Food (3/5): I've had the pumpkin cake, chocolate chip cookie, blue velvet cupcake and cookies and cream ice cream from here. The one dessert that sticks out is the pumpkin cake. It's got a great texture and is not too sweet. Everything else was okay. Service (5/5): The people working here are always so welcoming and patient. They answer my questions to the best of their ability and make my overall customer experience positive. Ambience (5/5): It's cute! The theme seems to be old school candy shop. I like that there are some retro candies that I grew up with. Ultimately, if you're hankering for sweets and you're nearby, definitely stop by. But I wouldn't recommend going out of your way. Try the pumpkin cake! read more

The ice selection is great but for $35, the two scopes of ice cream should be abundant on the waffle cone. The lady behind the counter indicated that two scoops wouldn't be stable on a regular cone. Fine. Waffle cone it is. As I watched her struggle to scoop the ice cream I knew I was going to get a dud. The three other cones were fine. Over priced ice cream. Chocolate chip cookies were also ehh. Wanted to love the place but not worth the price for the measly serving. Cakes look good. Maybe focus on cakes only. read more

Like a Norman Rockwell painting come to life, Cornwall Sweets occupies a small storefront that has American flags flying outside, just about every classic candy still in existence and a corner location that's smack dab in the heart of Main Street. The old-timey vibes are almost overwhelming. That throwback candy ranges from stuff that's fairly easy to find elsewhere, such as Pop Rocks and Sugar Babies, to lesser-seen items, such as Bottle Caps and those paper sheets studded with colorful sugar buttons, to legitimate rarities, such as Zagnut bars and candy cigarettes. There's way more than candy, which is especially impressive because the tiny shop can't fit more than a few customers at a time. Other confection selections include a dozen or so flavors of Jane's ice cream, cupcakes and cake slices, chocolates sold by the piece, elaborately decorated marshmallows served on a stick, and various bars of high-end Hudson Valley chocolate. It's hard to generalize about the food being good or bad or so-so -- it really just depends. The ice cream is fine, the cupcakes can be good or subpar, and the few chocolates I've had have been respectable. The candy is, of course, really fun, and it's actually good because it doesn't seem like it's been sitting on the shelves for years. Most of the stuff comes from outside producers, but a few items -- cookies, chocolate-covered pretzels, huge pastries reminiscent of cannoli -- are made right there. If these kinds of small businesses were still ubiquitous, this shop might not seem special. But they're not even close to being common anymore -- Cornwall Sweets is doing something distinctive and doing it well, and if anyone thinks they can deliver a superior version of sweet sentimentality, I'm sure that lots of other nostalgic Yelpers would welcome it. read more

The place was quaint and the service was friendly. I enjoyed the atmosphere. It was a really nice ambience. The price was lofty for very little. 2 scoops of ice cream with barely any topping, candy buttons and chocolate chip cookie dough taco rang up as $20. The ice cream wasn't anything fantastically magical, it tasted like every other ice cream we've been too and the fact the toppings were light was disappointing. The taco was very underwhelming. The cookie itself fell apart and was very doughy, almost like straight cookie dough all the way. read more

Small little ice cream shop no seating inside but was nice day to sit outside and enjoy salted Carmel with pretzels. Yummy! We also got Taco Cannoli to take home with us. They also have old school candy which was a flashback! Got some of that too! read more

I was in the store recently, and was spoken to quite rudely by the staff. I think management and the staff should learn how to speak to people. I had called first about bringing my daughter in for a possible job and the people on the other end of the phone were rude so I figured I would stop in. I will be sure not to be back and tell others to do the same. read more

A great variety of tasty sweets can be found here. They have numerous cakes on display, but if you want something specific or not usually carried it is important place an advance order. The service is super friendly but can be a little slow if people are ahead of you. Worth a visit if you are in town. read more

Omg just found this place randomly and it was such a delight. You walk in and smell the sweet smell of sugar. Grace was helpful and knew everything about the shop and the ingredients we got ice cream which was deliciousl. Thanks Grace! read more

Great place, has something for EVERYONE! Including one's age or if you're Gluten Free or Vegan. Everything is fresh and delicious. The workers are friendly and helpful. 100 Stars! read more

