Daryle Maddock: Malted dulce de leche is THE best!!
Shirley Liu: I still like the secret breakfast and blue bottle Vietnamese iced coffee best, but make sure to ask to taste (peanut butter curry, olive oil, and malted milk chocolate) :)
Justine Hsu: Malted milk chocolate and secret breakfast is the best!!
Epicurious: Watch a soda jerk build banana splits with brûléed-to-order bananas, or a grown-up butterscotch milk shake of eggs, cream, butterscotch syrup, and malt, shaken long and hard over ice like a Martini. Read more.
SFist: The Ice Cream Bar Soda Fountain’s offerings include old-school classics like phosphates, lactarts, malts, 7 alcohol-infused “remedies.” Take a seat at the sweeping & watch their jerks work. Read more.
Byron Wilkes: Lovely little spot for an olde fashioned ice cream sundae or malt! They also have adult milkshakes... 😉

SFist: Features a bunch of nice local and/or artisanal chocolate products. There's also plenty of other stuff, like pate de fruits, malted milk balls, and hard candy, and prices aren't bad either.
PureWow: This cute little Castro shop has all the pâte de fruit, malted milk balls and hard candies a girl could want--including sour grapefruits and licorice chews. The prices aren’t bad, either. Read more.
Anissa: Best candy selection for gummy lovers! My favorites include the Swedish marshmallows, watermelon slices, and spicy mango gummies
