My husband found a caramel toffee that he use to eat when he was a kid and you can no longer find it anywhere. It's called a Mackintosh creamy toffee. Also what I loved about this soda shop is they had different types of sodas and chocolates from different countries like Japan love trying unique stuff! They also had all kinds of vintage collectibles, which I thought was really cool. The service was great. The lady behind the register was so helpful and kind. She answered all our questions, and we love this place. We'll definitely be back again when we're in town.

Once we got into the store, it was full of old time candy from my childhood. Even though there was a line, the server took his time and helped us find the perfect order. He offered suggestion to my wife as they out tighter the prefect milkshake. I ordered a single serving on a waffle cone. The serving was very generous. Not to be outdone, my son orders the double. It was a mountain of ice cream! The server was kind and engaging. He made us feel like we were his only customers. Again, the ice cream was delicious. And the atmosphere was fun. We will definitely be back.

Thankfully they were all waiting to get ice cream, which left the chocolate station with no line. While there were so many treats to choose from, I got the white chocolate peanut butter ball, a piece of milk chocolate toffee, and a graham cracker with chocolate. All the pieces were truly delectable, but I'd easily say the milk chocolate toffee was my favorite. I don't know if it's because of how it was made, but it put the heath toffee bar to shame! It's hard to describe but just know it's worth trying! I regret not getting more.

The staff member was absolutely amazing in helping us decide which flavors to try, ingredients, and cost. There are lots of sweet and salty flavors to sample. It is hard to choose. We had such an amazing experience we hoped they would be back after the hurricane. Instead of waiting for our next trip to Florida, we made an online order. We ordered Jan 8 and just received our order this week, Feb 20, 2025. There was one issue after another that delayed shipment. We were concerned with the lack of communication. When we finally had a response, it sounds like the owners had a lot going on. The owners sent some samples as a sorry for the issues and delay and a few other extras due to being out of the flavor that were in stock when we ordered. We appreciate the honesty and customer service from company's like this.
