  Good thing me and my husband stopped here for our ice cream craving. This store has a lot to offer when it comes to sweet and ice creams 🍦🍨. Coming from Virginia, the dreadful drive push us to stop here. I ordered the cappuccino ice cream❤️

  I really wanted to give it more stars but this was such a disappointment. We drove over 30 minutes to check it out as a fun beginning of summer treat. The menu is extensive and the prices are reasonable. The menu also makes very little sense. A dip does not equal a dipped cone but rather how many swirls the soft serve makes. There's an extensive list of toppings for their stuffed cones but more than half you can't use. The ice cream itself was just OK. Honestly, McDonalds soft serve is world's better. The service was kind but this was a one and done experience for us.

  Cute candy store with so much variety. Fudge, truffles and fancy chocolates, old school candies like bottle pops and candy cigarettes. Also has a huge variety of hershey ice cream and seasonal fresh fruit sundaes.

  This is a little far from the center of the DMV, around 1.5 Hrs from DC however it's a good spot and area to visit. The candy land store it's very unassuming when you look at it from the outside because once you get in you will see the wide variety of candies they have but candy and Hershey's chocolate is not all they have to offer, they also have several types of bread, jams and other spreads, sandwiches but the main thing to try at this place, in my humble opinion, is the shakes. I had the mango shake with chamoy and it was an unusual, unexpected but eye opening gastronomic experience. The contrast between the sweetness of the shakes makes perfect sense with the saltiness and kind of a bit spicy chamoy but if you want something less adventurous, they have two more shakes wit a more familiar taste that you can try and once you finish the shake you will be left with a beautifu storel themed glass cup that you can take home and display it as a pig out trophy. I highly recommend you to visit this place you will not regret it and the staff will make sure you have an awesome experience.
