😐 My husband and I hopped in here after an appointment down the street and the smell as soon as you walk in is so delicious! The staff were so kind and welcoming and walked us through the options. Everything is handmade in house and that is certainly reflected in the prices! We ordered a espresso truf... People often mention treats, shop, amazing, time, delicious, staff, sweet, candy,

    My husband and I hopped in here after an appointment down the street and the smell as soon as you walk in is so delicious! The staff were so kind and welcoming and walked us through the options. Everything is handmade in house and that is certainly reflected in the prices! We ordered a espresso truffle, a pumpkin spice truffle, a milk chocolate turtle, an iced tea and a chocolate pretzel stick for $17. The truffles and turtle for me were VERY sweet and I can handle sweet, it just seemed to overpower any other flavors. I expected the espresso to be more balanced but was still veryyy sweet. The pretzel was good. I really wish they offered samples or something because they had some pretty unique combinations and treats that I would possibly purchase, but its a little too pricey to hope. I would return and try other options that are hopefully not as sweet, but the vibes were immaculate and the customer service was great.

    The women that work at the shop were absolutely amazing and joyful to be around. We were recommended this place to celebrate my daughter getting her braces off with a taffy apple. This cute little shop had so many different varieties it was hard to choose from. We walked in and was greeted with smiles. I love the choices of drinks as well. I highly recommend this place not only for taffy apples but for a true enjoyment of seeing people doing what they love and making others happy. Thank you for celebrating this moment with me and my daughter.

    Fantastic locally-owned shop! They have a nice variety of vintage / old-school candies which is very fun, in addition to attractive and yummy chocolates and confections made in-house. We were shopping for a 7 year old and decided to get an assortment of all kinds of candies. The owner put it all together in a very fancy and thoughtful presentation when we told her what it was for. What a great place with great products owned and run by great people!

    The workers are very welcoming, and it's very kid friendly. Tons of options to choose from. Coffee, desserts, milkshakes, homemade treats. Overall an amazing experience.

    I love this cute sweet place! Every time I enter, I’m assaulted….with excellent customer service! They have so many different treats available. They always greet me with happy smiles and always tasty suggestions. Highly recommend 😁😁.

    We made a delightful pit stop at our cherished downtown Frankfort candy store. On this visit, we decided to savor the Pistachio Vanilla Latte, and it was absolutely delightful. We wholeheartedly endorse this establishment ~ every item is lovingly crafted and homemade, ensuring freshness in every bite. It’s a family-run business (like ours), and Maria, the owner, is just as sweet as the delectable treats she creates.

    Maria & her entire staff are phenomenal. Always pleasant & the treats are simply beyond delicious. The cherry candy apples bring back childhood memories from downtown Chicago at Christmas time.

    My wife and I stopped by this amazing little shop this past weekend and it was the highlight of my day. The moment we walked in we were cheerfully greeted by the smiling woman behind the counter. All of the workers were beaming as they waited on us and continued to prepare delicious looking sweets before our very eyes. It was so nice to see everyones smiling face. The chocolates we ended up purchasing (after much deliberation due to the fact that everything looked incredible) were delicious! I can't recommend this place highly enough and we will definitely be back the next time we're in town! Cheers from CT

    Not only are the drinks and sweets super good but the staff is so incredibly friendly. They greet everyone immediately, always ask for my name and remember it, using it multiple times. You can tell they really love their jobs. Can't recommend it enough!!

    Really cute family-owned candy shop. Worth a visit even if you don't buy anything. Employees are super nice.

    Best family owned business I have ever experienced. The customer service is outstanding. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly, over the top. The goodies and coffee are amazing! Decor and options bring me back to my childhood, it's like a mini-Willy Wonka! Definitely worth the trip!

    Stopped in today for the 1st time and was surprised at both how small the store is and how much they had in there lol. Old time treats to new ones, little of everything. Staff was friendly and helpful. We ordered Chai Tea lattes and had a chocolate dipped jalapeño with salted caramel.. the lattes were great and the jalapeño was f n amazing! Definitely going back to try more things.

    Very nice place with kinda staff. Delightful truffles with interesting flavors and all sorts of other hand made treats I'll have to return to try. My sister loves their shakes and coffee drinks and their fudge. Local gem.

    This is the cutest shop! The treats are delicious. My girls particularly love the strawberry milkshakes. Everyone who works here is extremely kind and friendly to the customers, as well as to each other. We have a very positive experience every time we visit. I cannot recommend Short and Sweet Tasty Treats enough!
