    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!

    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!

    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!!

    Came back to try their icecream and I was not disappointed! So many flavors to choose from, very flavorful and so creamy! As always staff is nice and they keep up with the trends to I had to try the Swedish candy.

    Coming back here is something I rarely do but it brings me back to my childhood. It's a candy store as well as ice cream. Everything is so good and for those who want to know. Yes they have a good selection of sugar free candies/chocolates as well. I had to stop in.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Loved it here! So cute inside & the customer service was amazing! They have so many old school vintage candies & bomb fresh fudge and chocolates made in so many varieties! Love it here! I got the mint fudge & omg if you love mint you have to try it - I'm going back on my day off to buy 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! I decided to pick up some peanut brittle and chocolate covered pecans for my Grandmother and she loved them. I also ordered spicy mango gummies which were also tasty! Staff were welcoming and helpful and the whole process was quick and easy.

    Liled's is a must-visit! I always get pineapple Dole Whip when I'm at Disneyland, so I was so excited to find another place that serves it. They also have fun, trendy ice cream flavors like matcha and Thai tea. If you've got a sweet tooth their candy selection is amazing, freeze-dried candy, Dubai chocolate, gummies, and so much more. I'll definitely be back!

    I visited to get another bottle of the: Sepay Groves…read moreFrantoio EVOO which is cold-pressed olives with a high poly- a bit peppery, grassy and (to me) a tad bitter. I use as a finishing oil drizzled on roast vegetables or for pasta dishes. Frantoio olive oil also has known health benefits! A great antioxidant, reduce inflammation, help with lowering cholesterol and for heart health due to high polyphenols. I'm all for it...a daily tablespoon or two will do ya! If you're a bit more adventurous you can go with the other high polyphenol EVOO of Spanish olives called Hojiblanca. Plenty of options of vinegars and olive oils to sample before you buy. Bought the 18yr old aged balsamic which elevates any dressing and your friend's will comment "how come mine doesn't taste like yours" (evil laugh!) ...quality ingredients make a difference! Staff helpful and will provide ideas for pairings with food and educate on the wonderful selection of products. Store shelves were not fully stocked (when I visited in Jan) but you can ask and a bottle will be filled in the back. Plenty of street parking and towards the end of First Street. Make it a destination for waterfront hike, shopping and eating! Support small business

    I really like this place. Both owners are knowledgeable and pleasant…read more Their patience with me as I ask stupid questions about olive oil and vinegars. I like what I like but have no real knowledge. That's why I like Sepay. Lots of surprises in the store beyond oil and vinegars. Soup mixes that are really good. Pasta, dips... you just need to go to the store. Next door in a wine place that opens at 4:00 that can round out the journey.