I have to say I thought this place was more nostalgic. It wasn't. But it was trying hard. I have to say my pal and I ordered two cheesecakes to go. Cheesecake has been on my mind and I was really wanting it. As soon as we talk again, we could tell it was nothing special. It was under done, and whatever bakery company they got it from, this is an old and typical recipe. read more

first let me say, a sweet candy store open till 9:30pm, am like wow you can get that late night sweet tooth fix here. so, the girl at counter was super nice and patient with me while ordering since man it looked all good. so got a two-chocolate covered pretzels, white chocolate peppermint bark, white chocolate lattice cookie, apple cider donut marshmallow and a cookie taco stuffed with cannoli cream. most of my item were good and delicious, not much to say, but the cookie taco, that blew my mind, usually cookies refrigerated get hard as rock, but they made cookies super soft and cannoli cream was very sweet and thick. Cornwall has a sweet treasure here, pun intended. read more

My experience was unlike the good reviews. I ordered for delivery and it was awful. 3 out of the 5 items were inedible. The apple/caramel desserts arrived frozen and were soggy when they thawed out. The worst was the lemon burst which not only tasted freezer burnt, but was obviously very old I had to spit it out. Additionally, 2 of the items looked exactly like dessert items we frequently get at Hannaford. Exactly. read more

Very fun candy store with ice cream! We found many candies from our childhood that I thought were gone.

This store is not sanitary and it is way over priced. The owner screams at employees and her boyfriend is extremely unprofessional and creepy towards women and even children who come into the store. Employees do not have their food handler license or an alcohol permit... huge health code violations! Nothing is made in house... most food is expired. The employees do not get breaks and the owner take their tips. Do not support this business. read more

Just got delivery and everything was good but the warm cream filled churro was amazinggg!! And they even sent a complimentary chocolate covered strawberry (: read more

Lou is the nicest guy!!! He's got Jane's ice cream!!! It's the best!! And he keeps the place very clean

It very clean and the customer service was great!! Thank you again for the cookie, it was delicious!!

Amazing flourless chocolate cake. Can't wait to go back for candy and more sweet treats

I got the strawberry square and the lemon square and both looked suspiciously like the ones from Hannaford. Both tasted good but so are the ones at the big store at a much cheaper price. read more

Got lavender and coconut almond joy. Very creamy and the flavor is strong. The only downside is the price is quite high for the tiny scoop. Two scoops for $6 read more

I wanted some pastries and stopped by this quaint shop. I ordered the lemon bars and linzer cookies. However the shop attendant gave me coffee cookies instead of the linzer. When I went back in the shop to ask for the linzer cookies, I had initially ordered, he charged me for them even though it was his mistake. The pastries were subpar, the cookies tasted stale. Very disappointing. read more

This place is so good! A small shop PACKED with Delicious sweets. My daughter enjoyed a rainbow cupcake with a heap of rainbow frosting on top. My husband and I both ice cream that was perfectly creamy. It wasn't so frozen that I couldn't scoop it out but not quite like soft serve. The owner and one employee that was present were fabulous and we will definitely be back. read more

We took a ride to this place for dessert. Wow! We'll be coming back. I got a Bavarian cream, chocolate covered cake. It was perfect, fresh, quality ingredients. I tried the lace cookies, very good. Hubby had the coconut cupcake, very pleased read more

ZERO STARS. I walked in to this establishment with hope, and the promise of candy in my belly. Wrong, as soon as I walked in I was smacked in the face with what I first thought was a fart, but low and behold the woman behind the counters breath was the source. She greeted me with a stern "what do you want" then proceeded to brag about her OWNERSHIP of the establishment. When I asked how much I owed her she referred to me as "special" ( in the worst possible way), due to the fact I didn't see the tiny label of my bag. I will not be returning and if you have plans on purchasing anything here please redirect urself to ANY OTHER PLACE. read more

I brought my family to Cornwall Sweets for what I thought would be a nice afternoon. The cookies we went in for were sub-par at best, and there was a very sketchy looking man hanging around the front entrance. It made us all very uncomfortable. The staff wasn't very nice, either. I don't know that I would go back, considering all the other options in the area. read more

They stayed strong and open throughout Covid. Always great service with a smile - lots and lots of delicious options! Thanks for keeping Main Street strong!! read more

First visit via UberEats...cream filled churro was still warm (& tasty) upon delivery; cannolis and peanut butter cups were a hit and the surprise chocolate covered nutterbutters will be excellent with coffee. Will patronize again! read more

Drove here to get a vegan dessert and was very disappointed in a refrigerated cupcake that tastes like it took on the flavor of something else in the fridge. It was hard and a waste of money just as well as the two scoops of ice cream. I'm sure this place would be great for non vegans who like to splurge on desserts. read more
