The Whole Family Will Love A Trip To Gumdrops And Lollipops, A Delightful Candy Store In Connecticut

One destination the entire family is sure to love is a candy store in Connecticut. No matter what type of sugary treats you prefer, it's tough to not feel like, well, a kid in a candy store, as you walk through the aisles. Seeing the variety of indulgences on display can be almost overwhelming. That's doubly true for Gumdrops and Lollipops, an old-fashioned candy store that is also an ice cream parlor. This place will be a real treat for even the grumpiest of curmudgeons in your family!

Gumdrops and Lollipops feels so old-fashioned, but it's actually relatively new, having opened up in 2008.

There's a small indoor dining area where you can enjoy your treats, though it's so close to Niantic's boardwalk that the temptation to enjoy a cone on the beach is strong!

You can pick up some delicious homemade hard ice cream here, with a wide variety of flavors.

Some have adorable names inspired by local landmarks: you won't want to miss Niantic Traintracks or Minty McCooks!

If your sweet tooth isn't sated by the ice cream, don't worry: there's plenty of candy available too!

The glass jars of candy lining the walls are so nostalgic!

Pies are available around the holiday season, and you can find other goodies like cupcakes on occasion throughout the year.

This is one of our favorite candy shops in Connecticut: there's nothing better than enjoying ice cream or candy on a seaside stroll!

You can find out more information about Gumdrops and Lollipops on the store's website.
