I LOVE THIS ICE CREAM SHOP! This review is long overdue, and it's a long one. This shop is a warm welcoming neighborhood spot. Everyone working the counter is SO KIND! I love the staff, I love the selection, the chocolates are great, the ice cream is creamy, the caramel apples are fabulous. It's a step into the past in the best, most wonderful way. The shop itself is clean and well cared for, the bathroom is always clean and tidy. And really, seriously, the people who work there are so welcoming and kind and warm and I love coming in for a treat. This is a great place to spend your money, support this wonderful local business. Very very very very kid/family friendly! Everyone who works here is a treasure, you are so appreciated. read more

A favorite small business treat shop since I moved to Vallejo as a teenager. Although Liled's has gone thru different changes over the years; its kept its humble town charm. I fell to the the Dubai chocolate craze...and I gotta say im loving it.Kudos to the lady who reccommended the original cup. I ended up adding a few gummy bears to the order. To anyone that needs a little old school nostalgia in their life head to Liled's. Ciao for now...... read more

There's something about small ice cream shops that makes my heart melt when I bring my kids inside. The place is pretty inconspicuous from the outside. The windows are painted over with pretty treats but from the outside you really can't see in. Walking in is like walking into a gingerbread house. Tons of treats everywhere. My kids enjoyed the atmosphere. The service was super friendly. The young man that was helping us was very patient with my kids and offered samples. My kids are picky but having this option was perfect for them to try things they've never had. I got the Dubai chocolate in a cup. Pricey but was good. You'd have to eat it once you get it because it's not that great after refrigerating it. I also picked up some chocolates for my husband. There is parking on the street outside of the store as well as down the side streets. We'll be back for sure! read more

Always wanted to check them out and I'm so happy I did. I parked right out front to find a lovely showcasing of Valentines paintings on the windows. It was adorable. It's a small but cute shop that has chocolate candies and confections, ice cream (to eat at the store and take to go), banana splits, sugar free chocolates, and sour treats. I love their selection of goodies. They also had freeze dried candies and Swedish candy. They have a super cute seating area, a few tables and chairs, and a corner booth. I love the family atmosphere, and how it felt cozy and welcoming. I purchased chocolate covered bacon and a Dubai chocolate tart. The employees were nice, friendly, and patient. I really enjoyed my visit! Come check them out and support their business! read more

First time visiting this local ice cream shop, and I used to live in Vallejo for a long time, and I'm shocked that I never knew about this place!!! A friend told us that they sell the Dubai chocolate with strawberry, so I wanted to give it a try. As soon as you come in, the interior reminds me of an old-fashioned antique chocolate shop, and I love it!! They have a few tables and chairs to hang out on. Also have a lot of selections of candies, chocolates, and ice cream. I had to stop myself from buying all the goodies!!! The Dubai Chocolate with Strawberry was good, not too sweet, and having the strawberries complements the whole thing. I wish there were more chocolate, though. Parking is on the street and at the back of the store. There is also parking in the neighborhood. I'll come back here and try other items!! read more

Great gem in Vallejo with a long history. Love their ice cream, frozen yogurts are also good. Carmel apples this time of year fly off the shelves, sooo gooood! Very friendly staff. Love their ice cream painted windows for each season. The brittles are also delicious. If you are lucky, there's a nice place to sit inside to enjoy your treats. Stop by for a walk into yesteryears nostalgia. read more

Tried this place after six flags, so good! Very cute little shop we got a banana split and some candies. Ice cream was really good and the have a old pac man machine free to play that the kids were on. The people working there were very friendly and all waved goodbye when we were leaving. Will definitely come back when we are in the neighborhood. read more

* Dubai Chocolate Alert * We tried the Dubai chocolate cups instead of the full bar for our first time, and wow... so good! If you love pistachios, tahini, and milk chocolate, you'll love these. The full bar is worth the price since it's handmade from scratch, not mass-produced. Small businesses deserve every cent! Grab yours here and enjoy not just the chocolate but also the amazing customer service. They're proud of their work, and it shows! read more

