    Mint ice cream
    Angela S.

    Wow I'm buzzing from the rich milk chocolate in my cashew cluster and the mint ice cream cone treat I stopped in for today. They don't mess around here. No fake crappy chocolate at this place. I'm not on a diet, but I'd surely and gladly break it here. Each bite is worth every extra pound. I'm not much of an ice cream fan. In fact, I'm especially not a mint chocolate chip ice cream fan. But holy cow thank you to the four-legged friend who contributed to making this supreme scoop of silky lusciousness. The plan was to share it with my hubby, but he was in shock that I was eating ice cream at all, so he gave me the rest just so he could watch me indulge. The result? I'm having such a sugar high right now I feel like jumping off a cliff! Not sure what's in this stuff, but when you need an afternoon pick-me-up skip the coffee shot and get in here! The real deal chocolate selection will happily overwhelm you, too. A few of my favorite finds today were their dipped chocolate pretzels with sprinkles. Not just a simple dip, but thick dipped chocolate loaded with confetti. Usually I see pretzel sticks, but here they have sticks and twists! One more treat I've not seen before was a simple chocolate drop with sprinkles. A decadent tiny nibble.

    Cute but expensive. Everything from the decor to the presentation of the sweets were delectable. The prices were not clearly displayed which was inconvenient. I would rate 3.5 stars for the festive decorations and themed sweets. I definitely would return to try the ice cream but for this trip, I only got a ladybug. which was pecans held together with caramel and chocolate. It was good however it could be replicated with time and patience. However I'd recommend if you wanted to quickly satisfy your sweet tooth!

    My family has been going to Sweet's for many years. It is an ice cream shop, a candy shop, and an old-fashioned soda fountain all-in-one. The ice cream is Cedarcrest brand and really good. They will make you a milkshake or malt by hand with any ingredients you choose and they are delicious. I recommend the caramel and chocolate for ice cream Sundaes as they make it in-house. The handmaid toffee and other chocolates are fabulous. Many times I skip the ice cream and chocolates and go for a simple handmade Coke. They pump in the syrup and add the carbonation. If you've never had a handmade soft drink, it's worth the trip alone :-) They have some interesting food items as well, care to try a chocolate dipped Twinkie? Or, how about the novelty candy section for a package of Pop Rocks or other memorable candies from your childhood. The store is always decorated for the current season or special holiday. It's not just a place to visit during the summer. We enjoy our Sweet's fix year round. Try and visit around Easter time to see the massive chocolate bunnies :-) Don't be discouraged if you see a long line when you arrive. The crew inside can handle a crowd and we've never waited more than 10 minutes. Sweet's is an all-around great place and has earned its five stars from me .

    Enjoying summer with some good ole ice cream right at the counter

    See all

    What an awesome, full featured confectionery shop. The prices aren't cheap but you can tell with…read moreevery bite that you're getting delicious, high quality treats. The decor in here is super cute, with all the different products being displayed in an organized and attractive manner. This alone makes this a more fun shopping experience than buying candy from a standard grocery store. At times, it may be difficult to determine the price of different items, but the staff is very helpful with helping shoppers navigate their way around the store. There is definitely something for everyone here, but this is especially good if you are a chocolate lover as there's a very wide assortment of available options here. This is particularly true if you're into truffles, with some interesting options such as jalapeno margarita, tiramisu, rum, and others in addition to the usual selection of fruit, coffee, caramel, etc. flavors. This is also a great spot to get interesting looking gifts. Outside of the usual gift boxes and tins, you'll find chocolate in fun shapes (like birthday cake), seasonal confection options with cute decorations, pretzels, nuts, chocolate pops, gummies, and more. Overall, this is a great place to shop for delicious sweets and competitive in price to other premium candy shops. If you're looking for something unique in both design and flavor, definitely come here versus going to a chain store.

So when i'm planning my own parties I try to make sure I have fabulous appetizers and desserts. This past weekend we celebrated my son's bar mitzvah. We chose to bring in our own dessert vendors. I knew we would want Jo Jos Shake Bar since it's always a hit with kids (and adults too), but also wanted to have a fabulous sweets table. For my daughter's bat mitzvah we did it at ravinia festival and they had brought in a bunch of different dessert vendors including Desiree Chocolates. Her desserts were not only delicious (i ate the leftovers for about a month from my freezer), but also absolutely beautiful. When my event planner suggested we reach out to Desiree for sweets I was all in. Desiree made the process pretty easy. We set up a call to discuss our needs and decided on a sweets table + a churro cart. Then many months later we got together for a dessert tasting, which my son claims was the most fun part of the mitzvah planning process. We loved it all, but even added a few of our favorites to her menu- cheesecakes, carrot cake to name a few. The sweets table and churros cart were absolutely perfection and I love how she did a great job of tying my son's tennis theme into it too. I had a few bites of sweets that night since i was too busy socializing to eat much, but i took home a few trays of desserts and fudge and have been munching on them ever since. This time I only took home a bit because i didn't want to eat it for a month like i did last time, but we did have quite a bit leftover - probably since a lot of people filled up on Jo Jos Shake Bar. However, I've had so many compliments since the party on Desiree's cake pops, churros and other desserts so they were a big hit once again. I would definitely use Desiree for future events again- she makes fabulous sweets and displays it all beautifully!

    My family recently went from celebrating a wonderful wedding to a tragic last second funeral…read more Desiree Chocolates was there for both with their delicious sweets. What an amazing offering of items to choose from! The cake pops were well received, and who doesn't love a chocolate covered oreo? I think I had one of those Dubai candy bars that are all the rage (or maybe were all the rage, I'm often behind the trends) and it was one of the best things I've eaten period. The custom churro bar is lots of fun and would be easy to set up wherever you need it. And everything is decorated perfectly, from the confections themselves to the tables and plates they sit on! Desiree Chocolates is a great option for whatever event you've got, just bring your sweet tooth!

She was so excited to see her that she walked over to her and just started chatting. I was clearly next, but she ignored me. What was that about? The. younger employee finally helped me, but was not very friendly. I guess you have to be a friend or a regular to get good service. Even though your candy is good, the customer service is not. This is not the first time this has happened. If you go there, you have to be prepared to spend extra time while the employees and customers chit chat. No thank you. I'll go somewhere else, from now on.
