I only came here for ice cream so I don't think there is really much more that I can say other than the ice cream i had (mint chocolate chip) was good and the price was fine. More generally this is a pretty charming shop, though there are other places in the st. charles historic area that also serve ice cream. i think it's worth a visit if you're coming to this area already read more

Absolutely hands down the best fudge in the area. Make sure to try the dark chocolate flavor! Always excited to stop by and try some truffles as well. read more

A pleasant ice creamery with dozens of flavors to choose from in an old timey feeling shop. It's in the basement of a building. From the front on Main Street steps lead down to the shop. There's no ADA accessibility from the front. However, the shop is on ground level with the parking lot in back. read more

Fantastic experience! My kid has a peanut allergy. We asked if it could be accommodated. The server washed the scoop so it had no residue from other flavors, opened a fresh container, and scooped it in an area away from other items. The server was kind, patient, careful and understanding. It was amazing that my kid could safely enjoy his favorite dessert, which rarely happens outside of the home. The shop was filled with adorable decor, and though the line was out the door and wrapped around the entire store, we had fun looking at everything while we waited. The ice cream itself was delicious and the scoops were generously sized. They had a coffee bar that smelled amazing, so we'll be back to try it next time. Overall an A+ experience, and the owner should be proud of the young man who served us. read more

Great Service! People are amazing! Great stop for all of your ice cream and Candy wants and needs!

I've been visiting Riverside Sweets since I moved to Old Town St. Charles a few years ago...I began taking my bicycle out on the Katy Trail (just beyond it), and you know what tastes AMAZING after a long summer bike ride?? Lemon bar ice cream in a sugar cone. It's one of those things I didn't even know I needed until I'd tried it at RS, and now I cannot live without it read more

Food: 5 Stars Service: 5 Stars I love this cozy little shop along Main Street! Walk inside and you'll find rows of mini bags filled with your favorite handmade sweets! From licorice, taffy, caramels and more! On the other side of the shop, you'll find their wide selection of ice cream. If you're in need of a little (or a lot) treat, be sure to check out Riverside Sweets! read more

I'm an old fashioned kind of girl, so I love an old fashioned kind of store, particularly when it comes to sweets. They make fresh fudge here in every flavor you can think of. They've got penny candy types of sweets, ice cream, peanut brittle and chocolates. This place is booming in the summer. I guess everyone else appreciates the traditional feel of this place too! read more

Really good chocolate. I got the milk chocolate peanut clusters and the milk chocolate almond clusters and they were both very good! I liked the almond cluster a little bit more but both were very good. They put a lot of almonds in each cluster. The girls behind the counter were very nice. read more

This teenie tiny ice cream shop is jam ram packed with delicious treats. Everywhere you look, there's a wall of yumminess! Slabs of fudge, buckets of candy, and vats of luscious frozen ice cream. Even though there is only a moderate variety, the ones that I sampled were rich, creamy, and oh so decadent. After a 3 second deliberation I decided to try a waffle cone mounded with Sea salt caramel with chocolate chunks. A decision I highly recommend to you. read more

We stopped in here after my son saw it on the way to dinner across the street. What a pleasant surprise to stumble into. My kids each got ice cream and they both said they loved it. I got two truffles that were good. But the BEST thing ever is their taffy. My husband got a bag of taffy and, oh, how I wish we'd bought 12 bags. It's usually one of my least favorite candies but it's amazing and I can't stop eating it. It's so soft and the flavors are so good and it doesn't get sticky. read more

It has all kinds of chocolates and sweet treats but a little on the expensive side. I don't know that I would go completely out of my way to go there. Maybe if they had a lunch menu of some sort to go along with the treats and the businesses around there that may need something b sides the sweets. It was a pleasant area and clean. Maybe I'm just not that big into eating a bunch of candy. read more

Such a lovely and inviting store. Bagged peanut brittle, peppermint bark and other sweets along the far wall. Ice cream at reasonable prices. Hand-dipped. Four different cone choices. All the fudge on-premises-made (in flavors uncountable, but including vanilla, chocolate, chocolate pecan, maple pecan, walnut) is available in many varieties of boxes. One flavor only, mix of two, mix of three, 1/4 pound, 1/2 pound and more . . . you get the picture. On the back side wall are hundreds of ornaments, all hand-made and unique in their own ways. I was just so taken with one whose sentiment was: Leave the Dog. Take my Sister. Soooo close to home. There are many marshmallow-person ornaments that are cute, cute, cute. read more

Hidden gem alert! I hadn't ever heard of this place, but while walking down Main Street with some other Yelpers, they were craving ice cream. So we went in and joined the huge line around the store (which was caused by it being a holiday walk day with special events - I doubt it's always like that!). While we waited our turns, we were exposed to TONS and TONS of hand packed, hand made sweets by Riverside. There was pretty much everything you can think of and more. I picked up some candied fruit slices and some hard candies. I also got this cute little owl decoration made of what seems like real white feathers. They have little decorative items as well. I wasn't planning on buying or ordering anything, but I ended up giving in to peer pressure (haha, that's what I'll call it) and getting mint chocolate chip ice cream on a cone. I noticed there was a big candy case with chocolate covered everything and more, but the register I was paying at was before it, so I didn't have time to browse or buy anything. If it hadn't been so packed, I would've bought more. But, it's probably better! Prices were excellent too. This will definitely be on my list of must-stops when on Main Street! read more