Great place for a treat of assorted candy, ice cream and sweet treats for anytime. We went here for a Rocky Road shake and my better half had a Coffee shake. Both creamy and thick and had the option of adding whipped cream. As we were paying noticed they had a Dubai Chocolate cup and Chocolate Bischoff cookie we took to go. We had it the next day and enjoyed them both. Service was good and it looks like everyone in your party will find something they would want to try. They also have sugar free treats too! read more

As I walked in, I was greeted with the smell of pure sweetness! It's a small shop, but it was jam packed with goodies at every corner. I was overwhelmed by the amount of sweet, sugar variety that was at my fingertips. I wanted to touch and try everything! The staff was busy "candy-making" so it took a minute before they realized I was waiting at the counter ready to place my order. The staff was friendly. They were patient with the first-timers and undecisive customers. I ordered the viral dubai strawberry chocolate cup and their chocolate pistachio cup, both were very good. I'm looking forward to trying their other stuff. read more

If you're looking for a sweet treat and a little piece of Vallejo history, Lileds is a must-visit! I stopped in and was instantly greeted with the warm, nostalgic vibe that only a true local gem can offer. Their ice cream sundaes are next level--especially the creamy Dubai Sundae. Rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, it's the kind of dessert that makes you pause mid-bite just to say "WOW." ‍ They also have an impressive selection of freeze-dried candy that's just as fun to eat as it is to look at--think childhood favorites with a cool twist! Beyond the treats, what makes Lileds truly special is the history. This candy kitchen goes back to 1936, originally known as Mary Sanders Candy Store. It was bought and renamed by Lil and Ed in 1937, and the legacy lives on today. You can literally taste the tradition in every bite--and you can read more about their incredible story on their website! This is more than just a sweets shop--Lileds is a Vallejo institution and a place where community, culture, and candy collide in the best way possible. Don't just drive by--stop in and support local history and flavor! read more

This place has been around for so long and I have not ever written a review for it. They are a cute little shop that make everything from chocolates, popcorn, ice cream, shakes, and there's candies, jams, etc. so much to choose from I love their ice creams and shakes and starting to go through their many chocolate candies too. So glad I do not live too close to this place and the workers there friendly and sweet. There is a couple tables to enjoy your treats but it can get crazy busy and crowded at times. read more

Liled's is definitely one of the best! I usually order their chocolate covered strawberries but decided to stop by to try their Dubai chocolate strawberries. Oh my goodness! Absolutely mouthwatering!

Staff were welcoming and helpful and the whole process was quick and easy. read more

I've been wanting to go here to try the viral dubai chocolate, promote small local businesses, and try this since I always read good recommendations about this place. Good customer service, fast despite the long line with a group of people (like 10+?) and a little bit crowded when I went there. I ordered a $14.95 dubai strawberry cups that contains mostly strawberries, a little but of tahini, pistachios, chocolate. Also had one chocolate dipped marshmallows for $3.95. All home made and local. Street parking. read more

My babes surprised me and suggest we try their Dubai chocolate cup. What a treat! Smells of sugary bliss when you walk in. Super friendly kids that work there. Live the welcoming vibe of the place. You can find ice cream, or soft serve, chocolates, seasonal candies and other snacks to tempt your sweet tooth. Brought so many memories at this location! Love it!!! read more

We love this place so much & visit around 2 times a month. But unfortunately that will have to stop. We were there over the weekend & we got 2 scoops on a cone & 1 scoops in a cup & it was over $19! Maybe every 6 weeks now because we love the charm and staff. read more

led Ice Cream Shop in Vallejo is a hidden gem! My fiancé wanted to try the chocolate strawberry with Dubai chocolate, which we had at another place in Concord, but this spot is definitely better.

