"A candy store has occupied this building continuously since 1863. The current proprietors, the Berley brothers—who also own the Franklin Fountain ice cream parlor a few doors away on Market Street—are master confectioners. Even for those among us who don't like candy (is that even possible?), a visitto the store is worthwhile simply to see its charming Victorian interior. Coming here is like stepping back in time, and you'll feel as thrilled asa kidto peer into the vintage glass-topped cabinets full of chocolates and other sweets. Keep an eye outfor the Whirly Berley Bars (chocolate nougat with salted chocolate caramel), and be sure to check out the seasonal creations, like the pumpkin-spice buttercreams."
