Caruso's has made candy on Front Street in Dowagiac since 1922, and the soda fountain along the wall — tile, marble, mirrors — has never been replaced. Chocolates in front, sundaes behind.

Dowagiac is a small town in Michigan but it has quite a gem there. Caruso's was such a pleasant surprise. It was so great just walking into the store. It was like walking into a bit of my past. A vintage soda fountain and wonderful candy store. Everything was just delicious. Sandwiches, milkshakes and chocolate candy and very friendly employees. You can't ask for anything more than that. What a great time we had there just sitting and relaxing and enjoying the surroundings.

I come here for lunch typically at least once a week. Lovely sandwiches for a great price. Come for lunch, stay for the house made candy and ice cream! I tend towards the chocolate covered Oreos myself, but do not sleep on the malt balls!

such a cute mom and pop candy shop! i absolutely loved the decor, makes you feel like you’re taking a step back in time. i did not love my drink (dirty diet coke with lime) but i think that was my taste bud’s fault. my friend pictured got a new fall drink which included apple cider and green apple boba. this drink was very good. extremely reasonable prices and they have a great selection of food, drinks, and candy. definitely will be back!
