Time Out ChicagoNovember 2, 2011This store has been satisfying Lakeview’s sweet tooth since 1983, and the original owners are still on hand to scoop ice cream and serve housemade fudge and chocolates. Read more
CHOCOLATE covered everything. Twinkies, smores, rice krispy treats, fudge, ice cream etc what more could you ask for? Remember to tip for the great service cheap skates!- Anthony HeleineMay 30, 2016Ice cream, fudge, and chocolates are top notch. Highly recommend. Great place to find nostalgic candy as well, although packaged candy is sometimes a bit stale.
Zach DanielMay 14, 2015Cute place with an insane amount of candy. Some real classics with some stuff I've never seen before. I was really surprised there weren't more people in there!

SarahNovember 29, 2014So much candy, both classic and new! And they sell a lot of it piecemeal, too.
Larisa SeitanJanuary 18, 2012I always thought my cousin was so lucky growing up around the corner from this place. A Lakeview classic!
- aprilkalinka ffOctober 23, 2013WAAAY OVER PRICED! For their chocolates they go by weight. I paid $10 for 2 small piece of chocolate. And it wasn't even fresh, nothing special, very generic taste. Never planing to go back ever

Jeremiah JacobsFebruary 27, 2012The owner of this place is the most impossible person to please. Nothing was ever done well enough for him. And he made you mop the floor every night 3 times!

Great pistachio ice cream. And a small kid's penny candy fantasy.
