Amazing fudge! Chocolate and ice cream was great here too. Service was very friendly and they offered samples of the fudge, but no samples for the ice cream.Chocolates were about $32/pound, but that excludes truffles which are $3.50ea. Ice cream scoop in a cake cone is $5.95, but at least the scoop is generous. I really enjoyed the peach cobbler ice cream! Sea salt caramel fudge is the most popular fudge and was fantastic, and the best chocolate I tried was the coconut cream, but the most popular chocolate candy is the best claw which contains peacons, caramel, and a choice of either milk or dark chocolate. This store also makes their own large peanut butter cups, but not the small ones.Besides all the chocolate and ice cream, they also make their own popcorn, chocolate pretzels, and wide assortments of taffy. But dont forget all the classic candies they sell like the candy cigarette classics!
I dont like taffy, but we bought $60 worth because it was so good. Such fun flavors too - chicken and waffles was surprisingly good and frosted cupcake was really tasty. The man who helped us was super sweet, even though he was running the place by himself and they were busy. Fudge was really yummy too.
This is a tourist trap. $20 for 2 ice cream cones. Which my wife pointed out and we laughed about…..then we were rung up for our chocolate, which was mundane/average quality at best for a whopping $45 for 3-4 chocolate cherry clusters. You’d think it should be maybe $3-4 per piece. And just tastes like melted down extremely mass produced gross chocolate. We didn’t know the prices until checkout and, I’m not sure why I didn’t speak up, but I guess was too embarrassed to say “sorry that’s too expensive.”Be careful - do not go here. Seek out one of the many “country stores” in Door County with sweet treats at much more reasonable prices. All week we kept thinking back to this experience and felt taken advantage of. I guess because they are the only “fun store” left on 3rd street they think they’ve cornered the market. Or maybe they don’t care about their one time only, tourist clientele knowing they likely won’t be back regardless. I’m not sure.Additionally the older man working there was very kind but I can’t say the same about the older woman. After seemingly noticing a long line growing, she proactively offeree to help the group behind us in the ice cream line. Was she overwhelmed or something? But noticeably & drastically changed attitudes like she was suddenly really bothered to be helping them or it wasn’t worth her time. She snapped. Very terse responses - I felt bad for this family, who clearly didn’t speak English as their first language.
Good place, good ice creams, great variety of sweets and products, good decoration, pleasant atmosphere...
We had wonderful root beer floats. We bought delicious cheese popcorn. Would definitely recommend everyone to enjoy their goods.
Friendly and staff and great chocolate, what more do you need?
Four stars, only because of price. They have a large selection of candy, more than the other candy store up the street, and the staff was great, but the prices are 30% - 100% higher depending on what you buy compared to the other store. If you are visiting, stop at Door County Confectionery first and save some money on fudge and truffles, then slide down to this place for the stuff DCC didnt have.
The largest, cleanest and most remarkable candy shop we have ever seen. FABULOUS!
Great goodies. Always busy. There fudge is sooooooo good. Carmel sea salt is best
BUYER BEWARE... Way over priced at $39.95/ lb. The little bit of candy we purchased was half the price of the delicious meal we had for 8 people at Sonnys... $50 plus dollars for 4 turtles, and a truffle... Felt robbed. Pandemic is effecting all of us, but this place seems to be doing very well. Also, cedar crest ice cream which can be purchased at a grocery store. So becareful. We were unfortunately taken advantage of, and didnt speak up, as it was closing time, and another group waiting to check out. So disappointed with this business...
I bit pricey but the staff is nice and there are a ton of options. Kids are always excited to stop there.
One of my favorite stops in Sturgeon Bay! We always spend like $100 on candy and treats. Theyre pie bars and truffles are truly amazing. You must stop and try this place out.
Amazing little old fashioned candy shop. We stopped to get ice cream and picked up some taffy and they were both delicious! The staff was friendly and helpful.
Candy was good quality. Prices are not listed or not visible. Over $30 for less than a pound of candy and was a surprise after it was already boxed at the check out.
If I could give this place a zero review I would. 3 women and they looked at me while I was standing in front of candy case waiting for service like I was stupid. Got helped after about 15 minutes. 1 woman went to the bathroom with her apron on and went to the bathroom never taking it off, never washing hands, and went back to making candy... Gross. The other woman who got my overly expensive bag of yuck grabbed candy without gloves. I bought truffles.. Not really a truffle...a grainy chocolate candy with a half a piece of jelly in the middle. None of them had ganache.
Awesome stuff! Maybe too much? 😂 If you can put chocolate on it or in it, its there! Ill pass on the grasshoppers though! 😁
Chocolate was very expensive for what we got. Both got my daughters and I’s order wrong and waited over 20 minutes to get helped. Not only was the service horrible but we paid an arm and a leg for stuff we didn’t even want.
So many different flavors to choose from. Loved trying the fudge before buying and getting some candy to go.
Excellent Door County cherry fudge! Staff was very helpful and willing to offer samples!
Lots of candy to choose from. The ice cream was delicious 😋
It was a bit pricey for what we got & the turtle we got.....wasnt what I was expecting. It had a funny taste & texture. Salt water taffy was good
We love coming here and stocking up on all our goodies.
