“I sent an email very early one morning as I desperately needed chocolate covered strawberries the same day for girls' night. I honestly did not expect a response. It was a long shot. It was an email sent right before the Labor Day weekend. A lovely lady named Kim replied promptly and had my order ready within a few short hours. Couldn't have been more grateful! I am a big supporter of local small businesses and I always want to spend my hard earned dollars at places where my business is appreciated. Thanks so much to Kim for taking care of my order!! My friends absolutely loved their chocolate covered strawberries, and we will certainly be back!”

“Holsten’s, famous for its delicious homemade ice cream and being in The Sopranos, has been serving the community since 1939.My cheeseburger deluxe was perfectly cooked to order with a great flame broiled flavor. Equally as good were the slightly crunchy krinkle fries. A typical luncheonette style menu offering a nice variety of sandwiches and burgers. The homemade mint chip ice cream was creamy and minty. Homemade whipped cream topped it off.On this first time visit to this iconic luncheonette, I sat at the counter and had one of the best service experiences one can have. Julia was attentive, engaging, pleasant, sweet and polite. It was a true service with a smile type visit. She provided an outstanding service experience.When you cross the threshold of Holsten’s Ice Cream Parlor, you might feel as though you stumbled upon a time machine that whisked you back to the 1950s. Old wooden and Glass candy display cases, cozy red vinyl booths, and ice cream counter complete with old-fashioned barstools, Holsten’s magically transports you to the quaint and convivial atmosphere of an era long forgotten. It’s like taking a step back in time.This is a must visit for not only Soprano fans but for EVERYONE!Just a short 5 minute ride off the GSP exit 151Kid-friendliness: Kids Menu as well as Candies”

“We used the Rockin Candy Truck for our daughter's 9th birthday, and I cannot tell you how much of a hit it was!The owners were both very responsive, and extremely helpful in securing the date, and details.The day of the party, the owner Ray, was early and set up so quickly knowing how excited the kids were.He was SOO patient with all the girls choosing their candy off the "Wall of Candy". Never once did he rush them, or pressure them in choosing. He didn't rush them off the bus, but rather welcomed them to hang out on the truck, and play Switch outside! The girls had the BEST time!Honestly, it was money well spent! I would HIGHLY recommend!”

“This is the best toffee you will ever be lucky enough to taste. I bought more at the Hackettstown Oktoberfest yesterday and it’s just perfect!! My favorites are the coconut almond and the cinnamon but they are all divine!! I never buy much because I just devour it, so try to limit myself!! Try it yourself and you will never buy any other toffee!! It’s just that good!!”

“I loved this candy store. My friend told me to buy my Piñata in Dulcelandia. It was totally worth the trip. Their piñatas are so much fun. The store has so much variety and the customer service is excellent. My friend recommended Dulcelandia to buy a Piñata. It was a good buy. We had the most fun. The Piñata is very good quality. They have a wide variety of sweets. Those who serve are very friendly and attentive. They have a customer forever. 100% recommendable.”

“I have been to a few of these stores but this one is the best that I have been in. It's a kids paradise!!! But for us older guys it's fun as well. It takes you down memory lane. There are candies that I haven't seen or had in 40 but years or more. It's two floors of fun.Let's not forget the great staff here. No business could be successful without a good staff and this store has one.”

“This place has NOT closed and is open for business. Moreover, the owner is one of the nicest and most polite persons I have encountered lately. He is quite helpful and more than willing to special order anything he doesn't have in stock. It is truly a pleasure spending my money at this establishment where my business is genuinely appreciated! (I am not from San Fransico, CA as stated in my profile). NJ here.”

“We walked upon this store before they were officially opened and they welcomed us like we were family. We have been back since and the treatment continues to maintain. My child proclaims these the best crepes in the world and this child knows crepes. Highly recommend supporting them when you have a sweet tooth.”

“The staff is super friendly and their prices are reasonable. I ordered chocolate covered strawberries and they asked when I was picking them up so they can make them as close to pickup as possible for maximum freshness. They also have a great selection of other chocolate and fudge.”

“I work remote and my boss from the west found this place to deliver bonbons as a small Christmas present in 2022. The box was wrapped beautifully and the chocolate itself was great. Each flavor was unique to its own and did not disappoint. Hoping to go back some day and try other items.”

