Beerntsen's Confectionary Inc

A truly wonderful "blast from the past"! The hands on, on premise making, of most of the offerings, makes this a rare gem find. The ice cream shop is almost entirely original from the early 1900's. The candies, ice cream, toppings...are what will keep you returning to living museum. All treats, no tricks:)

Fun candy shop with a huge selection! If you are in the area, make sure you stop in and get something sweet.

We came here because it was featured in our Road Food Book. It did not disappoint. I had a hot fudge sundae and my husband had a latte that came with one of the cookies made here. We were both very happy with our choices. The building was delightful. I also bought a package of the cookies and a couple chocolate's to take with us. We will stop here again when visiting the area.

The Reuben and Cuban sandwiches listed as summer specials were delicious as was the Boston Nut sundae. We also purchased vanilla caramels which did not disappoint. The staff was friendly, service good, food delicious, and atmosphere delightful. The vintage, preserved dark wood booths and accents were beautiful.

What a cool place! Great prices on a nice lunch, friendly staff, and great treats for after. We didn't get any icecream but will be back again to try it out. If you eat here take the time to read the little newspaper thing they give you on the history of the business it very interesting. Worth a stop if your in the area!!

Yummy sandwich, great sundae, and we picked up some fun candy. All of this in a historic old time atmosphere.

We've been coming to Beerntsen's in Manitowoc for decades and now we are lucky to live nearby so we can keep trying new treats. The employees are friendly and attentive and the place is nostalgic and historic, with gorgeous woodwork. We're looking forward to continuing to enjoy all that Beerntsen's has to offer.

I love going to this confectionary! They have the best chocolate. My personal favorite is the chocolate covered Oreos.

They also have a nice eating area that serves soups, sandwiches, and salads. The atmosphere is that if an old candy store. Woodwork is beautiful!

Fresh cedar crest ice cream available as well!

What a wonderful place this is!

One of the oldest candy shops in Wisconsin (1932), this place makes much of their delicious candy in-house.

Fantastic chocolates in unique shapes and flavors, along with many different types of candies and ice cream.

If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in. You won't regret it.

We'll be back the next time we're in the area.

I really enjoyed my visit here. The truffles that I bought were so good. Many cute chocolate shapes to choose from. The young lady that helped me was super friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend a visit to this cute little shop.

Talk about a throw back to the future, lol. Picture a soda/ice cream shop from the 1950's , this is the place. Over a dozen sundaes and shakes/malt. Plus hot food too. Usual fast food, burgers, hot dogs, etc. Add in a chocolate addiction for the person who craves dark & light. My wife! I don't complain, because I love it when she shares. Can't imagine leaving without a cone to go or a bag of brittle . Have fun.

Grown Up Grilled Cheese, so very good! Tomato Bisque- I'm not a fan of blue cheese, but the blend was perfect with the garlic & tomato! Raspberry Lemonade for me and a Macchiato with complimentary cookie for him. Add a Turtle Sundae- yes, please! Everything was very yummy! On the way out, we picked up some Sour Cherries & some Cinnamon Bears. Glad we stopped in!

Beautiful historic shop with delicious sandwiches, ice cream, and of course, chocolate! Perfect place to get a bite to eat after riding the car ferry from Ludington.

Great old school candy shop with a wide selection of chocolatees, treats and what we came in for, ice cream! Wouldn't hesitate to come again

How many places can you visit now a days and know your parents AND grandparents shared the same wonderful experience as you? Beerntsen's hasn't changed a bit and I don't know if I love it more for its historic longevity or the delicious ice cream. I've been a faithful devotee to the Hog N Dog for as long as I can remember! Their lunch options are really tasty too.

It's a chocolate shop and it has wonderful chocolate candies. The store is old and looks great. Like an old-fashioned soda pop store. Definitely would recommend this shop!

Great ice cream and friendly service here. I just dropped in on a whim and was super surprised that the place had Blue Moon flavor. I got it very quickly and it was delicious + exactly what I needed. Highly recommend stopping here!

Quality traditional confections and delicious treats. They offer an amazing must-visit store or shop online. It's a traditional drive from Madison and a great day trip.

I am new to Beerntsen's. I didn't grow up in the area but people I know that did recommend this place a lot. So after trying it I can see why. All the confectionaries are magnificent. I love the choice of milk or dark chocolate for just about everything which gives me an excuse to buy two of everything. Their turtles are amazing. Their fudge is great. And this location has a little ice cream bar and they go heavy on the chocolate in their flavors. It's really worth a visit if you're in the area.

We stopped for ice cream and wished we could have stayed for the atmosphere and food..
