I hope it tastes as good as this location!

Recently walking down Milwaukee Ave after dinner, we came across this place--we had to stop by during business hours. I called a few days later and talked to Nathan...what a wonderful young guy! When we went in to the cozy shop, to see he and his coworkers, for gifts, they were so helpful. Buying a pre-boxed selection was one option or picking out some truffles, peanut butter "buckets, and other beautiful chocolates. The recipient absolutely loved them, thoroughly enjoying the toffee, the peanut butter confections, and the truffles---the dark chocolate lemon and the red velvet with white chocolate were the big winners! Seriously, think about giving confections and chocolates for the holidays, from this place! It has the small-town feel to it with the help, the location and the selection. Check them out for corporate gifts or personal gifts...they wrap beautifully! See them sooner than later, the holidays will be here before you know it!

The few times I have been here, I have had good experiences and enjoyed the ice cream. They offer Homer's ice cream from Wilmette, IL. Homer's is one of Chicagoland's best local ice cream shops. They have good quality ice cream and awesome flavors. The ice cream is creamy and has a good flavor. Their Banana Macadamia Nut is my most favorite. I also like their Coconut, Butter Pecan, Triple Berry, and Bourdeaux Cherry flavors. Their Tuesday special of Bring Your Banana for a banana split for $5 is a great deal. We love it. The service is always friendly. The shop's decor is nice and welcoming. The menu pricing is reasonable and the value for what you pay is really good. Check out Sugarville if you haven't before.

As I came in, there was a class of making sweets with a ton of little kids making a fun mess. Congrats to that staff for having the patience and demeanor to fill kids up with sugary products! As for the selection... Cake Pops - awesomely decorated and perfectly bite sized Toffee - I never liked it growing up, but can honestly say that I love it now! What a great selection of different flavored toffees and samples to make an informed choice. Chocolates - an unbelievable selection of every shape and size and flavor! I'm a fan and will be back.

This shop is such a treasure! The staff are always friendly, and the cannolis are so good!…read more Today, we purchased several three packs of mini cannoli, including chocolate peanut butter, traditional, chocolate orange, and lemon. These are not grocery store cannolis--these are made with real ingredients--pistachios, peanuts, lemon and orange peels. We also had to grab a piece of cannoli cake. The shop is small, but in the cutest midcentury style building, and in the warmer weather, picnic tables are available outside. Don't be surprised if the staff offer you a fork with your purchases, so you can enjoy the treats right away! The owners also conduct classes, which we really want to attend in the future. They also offer catering. So happy to support this small business!

I am giving the Fannie Mae in Lake Forest 5 stars for resolving this frustrating situation. I wrote…read morea previous review complaining they sold me expired individually wrapped candy. I called and was told all sales were final by someone that was not a manager. She told me to come back when a manager was there. When I went to the shop and showed her the receipt and the quantity I purchased (for a wedding) she totally understood that it looks bad to give something past the freshness date even though it probably tasted fine. She replaced all the candy that was past due. On top of that the Corporate office sent me gift cards to refund the past due candy. I will not use them since I have been made whole by the store replacing the expired candy. Very happy with the ending.

Who doesn't love Fannie May?…read more Fannie May stores have been a staple in the Chicagoland area since I was a youngster. I use to love going in and getting a few pieces of fresh chocolate when we visited. My sister was home for a visit so we stopped in so she could stock up before heading home and that she did...lol. We shopped the Lake Forest, IL store and the employee was very nice knowledgeable and the store was clean and everything was nicely displayed. Even provided a sample of the fresh chocolate. Our check out was less than favorable this time. Upon returning for a second time the transaction was pleasant and the visit was very nice. The employee offered me a sample of the Fannie May Mint Melt Away which I love. Upon speaking with the employee she told me that this store was relatively new which I was not aware. If you haven't, and you love chocolate, do stop in for the Mint Melt Aways or Pixies or a Trinidad and see what else is on display for purchasing for you and your family or friends.

Their main menu on the wall had the standard coffee drinks and the option of adding flavors but I was looking for specialty drinks like seasonal lattes, etc. and I couldn't find those. I heard a customer before me asking about Matcha drinks and a staff member said they have Guava Matcha Latte. Then I saw an electronic menu advertising specialty drinks. From it, I ordered their Pumpkin Tropical Matcha and from their regular menu, a seasonal and festive drink called Alote. I also got a Pecan Biscotti and a Strawberry Empanada. The drinks were good in taste. I liked them both. The Alote was my favorite. It's a corn-based beverage with cinnamon and nuts. The pricing of the specialty drinks was on the pricey side. The Pumpkin Tropical Matcha was $7. I received good service. Check them out.
