Sweets & Treats

Tonight, we headed over to sweets and treats thinking of what one of the great flavors we would get. If only we knew they weren’t open. Usually when we go to sweets and treats we have such a great experience and the owner is usually very clear of how if the place says closed, he is there. And we should simply just knock on the door and he’ll be there to open it. This time, that was not the case. We got there after about a 10 to 15 minute walk, when we arrived, we looked on the door and saw that there and saw that there was a sign on the door that said «closed» I looked in and saw only pitch black darkness and nobody in the shop. No one to be found at the counter and no one looking around or eating ice cream. We do not know why the owner wouldn’t be there when he specifically said to us that he would always be there when it’s not 8:00. We know the time he closes and made sure we got there by at least 7:10 — 7:15. So we clearly did not get there at or even close to 8. It is a Saturday night. We walked back home disappointed that we couldn’t get ice cream. Some people would say this is over reacting because it is only ice cream but when you have 4 children between the age of 8 – 12 and 2 adults looking for an affordable and close ice cream place that has good service, you want to be able to go and get exactly what you want. Hopefully, the owner will be there next time and make actual hours and not go by the hours he wants to make up. We will definitely call the next time we are planning to go so we don’t get into another situation where we have to walk back home empty handed with 6 children. Over all, my whole family usually loves this ice cream place for their old fashioned candies that makes parents feel like they go back into their childhood. The ice cream is absolutely amazing and very affordable. And the owner is very reasonable with what you want and knows exactly how to make it and what to do. We love going there and will go back but we will 100% make sure to call before. As long as they get new hours. Hopefully the next family visit we make will be a better one than this and we won’t have to go home disappointed and empty handed with no ice cream and the kids still wanting Something sweet. And not having to worry about going to the store and buying expensive ice cream. We are expecting better hors and an owner the next time we go, because we love everything about it usually and this is the only time we had a bad experience. Hopefully, the owner wasn’t out somewhere not caring about his business. And we won’t have to have any more bad experiences or have to do long bad reviews and the next one will be better.

Not sure if they have summer hours or not, but I was just there (on a Sunday) at 5pm and they were closed.

Great selection of candy. Alittle pricey for some of the penny candy. Super clean! The owners are personable. During the summer the have $ 1 scoop of icecream. So you cant beat that. Very cute shop. They have a great variety of candy.

It’s good to see that we’re going back in time with a good, old fashioned ice cream store. I love the fact that you can walk in here and find all the old candy I used to eat when I was a kid. Although it’s not the same price, it’s still nice to see it around. Another perk is the fact that you get quality ice cream, with a variety of flavors for a reasonable price. Great variety of chocolates/​chocolate covered items (amongst my favorite would be the chocolate covered pretzels and the homemade chocolate eggs at Easter).
Amongst the great products that they offer, Wayne is a great conversationalist and makes for an even better experience. If I had to complain about one thing, it would be the lack of consistency in their hours, but I would definitely advise you pay a visit!

We just bit into the solid Easter Bunny, made by the shop!, that we purchased a few weeks ago. Sooo good! We’ll definitely buy more next year.

Went to this shop during the Port Richmond street festival. I loved the selection of candy and old school candy but the prices are the same as a mall. Its good for a local shop and nearby.

good selection, good prices, good for the neighborhood. It is not the type of place that has millions of things to choose from, but there is enough to tempt you. The ice cream is delicious, and very reasonable. Try their chocolate covered raisins. Delish!!!

I was actually disappointed, i read great reviews, so I thought I would check it out, Im sorry but cheap sugary candy, I mean its the candy we grew up on and we all miss, but is not worth $ 7.00 a pound. and i did not see the variety of candy. I thought the Ice cream cones were very reasonable. but overall I was not very impressed with the loose candy at all. very disappointed, nothing special about it. and very expensive.

They now serve Hershey’s ice cream for a flat $ 1 for a scoop.
There’s really no reason to not stop in here… unless you like paying more money for things.

This place is great! It reminds me of going to the penny candy store with my Mom when I was a kid growing up. They have all your favorites — caramels, gummie stuff, sugar straws, etc. and if they don’t, they said they would order it for the future!
The best thing there is their chocolate covered pretzels — a bag of them is reasonable, and they are super fresh tasting… like someone just dipped them yesterday.
This is a great place to get stuff if you are having a kid’s birthday party, the holidays, or in my case, having friends/​family drop by… My family loved that I put a bowl of those chocolate covered pretzels on the coffee table — and I actually had to run out to get more.
It’s super cool to just see the adults that come in get excited about seeing candy they haven’t seen in forever. I’m one of them. Great find!
