Good overall, but food could have been better…read more.. First off the service was great! Its not too often I find a place that offers carhop type service and it was a nice surprise. The food on the other hand was a bit disappointing. This was my first time here so I ordered several things to try... -Pig tails with cheese. These pre-frozen uniquely cut (sidewinder) fries were good, but had little to no salt on them. The cheese was okay, but quickly cooled and hardened, most likely a Velveeta type product. Not terrible but just not that great. I would have preferred them sans cheese and with a generous amount of salt and pepper. -Burger w/cheese. This looked phenomenal, but was underwhelming on flavor. I can't complain about the size though as it was huge! but again, it was just far too bland, and the bun was actually stale in certain places. Next time ill have to get some sauce on it. -BBQ Pork sandwich. This was not at all what I was expecting! I was thinking I was getting sliced or shredded pork mixed with BBQ sauce and served on a bun, but instead this was razor thin sliced pork (although it honestly looked and tasted like turkey) dry as can be, no sauce and stuck between smashed flat top toasted toast. It wouldn't have been so bad if it at least had a little sauce, but man was it dry. I took two bites and that was it. Based on other reviews and their pics I should have ordered the brown with bark or a minced bbq sandwich. -Fried mushrooms. These were the best thing by far on this visit. Sad, because I'm sure they are just some pre-frozen generic supply house ones, but they were honestly great and served with a flavorful (yet extremely runny/watery) ranch. Bottom line... I'm sure the locals and people who grew up with this place love it for nostalgia etc, but unfortunately I've had far better. I will definitely give them another shot however next time in town since the menu is vast and has a lot of other things that sound good, plus it appears I ordered my bbq sandwich wrong. I will be sure to update this review when I do.

Old fashioned, "honk when you need us" menu.

The store is so cute! The mix of nostalgic candy, rare finds, antiques, ice cream, coffee, and bulk items can be overwelming, but in a positive way. It is almost like a candy / treat store and a museum all in one. On this trip, I got some coffee sample packets for my husband's Easter basket, a frappe for each of us, and a couple of candies for the household. The shop is bursting with products, so the aisles are a bit tight for passing people stopped to check out the fun products.

When we visited, it was decorated for Christmas, giving it a cozy, vintage holiday vibe. The shelves were filled with childhood candies (even candy cigarettes). They also have an impressive selection of coffees from around the world -- and the prices are refreshingly reasonable. The handmade ice cream bar is a must-try. We ordered an ice cream flight with five samples, perfect for sharing since we couldn't decide on just one of the many delicious flavors. The assortment of chocolates looked amazing too. Upstairs, you can stroll through a collection of antiques that add even more charm to the place. We really enjoyed our visit -- it's a place that makes you slow down, take it all in, and maybe leave with a few extra treats you didn't plan on.

This business openly discriminates against the LGBTQ community. Coffee is hardly made right with long wait times.
