Curing a maddening craving for sweets is pretty easy, especially when you live in the Pittsburgh area. After all, we have easy access to an assortment of candy shops – from the old-fashioned Grandpa Joe’s to Pink House Chocolates that dates back a century. Next time you’re in the Monroeville-area, head over to SpectroDolce Confectionery, a candy shop near Pittsburgh that features a scrumptious assortment of goodies and a friendly, welcoming staff you’ll want to meet.
Tucked off of William Penn Highway in Monroeville, SpectroDolce Confectionery sets itself apart from the competition with its wide assortment of candy and its mission. The candy shop…
Predominately employs adults with autism, each of whom receives training, support, and valuable work experience, helping them prepare for whatever career path they’ve chosen.
SpectroDolce, in fact, is helping to chip away at the huge unemployment rate – 85 percent, according to Market Watch - among those adults with autism. (The national unemployment rate for those without autism is, as of fall 2019, less than four percent.)
Ice cream’s just about the perfect treat, no matter the season, right? Before or after you’ve browsed the candy, treat yourself to a scrumptious ice cream treat. SpectroDolce scoops up…
Classic ice cream cones and dishes of ice. If you’re really hungry, try the real Belgian waffle, topped with fruit or ice cream (or both). You can also just order the waffle.
Sometimes a milkshake just hits the spot. The charming candy shop scoops up the classic chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, topped with whipped cream, milkshakes as well as an assortment of specialty flavors.
While the ice cream will certainly tantalize your taste buds, save time to explore the large assortment of candy – gourmet fudge, chocolate-dipped goodies, and truffles.
Not really a chocoholic? SpectroDolce’s got you covered with its gummies or popcorn. You can also surprise friends and loved ones with a gift basket brimming with an assortment of delicious candy.
Indulge in delicious treats at SpectroDolce Confectionery, open Tuesday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
