Sweet Moses Soda Fountain and Treat Shop

Nestled in between the galleries and boutiques at Gordon Square, Sweet Moses is a new treat bar. On a Saturday night after an opening at Wall Eye Gallery, the place was hopping. There was quite a wait in line and the place was packed with people until they closed.

They recently opened on March 26. Getting ice cream there is quite an experience: it's pricey, but the sundaes are artistic and beautiful. They're even served with a pretzel, and we were given popcorn at our table. And yay, local business!

The minuses, though:
- Took too darn long.
- Too darn expensive.

Here's a link to their menu.

Popcorn Shop - Chagrin Falls

The main tourist attraction in Chagrin Falls is the Popcorn Shop. Originally built as a retail showcase for a flourmill on the falls, the Popcorn Shop began selling ice cream and treats in the 40s. Stepping inside the building, it doesn't feel like much time has passed since then.

The Popcorn Shop experienced some drama in 2001 when a van lost control of the brakes coming down the hill and slammed into the building, nearly pushing it into the river.

Go here to buy ice cream, local coffee, gift baskets, souvenirs, and of course, tins of popcorn.

 While you're in the area, you should eat at Rain Tree restaurant. It's a favorite.
