Four of Our Favorite Sweet Spots

Pop’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream: Sometimes all you really want is ice cream, and when the craving strikes in Old Town, you’re in luck! Pop’s has been in the ice cream business since the 1940’s – and it shows. Every flavor is rich, creamy, and sinfully sweet (in a very good way). Try one of their sundaes for a shareable treat you won’t soon forget!

Dolci Gelati: For those of you who love everything cold and sweet or just prefer the soft, mousse-like texture of gelato, Dolci Gelati will become your new go-to spot. They offer a variety of seasonal flavors as well as classics like chocolate and pistachio and serve yummy locally roasted coffee as well.

Kilwin’s: The perfectly balanced flavors of Kilwin’s sweets have been perfected since the shop was established in 1947. They’re well known for their sea salt caramels, toffee, and brittles, but you also can’t go wrong with one of their fresh caramel apples or a slice of fudge.

Fleurir Chocolates: The handmade artisan chocolates from Fleurir are sweet treats that are just as beautiful as they are delicious. In addition to the exquisite truffles, there are also have heavenly pate de fruits, toffees in four different flavors, and melt-in-your-mouth marshmallows.
