the olympia candy kitchen in goshen, indiana

my dad grew up in goshen.

he hung out at the olympia.

he took me there as a little girl.

he and i took emily there as a baby.

there is an old-fashioned soda fountain

and a super-tall pressed-tin ceiling.

it is like stepping back in time.

you can order a vanilla phosphate {my favorite}

and a toasted peanut butter sandwich.

{or a toasted nut olive sandwich... not sure about that one.}

take a look at their menu here.

whenever we would visit

grandma grace & grandpa weldon,

we would stop by the olympia for a box of

hand-dipped chocolate maple creams.

{the chocolate is swirled into an M on the top.}

you can still order them here.