“It's a nice throw-back to the "sweet shops" that were fairly common back when I was a kid, and...for all intents and purposes...don't really exist anymore. Every few weeks, I bring my birth mother to the laundromat a few doors down to do her laundry (which is considered an "essential service" in this age of Covid-19), and I usually stop here to pick up a few items (I guess the sweet shop is considered an "essential service" too). It's old-- you can see that walking in. In fact, my birth mother grew up in the area, and her late father...my grandfather...bought tobacco here. And her brother...my uncle...got one of his first jobs here. He was in his early teens, and he's in his early 70s now, so...that gives some indication of just how long this place has been in business (I'm sure the ownership has changed hands since then, of course).Towards the back is a sit down area that...if I'm not mistaken...was once a soda fountain. I wish it still existed as a soda fountain. Would love to have an old fashioned "black and white" soda, or something comparable. Some of my early positive memories concern the Preakness Luncheonette, which was Wayne's version of the "sweet shop." I can remember my father bringing me there for a lemon coke, which seemed very exotic at the time. They sold magazines, newspapers, candy, ice cream, cigarettes, hamburgers, etc.(On a side note, while I'm wandering down Memory Lane...as an adolescent, I became friendly with 2 cousins from Yonkers...Tommy and Ricky...who had contests with each other to see who could shoplift the most items. The Preakness Luncheonette was one of their targets, and Tommy asked me one time, as I sat outside as a spectator, "Ed, can I get you anything?" "How about a Creepy magazine?" He came back with 5 issues of Creepy magazine, plus several other items, easily winning the contest with his cousin. That incident lit a light bulb in my head: "Wow, this looks almost too easy! Who needs money? I don't have to deliver any more newspapers!" I began my "criminal career" as a shoplifter at the Luncheonette, stealing horror comics and "girlie" magazines...the hormones were starting to kick in...and moving on to books, records, toys, items I didn't really need, even a wall poster that I concealed in my pants leg. My "career" as a budding Dillinger ended when a guy at another store stopped me, lifted up my shirt. Some 6th sense had made me toss back the magazine I had been ready to shoplift before he stopped me. Not finding any contraband, he growled, "Get the f*ck out of my store." The thought of my father...a nice guy but fearsome when he was pissed...finding out terrified me more than the thought of jail did, and "scared me straight." But I would like to take this opportunity to apologize these many decades later to the owners of the Preakness Luncheonette, who seemed like regular people trying to run a small business. Which has been "out of business" for decades. My sincere apologies for any part I might have played in that.)The Manor does have a magazine section, but I've outgrown "girlie" magazines (although I still have a weakness for horror comics), and have no temptation to resort back to my childhood thievery. At the front counter, I buy 2 coffees. One large black, with lots of sugar, for my birth mother. One small black, for me, no sugar. To make up for the no sugar in the coffee, I also buy Italian honey candy, coconut chocolate, and a "Chunky." (This is what I guess I consider "recompense" for my good deed of helping out with the laundry.) You can buy Lotto tickets here, soda or sports drinks, cigarettes, as well as some canned items.Surprisingly, I've been able to buy paper towels and tissue paper here when those items have been in short supply elsewhere. The proprietors seem to be going out of their way t”

“Great local chocolate and sweet speciality shop. The staff are kind and courteous. They have a good selection of chocolate, caramels, chocolate covered cherries, etc. and will wrap your box if you request it.My only negative thought is that the staff do a lot of socializing... not between themselves but with customers which can aid to the wait time.Parking: Lots of free street parking on Ridge Rd. and the nearby side streets.”

“STAY AWAY if you are a candy addict this place is highly addictive!!! lol. Some of the best chocolate I have ever tasted. My chocolate covered pretzel, peanut butter cup, marshmallow covered chocolate were all amazing. Great service from the smile of the employee to the smell when you first walk in. It's worth rehab. LOL.”

“Absolutely love the Panda Licorice. The perfect "treat" sweet for me as I'm a diabetic. It's so hard to find candy without a lot of extras in the way of chemicals. Please keep up the good work. Looking forward to enjoying my next bag.”

“The owner is a family man who lives in town. He gave good service and was personable. Some people gave this business a bad wrap, but I feel like it may be because of the language barrier. We will be returning again!”

“This was my first time coming to this store. It was a spare of the moment type of thing. I got 4 assorted truffles for my friend and I to try and we enjoyed every last one of them. It was a bit pricey for just four but so worth it.”
