Dewar's Candy Shop | Bakersfield

"My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard,and they're like, its better than yours,damn right its better than yours, i can teach you, but i have to charge." -Kelis

Since 1909 Dewar's Candy Shop and Ice Cream Parlor has been solely responsible for fulfilling the sweet tooth of Bakersfield. Located close to downtown Bakersfield, Dewar's was a gift sent from heaven. As soon as I walked in the joint, the reality of being in Bakersfield slapped me right in the face. I could see why this place has been around for nearly a century, it has so much small town charm. You walk in the entrance and you feel like you are in a scene from a movie. Right away I was in awe of all the kitschy souvenir gifts, stuffed deer head, antique ceiling fans, and local patrons young and old.



They have a wide array of sweet desserts, from the classic banana split to milkshakes, to ice cream sundaes. The service was great and really friendly. But best of all was my two scoop sundae, which consisted of Cookies and Cream and English Toffee, topped with hot fudge, caramelized chopped almonds, and whipped cream. I would go here and skip the health shakes of LA any day. And let me tell you, the prices are amazingly low. Sit at the counter for a memorable experience. I highly recommend Dewar's, it was one of the highlights of my 3 day trek through Bakersfield.
