Maumee Valley Chocolate and Candy is wonderful…read more We were walking along the riverfront park and I saw a sign that said chocolate, so I walked over here to check it out. This store has so much candy! Lots of retro candy, plenty of foreign candy (multiple flavors of Kit Kats including flavors of chunky kit kats, hi chews and some other Asian candies (a bunch of options, but I can get all of them in Chicago's chinatown so I didn't pay attention), Aero bars, Terry's oranges, and other British candy. There were so many retro candy options, plus every kind of candy you've ever heard of. (I eat too much candy, and know a lot of types of candy and I was blown away by the options). They also had lots of types of pop, but I didn't pay much attention to them. I wanted my sugar in chocolate form. I am a chocoholic, and I was very happy to find this place. I got some creams from the case (dark chocolate raspberry cream, orange cream, strawberry cream, vanilla cream). They were delicious. These are better than my former favorite Fannie May (which sadly isn't as good as it used to be). I also got some chocolates in the bulk chocolate section. The chocolate covered cherries are amazing as is the chocolate covered orange peel (though jellier than I was expecting inside). The chocolate covered pecans are fine (but I don't usually get these so maybe chocolate covered pecans aren't my thing). The store is cute! It had a Lego Willy Wonka set! This place is in a good location. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Maumee Valley Chocolate and Candy is Toledo's best retro candy store. Hell, I'll go so far as to…read moresay that it's the best candy store in town. Period. There was a time that title belonged to Boyd's, but Boyd's has been slipping for a while now. Walk in here and you'll find every kind of candy that you could want. The candy selection is flat-out unparalleled. Bun bars, Necco wafers, saucers, Zero bars, salt water taffy, the cheap-but-still-damn-good Willy Wonka stuff - you name it. If I ever saw it in a candy store as a kid, it's sitting on a shelf in this place. They've got the "finer" items, too: solid milk chocolate, actual truffles, bonbons, the works. Sugar free stuff? Yeah, that too. And the retro/craft pop ("soda," for those of you who never learned the proper word) is outstanding. Then, for a little depth, throw in a few kitschy tin signs and magnets, and few retro (think Scooby-Doo) lunchboxes. Oh yeah...they scoop their own ice cream too. Five stars, no regrets!

Needless to say, the girls were all around rude to all the customers waiting in line. 25 minutes for 4 things of ice cream, by the time we left the first 2 items that were given to us were pretty melted. All around disappointed. We were all very patient with them, but we could all see the 2 main ones throwing their hands in the air, and on their hips and the eye rolls. Slamming the window shut every time didn't help the situation either. Not a good look for this establishmen.

The soft serve is fairly average but the experience is elevated by the pricing - I got a sundae, cone, and two bottles of water for $9. This is unfathomable to me in 2026, particularly with the size of a small cone for $2.60. It just feels like a throwback. Friendly teenagers working collecting tips for college, cash only (I'm sure bad for many but nostalgic for me), the hand drawn signs. I just really enjoyed it. As I did back when I was in high school 25 years ago.

We both got cyclones, one chocolate and one vanilla base. The vanilla had better flavor. The mix-ins aren't fully mixed in. The bottom half of the cup is just ice cream, then a layer mixed in, then more plain ice cream.

We both got a combo, I got 2 dogs and fries & soda. My friend got a chicken tender basket with fries and a soda too. Fries were exceptional, fried crispy outside and soft and fluffy inside. Next time though, we'll know to only get one order of fries and just share them. For me, the dogs themselves are delicious as well. Their "conney sauce" was your basic homemade chili of a drier version. I think it was listed to be topped with cheese but I'm not a fan of cheese on chili dogs. What I really like... I mean, REALLY LIKE is a dog with extra mustard, preferably a good spicy mustard and onions and chili and a great slaw. But I lived in places where a good dog, could make a place known. We will definitely go back and not just food but their delicious ice creams and this summer we will try their shaved ice too.

That's all I needed was to find more amazing ice cream in Michigan that I can't take home with me. I'm also never in Ann Arbor so that doesn't help I tried fresh basil ice cream. It was drizzled with lemon olive oil. The most amazing and unique flavors. They have butterfly moon, not blue moon. While blue moon tastes like fruity pebbles, butterfly moon tastes exactly like froot loops and is even the color the milk turns when you have a bowl.

I also got the double dark chocolate, which was decent but a little more lackluster than I expected. They have a huge variety of flavors though and it definitely feels like the kind of place you need to come back to multiple times to really explore the menu. Every time I walk by there's basically a line around the block, so clearly people love it. Thankfully when I actually went, the service moved pretty quickly. Definitely somewhere I'd come back to try more flavors.
