"Sometimes the most spontaneous visits to certain places can be the best. And this is exactly what I experienced when visiting Endless Summer Sweets . They name all in itself sounds like either a candy shop or bakery. But it is actually neither. They are more focused on fair/carnival type food where you could get deep-fried Oreos, deep-fried Twinkies, funnel cakes, caramel apples, and ice cream as well as hand-dipped corn dogs and grilled hot dogs. Located directly on Shattuck Ave. and tucked in between Durant Ave/Channing Way in the heart of Berkeley, Endless Summer Sweets (which is open year round) has been serving the East Bay community ever since 2009. As I mentioned in the previous paragraph, I came here on a whim since I didn 't want a full-on meal and more of a snack to fill me up. I arrived at around 7:30pm on the evening of 10/16/21 and as expected, there was a long line of people waiting to get their comfort food. Which is a good sign since I knew I would be in for something good. I ended up ordering their Chicken Apple Grilled Hot Dog (for $5.00) complete with a small soda and a Mini Funnel Cake complete with powdered sugar strawberries (for $6.00). Total time it took was a rather quick 10 minutes even though there were nonstop customers in here. My hot dog arrives first and I was very impressed with the toasted hot dog bun and large portions they offered. I completed dressing this up with mustard, mayo, ketchup, relish. As far as the funnel cake, this was very delicious and 5-star worthy. It was so good I didn 't even take a photo of it (which is a cardinal sin for me since I ALWAYS try to snap a picture) prior to eating it. It definitely had that state fair taste to it and is something I could literally enjoy eating year-round. The interior of this place is fun, lively, and actually offers ample seating for families and couples. All in all, Endless Summer Sweets is an excellent above-average place that I highly recommend. The selection of sugary sweets in addition to cotton candy and popcorn is a place kids will love. And the hot dog/corn dog selection is sure to please people of all ages. When you factor in the ambiance, experience, customer service, prices, and quality of food, I would have to rate Endless Summer Sweets an above average four stars."
