SweetSpot - Barrington, Illinois
Today I am sharing a local business in Barrington, Illinois I often take my kids to over the summer to spend some carefree time and to purchase old fashioned ice cream treats. The shop is nostalgic, inviting, and feels cozy as the staff are kind and welcoming.
The SweetSpot is an old fashioned candy store and ice cream parlor and a favorite ice cream shop of mine. Stepping foot into the shop the first time a few years ago flooded my mind with fond childhood memories and provided an opportunity for me to share some of my childhood stories with my kids.

This is a fantastic place to visit during the spring, summer, and early fall (aka warmer months). The store is across the street from Barrington High school and stays open later when there is a football game or special event at the high school.
So, if you are visiting Barrington High school or are around that area the SweetSpot is a must stop during the summer.
The shop is designed as a classic sweet shop offering old time favorite candies and an old fashion ice cream parlor.
The shop offers a variety of candies, snacks, and munchies. Inside the store is an old fashioned ice cream parlor offering malts, sundaes, banana splits, milk shakes, ice cream cones, and scoops of ice cream.
