I just had the best ice cream sundae here! The assortment of candies here is unbelievable!!! Also they have a nice cafe! Definitely will be back for sandwiches and coffee!! Really quaint inside, super historical!

Can't believe I've lived in Andover since 1983 and have never been here. The adventure began with the aroma of chocolate when you walk in - amazing. I did a quick jog through the candy store and vowed to take my granddaughters here during their next visit. Next ordered lunch: chicken BLT which was so fresh. Bacon was crispy and they remembered to not add guacamole. Next came the sundae: their list in-house of flavors that are made on site doesn't match the online list (butter crunch ) but the substituted butter pecan was delicious. My only complaint of the day was that the rich, flavorful butterscotch sauce was room temp and not at all heated. All staff were friendly and attentive. Everything felt nostalgic which was so nice. I'll be back.

We went a couple weeks ago and it was such a throw back to when I was little. The ice cream sundae bar was just as I remembered and my daughter and her friend thought it was great. Wildly awesome variety of candies and baked goods too.

My favorite place to go for lunch near my work. The sandwiches are delicious and have a variety of homemade sides like broccoli salad, potato salad, and pasta salad. My go-to order is the Mayflower sandwich with broccoli salad. I haven't tried the ice cream or chocolate but definitely would like to eventually. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating if you want to dine in. The employees are friendly. The location is a little odd (Route 1 north) but it's easy to find. Highly recommended whether you're looking for a meal or dessert. Something for everyone here!

Really enjoyed visiting this cute little country place. We only came for the candy but will come back to try their additional items another day.

Great place to grab breakfast or lunch! I got an ice coffee, and a bacon, egg, cheddar and avocado breakfast sandwich! Both were amazing. It's a really cozy and relaxing environment, 10/10 recommend!

What can I say, other than every holiday I come here to get the best gingerbread houses. As soon as you walk in you smell sugary goodness! Then the cinnamon rolls hit you and then chocolate. Talk about being in Willy wonkas chocolate factory. Seriously they have everything, if you want lunch they have that too. I've only purchased their ginger bread and Easter baskets which are both phenomenal and pack a lot of value. I would highly recommend!

A MUST DO! 4 STARS! Putnam Pantry is a Boston Dessert Tradition since 1951. They are Famous for their Home Made Fudge & their Make Your Own Ice Cream Sundaes. The Parking here is FREE! INSIDE TIP. Do a Yelp Check in & you'll get a $1 off any size Sundae. The place is located in Danvers MA outside of Boston. The shop is divided into 2 sections Candy & Ice Cream. Putnam Pantry has an old fashioned ice cream parlour. They have a Giant Blackboard Menu with all the Ice Cream Flavors listed. You load up your dish with your favorite ice cream & as many toppings as you want. Before Covid you could doit yourself after Covid they are putting on whatever toppings you want on your ice cream. So Load it up Baby it's all included in your price. The Ice Cream is Good but the Piling up of the Toppings is the Stand Out Here. You've got to Scope Out the whole place. The shop is Full of old fashioned Antique Furnishings of Candy & Ice Cream Nostalgia. They have a Fireplace & wooden tables, chairs & ice cream parlour chairs too They have a whole section of Retro Candy Bars from Back in the Day. Then they have their home made chocolates. We tried the chocolates & thought it was a Mixed Bag some we're Ok others were Good & others we didn't like at all. Skip the chocolates & go for what they are Famous for - The Fudge. It is Excellent. We couldn't understand why the chocolates are just OK but the Fudge is on a whole another level & it is SO TASTYYYYYYY! It wasn't just my opinion because there was very little left of the various kinds of Fudge but lots of Candy. They have lots of Themed Candy here for various Holidays like Christmas, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Halloween etc. Putnam Pantry is a Fun Place to come & a Blast from the Past to have some Dessert Treats! It used to be, you had to have Mega Bucks & be really Rich to have the Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like a King on a Limited Budget!
