Putnam Pantry Candies, Ice Creams & Cafe

Was told by a worker at Rebecca Nurse's House that this was the place to check out. Boy were we glad she told us. Beautiful outside and delicious inside. The sandwich was delicious, the broccoli salad was great add a pickle and it's lunch. All the candies are excellent at tempting my friend and I. We fell into temptation, chocolate and so much more!! Ice cream was available also but I got full on lunch .

Putnam Pantry in Danvers, Massachusetts, has been a North Shore favorite since 1951. This classic candy shop and ice cream parlor is best known for its legendary Make-Your-Own-Sundae bar—overflowing with toppings, sauces, and whipped cream. Generations of families have made it a go-to stop for homemade chocolates, fudge, and old-school penny candy. Still family-run, Putnam Pantry blends sweet nostalgia with tradition. Located right on Route 1, it’s a must-visit for anyone with a soft spot for New England treats—and a perfect excuse for a roadside detour.

Great little gem. Fun " smorgasbord " ice cream topping bar for ice cream. Everything homemade ( fudges, whipped cream, marshmallow topping, caramel cherry sauce)... Regular hot fudge was soo yummy. Great sandwiches and sides also. Nice little stop for homemade chocolates along w a bites to eat. Don't forget the ice cream smorgasbord ! 👌👍

It's so fun to go! Automatically takes u back to being a kid again, so many things to look at, and the candy is so beautifully wrapped. Candy of all kinds. There are so many yummy treats for everyone's taste buds! I, dear, u to go there and try walking out empty handed🤣 I bet u won't!

Ice cream was watery. Flavor was meh, it had ice chips in it. Brownie was okay. Nice patio area. 3/5.
