I ended up buying ~20 lb of frosted peanut butter pretzels, which were on sale due as they were "seconds" aka slight manufacturing mistakes. Still delicious though! There's smaller quantities on sale too if you don't want to go all in. There's a museum-type area in the back where they show the old candy machine that fueled the original candy shop, and a TV showing how the candy was produced. Of course, the production is now modernized. There's a large bulk section for candies, and a candy counter. The service I received in the shop was impeccable. If I'm ever back in town, I'll make sure to diet a bit before returning to this shop. It is excellent.

We had one Turtle each and put the rest in the refrigerator. The next day, we packed and left and went back to AZ and we forgot our goodies! No worries, we ordered some online while driving three hours to the airport. We just received them today and they are incredible! If you don't go there, order them online! They are handmade and so delicious! Go there now or order online! You won't be sorry!

So this is an ice cream and candy shop right? Not only! I find their coffee to be the best in…read morethe area and go here for my morning coffee drinks. All of the candy is good but my personal favorite ends at the homemade caramel. They have the best caramel apples I have had anywhere, hands down. When I come to Okoboji this is my must stop for treats to bring back as well as my morning coffee. The service is quick and friendly. What else can I get here? Hot tea, greeting cards, teapots, colorful kitchen items, gifts, pie, cheesecake, cookies, homemade confections, nuts, ice cream and did I mention coffee? I am sure I missed telling you things. Go here. Have an ice cream cone in the afternoon. Life is more fun with a bit of a treat now and again.

Perfect place for hard scoop ice cream! I'm a sucker for local creameries and the sheer amount of…read moreflavor options here is incredible. Took my family when they came to visit and we all tried something different. My sister swears by the lemon poppy seed ice cream and I might be going once a week to get the butter brickle ice cream. It may be more cost effective to purchase their prepackaged ice creams. My husband tried the strawberry rhubarb, my dad got a root beer float, and my mom tried the butterfingers ice cream. The staff working were over attentive, but not necessarily too helpful? I don't quite know how to describe it, but they hovered to ensure that if we needed a sample they could get it for us. They felt more professional than friendly. I'm sure that with all of the options they have, it's difficult to handle discombobulated customers as they try to make a choice between 40some flavors of ice creams!

Stensland has not disappointed!…read more I've been here 3 times now and love it every time. I noticed they have a flavor that I didn't see last time, sweet corn. Can't wait to try it next week! I love the lemon poppy seed ice cream, it's delicious. Plenty of lactose free options. Staff is friendly, the place is always relaxed and cleaned. I recommend it!

Like a previous Yelper had mentioned in his review prior to mine, this is a great, old-timey candy…read moreshop, located within the Emporium. Came here to see if they would have some unique candies to the Midwest, and lo and behold, they did. I ended up buying a bunch of Caramel Cobs, which I've never seen out East. They made great "little" (little is in quotation marks because these things are actually fairly large for treats) gifts for my friends back home. They have a bunch of other candies as well. Well worth checking out, if you happen to be in the Emporium or near Arnolds Park.

While the selection is generally very good, and the people generally pleasant, the clerks were completely unapologetic about selling candy cigarettes (and candy chew). This lead to a long discussion in the car and some disagreement about the appropriate behaviour in such circumstances. So, I won't be back. I'll get candy from places that are quite literally less likely to corrupt (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candy_cigarette). So, you can see this a 5-star review as well as a 1-star review, and if you are a proponent of candy cigarettes, they have the widest selection I've ever seen. They are also overpriced, but for the selection it's a good deal.
