The Little Sweet Shoppe

This place is the cutest! A little old fashioned candy store with freshly made ice cream and donuts!
I had the mango sorbet which was really good and served in a cute little takeout box! I also got a sample of the salted caramel vegan ice cream and it was delicious, but a little too heavy for what I wanted that day.
They were extremely friendly and accommodating. Super welcoming and nice!
They have tons of candy and unique flavors of their ice creams and sorbets that I would definitely come back for!

The ices are fantastic, nice flavors and didn’t have the fake fruit flavors that other ices often have. The candy selection is great and allows Eric to get his ration of wax lips :)

Really unassuming, and way behind the times (not in that charming way) shoppe with no frontage on Metropolitan, this is a nice spot to duck in for a snack if you’re strapped for options (which you are).

I love this place! Best Italian Ices ! They have a great variety. Also very cute little Shop that brings back childhood memories. They have all the candy that you can’t find anywhere else anymore. Staff is extremely friendly.

I love this place. Clean. A great variety of ices. Window and indoor service. Throwback candy from my past.
The thing I find most enchanting is the owner seems to run the place like «The Soup Nazi» a la Seinfeld. Lots of rules and signs declaring them… all meant to keep out the riff raff no doubt, lol!
I like this place so much more than Ralph’s. In fact, I’ve been to Ralph’s once and that was enough for me.

This is a great little shop with a nice selection of ices and treats. Very clean and charming place. The prices are good and the staff is friendly. I always send my teens there when they have friends over in the warmer months to go get a treat. I can give them a $ 20 and everyone can get an ice. They are only open in the warmer months which is fine.

If you like Italian ices (over 70 flavors), milk shakes or old fashion malts and egg creams this is the place. They also have a great selection of old time Candies.

This place is a gem of Middle Village. I’m not a huge fan of sweets but when I realized they sell a ton of different flavors of ices I got hooked. I actually loved the lemon-​lime so much that I haven’t even branched out to other flavors. Unfortunately, they do not make their own ices but that can be overlooked considering how small this place is. I think the owner and her family or friends run this joint? There are always some lovely older ladies sitting outside greeting people. Definitely recommended as a summer treat.

A charming, old-​fashioned sweet shop right off the busy commercial strip of Metropolitan Avenue. Excellent ice cream and Italian ices, delicious milkshakes, and tons of candy. Not recommended for diabetics.
Only open during the warmer months.

This is the type of small, old fashion sweet shop that many would be thrilled to have in their neighborhood. They have great ices and ice cream, candy that you won’t find everywhere. Pull up a chair, have milkshake or small ice and speak to your neighbor or the friendly staff. A must treat after a little shopping on Metropolitan Ave, or as a destination itself. Support your local business and get a yummy ice to boot.

The Little Sweet Shoppe is a nifty little place located off Metropolitan Avenue. It is very small but its a nice atmosphere. The staff working is very good and they know what they are doing. The ices are very good, both water and cream ices. I have had cotton candy, and vanilla chocolate chip and they are both great, You can also get ice cream which I have yet to try. There are also several types of candy to buy at cheap prices. Its a cool place to cool off in and grab an ice on a summers day. Its in walking distance from my house so that’s good. The prices are affordable and I find its location is great. Its right off metro so its not too busy around it but it can get crowded. There is a window to order from outside which is convenient. Being as it is on my way to metro I can stop in and get an ice on my way home. I also know some of the staff so that’s good. I have one complaint though, whenever I go with my girlfriend, the nice lass working there gives only me a napkin, and not my girlfriend. Otherwise I recommend this place to anyone who lives in the Middle Village area.
