wonderful display of candies from my childhood and the warmth I felt in my heart. I'm happy that there are still old school candy shops around. Not sure I will visit again. Laying my money down on the counter was a bit rude

My friend and I went here after the movies and decided to try their ice cream…read more The store itself is small but they have so much to offer from ice cream, candies, fudge, caramel apples, etc. It's location is perfectly located in downtown Elmhurst right next to the movie theatre. It was so hard to choose a flavor but I went with the All-American Two Berry Pie. Talk about YUM! The ice cream itself was so creamy and smooth. The texture was absolutely perfect. In the vanilla ice cream, there was a nice blend of strawberry, Blueberry, and sugared pie crust pieces. It was by far one of the best ice cream flavors I have ever had. The only downside is that they are quite pricy. It was $13 and some odd change for 2 single scoops in cake cones. I personally think that is pretty steep and the portion is just average. I cannot wait to come back to try more flavors as I am a ice cream lover!

The ice cream itself was nothing wow factor. Mediocre. Talenti even beats this. I ordered 2 scoops for me and 2 scoops for my kiddo and 2 taffy apples...$44!!! Insane. The ice cream was IN A CUP! I didn't even get a waffle cone with that price. The taffy apples were $11.99 EACH but I figured to get one for the hubby as a surprise and they were pretty big. Not only was the carmel not great, the peanuts were RANCID. Just no, seriously save your money and your taste buds and go anywhere else.

Have you tried their cherries covered in chocolate? If not, you're missing out on something really,…read morereally good. We went to this shop and tried their Christmas chocolate-covered cherries, and they were extremely good!! One of the best things we've tried. I'm not sure if it's a seasonal thing, but I definitely recommend that you go check them out. You won't regret it, for sure. The only thing I didn't like was that we had a lot of trouble paying. The tap payment didn't work, and the option to insert the card didn't work either. We ended up having to give our card number to the employee so she could process the payment manually. Because of that, I'd recommend being prepared and bringing cash. The truffles were okay (I'd say there are other places with better truffles) but but overall, the cherries are absolutely worth going for.

I so very much miss my home bakery, and I am longing for a pecan roll. Hopefully, I will get some in May when I visit.

They've got groceries, meats, even liquor. All in one spot. Super convenient, honestly. I ordered a hot chocolate and a pastry. No name on the pastry, which somehow made it more tempting. It didn't look like anything i had before, so I went for it. Sat outside on their little patio and enjoyed the weather. The hot chocolate was creamy, sweet, with just a slight bitterness at the end and top of that some marshmallows, Really good. The pastry was flaky, light, and dipping it into the hot chocolate made it even better. Staff was friendly and helpful while I stood there deciding. Felt easy, not rushed. I'll be back for sure. Probably to try another unnamed pastry. Or two.
