This charming destination was actually the second-ever location opened up by Albert “Mike” Malley.

According to local legend, the police had to be called in to control the crowds on opening night.

Their old-fashioned soda fountain is only large enough to cater to about 100 customers at a time, so it is not hard to imagine eager Clevelanders flooding the sweet shop on its opening night.
Today, their old-fashioned soda fountain is as magical as ever.

The dreamy ambiance is accented by the flavors of their mouthwatering ice creams and Famous Fudge Sauce.

So whether you’re craving a Cleveland classic like assorted chocolates…
