The Chocolate Ox - Just go. - Candy Stores Near Me - Nisswa, Minnesota

The Chocolate Ox in Nisswa is such a fun little stop, especially if you have kids. The shop is packed with candy, toys, Jellycat animals, and so many colorful things to look at that it almost feels like stepping into a candy wonderland. The ice cream itself was good, though the flavor selection was a bit smaller than we expected. We also wish they offered a smaller child-sized scoop since the standard scoops are pretty large at around $5 each. Still, the atmosphere was cheerful and memorable, and it's definitely the kind of place we'd visit again on a future trip to Nisswa. read more

The Chocolate Ox - Superman Ice Cream! Yummmm - Candy Stores Near Me - Nisswa, Minnesota

Very impressed with the selection of candy, ice cream, and fudge/chocolates this place has to offer! The staff members were friendly and also very helpful to find a "safe" ice cream option for my child with a food allergy! They have an up to date list of all the ice cream flavors, along with all of the ingredients available upon request. I appreciate the attention to detail they took ensuring to use a new ice cream scoop to ensure the safety of their product for my child! We will for sure be back! read more

Great selection. Cute patio outdoors to eat treats. Bit busy but many helpful workers made the line for treats move quick.

This was one of the first places where I encountered a tip screen at a retail store. Like, you deserve a tip for running my credit card for a candy purchase? Unreal. I think there was also a tip jar. The chocolate was good, and the store ambiance was cramped. read more

When my grandkids are in town this is their go to place. Also, I gift a box of their truffles for friend's birthdays. A gem in the gem of a town...Nisswa! read more

A must stop for all things candy and ice cream! Lots of options for my son with nut allergies and very clean so I have confidence with him choosing safe options. Just this morning we were walking by early (we're big into early coffee walks before town opens) and the owner came out, chatted and handed my son a giant lollipop and made his day! Great candy and generous owners, who could ask for more? read more

Pretty unique and cool atmosphere. I'm not sure where the hype comes from, Ice cream was good, chocolates we got were good too! All the other candy is stuff you can get at the store and it's very marked up. I did like the different flavor taffy! I'd definitely go back for an ice cream. read more

A fun and cute little place to fulfill your sugary needs. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the different truffles that they offered and majority of them were delicious. Don't forget about the ice cream too, so many different flavors to choose from and they are extra nice with their serving sizes too. Highly recommend the visit if you're in town. read more

This has been here for many years and it deserves to continue. It is what you think about for a candy and ice cream store. Lots of selections. It is clean and bright, yet has a cozy and intimate feel. Good products for a reasonable price. read more

Downtown Nisswa is so lucky to have The Chocolate Ox! The manager, Kelsey, and her staff are wonderful! So friendly and personable. The ice cream is one of the best I've ever had, and the waffle cones are a must. Very reasonably priced. Lots of current and "old timey" candy, plus delicious fudge. If you like chocolate, get over to the Ox, you will leave happy and tummies, too! read more

Such a fun shop! Always enjoy stopping in for unique ice cream and goodies. Definitely recommend.

Amazing ice cream and a fantastic old school can't selection. With this ice cream in town, I'm surprised the DQ is still in business, it was SO GOOD! Their candy selection was also amazing. My husband was acting like a kid again buying candy we hadn't seen since our childhoods. Such a cute place read more

The ice cream here is delicious! So yummy! This is a true ice cream place. Many great flavors! I had the coconut almond bliss, was unbelievable. Also had praline which was great! My wife had the lemon ice which she really liked! Highly recommend this place! read more

Omg this candy/ice cream shop was so cute. I had a scoop of ice cream and it was delicious.

We stopped here for ice cream, and found it a good value. $4 for a huge bowl. Beware, a single scoop is like three scoops you would do yourself at home! I couldn't finish my single scoop, and my athlete college kid barely finished his. Pro tip: they will split a single scoop into two scoops, so you can get two flavors! The ice cream is good quality, they get it from the Ice Cream Shoppe in Madison. We like it, but find many of the flavors way too sweet. But they will let you try as many flavors as you want to find your jam! I just wish they made malts, as that was what I was craving. read more

Kids today must get enough sugar rush from the high fructose corn syrup in their morning cereal and strawberry milk at school because candy shops like this have largely disappeared. With Jelly Beans, Taffy, Gumballs, Swedish Fish, and Gobstoppers stacked floor to ceiling this store has all of the commercial candy you would expect and more. There is also an ice cream counter serving up Kemp's flavors if you need a sweet treat to cool off. I normally skip these options and skirt around the crowd by opting for the handmade confections in the glass cases up front. TIP: This place has a great selection of classic sodas from around the country like Cheerwine and Bubble Up, grab one to enjoy as you are strolling through the "pretty good" shops in Nisswa. read more

Great place to take kids young and old. Best flavor of ice cream is called This Just Got Serious.

I have been going to the Chocolate Ox since 2004 - and it is amazing. Beautiful homemade candy, amazing ice cream and anything you can image. If your mouth isn't watering then your not at the Chocolate Ox. read more

Great ice cream & many kinds of old time candy you don't find anywhere else. They have a nice outdoor area to enjoy your treats on a nice day. read more

Our family always enjoys every experience at the Chocolate Ox, whether in for an ice cream treat, fudge or the plethora of candy - we are always happily satisfied leaving the Ox! read more

Awesome Candy store!!! They have sugar sweets galore plus as much chocolate as you could ever want! A truly unique little shop with all of your favorite childhood treats. They have soda in glass bottles...homemade fudge and gummy bears the size of your face! They have those huge jaw breakers too that take a year to eat. Such an awesome place. I only wish there was one closer to me. read more

LOVE THIS!!! Smells so yummy whenever I walk in and when it's hot outside I love the AC. All the candy is very yummy and delicious

Dessert on Saturday night came from the Ox. A scoop (which is more like two scoops) of monster cookie dough (have you seen this anywhere else?) and I was ready for a food coma. Others got waffle cones which looked and tasted amazing, whereas I decided on the sugar cone and was pleased. Likewise glad I stopped by on almost a full stomach as I could have spent a lot more time and money here with all of the delicious looking chocolates and candies. Will be back again! read more

Most amazing icecream and candy ever. I've been coming here for as long as I can remember as did my dad and no one in my family has ever had a bad experience here. Their icecream is phenomenal and the employees are incredibly nice and kind people. The store is really cute and fun. It's by far my favorite place in Nisswa and I have nothing but positive things to say about it. read more

This place is small and sweet. Filled with more candy than you can shake a candy stick at. There's also fudge and chocolates and other sweet confections. Sadly no bakery but that's OK, there's more than enough sweets in this sweets store to make any sweet tooth smile. Oh yeah, they also have ice cream! Gourmet good stuff. It reminded me of Izzy's which is pretty good in my book. The perfect place to take your kids or sweet heart on a touristy summer's day in Nisswa Square. read more

Touristy, yes, but a must if you are in Nisswa or anywhere nearby. We spent a week nearby recently with extended family and the Jelly Bellies were seriously the hit of the week. Ice cream is delicious, etc. It's a candy store, I mean, what other info do you need? Go here. read more

Smaller than the one in Cross Lake, but has all the same stuff. I wish these places carried more old school candy that would appeal to adults - though as I write that I am not sure what candy I would mean exactly. When I close my eyes I see Will Wonka style candy store...and all that stuff is pretty much here... My daughter goes nuts here and it makes me quite happy. read more

Visited 3 out of 5 days on our vacation! Ice cream is off the charts. Check out their happy hour!
