Penny Annie's Sweet Shoppe 845 Massachusetts St.
Penny Annie's makes anyone feel like the quintessential "kid in the candy store." The décor has 1950s memorabilia with oldies music playing in the background. The sweet selections send sugar lovers into saccharine heaven but are balanced with more filling options such as sandwiches and salads.
Date-worthiness: Yes! This would be an original idea for an afternoon date. Instead of grabbing a cup of coffee, why not grab a bag of candy?
Price range: Get an assortment of candy for about $1.50 a quarter-pound or try the sandwiches, salads and other non-sweet alternatives range from about $3 to $5. Flavored popcorn is $6.50 a gallon and a fresh made drink costs about $1.
Food type: The shop prides itself on many fresh and homemade items such as their fudge, shakes and malts, lineades and soda floats. Becky Bowers, co-owner of the store, is especially proud of their popcorn, which is made the old-fashioned way with homemade caramel and cinnamon. You can also pick from a menu of non-sugary munchies such as a BLT sandwich, salads or enchiladas.
Booze availability; None, but you can still get a sugar buzz from all of the sweets.
Attire requirements: Casual. A truffle may sound fancy but you don't need to be dressed up to eat one.
Easter Eatings: Bowers says the store is very popular for Easter candy shopping, so stop by and check out the chocolates and other candies for the holiday.
