I didn't buy any chocolate, but did pick up some fudge. The fudge was very reasonable in price, and very well made."

The candies. Shakes, malts, coffees and hot cocoa AND ICE CREAMS! The coconut and toasted coconut ice creams couples with the best ever chocolate ice cream, Captains Chocolate...is divine! Plus, they give you a punch card for free scoops that I can't fill up fast enough!"

I am so grateful my friend and I didn't go to a chain ice cream store. The building is beautiful, the art gallery across the hall is absolutely wonderful. The staff in both places was friendly and polite. The store was clean and the shelves were well stocked and neatly kept. I will definitely go back here and I highly recommend stopping here."

You can get everything from different kinds of candy to coffee and ice cream. It’s easy to get sugar overload. I ordered a 2 scoop sundae. The Butterfinger and chocolate ice cream made a delicious combination. It was thick, smooth, and full of flavor. You can also add a wide variety of toppings. It’s an ice cream, and chocolate lover's dream come true. I am looking forward to my next trip to Joplin, Missouri."
