I didnt go to the candy store. I was there for the street vendors.I refuse to go to the street vendors were there are brick-and-mortar shops getting taxed but down in the Market District you get delicious and fresh stuff and no one else is selling anything there.

As a candy lover I can honestly say that these candies are fabulous. I got a bag of mixed sweets and every flavour was gorgeous 😋

You really are an adult in a candy shop with the same excitement of a child. Love the variety of Mexican candy, reminiscent of candy I grew up with along with an assortment of piñatas for all occasions that start from $15. They definitely carry the most items for a kids party.You can also find all you need from decorations to giveaways. Lastly, they have parking in back! Check them out!

From the east coast but made it a point to re-visit this candy store. Super friendly and kind. Excellent selection of goodies that any kid will enjoy. Staff can provide a perfect explanation of any candy in the shop. They indulge you with samples and never rush your decision making. What a real candy shop should be - a true treasure! Always fresh, no nasty/stale candy here.

Great prices for pinatas and candy. Everyone is very helpful I found piggy banks well 🦄 banks to give away for my daughters birthday super economical. I believe it was in Perez party supplies. I believe it was 60 for a dozen. I remember seeing them in a store for 20 plus dollars by where I live. I was shocked at the price. It was a nice size medium I believe. And well the candy better than Walmart and better selection. So remember great prices and good quality 👍.

Came to the Pinata District in search of candies for a Birthday party and for other supplies. Parking was priced at 10$ for the day, the sign said $3 for 10 min. So 10$ was the deal at the spot we went to. Candies are real cheap. There are the Mexico brands and American brands available and was indeed cheaper than other stores near my neighborhood. There are plenty of vendors selling tacos and aguas, flavors of all kinds. There so many stores to purchase from and they do have various prices amongst each other. Definitely the place to come for celebration supplies of all kinds. Not just candies and pinatas.

Food, shopping and bathrooms are... Wheres the bathroom? Love it for party supplies and bulk items for decorating. Clothes for everyone when culture is a must. Pinatas are everywhere and custom made ones can be ordered! Make a day of it and enjoy the experience of street vendor heaven with its south of the border charm! So many shops with similar products and prices. Parking is available for a fee if you get there early.

This place is AWESOME! The owner encourages you to consume as many free samples as possible. Plus, the owner is really nice and knows everything about candy. He even introduced me to a new kind! I will visit this store on every trip to Sausalito from now on, and I dont even like candy that much.

Review №63

We really loved this candy store. It reminded me of old candy shops from when I was a kid. They have every kind of candy worth selling from the past 50 years. Classics like fudge and salt water taffy are staples but way better than we had--sw taffy flavors like caramel popcorn and passion fruit, and fudge that had layers of salted caramel and peanut butter. Wish I could have brought it back to CA but glad I couldnt because Id gain a hundred pounds.

One of my favorite places to go to find my favorite Mexican candy at bargain prices! Make sure you get there early on the weekends since it tends to get busy and packed. Love that you have tons of options and their merchants are willing to bargain with you. You can find from piñatas in any shape and size, to ceramics. Its also a great place just to walk around and soak in the Mexican nostalgia!!!
