Besides playing at the lake, this candy store is what my kids always look forward to when we go to…read moreLake Arrowhead. It can be dangerously expensive, so we discuss a limit before going in. It's in the cute Swiss inspired village. We usually walk around and feed the ducks before buying too much candy. The employees are always so nice and most love and are excited about candy. I like that they have sections, including international treats and old fashioned salt water taffy.

I'm a sucker for a good pop shop, so when I saw that Lake Arrowhead had a Rocket Fizz location I…read moregot pretty stoked knowing what would be inside. This location is a pretty good size and is filled with literally hundreds of different flavours of pop to choose from, as well as candy, random toys, and a variety of other random crap to scratch an itch you don't even know you have. After making my way through the store I managed to pick up both a grass flavoured pop as well as a some fruity type one that I drank right away and enjoyed very, very much. I drank the grass pop the following day when it was cold and it was a super odd taste to say the least. Good? I sure think so. Overall, Rocket Fizz was a fun shop to stroll through and definitely a place I'll return to on future trips to Lake Arrowhead. The best part? This place is always going to be full of new flavours!

The wife and I walked by here frequently as we're getting our steps in around the village. This…read moretime we had the grandkids with us and we were on a mission for ice cream. When we stopped in the line was extremely long, which is great for the local businesses. The store has three unique sections. Ice cream, candy, chocolate, gummy, worms, etc., and caramel apples. I'm not sure if the employee was happy with us, but we ordered from every section. It almost seemed like he wanted us to go back and get in line to order from a new section but we didn't. I had peanut butter and chocolate on a cake cone that was outstanding. The wife had chocolate chip on a sugar cone and she also enjoy it. The grandkids had a variety of different flavors and I have to assume they enjoyed it because there was none left. The daughter ordered a caramel apple with some topping on it that she thoroughly enjoyed. She also ordered an extra one that was sliced that she shared with all of us. It had caramel and nuts on it. Very tasty. We also ordered different chili, flavored gummy worms and gummy rings. The grandkids thoroughly enjoyed. In addition, had to try out the chocolates. Had the dark chocolate haystack wasn't too impressed with it. Had a couple of dark chocolate cashew clusters. The wife said they were very good. The three employees that were working behind the counter we're doing a great job keeping the line moving. They also offer a discount if you eat at saucy mamas beforehand and bring your receipt. If you're visiting the village and get a sweet tooth this is a great place to stop.

We decided on a Sunday evening to drive into the Village and treat ourselves to some ice cream--and…read moreapparently half of Big Bear had the same idea! The line moved quickly, and it was well worth the wait. We ordered a two-scoop waffle cone, which was absolutely humongous and incredibly delicious. The portions were generous, the ice cream was rich and flavorful, and there were so many tempting flavors to choose from that making a decision was the hardest part. The staff was friendly and efficient, the prices were reasonable, and the lively atmosphere added to the fun. It was the perfect way to end a relaxing day in the mountains. We'll definitely be back for another scoop (or two!) the next time we visit Big Bear.

If you venture down the lake's main thoroughfare toward the new concert venue, you'll find the…read moreVillage Ice Cream & Sweet Shoppe as the last business on the left. With some outside tables offering scenic views of the lake, this is a great spot to take a rest from browsing and grab an ice cream cone, cold drink, specialty coffee, or sugary treat. The shop offers Thrifty Ice cream in assorted flavors, cone choices ranging from simple sugar to freshly-made, warm waffle cones for cradling your scoops, and a variety of additional crowd pleasing snacks such as churros, baked goods, specialty lattes, Dole Whip, soft serve, and other edible treasues too numerous to mention. Price wise, their offerings are a bit on the higher side - I paid around $10 for a large chocolate malt (shakes are cheaper) - but you will probably encounter a small, quickly-moving line upon entry. And though ice cream can be found at other village businesses, indeed, there are some confections that are unique to this site. Our server (apparently only one on a weekday afternoon) was pleasant and efficient, rapidly filling orders and fielding any questions as she moved to and fro translating the pictured menu offerings into the equally-tempting tangible goodies that excited patrons scurry away holding. It's hard to resist this little spot as you peruse the shops along the esplanade - and what's better than strolling around that walkway bend to the lakefront businesses with a refreshing treat in hand? I'm sure you'll find something that catches your eye and, subsequently, dazzles your tastebuds.

The prices are good too, especially compared to other vintage candy stores you find in touristy areas that charge a premium price for nostalgia. I discovered Laymon's when I was doing a search for candy sticks which have become scarce in regular stores. Laymon's has at least a dozen flavors. I grabbed a bunch of those and two old favorites from my childhood: Chick-O-Stick and root beer flavored Reed's hard candies. I will be back soon and will try some of their yummy looking chocolates.
