Crown Candy Kitchen

Curbside available only. Call (314) 621-9650 to place your order.

This nearly century-old north-side landmark serves up a mean BLT and makes some of the sweetest candy in the city, but now that summer is here, it's the ice cream we're interested in. The scoops of rich (14 percent butterfat!) ice cream can be ordered in malt, sundae, newport (a sundae with whipped cream and nuts) and banana split form, or just go with a single scoop. Favorite flavors include Ozark black walnut and black cherry. There's also the legendary milkshake -- if you can drink five in half an hour, they're all free. But more than the treats, it's the retro atmosphere and old-timey feel that will put a smile on your face.

Best Antique Store
Empoirum St. Louis Antiques
9410 Manchester Road, Rock Hill; emporiumstlouis.com
READERS' CHOICE SPOTLIGHT 
Emporium St. Louis may be known for its neon-pink and black facade, but that color scheme is only part of its vibrancy. Beloved as one of the area’s oldest antique and vintage stores, this Rock Hill gem overflows with everything from ornate, old world furniture to cottagecore tchotchkes that, though once out of date, find new lives as their aesthetics come back in style. With an ever-changing inventory, helpful staff and an eBay store that allows you to treasure hunt from the comfort of your own home, emporium brings the joy of the search to you no matter how you prefer to shop. Though really, it’s hard to beat the thrill of sifting through its wares on site; you never know what this wonderful shop has in store until you start looking.
