Sweet Time Travel

Wilton Candy Kitchen
Wilton, IA

lime soda with sprinkles and a cherry

backroom stuffed with cool memorabilia
old-fashioned wi-fi


Recently unearthed these pics and remembered we hit this place on the way back from Flav's Fried Chicken.  Wilton Candy Kitchen is an awesome flashback to the era where the soda fountain was the place to be (that's how it seems in the movies but it's a bit before my time so I couldn't actually say).  Painstakingly preserved, it's been around since 1860 and run by the same family since 1910.  Go while you can... the current owners told me none of their children want to take over running the place.