The shop has a welcoming vibe, making it a great place to bring the family for a sweet treat. If you're looking for a quality dessert spot in Vallejo, this is it.

Still great times at Liled's. There has been new ownership since my last review but the store has not skipped a beat. Ice cream and candies are still great and some trendy things, too (like the Dubai-inspired offerings). Love this shop. read more

Delicious ice cream and outstanding service from the friendly young lady overseeing the scoops. She suggested the Horchata ice cream and it was sooo good! The ice cream is at just the right temperature to keep it creamy and not icy. I did not try any candy, but it looked great - most of it is freshly made in-house. read more

Me & my family have been here a couple of times. Their chocolate is really good! Drove all the way from Fairfield to try this Dubai strawberry cup & it did not disappoint. Very delicious! Both the Dubai strawberry cup & brownie!!!!!!!! Definitely, a must try! read more

What a gem of an ice cream and candy shop in Vellejo! We were in the East Bay for an appointment and stopped in for ice cream, but what we got was so much more! Our favorite peanut marzipan from Mexico, made in-house chocolates, a caramel apple, and yes... fantastic ice cream, too. Diya made us feel like her personal guests as we navigated all of the options, and gave us great recommendations, too. We'll be back for the delicious treats and her wonderful hospitality again soon! read more

Liled's is a secret gem in Vallejo, serving up a variety of home-made ice cream, chocolates, candies, etc. it's like stepping back in time into an old fashioned ice cream parlor/candy emporium.

Perfect stop for families with kids, or couples, or the single sweet tooth. Enjoy! read more

This place is the old school real deal. The two older teenagers working behind the counter were cheerfully unbothered by our indecisiveness, and happily gave highly educated opinions on the best truffles (white chocolate marzipan and french mint). Standout ice cream flavors : lemon custard, banana oreo, butter brickle, pomegranate soft serve. 12/10 for taste, variety, friendliness, and price. I'm getting next year's holiday treats here. read more

So rare to find a made in shop candy store. We love to come here to get the kids some ice cream as well as some candy to have for later. There is a small space inside to sit and enjoy your cone or candy. Lots of chocolate and sugar free chocolate to pick from. The salted caramel is one of my favorites. They offer a wide variety of hard candy as well. Even freeze dried candy which is harder to find. read more

Nice little hidden gem Great place to take the kids for ice cream and candy. No complaints about my banana split!

I wish I took a photo of the Dubai strawberry chocolate cup and the mini Dubai bar. Both so good and not too sweet! It was my first time here a couple weeks ago and I can't wait to go back. Customer service was spot on. I was able to try a few of their ice cream flavors. So good! I got the banana rocky road. YUM! The shop is filled with chocolates and candies and they have a large variety of sugar free confections. read more

Amazing frozen yogurt! Their dubai chocolate bars are huge and delicious. They also have Dubai chocolate strawberry cups, along with Dubai chocolate brownies! They have all types of sweet treats. From boxed chocolate, taffy to ice cream and sugar free options as well! The employees are kind and quick. The store is well kept and clean. It's a gem to Vallejo! read more

Went in here after preschool graduation to reward our boy with a sweet treat. The store is easy to miss on the busy street so make sure you use your gps if you're not familiar with the area. Lovely little store with handmade sweets of all kinds. From chocolates to gummies and a full service ice cream & fro yo bar, Liled's doesn't disappoint. The staff was kind, friendly and moved quickly. The ice cream was creamy and cold but not the point it would be hard to eat. You could choose to make ice cream a sundae complete with whipped cream, sprinkles, & cherry or just grab a scoop (or two)! They even offer an old school banana split. The only draw back is that seating is pretty limited.... Roughly 12 seats in total (1 large booth and 2 round tables). Best thing about this place is affordability. Everything was reasonably priced. For under $20 bucks you can get a few great treats AND support a local business. Pro tip: if street parking isn't available, check behind the store! There's a handful of spaces for easy in and out and the side street parking is relatively well shaded. read more
