“First came 40 years ago. This place is still magic. Brought my kids this week. They fell in love with the caramel pecan turtles too.
Kid-friendliness: Kids love this place. Cmon, it’s a candy factory. They love to look thru every glass display”
“First timers to Helen. Very impressed with the baked goods and the service. When in town stop by and ask for the sampler.
Parking: Parking is very accessible during week days. There is a lot behind the shop.”
“Our large party came for extra dessert after a wedding. She made sure to greet everyone and make my kids feel special. You have to try the freeze dried Skittles and ice cream. We even found our pups cookies to bring home!”
“We found a true gem! A local told us to check it out and I am so grateful we took her advice. We almost missed it and let me tell you, this is a MUST SEE!!! It is the oldest store in GA!
Built in the 1800’s with its original storefront (signs and all). Walk inside and continue your step back in time with antique cash register, pharmacy bar, crank telephone, etc. The ambiance is sure to delight your spirit. They even have nostalgic penny candy and it brought me back to my childhood.
If Bill is there, he’s likely telling old stories, entertaining shoppers as he pours them tastes of various ciders. My two favorites were the Muscadine and the black cherry. YUM!!! My mom loved the peach.
Back in the day, the original owners sold the place to a couple from Norway so the middle of the store has an entire section of Scandinavian delicacies.
The entire staff was as delightful as the rest of the store. If Linda is there, say hello and tell her how beautiful she is. She is the sweetest soul!
To sum it up, I will forever hold a special place in my heart from my visit to this treasure. Hope you check it out!”
