Beerntsen's Confectionary Inc

Awesome chocolate and ice cream. Great chocolate taste and nice choice. It was great to see a store which is open from 1932 and the chocolates had some nice flavors. Allie helped me select the right variety of chocolates.

Transport yourself back to a simpler time and visit Beerntsen’s in Manitowoc. It was originally founded in 1932 by Joseph Beernsten and remain a family owned business until 2003. The new owners, Dean Schadrie and his family have a background in making chocolate and stated that they would keep it the exact same. I had not been here since I was probably in my early teens and 30 years later it was everything I remembered growing up. I was even able to get the same sundae, the Teddy Bear, that I got as a child, and it was EXACTLY as I had remembered. Even the menu was the same! They have 32 different sundae options for you to choose from. They also have a small lunch menu. Afterwards I had to get some chocolates and taffy. It was a wonderful experience and walk down memory lane. For more

This shop is a step back in time. The beautifully cared for booths, mirrors, candy cases and tiles are a treasure. The many varieties of treats brought joy to everyone in our group. The hardest part was deciding what to pick. We will definitely have this on our repeat list when we visit the area again.

We stopped to get ice cream and decided to have lunch too and it was fantastic! The menu had grill cheese sandwiches with many cheeses and meats to pick from. Their tomato bisque was the perfect pairing with a grilled cheese!!! The bread was phenomenal! The entire inside had wooden counters, display cabinets, benches, arches from years and years ago. It was beautiful. We had a scoop of apple pie ice cream ❤️. We will definitely be back!!!

Wife's favorite place in town when we come here. Excellent candy choice and limited food if you want it. Always a homey feeling to it. Quaint. Bought the angel food chocolate and some fudge.
