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

Five star ice cream is worth up to one hour each way drive. So stop in but I wouldn't travel more than a few miles out of the way. It's very expensive for the quality and portion size. There's nothing wrong. I'm just really picky with ice cream with an extremely high bar. Service was fast and very kind. Their candy offerings are fun and the kids will enjoy watching them make caramel and fudge. Kilwins is probably equal to cold stone. Entertainment value. Enjoy

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 used to live in VP - now out of state -- but when I come into town, I often stop to get bakery to take while visiting my family. The selection, quality, and prices can not be beat. I buy strudels, coffee cakes, donuts, pecan rolls - which are my favorites, cookies and sweet rolls and made to order Italian cannoli - which they fill before you pick them up. 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.
