Absolutely love this place. Always something new and tasty to try. Staff are very friendly and helpful and great to talk to. You definitely get great quality food here and based on what the sell it’s competitive priced. If you have not been here yet I definitely recommend you try the cheese cake or Keylime pie bar’s they are absolutely amazing as well as the coffee.

Maria & her entire staff are phenomenal. Always pleasant & the treats are simply beyond delicious. The cherry candy apples bring back childhood memories from downtown Chicago at Christmas time.

My wife and I stopped by this amazing little shop this past weekend and it was the highlight of my day. The moment we walked in we were cheerfully greeted by the smiling woman behind the counter.All of the workers were beaming as they waited on us and continued to prepare delicious looking sweets before our very eyes.It was so nice to see everyones smiling face.The chocolates we ended up purchasing (after much deliberation due to the fact that everything looked incredible) were delicious!I cant recommend this place highly enough and we will definitely be back the next time were in town!Cheers from CT

The women that work at the shop were absolutely amazing and joyful to be around. We were recommended this place to celebrate my daughter getting her braces off with a taffy apple. This cute little shop had so many different varieties it was hard to choose from. We walked in and was greeted with smiles. I love the choices of drinks as well. I highly recommend this place not only for taffy apples but for a true enjoyment of seeing people doing what they love and making others happy. Thank you for celebrating this moment with me and my daughter.

Such a cute place! It’s a hidden gem in Frankfort. I didn’t even know they were there for years until a fiend of mine told me about it. The owner is a bubbly lady who is customer service driven and goes out of her way to make you feel welcome. I had some truffles and an iced latte. The coffee was very good and strong and definitely tasted so much better than chain coffee shops.will go back😀👍

The staff is wonderfully helpful, the chocolates are divine. Whats not to love? Their special holiday offerings sell out quickly, their mainstay offerings are in plentiful supply.

Cute inside! Unfortunately the worker lady wasn’t wearing a mask so didn’t feel comfortable purchasing the ice cream I wanted or buying anything really.

A Diamond in the Rough! The two ladies who were working had such fun energy and excitement for their job that is was contagious. The trip down memory lane with the old-school candy is a fun one. We ordered warm drinks that are usually seasonal and they were spectacular - Carmel Apple Cider, Peppermint Mocha, and a Pumpkin Spiced Latte.

They make the freshest best macarons I’ve ever tried, and I’ve tried a lot! And not to mention, the owners are so kind and welcoming, and take pride in their store! As far as I’m concerned, it’s the only place to buy macarons 🙂

Fantastic coffee, its a shame when you search for coffee shops this place doesnt show up. Pastries, sweets, and chocolates are really good. Taffy apples she makes are awesome! Has some of the older candy as well.

Review №37

An old fashioned candy store feel filled with both vintage candies and delicious homemade treats. The owner definitely understands the personal touch, everyone is greeted and treated like an old friend. They are known for their caramel apples (Heath is my favorite) but once you try their homemade peanut butter cups, chocolate covered graham crackers, and truffles youll think youre in heaven. Yummy ice cream and phenomenal coffee drinks round out the store where there really is setting for everyone!
