This review covers our experience at the ice cream/soda counter in the back of the store--We didn't purchase any toys or candy while here, so I can't speak to the prices/selection of that aspect of the business. Chelan Toys & Sweets is the second place in Downtown Chelan that serves hard scoop ice cream, with the other being the ice cream parlor located in The Landing. Both of these places are within short walking distance of each other on E Woodin Ave, on opposite sides of the street. The prices at Chelan Toys & Sweets (see photo) are lower than those at The Landing, and they also make floats, flurries, shakes and dirty sodas. While the ice cream at The Landing had more of a gourmet or homemade flavor, the ice cream here was still good enough for our party, especially when it came down to the kids' tastes. Comparing our separate visits to these two establishments, we spent about $30 at The Landing and $20 at Chelan Toys & Sweets for similar orders/quantities of ice cream. Also worth mentioning: the wait lines are much shorter here than at The Landing (probably because tourists see The Landing when they first come into town, and not this place). The staff who served us was very cordial and shared their opinions on the store's most popular dirty soda (when asked), as well as let us sample a few of the cream flavors (they had 24) in advance. Bringing up The Parlor as a comparison one more time, although their ice cream was good, it came at a higher cost combined with longer lines and impersonal, "assembly line" service (with no samples). In contrast, the ice cream counter at Chelan Toys & Sweets had more menu items/options, lower prices, and a personal, "local" (not touristy) atmosphere. read more

We came during winter fest and had the delicious ice cream! I tried the Maui flavor and cotton candy. Both flavors were so creamy and tasty - I highly recommend! My partner tried the rocky road and I forget the other flavor, but both were amazing. My photo the scoop looks a little flat because I couldn't wait to try some! Prices are a bit high but for chelan, very average so it's a good deal. A lot of ice cream for an order! If you're in Chelan, this place is really great for ice cream read more

I'm excited when I see new businesses come to town. But I'm afraid this one will be short lived. The selection of toys and candies are very limited, and it looks like the goal is to cater to the tourist who needs something quick. To survive in Chelan, you need to cater to the locals as well, as the winter is long... I'm hoping the new owners realize that quickly and change up their merchandise for the target audience in the winter... then go for it during the summer with extras designed for the with the tourist in mind. They really could do well I think, but they will fail if they don't change it up. read more

Overpriced and poor selection. No fresh sweets (store-made fudge or chocolates)--all purchased pre-packages stuff from candy makers. I was unimpressed. read more

Overly priced on a lot of items but they have a great selection. They carry quite a few old fashioned candy and drinks! If you're on a budget might not be a great place to take a wanting kiddo. read more

Such a great addition to Chelan! Our kids visit this place weekly to enjoy the different variety of candies, sodas and games. They also have a great selection of gift items for different ages. They carry Copper Pearl (knotted sleepers, blankets, etc.) for babies and infants. They have a cute book area with wooden train sets. A fantastic selection of Hot Wheels as well. I heard they will be doing different craft and book groups for kids once Covid gets behind us. We absolutely LOVE this place! read more
