Ton of candy. My partner enjoyed the soft serve ice cream.

The only place open that was serving ice cream, however the majority of flavors were sold out and the ones still left had freezer burn. The serve your own toppings during a pandemic doesn’t seem up to health code but whatever. The kid behind the counter asked if we wanted to leave room for toppings we said yes but there really wasn’t room for toppings anyway. We didn’t buy any candy.

Delicious candy, so many choices. The fudge looked amazing!!!! Chocolate covered bacon though 😶😶 It was good however Id recommend dark chocolate to enhance the flavor. Either way, this place is adorable, fun, and absolutely delicious!!!

Literally one of my favorite candy shops to order from! They always have my favorite nostalgic candy and the only place I can find the one candy my mum loves. Love them so much!

We went there with high hopes...very disappointed. Many of the bulk candies were stale. We got a 6 pack of their cupcakes. They were all different flavors. When we trieded them it was as if they were all the same... Sugar flavored. Stale and tiny for the price. The clerk was nice but that is all. Will not go back.

The son of the owner (he stated his mother owns the shop) was very rude, filled with attitude and uninformed about the items in his families shop. We came into the shop around 4:45, a few other customers were in the store. We were looking around at the different candies while he assisted the other customers, then decided to get some ice cream. He complained about having to make it. As he was scooping the ice cream, he was scoffing and rolling his eyes. We asked about different topping types and he couldn’t tell us what they were, while he continued to scoff and roll his eyes. He placed the plastic container on the counter (unsealed) and my daughter who was holding an infant (so her hands were full) grabbed it off the counter, was not expecting for it to be opened, and it flipped open and fell on the ground. We then asked him if he could remake it, he complained that we were already in the store past closing and he doesn’t feel he needs to re make it. He started giving more attitude so we asked for his name/managers name, he then told us his family owns the shop and called my daughter a b*tch. We told him we won’t be purchasing anything (we had got 4 sundaes) and he said we aren’t worth the time. He proceeded to ask personal questions such as what my daughters credit score is? Very unprofessional and his mother really should seek better employees it is a very cute shop.

Ordered their custom candy box off of a Facebook add. Basically all the gummy, licorice and circus peanuts in the box were so hard they were completely inedible and I had to throw them out. The box was not cheap.

Stumbled upon this great little place. The staff was so friendly. I bought 6 cupcakes then realized I wasnt going straight home. They held my purchase so the wonderful chocolate toppers wouldnt melt. On my way out noticed another customer getting a decadent milk shake... will have to go back to try.Popped into this wonderful shop again July 28th to celebrate Harry Potters birthday. Absolutely loved our appropriately named treats and refreshing butter beer 🍺.

Remember those candy stores in the malls you would BEG your parents to let you go in? They were over priced, and you would pay about 20 dollars for a tiny little bag of candy. Not this place!I was super skeptical of ordering online from a candy shop, but my craving of chocolate rocks and chocolate covered gummy bears got the best of me.I lowkey thought this might be a scam, but when I got the shipping notification in my inbox I was quite literally as ‘happy as a kid in a candy store’The box came in today, and it was wrapped up super cute. I’m currently pending a COVID test, and haven’t been able to leave the house, and this made my entire day.I haven’t tried the chocolates (I can’t taste anything at the moment), BUT they got the approval of my tiny human!Will be ordering from them again, these would also make great gifts!!

I take my son in here occasionally for a special treat. He loves it and the selection is massive like the good old candy stores. The staff has always been engaging and friendly. I give four starts because the chocolates are only so so.

Cute store. I was excited about getting some cupcakes but visually the cupcake case was a mess and then upon having them for dessert shortly after leaving I was very disappointed to find that the cupcakes were very small and all but one of them was hard and tasted stale. Very overpriced for what you get. Staff was not helpful, customer service there could definitely be much improved. However, it was fun to see all the fun candy and a throw back to see candies from my childhood.

The cupcakes here are amazing! The day old ones are only $1 and are just as good as the fresh ones! I love all of the candy jars and nostalgic candy! Tracy is as sweet as the candy and cupcakes! If you have children, have a cupcake party here! Weve had two and they were so much fun! Life is short, why not make it sweet? Wahooo! ♥

Love this place! Staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the experience is unique. The boys (12 and 16) love being able to fill their own bags... and lets be honest, us adults love it too! Theres always a few staples (gummies, chocolates, etc) and something seasonal or new to try. The fudge is always to DIE for and we can never walk out with less than a pound! Stop by and check it out!

The store is great - the soft serve ice cream flavors are spot on! We love going there for all sorts of treats and the staff have always been super friendly to us and our son. The only reason it gets four stars instead of five is that, after having spent $12, we were unable to get a cup of water for our son. The staff (super friendly by the way, not their fault) clearly felt bad about asking us to buy the bottle water they had for sale. This is ridiculous. Every other store that serves ice cream in the area does not make you buy water after youve paid for ice cream. I understand if you dont buy anything, but seriously? You cant give a 3 year old a small cup to wash down his cupcake? That soured my experience here.

This place is amazing, friendly staff, amazing treats! I just wish their bubble tea was better. The next closest bubble tea shop is over an hour away. If the bubble tea was good, id buy it everyday, maybe even more than once !

This is a very nice old-time candy store, which is what appealed to us when we went a few times last year. Its in a great downtown location, and has indoor and outdoor seating. They have a large selection of candy and chocolate, as well as ice cream. My daughter was temporarily in heaven while we were there!

I havent been back since the owner cashed me out and told me my candy punch card was old even though I had gotten it a week prior. They have a good candy selection although the Japanese candy section has gotten smaller over the years.

The first time I went in there no one was doing there job they just stood there and stared like people were gonna steal not asked if someone needed help. I felt unwelcomed and uncomfortable and on top of that they were very over priced. I wouldnt recommend anyone coming here better off going somewhere else.

BEST CANDY STORE OUT THERE!! I always look forward to going here. Let me just start with how much I love the cupcakes and sweets, they are always so creative and pretty.They have a very good candy selection, and they have a option where you can get a bag and choose the candy you would like to buy! The candy is also very affordable and so good.The design on the inside and outside of the store is so cute, and I love the decorations they have.The workers here seem to really like their job here and are so friendly. I feel very comfortable here and it makes me happy!
