Skippack Sweet Spot

Great little store and the woman who helped us was so sweet and made us want to buy everything! The gelato and sorbetto was amazing. Try the lemon sorbetto!

Exploring the area during the winter wine fest, we came across Miss Riddle’s. The selection of various candies offered was pretty amazing. They also offer coffee and ice cream. This place is certainly your stop to fill a particularly difficult to find craving. The prices might be a bit on the high side, but something has to cover the expenses of the selection. Living in the city, this place won’t make my usual visit list, but I could see stopping by for something unique while out in the ‘burbs.

Quaint little candy shop with all the old fashioned candies of yesterday, novelty candies of today, eccentric treats such as chocolate covered bacon and gourmet chocolate. You can also get a wide variety of gummy candies including gummy chicken feet, a «local favorite» (well at least a favorite of the sweet and enthusiastic young lady serving us. They also have a nice selection of gelato. I great little spot for a treat after a dinner date, or for the kids on an afternoon or evening. They even have a few video games on hand and a nice porch for sitting on a cool summer evening.

Love this local stop! It’s a delightful little treat in the heart of Skippack; been frequenting since they opened the doors. We were ecstatic they decided to add Capogiro gelato to their lineup of sweets. Now a short walk saves us a trip downtown! On an average night they have about six flavors to choose from. Lots of decadent chocolates (a favorite being the dark chocolate salted caramels) in the case that are sure to please all the taste buds. We take all our out of town guests here.

There’s a number of things about Miss Riddle’s that put it in a class far above the Sweet Factory and the like. First, take note — they’re the only place I know outside of Center City where you can get hand dipped Capogiro gelato. If you don’t know what that is, then there’s a treat waiting for you… The gelato is a nice way to finish a restaurant meal in Skippack, or just if your passing through on a hot afternoon. As for the candy; I’m generally partial to the gummy and hard-​sugar candy — which they can oblige. However, Miss Riddle’s curated chocolate case always has something new and enticing to offer. They’ve also got the most interesting chocolate bars from «fancy-​pants» brands you’ve never heard of. They made me a very reasonably priced gift basket for my choc-​o-​phile grandmother, and there were no complaints.
They have a parking lot and, and, and — for the husband who’s been dragged to Skippack against his will on when there’s a perfectly good Phillies game on, you can hang out with Charlie and watch on the flat screen right in the store.
