Sweeties Soda Shoppe

Sweeties Soda Shoppe is a candy lover's dream come true! Like me!Stepping into their warehouse-sized store is like entering a Willy Wonka-inspired wonderland. Rows upon rows of colorful candies, chocolates, and treats line the shelves, tempting you at every turn. When I say treats, there's so many different kinds, even ones with mini games with candies. After shopping you can check out the ice cream/malt shop inside. The ice cream is creamy and delicious, and the sundaes are over-the-top. There's so many flavors to choose from that they have a huge board on display. They also have soft serve like Dole Whip! It's the perfect way to end a adventure of candy shopping.Whether you're a kid or a kid at heart, Sweeties Soda Shoppe is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth in Cleveland. It's a fun and nostalgic experience that will leave you feeling satisfied and happy.

Fun place to browse and spend way too much money for the nostalgia of it all. The whole family had a nice time.

I hate to say it, but Sweeties Soda Shoppe has deteriorated in service, product and cleanliness. Once a fun CLE icon, it has now joined the ranks of "could not care less" about the customer in service and messy, melting ice cream, literally. Ordered an $8 parfait and received a melted mess with toppings and chocolate running down the sides of the cup. At first, I was told my order was taking longer than expected to get to the table because the person making it had dropped it on the floor, and they had to make another. I did not see that happen. All I can say is that what I received did not look "made over" rather "added to" with melted ice cream throughout except for one small scoop on the top covered in melting whipped cream and a sliding cherry in a stream of runny chocolate. When I told an employee about it she replied, " Ice cream tends to melt faster on a parfait" Um. What? I questioned that and all she could do was look at my order and say, don't worry about the mess, I'll clean it up". There was no attempt at all to make it right, especially since 5 minutes later a person sitting at the table next to me was served a perfectly beautiful parfait, no runs, drips or melts visible. As far as I could tell she was not emptying the napkin holder like I had to to keep the running mess from flooding the tabletop. Anyway, the experience was truly capped off when I left the Shoppe and noticed how filthy the entrance way was. Floor, & baseboards are crusted with dirt and black fingerprints all around the door handle and up the sides. Although I love CLE and it's quirky eateries and sights, I will no longer recommend ANYONE go there. Especially tourists....we don't need another mistake on the Lake reference.

Sweeties will always bring the kid out of me.. it's like walking down memory lane with all the candy from my childhood! Can't wait to return

Sweeties is a huge candy warehouse, but doesn't stop at candy. They have popcorn, ice cream and flavored sodas( with Putt Putt right next door). I really enjoyed my trip to sweeties, they had all the classics, snickers, nerds lollipops, candy I've never heard of, plus giant pickles and flavored popcorn. My favorite part was the sodas, I walked away with about 10 different flavors, from root beers, lemonade and cherry limeade. If your in the area or is definitely worth it!

Oh my gosh... this place is disgusting. The doors look like they have never been wiped, ever. The coffee ice cream was the worst we've ever had. The swings on the inside are cute.

Stopped here, with a friend, to get some ice cream. It was a little confusing when we walked in because we weren't sure if we should order first or sit at a table and wait for someone to bring menus. I asked the person cleaning tables what we should do. Turns out one orders at the counter, where the cash register is located. Then, after the order is paid for, the customer is given a number to take to their table. Staff members bring the ice cream to the tables. The ice cream is delicious. It's also a good value for the size of the sundaes. The ice cream was fresh and tasted delicious. The toppings were good too. There was a very good balance between the toppings and ice cream. I'm glad we stopped here for sundaes!

This is an attached soda shoppe to the big candy warehouse with innumerable flavors and a self-serve ice cream area with probably 30 toppings to choose from. They don't sell the serve your own by weight so it is one fixed price which is a win for folks like me who cram every atom possible in the given cups

This place is really cool. We found completely by accident on our road trip, heading back into Pennsylvania. This place is loaded with candy and has just about every piece of candy. Whatever you think they have they have. Prices are very reasonable and they even have an ice cream shop where they have a soft serve ice cream small for $4.25 and you can load it up with toppings by yourself. Customer service is very friendly and very helpful. We were even given a menu at the ice cream shop because we were a little confused on how the menu worked.

Sweeties have all the throwbacks of candies from yours, your parents and your grandparents time! Lots of childhood memories can be found in the isles and countertops!!
