1904 General Store - Alton

Such a great store! I'm always in for a little pre-holiday shopping and this store takes it to the next level! The first thing that hits you i in this quaint little store is the sweetest smell of chocolate followed by ice cream flavors from the freezer and finally the warm scent of candles of all kinds. There are treats and decorations for all seasons and every taste bud! Magnets, hanging decorations, lights, gnomes for every season, personalized gifts and that's only on the 1st floor ! Once you've finished exploring all the fun decor it's time to get yourself a treat and if weather permits you can enjoy it on their outdoor patio! Then you can go back in, shop some more and grab some treats to go! This is a huge must if you're in the area and fancy an old time sweet treat !

The ice cream is delicious, top quality!I had shipwreck which is salted caramel and shaved almonds in vanilla ice cream. Almonds in every bite! The staff was very friendly and customer service was impressive. We were there during a busy festival day and everything was wonderful. Such a cute shop, just like an old time confectionary.

You can buy jellybeans and taffy by the pound here. Also, ice cream.

Delicious treats and wonderfully unique household gifts and things
