About This Venue
Freese's Candy Shoppe & Heavenly Roasted Nuts is a family-owned West Allis institution specializing in handmade, hand-dipped chocolates and roasted nuts since 1928.
Operating for nearly a century, this beloved candy shop takes pride in crafting premium confections using time-tested recipes passed down through three generations. Their signature offerings include decadent treats like Pecan Turtles, Sea Salt Caramel, English Butter Toffee, and their famous Mint Meltaways, with prices ranging from budget-friendly options around $3.50 to more indulgent gift boxes at $36. The shop also offers their distinctive Heavenly Roasted Nuts—a fragrant blend of cashews, pecans, and almonds with cinnamon and sugar coating that has become an iconic product.
Beyond individual purchases, Freese's excels at creating thoughtfully curated gift boxes and corporate gifts, making it a go-to destination for both personal sweet-tooth satisfaction and special occasions. The West Allis location serves as the heart of this Milwaukee-area tradition, welcoming customers who appreciate quality craftsmanship and nostalgic charm in an era of mass-produced candy.
