There is nothing better on a warm Kentucky day than an icy, sweet treat from a family-owned shop. The neighborhood sweet shop used to be where the entire town gathered, where everyone knew your name, and where just the scent of sugary confections would draw you inside. This nostalgic experience still exists throughout Kentucky and one of the places you can find it is at the historic Schneider’s Sweet Shop in Bellevue. This corner gathering spot has every treat your heart desires and it also happens to have the best shaved ice in Kentucky.
Schneider's Sweet Shop was founded in 1939 by the Schneider family in the river town of Bellevue.
If you thought Willy Wonka and his chocolate factory were purely fictional, then you have yet to visit this family-owned sweet shop. Not only does it smell heavenly, but it is packed with a wide variety of sweet treats, from homemade candies to ice cream to their famous ice balls.
If you do become a fan of Schneider's candies (and you definitely will), you can have them shipped to you or to someone else as a gift. The customer service at Schneider's is as reliable as their sweet treats and they aim to please both your taste buds and your expectations.
In addition to the variety of candies, Schneider's offers a unique treat: Ice Balls.
A scoop of the sweetly-flavored ice is placed atop the ice cream, and every bite is just as delicious as it looks. Grab some extra napkins and a seat on their patio, and take your time with this one-of-a-kind specialty.
