Reviews summary

This is my go-to place for ice cream in Lakeview. It's super cute and there's a really fun vibe that reminds me of my childhood. There's tons of candy options too and the staff is super friendly. I definitely recommend trying it out! (PS: look out for the raspberry flavor it’s incredible.)

This place is incredible! The chocolate-covered Oreos, graham crackers and pretzels are the best. I haven't even tried their ice cream or hard candy but it doesn't seem like you can really go wrong, here. Very friendly staff!

Windy City Sweets is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. The restaurant is in good condition. Owner Jill and John and GM Will and Bailey are nice. Amazing truffles and ice cream. I like how there is retro candy. Must come back. 10/10.

This place is amazing. So many options for your sweet tooth. They are always very friendly and accommodating to my needs. I was able to get a bunch of candy for Xmas for my friends. They had everything that everyone liked so I only had to make one stop. Would highly recommend in the summer for their ice cream and shakes as well. Definitely check them out if you have a craving for something sweet.