Excellent The creamery here has a good variety and the ice cream actually taste great. Love supporting small business. The downstairs section is closed for the winter but they are open on the street level. read more

This is probably the greatest candy store in St. Louis! I love this place, I've taken the family here a couple times. There is no end to the variety of candy you will find here! Jelly beans to chocolate. I love the pecan turtles. A must try! Also the ice cream here seems to be a big hit! On a warm day on Main street, this place is a must for your sweet tooth! read more

HORRIBLE fudge. SO dry. I paid like 8 dollars for fudge that I didn't even finish because it was so chalky, grainy, and old tasting. Had a been able to get a sample of the flavor I wanted I would have gladly ordered something else. Just don't get the fudge! read more

Cute shop in historic St. Charles. We ordered some caramel apples, fudge, salted caramels, turtles, dipped strawberries, and chocolate covered cherries. Everything was DELICIOUS.

This is the best candy store I have ever visit. The ice cream is excellent and the chocolate covered strawberries and the home made butterfingers are awesome. The staff is always very nice, friendly and professional and I also met the owner today and I can definitely see why this is a great store, cause she was extremely helpful and very friendly. This will be my main sweet spot for my boys and I. read more

Love love love this place. I've come here a few times when I was in town. They have the best peanut butter fudge ever. I just wish they had a location where I live. Maybe one day they will offer shipping options. read more

Wow, thats the best way to describe Riverside Sweets. I was in the area for lunch this past weekend and decided to stop in for a quick look. First off there was a small line waiting for ice cream, which was surprisingly cheap... and good. However the best part is the sweets, while I didn't buy anything they had some amazing sounding treats, one that stood out and I regret not buying was the Oreo Cookie Bark, which looked amazing, and just like the ice cream was surprisingly cheap. I believe that all the candy and fudge is made on site. The store also offers small decorative items, however the real magic is the sweets. I think I need to make another visit to pickup some treats for Easter. I have to say if you are in St.Charles its worth visiting Historic Main Street and stopping by Riverside Sweets. Go ahead and treat yourself! read more

We love this place. Whenever we hit Main Street we always come here. The ice cream is great, but our family favorite is the candy. Chocolate covered EVERYTHING! The smores, the oreos...and my personal favorite, the homemade peanut butter cups. Don't miss it! read more

They are very generous with the single scoop! For $2.61 after tax, I got the biggest single scoop ice cream ever. It was milky and tasty. I woofed it down in couple of minutes before moving on to check out rest of the little shops along Main Street. This is a great little stop that doesn't break the bank. read more

If you are wanting a sweet treat or a delicious waffle cone while wasting away a Saturday (or any day) on Main, make sure you make a pit stop at Riverside Sweets. You cannot miss it. Its right on the corner and there are always people lined up outside or sitting on nearby benches with a cone in hand! When you walk in, the line usually greets you right at the door! Lucky you, you get to look at all kinds of candy, fudge, mints, taffy, chocolate, and ice cream as you wait! The employees are usually of the younger crowd and I am pretty sure they don't keep their crushes a secret to the customers. The ice cream is a tad bit more than I would get from DQ or Fritzs but there is just something about the hand scooped ice cream in a fresh waffle cone! read more

love this place. it's super cute and the staff is super friendly. my friend and i came here to get ice cream while other friends were doing a project down the street. the girl who helped us was super nice and put up with all my stupidity of "how late are you open?" and "can i try ALL the samples?!" this is really just like any other really cute and awesome sweet shop in a historical neighborhood. it has lots of bulk candies and chocolates and random other things. their ice cream was really tasty and there was more of it than i expected given the price. all in all, if i'm craving candy and in the area, i'll stop by. read more

All I have to say is OREO COOKIE BARK... I live in Chicago but will drive down to St. Louis to buy a bag.

This cute little shop on Main Street in St. Charles has just about everything you could imagine! They have chocolates, fudge, ice cream, and tons and tons of candy. One of the things I really like about this shop is their hours. With the exception of restaurants, most shops close around 5 or 6 on Main Street. Not Riverside Sweets! While I think some of their items are overpriced, I was extremely pleased with the chocolate my sister and I ordered the last time we were in this shop. I ordered a milk chocolate caramel and my sister ordered a dark chocolate sea salt caramel. Both were really good. i was really impressed with how soft my chocolate was, the size, and how much caramel they packed into that one piece. I most certainly will be back! read more

Highly recommend the plain chocolate fudge and the cashew brittle. They also serve ice cream and also have an ice cream parlor on the lower level during the warmer months. read more
