Housemade chocolates & ice cream, plus bulk candy & gifts, offered in an upbeat atmosphere.

This place was recommended by my brother-in-law, and it turned out to be a wonderful surprise. They offer a wide variety of chocolates, including a sugar-free section, which was amazing for my family since some are insulin-sensitive and others are diabetic. I truly didn’t expect that, and it made a big difference because they were able to choose from several chocolate options that are usually very limited or unavailable elsewhere.
They also make their own ice cream on-site. I tried the cherry sorbet and absolutely loved it. There is a café area that is very clean and beautifully maintained, with a traditional, classic feel.
Additionally, they have a lower-level area filled with a large selection of merchandise. We ended up buying many different sweets, and overall it’s a lovely shop that I wasn’t expecting to find. I will definitely be coming back.
It’s an ideal place if you’re looking for a unique chocolate gift to bring to a friend or to a gathering.

A sweets lover’s paradise. They have a section for ice cream, I was able to enjoy a sugar free ice cream while my girlfriend took advantage of their many options. I appreciated the fact they had a sugar free option. In addition, they also had a section of chocolates made at the premises. Lots of options, but of course they also had a sugar free section. I loved the fact they had options for me to enjoy. Being diabetic, it is hard to enter a place like this and not be able to enjoy something good. I ordered several pieces of their sugar free milk chocolate almond bark. The store had several tables and chairs where you can enjoy your sweets. A very nice place. The staff was very helpful when it came to the sugar free options.

I love this place so much! It took me a few tries to figure out my favorites from the chocolate counter: peanut butter randies, fall meltaways, anything with “crunch” (hazelnut crunch, caramel crunch, peanut butter crunch).
Glad I got my fix before Christmas.

Take your sweetie to this sweet shop. When you walk in the door the sweet candy smell is pervasive. So many candies and homemade ice cream flavors. Many ice cream cone options. Looks like a local version of the wonderful Kilwin’s chain, but bigger, friendlier, and sweeter.

The ice cream was homemade and very delicious with many, many flavors to choose from. The chocolate shop looked amazing but we did not try any this time. Downstairs had quite a variety of bulk candy and we picked out a nice selection of jelly bean flavors.

I wish this spot more readily embraced special diets. They mark some items dairy free but you need to ask and find out about vegan options. Its like they living in the 90s and afraid to use that word.
The problem here is I am left anxious about if the cookie dough is really vegan or is the employee just try to appease
me and that’s frustrating.
That said once I ask enough I can get an employee to help guide me through what’s best and some options are good. Used to be icy but its gotten better quality. I would feel a lot better and thus enjoy the experience more if they could just label better!
Recommended if you have time and care to ask about it. Don’t expect premium vegan toppings. Just the basics. And that’s all most people want so that’s the most important thing to know.
— hey thanks for the owner response and updating my review to add an extra star. I am excited to hear that you are getting towards more progressive labeling!

I had the best experience EVER at an ice cream shop here at Deborah Ann’s. Hanna Z was super helpful and taught me everything we needed to know about fudge and helped me pick out our flavor. I will definitely be coming back and hopefully Hanna will be there!

No visit to Ridgefield is complete without a visit to Deborah Ann’s sweet shop … The home made truffles are phenomenal, the homemade ice cream is delicious, it’s so festive and fun inside, very clean, colorful, and the staff is helpful and friendly. They also carry unusual candies and old fashioned candy.

Homemade ice cream with homemade candy in beautiful Ridgefield!

Great place to go on a weekend afternoon to enjoy some good ice cream. They have several kinds of flavors, from the classics to exotics. The salted caramel is a must.
The place is also a chocolate / candy store with a variety of delicate sweets.
They offer the cup or cone options with small medium and large sizes.
There’s only a couple of places to sit inside and some tables and benches outside.
Service is good and fast.

Sweets on one side of the store, ice cream on the other! I have only had the ice cream, but it is delicious! There are a large number of flavors of hard ice cream, plus smaller selections of plant-based ice cream and frozen yogurt. There is also soft-serve. For the ice cream – the chocolates are chocolate-y, the nuts/chocolate chips/swirls, etc are generous, and the flavors aren’t subtle. If it says maple – it is distinctly maple-y. Very tasty. Not inexpensive, but a little goes a long way because it tastes so rich, so I typically get a kid size or a small. I have not had a bad flavor yet, but you can get a sample if you’re on the fence about which one to get.
The line can be long in the summer, but it moves fast, so don’t let that deter you.
My only complaint is that if you want to take your time looking over the flavors, it is hard because the full description of the flavors is only on the ice cream cases themselves. A minor inconvenience.
