Editorial Review

Eric and Ryan Berley, the brotherly duo behind the equally-iconic Franklin Fountain, reopen a Philadelphia candy institution, the 148-year-old Shane family sweets' shop. Rocking all things retro, from the original candy-making equipment and old-school techniques, to even, period-appropriate uniforms (bow ties and handlebar mustaches included), the vintage confection space is truly a glorified step back in time—to 1863, to be exact. Siblings perform candy-making demos on-site, producing the majority of the sugary inventory from scratch (20 percent are sourced elsewhere). Expect house-made chocolates and marshmallows, gumdrops and clear toy candy, and so much more.
