My siblings and I grew up going here a lot. It's so nice that I can now take my son to enjoy a little bit of my childhood. Their service and ice cream is still the best! Family friendly. Price, even with inflation these days is affordable. Love the sweet shop and will continue to support them throughout generations for as long as we can! read more

My kids love the ice cream especially the sundaes! We try to go back as much as we can.

Very good candy. I like the old time feel of it and they have a pretty long line so you know it is good.

I have been going to the Sweet Shop all my 69 years. I remember the anise suckers from my earliest years. I think they were two for a penny. Then I graduated to the hand-made chocolates and ice cream. Incomparable! I am going there today at 09:00 as soon as they open. I have a hankering for the chocolate covered coconut. Hey, my grandmother took my dad there in the 1920's. They have a soda fountain too. It has the '50's chocolate shop decor with the wooden booths and all. I love it. read more

Chocolate offerings are top of the line. Great assortment and packaging is exceptional. I would definitely support this home town business read more

This is a great local business they have a ton of fresh candy and it is all made homemade the chocolate is always made fresh and probably the day of. My favorite thing to order from the sweet shop is the soda that still to this day they make it homemade. They have a wide section of chocolate, candy, soda, ice cream, and shakes/malts; so they will have something to fit your sweet tooth. The service is always great and they have the kind of local Midwest service that is hard to find these days. It is always a great vibe in there and they have plenty of seating. Overall I would totally recommend going to the sweet shop if you are in town. read more

All I can say is luscious and delicious high quality chocolates for less than $20 lb! The dark chocolate covered citrus creme is the first one I tasted. So darn good! We will be regular customers. What a great local shop. read more

Sweet-Shop - Cute holiday boxes. This is a 8 oz. box of the stores "popular chocolates". - Candy Stores Near Me - La Crosse, Wisconsin

best chocolate malts I have ever had!! They have amazing customer service and treat everyone like family. I have been going there since 1999. And i have never had anything like their treat since read more

Nothing like it here in the southeast! We still order in the cool months for shipping.

I love their ice cream and chocolate but in the past few months, their hours have been inconsistent. They're no longer open on Sundays and sometimes they'll close up shop early. It's frustrating when you're an out of towner and you're looking forward to the Sweet Shop only to find out that they're not open. read more

Whenever I go visit friends in La Crosse, Wisconsin, my very first stop is always The Sweet Shop for a handmade Chocolate shake! They have the best candy and ice cream! read more

This is a hidden gem of the area. The original vintage decor is fantastic. Ice cream is phenomenal and people are friendly.

Chocolate lovers must stop here for dark chocolate dipped orange peels, fudge, and turtles. They also have chocolate dipped pototoe chips, a delicacy, which certainly satisfies a sweet and salty craving. Icecream is also available. No fancy seating. I believe it's the original booths but I didn't go for the ambiance. I learned at Christmas the have chocolate dipped cinnamon sticks. Can't wait to place an order. read more

Wonderful people, wonderful sweets. Just great! I went here to buy some sweets for my friends and families and they never let me down. Sometimes the place is pack but it is worth the wait! read more

This is exactly what an old-fashioned candy shop should be. I have fond memories of my grandfather taking me here, and I can say in the 30+ years I've been going back, the quality of the candy and the exceptional service has never disappointed. I've long left La Crosse for the east coast, but every time I'm back, the Sweet Shop is on my list of must-stop places. They make the candy on site, and will even let you tour the back if you ask nicely. Now when my mom sends me chocolate, even my fiance recognizes the red & white paper wrapping. read more

The Sweet Shop has been around a long time (since 1921) and the appearance of the shop probably hasn't changed much in many decades. I'm sure that's a plus for the locals who have been coming here for generations. The soda fountain is on one side of the shop and the candy counter is on the other. Beyond them both is a seating area of tiny, uncomfortable wooden booths that are painted robin's egg blue. I'm sure six-year-olds love the pint-size seating, but I'm older. Ice cream, ice cream toppings and chocolate candy are all made in-house, and they are all wonderful. In a couple of visits I sampled four of the many different flavors of ice cream. They had my favorite flavor, Grape Nut, which is vanilla ice cream with Grape Nuts cereal in it. It may sound weird, but I was told that it is a popular flavor. I also had Black Cow (root beer flavor), toffee crunch and frozen malt (a solid ice cream form of a chocolate malt). All four flavors lived up to my childhood memories and were rich and delicious. There are the usual sundae choices plus many Sweet Shop special sundaes such as Four Queens (pineapple, cherries, marshmallow and nuts), Tin Roof (chocolate sauce and spanish peanuts), Dusty Road (chocolate and malted milk powder), and many more. Prices range from $3.20 for a regular sundae up to $6.40 for the Sweet Shop Deluxe. There are malted milks and milk shakes which can be ordered regular or "heavy," ice cream floats, lime freeze, and sodas (including a suicide soda which is a mixture of all the flavors). You can get pints ($3) and half gallons ($6.75) of ice cream to go. I didn't sample the chocolates, but the shop seemed to be doing a brisk business in candy before Mothers Day, and the chocolate smelled fantastic. There is a reason that the locals have kept this place going for over 90 years. Kids, parents, and grandparents will all love it. read more

A little slice of old fashioned heaven! I grew up in MN. And in the 1970s and 80s my Dad used to bring me here on our way down to Iowa. It is as good today as I remember as a child. They have sundaes, malts, chocolate candies, roasted nuts, etc And everything is DELICIOUS!! They have one of the best sundaes I have ever had. They make all the sauces, ice cream and chocolates right there from scratch! And you can taste the difference. Also, they have the same charming original ice cream shop decor from the 20s too!! It adds to the ambiance! I live in Mpls but stop here every time I am in town. If you have kids I would take them here and make it your own special tradition:). And if you don't have kids-go there anyway and treat yourself!! read more

Rich charm and chocolates! This place is sweet all over. History, quality and friendly service, and fabulous chocolates. We all went for some made-in-house ice cream and then couldn't pass up taking some chocolates home too! Completely worth the stop. read more

Amazing butter pecan ice cream. Also enjoyed the blue moon and maple nut flavors. Old school chocolate/candy shop and ice cream parlor. Decor is dated, but ice cream is old-fashioned and wonderful.

Been there 3 times, brought my friends from foreign countries there twice which i regretted every single time. No matter how good or not the candies were .they r always rude. They make us feel they don't care, they just want to be done with us to they could get rid of us. read more

We have been going there for years and just recently we wanted to ship a box of chocolates to New Mexico and they failed to send it! Never heard of them missing a shipment! Went back to ask about it and they were sorry it happened and helped us out and sent out a different box of chocolates! And gave us a better deal of shipment!!! read more

Every time I come here the employees are always smiling and quick to say "Hi how are you?" They make sure you have everything that you need and are very informative in answering any questions that you may have. A favorite of mine is the sea salt caramels and a the wrapped caramels. As for the ice cream. I love the butter pecan and toffee crunch. read more

This is the best ice cream option in the La Crosse area. I love the chocolate malts - not super chocolatey but malty, which is the way I like it. Friendly service, and the place has been around forever. I think the original booths are still in the shop from when they opened. I think it is much better than the Pearl and Ranison's. read more

They make the best cherry malt in the universe!

Nobody beats their sea foam. I live in the town where Kilwin's originated, but I still order the sea foam from the Sweet Shop. JUST PLAIN AWESOME! read more
