Description

Transactions here happen on the sidewalk, where you order through a speaker and receive your treats through a lower hatch in the door. When the line is quiet, you might get a rare peek inside the colorful, retro space. The inventory includes chocolates, candies, and ice cream served in mini Chinese takeout containers, though some find the portions small for the price. If you are buying candy, clerks can assemble customized assortments, like a mix of soft chews tailored to sweet or sour preferences. With no indoor seating, customers eat at the two small tables out front.
