     a variety of sweets
    Gabriel S.

    We stopped here on the scenic drive during our 16-year wedding anniversary trip on the North shore. I don't know how I'd never stops here before but I was glad I did. We had one of the most amazing caramel apples me or my wife ever ever had. We also got some amazing chocolates to bring home to our kids and sat for a while in the ambiance looking over lake Superior and they're fun bear art. We will definitely be back again our next trip up north.

    This place is adorable inside and out. Caught sight of this place on our way out to Gooseberry Falls State Park and decided to stop on the way back to Duluth. The chocolate is delicious with great mold and flavor options. I bought gifts for Christmas for many loved ones. Worth the stop!

    What an adorable candy shop! I love candy and it's even better when it's homemade. If you're a chocolate lover, this place is for you. Tried the air chocolate. It's looks like a big chocolate puff and has just spun sugar inside. The guy in front of us bought a whole bag. It must be delicious, I thought. Not great in my opinion. Hard as as rock inside. The seasalt toffee braid, on the other hand was awesome. We bought some taffy, maple syrup and pancake mix as well. A fun stop for candy lovers!

    There's so much stuff in there it was difficult to narrow it down, so I didn't. I bought all the treats I wanted instead. Almost everything in the display cooler thing had milk chocolate and dark chocolate options. I'm a dark chocolate girl, but bought a few things in both because I hoard chocolates of all kinds. Some highlights where the air chocolate things. They were like giant malted milk chunks. The salted dark chocolate caramels, and the almond bark were also killer. I'm sure you could find just about any candy you're craving in this little shop. Service was great, they package each item individually in plastic bags, so no risk of your goodies melting together. I see myself making a stop here each time I'm in the area to load up on sweets.

    Turtles and malted milk balls!

    So happy they were open despite of COVID. The had an outside pick up window for purchases. A super fun place to bring the kids. We spent about $20. We bought the milk chocolate turtles which were AMAZING. We also bought the malted milk balls which were also good but the ratio of chocolate was off in our opinion. Way too much BUT they still tasted good! Customer service was so friendly and they made this stop enjoyable despite the bummer of not being able to go inside the shop and see all the sugary goodness before deciding what to choose. Would still recommend this stop on your scenic North Shore Drive!

    We were driving down Hwy 61 and out of nowhere, this candy shop popped up on the side of the road. Maybe I wasn't paying attention last time we drove this way, but I sure don't remember this being here before! So obviously, the only thing to do when one randomly comes upon a candy shop is to stop and buy a ton of candy, right? The store is small but well merchandised, with a little bit of something for everyone. They have pre-prepared bags of candy and boxes or fudge, or you can press your face up against the glass case and get them to weigh you out what you want on the spot. I got a bunch of coconut haystacks (my favorite), which were tasty. My husband got a ton of various licorice items, which he said were good. The gentleman who helped us was super nice and friendly. Very fun stop.

    Nutty ice cream!

    Stopped by on the recommendation of a Duluth local, and really enjoyed it! IT's a great, homey spot along the Scenic Drive, and a perfect place to take a break if you feel your blood sugar running low. They have SOOOO many chocolates and sweet options - all homemade of course. It gets pretty crowded in the small space but the employees there know what they're doing and help you with whatever you need. We didn't have to wait very long despite how packed the place was. On the hot afternoon we were there, we got the nutty ice cream bar and some pistachio bark. The nutty ice cream bar was a pretty generous size - a vanilla ice cream block covered in milk chocolate, peanuts, and coconut. Delicious if you like it sweet and crunchy! The pistachio bark was a little on the sweet side, and tasted more like milk chocolate than pistachio. It had a layer of chocolate, and a layer of green (possibly pistachio flavoring but tasted more like white chocolate because of how sweet it was that was colored green). The sprinkling of pistachios on top were the only ways I recognized it as pistachio bark, because it really did not taste like it. The outdoor area has plenty of picnic tables, chairs, and hammocks for you to sit and enjoy your sweet treat!

    So good, so fresh, all homemade and all for a reasonable price. They don't use cheap ingredients at all.

    When I am fortunate enough to visit the Bayfield area (which by the way is at least every 2-3 weeks…read morein the summer) I end up stopping at Sweet Sailing. The category says Candy store, and there is lots of that, but there is a lot of other items as well. They have a nice selection of tshirts and souvenirs for the visiting vacationers and lots of specialty food items. I have repeatedly gotten some jars of excellent salsa, and there are all sorts of condiments and other savory items. But we do need to talk about the candy. There is a huge selection of candy that is prepackaged and it is quality product. But the good thing here is the fudge and other homemade chocolate candies. I tried the salted caramel fudge- which was incredibly rich and smooth and just a little salty. mmmmm. And they also make a chocolate square that was Salted caramel covered in dark chocolate. Oh my. There are nonchocolate treats as well, and many of them are available by the pound (1/4 pound minimum for the fudge). It is a fun place to stop and there is lots of good things to choose from. Do stop!!

    This is one of those stores that you MUST stop into if you are in Bayfield. They have their own…read morecandies, and tons of uniquely made items to buy! They also sell games.. It pretty much is a unique little tourist shop that is definitely worth stopping into. Their fudge is excellent, along with the taffys they sell. They have tons of wood carved furniture, wall hangins, etc. Some are tacky, but for the most part, I enjoy looking at them, I'm not sure if I would want to decorate my house with them, but whatever! If you are looking for a gift for someone, you more than likely, will find it here. You can get anything that would be perfect for a family member, Really anyone! I'm not sure what else to say. I am a fan!

The music that played while we were shopping made the atmosphere even more nostalgic. We bought lots of fun sweets and headed back to Minneapolis. What happened next, makes Sweetly Kismet Candy Store even more amazing. When I returned home, I realized my watch was missing. I retraced my steps and called several places I had visited, no watch had been turned in. I called Sweetly Kismet Candy Store; Andy answered the phone and informed me that someone had turned in my watch. He then offered to mail my watch back. As we figured out all the logistics and decided on the mode of delivery, it was already Friday afternoon at 330 PM. This wonderful store and amazing employees said they were going to run it to the Post Office before it closed. I received notification an hour later that my package had been registered and was on its way. Highly recommend visiting for the wonderful sweets but know that there are dedicated employees that will give you the best customer service and care!

And this candy store was an easy find off the freeway exit. I followed the lollipops along the east side of a gas station. It was hidden behind the gas station. Lining the drive to the parking lot were pretty, tall pine trees. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but walking up to the door were family-friendly activities. A photo booth and wooden tables to play games, like checkers and jenga. Inside is clean and organized aisles of bulk candy. We came to look but did leave with a couple bottles of root beer and cans of Northern Soda company pop. The cashier wasn't too amused that I work in the same city that is manufactured in. I had also just gotten back from a trip to Wyoming and Montana and was on a Huckleberry high. I did find some Huckleberry flavored things there as well.
