The Adorable Zanzabelle: Candy, Ice Cream, Sodas and Gifts
If you are a sucker for a vintage board of Candy Land, or possibly day dream about clouds of pastel cotton candy, you will definitely want to visit Zanzabelle of Silver Lake for a strong dose of that sugary good vibe. The minute you see the life size giraffe sculpture in the picket fenced front lawn of this little gingerbread-esque house, your heart will skip a beat in anticipation for what lies inside.
Good for both kiddies and adults, this sweet shop/ice cream parlor/delightful little "fun house" serves up a wide variety of treats for every palate. If fruity and funky modern Japanese styles tickle your candy fantasies, there are wildy packaged treats like the incredible grape gummi cubes or the fizzy part-game/part soda popular with the fancy kids in the neighborhood. No nonsense nostalgic candy eaters will discover a jack pot of the classically cool US of A favorites. Nut Goodies, Charleston Chews and mini glass bottles of the real deal Dr. Pepper. Sophisticated, less junk-food-crazed buds, will find solace in the 8 flavors of Fosselman's Ice Cream and Sorbets available in cups and cones, or swirled into a decadent Root Beer Float, Chocolate Soda or Espresso-topped Vanilla blend (which, fyi, tastes sensational!!) The use of Danesi premium espresso makes a trip even more exciting for die hard caffeinaters and quality coffee beverage seekers.
Besides the absolutely perfect assortment of pleasurable sweets, Zanzabelle also hosts a highly enjoyable, colorful and interactive environment and, furthermore, offers the friendliest of customer service. This spot makes for a grand destination to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings or to purchase an unforgettably unique and deliciously fun gift for youngsters or oldsters. The store will help you create a gift basket if you'd like. I believe they even will host private parties, so make sure to inquire if you are at all interested.
