I loved this shop! I read a review that the proprietor was not friendly...I found the opposite to be true. She was helpful but did not hover. She answered questions and was very pleasant. The prices were relatively high but her displays and selection of Easter candies were amazing. I was able to choose a few pieces from every bin to make a nice assortment. I didn't have to go to a chain store and buy 15 bags of candy to assemble an assortment and most of the items aren't even found at the big box stores mentioned by another reviewer. Thank goodness there are still people willing to create beauty and aesthetically pleasing spaces for shopping. It would be a sad day if our only choices were big box stores. I recommend this store for its beauty and its delicious candies.

I live in Rehoboth & had a few friends from out of town meet me at Lefty’s for dinner & games & it was great! Between us we had 4 adults & 3 children under age 4. We requested a table for dinner & had a wait of about 45 mins (perfect amount of time for the kids to run around & play in the arcade). Had an incredible meal (all adults & kids satisfied & happy) & the manager Pete was so sweet & helpful! Definitely recommend & will continue to be our go-to spot!
