This is the spot to go. We came in for a quick stop to grab some ice cream on the way home. We also had to pick up some candy too because I mean, we were here, might as well! This place always feels like walking into Wonka's factory. There are so many different kinds of chocolate and candy that there is something for everyone on that front. Then the ice cream parlor is pure nostalgia and there are so many flavors offered. I got a milkshake and it was made perfectly, topped with whipped cream and a chocolate wafer. The staff here is always friendly and helpful. The vibes are so happy in here. I suggest this spot to everyone looking for some sweets.

I went to Oliver's for some ice cream and had a delicious cup of dairy free ice cream! They had a…read morebunch of flavors to pick from for standard ice cream as well as two dairy free options and the price to serving ratio was incredibly reasonable. The girl working was very sweet and helpful to make sure the ice cream was also gluten free for me. They had a few picnic tables outside to sit at and enjoy. There was a cooler with tons of treats available to purchase and there is also a gift shop located in the lower part of the store. It was a great stop and I'll be back soon!

I love cannoli's in general, but let's face it the worst part is the hard shell, well Sweet Ally's takes care of that for you, putting it inside a delicious donut! Reasonable pricing too! I may or may not be a little obsessed but they are so good! For weeks I keep meaning to take a picture, but I never remember before devouring them! They only make them on Sundays, but if it is a different day, stop by and enjoy their other selection of donuts, baked goods and candy. This time of year is the perfect time to visit, as right behind them Oakfield has a wonderful Christmas light up Wonderland, and across the street they have 100 decorated Christmas trees! Make it a day trip out to Sweet Ally's you won't be disappointed!

If you can get past the bad service, I'd recommend the apple fritters, they were good. Also the chocolate frosting with white cream was good and worth the calories. Just don't call it "Angel cream" or the owner will remind you that "only Paula's calls it that."

This is a really great place! It's like a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere that sells all kinds of chocolates and sweets. It's large and friendly and there are some really great things in there. It must be really hard to come in here if you are the kind of person that likes sweets and sweet shops, and come out empty-handed.

Canada is known for using real ingredients (such as milk) in their chocolates, so it's fun to see a store that features that.

The shop and tea house are connected, which makes for a nice experience - after ordering our beverages, we had the option to sit in the cute tea room or shop around the pantry shop. The owner was working that day and incredibly sweet. She had a lovely selection of tea (as one would expect at a tea house, but I'm cynical) and tea related gifts. If I lived closer, I would absolutely make a date for friends and I to come enjoy the tea house together! As for the pantry - you have a wonderful curated selection of jams, hot sauces, candy, and more. I think I spent at least 30 minutes checking everything out (my partner is a big hot sauce lover). I also picked up some candy for road snacks (great selection of gummy candies).

Unfortunately, there are only a few truly unique candies on offer; most all of the inventory is mass-produced candies and bulk sweets. This is more a retailer than a confectioner, as it seems like they don't really make anything in-house. They do stock local producer Platter's chocolates and sponge candy, and have some other loco-regional treats like Coffee Crisp, but otherwise it feels in most respects like any retail-only candy store. If you happen to be walking/driving by and need a quick glucose fix, feel to stop in if you have a few minutes and patronize a small business; just don't feel the need to head out of your way for it.

More importantly they have that small town, warm and welcoming atmosphere. They have complimentary coffee for visitors, and the staff is super friendly. On my most recent visit I inquired about hot chocolate bombs and while the lady working explained why they do not sell them she helped me figure out where I could get them.
