“ The food is excellent. The service is efficient and excellent. The Ambiance is pleasant and inviting. I highly recommend this place. ”
“ Such a cute place and so full of history! If you get a chance to watch a candy making demonstration, definitely stay for that! The owners take part in the demonstration and do such a wonderful job. The candy was delicious and even sweeter when you see it made right in front of you. Highly recommend!! ”
“ We walked over via the Big 4 Bridge this morning and headed to Schimpff's for lunch. Our party of 6 each ordered a different menu item and were content. I had a turkey on toasted rye with lettuce and mustard with a cup of vegetable soup. It was a basic lunch, fairly straightforward, and simple. Prices were affordable. Others in my group tried chili, BLT, pecan pie, and cherry cola and were satisfied. Service at the counter was pleasant. The business is quaint and cozy with antiques and classic advertising displays. ”
“ I got recommended here from the steam boat museum, and I'm so glad I visited. The museum is free btw, and there's a ton of fun, weird and interesting trinkets. I ended up getting chocolate covered peanuts and dark chocolate covered espresso beans to take home from a work trip. If you need sugar free, they had quite a few good options there as well. The chocolate covered peanuts were perfect! ”
“ You can get candy almost anywhere today. Waiting in line at the checkout, the vending machine down the hall, ordered online. But Schimpff's is something more. You can visit just to buy amazing confectionaries, sure. But you're also getting to experience 133 years (as of this writing) of history as this local family continues its candy-making tradition. Part candy store, part museum, part soda fountain and ice cream bar, it all adds up to an experience that you're hard-pressed to find elsewhere. We spent time looking over the items from decades past as well as the amazing selections of sweets, finally settling on some chocolate covered caramels with sea salt for the day. Then we visited the ice cream bar and ordered a basic hot fudge sundae. I took one bite and could taste the difference. It had been so long since i had had genuine vanilla ice cream that the flavor burst through immediately. It was excellent! ”
“ Delicious chocolates and their cinnamon hots are the best. We stop in every time we visit Jeffersonville. They close at 6PM. They have a light sinple lunch menu,too. ”
“ An amazing candy store that has been around for generations in downtown Jeffersonville. There is public parking right near the store which had plenty of free parking available. The store itself has lots of candies and chocolates made right there ! A fantastic museum room with excellent curated vintage candy displays . Also a small hot lunch area that closed at 3pm but looked like it would have been tasty. Definitely a place not to be missed if you are in the area . ”
“ What a cool shop! I love the history and the style inside. Add to that friendly staff and delectable chocolates and you have something really special! My son was so excited about the fact that they had candy corn. Definitely make sure you stop by! ”
“ Very first time to this location for candy. Took several family members here. Quite educational and great tutorial on candy ( hot cinnamon drops ) making. The store is rich with very early vintage setting, yet some more small modern additions. The feel of the comfort and laid back style back in its inaugural years; you get this feeling of composure, home town feel The variety of candy's is nothing short of spectacular. Found some old candies still being produced ( bit o honey ) that one just has to buy. The other side of store is not only candies but a ole fountain experience from beverage's to sandwiches; a long forgotten trait in our present fast pace world. The building has many original structure; the original tin ceiling. If in the area; this should be a have to stop in place. Staff is phenomenal! ”