Fun place to visit..great fudge but on the pricey side
Nice candy store. Will definitely be a stop to try the fudge and the ice cream.
First time here and I got the plain chocolate fudge. At first it was great until I bite into a hard piece of chocolate. So hard it hurt my teeth. It tasted bitter and ruined the experience. Hoping this is not the norm. I took a picture of it but I am not surehow to upload it on here.
A Leays enjoy the experience of Door County Candy. Best Blue Moon ice cream ever. Strawberry fantastic too!
Staff was wonderful. To mant delicous treats.
Expensive for what you get. Got a box of 5 truffles ($3.50 each) and a small bag of chocolate covered cherries for $45. They gave us a $2 gift card after our purchase that they wouldnt let us use then for anything else. Dont live in the area, so will go unused. Id say tourist trap!
Unbelievable amounts of candy went back twice for ice cream
We found a lot of candy from our childhoods that brought back memories. Our kids didnt know where to begin looking around. Was great!
Lots of goodies. Very friendly. Great ice cream selections
Bought some delicious candy from Door County Candy today. Also met and talked with the owner. This guy really won my wife and I over with his story. Small business owners are some of the toughest people out there. If youre in downtown Sturgeon Bay, check this guy out! Great candy, great service. #shoplocal
They have every kind of sweet treat available.
Super sweet staff! Truffles are amazing! Lots to choose from!
There is a good variety of fudge, salt water taffy and confections. Its expensive, but so far everything I have tried was nothing short of amazing. They also offer a wide variety of packaged and bulk candies such as atomic fireballs, gummies, jelly belly and so on.
This place is just amazingly delicious, some of the best ice cream and chocolates ever.
Really nice candy shop. Very good fudge and other chocolate deserts!
Just go....for the colors, the smells, the nostalgia.
Off the charts candy store, great fudge and sweets, something for everyone.
Super friendly staff, great selection, good prices
The sample of fudge was great, and the ice cream cone was also great, but very expensive.
Adorable candy store. The fudge was some of the best fudge I have ever tasted (we got the German chocolate). I love how it feels like you step back into time.
Love this place. Great handmade candy, great (and some are quirky) old school candies, ice cream and fun treasures. Always a fun visit!
Well, lets just get this out of the way: the prices here are expensive, on SOME of the things that they have. If I remember correctly, their homemade chocolates were $32 a pound, and ice cream, for a single scoop, was about $6 for a cone.As for their homemade chocolates, I LOVED THEM! Some of the best Ive had. Almost all the homemade chocolates where I live are similarly priced, so no big deal for me, all I cared about was the taste, and it was worth every penny. The ice cream was also excellent, and really not that much higher than other independently owned shops in Door County. I paid more for a small dish of gelato in Fish Creek, so keep that in mind.Now that we have that out of the way, I LOVED this place. The people working there were really friendly, and extremely helpful. For those looking to get a treat for less, they have an ENTIRE WALL of traditional candies, including some brands Ive not seen in years, like Charleston Chews, which I ate all the time when I was a kid! The selection is incredible, and those looking for something for the kids will find a lot they will like.Probably the best candy store Ive ever been in, and Ive been in quite a few. So whether you want to indulge in their fantastic homemade chocolates, popcorn and treats, or just want a Hershey Bar for the kiddos, this place has it all. I consider it a must-stop shop for all sweet tooths.HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!!!
The ice cream is just from Cedar Crest. You can pick that up at any grocery store. Price is very high for what you get. A regular shake will cost you over $9....
Cute little store. Give out lots of free samples👍
Must visit!! Great Candy.
What a treat! The chocolate is amazing!
The store was nice, but some parts of the floor creaked like crazy
This place has an incredible selection of hand dipped candy, fudge and ice cream! The ice cream is really good but pretty pricey!
Love it there! Very good ice cream!!!!
Nice little candy shop. Very friendly staff.
This candy shoppe was fantastic. The owner was very willing to let everyone in our group of 10 adults and children taste test anything they wanted. It was a very pleasant and appealing experience for everyone. They had something for everyone.
Such a great candy and chocolate shop. Fun fudges and chocolate covered fruits, nuts and cookies.
Amazing selection! Novelty candies and new. Truffles, toffee, fudge and more ❤ Very pleasant employees
Great selection just way over priced
This place has the best fudge I have ever had. Do yourself a favor and get a bunch of their Snickers flavor. To die for!!
Felt swindled. Super expensive fudge and ice cream- 2 scoops of just ice cream cost $13 and ice cream can be bought from a supermarket. Fudge we were swindled into buying and man serving it was rather rude and refused to tell us exact prices until it rang up at $60 for 3 flavored pieces.
Lots of great selections
Fast counter service, clean and organized candies of ALL kinds, and dark and milk chocolate options on many homemade items in the case. I purchased dark chocolate covered orange peels and angel food, which is another name for sea foam. One of my all time favorite candies!! They didnt carry licorice snaps, but had many other licorice items, both red and black. Sugar free options were perched on a shelf as well--nice to include! I somehow spent thirty dollars here-- not sure how that happened, but the candy is fantastic! So five stars it is.
The BEST sea salt caramel fudge!!! Staff very helpful with suggestions. Hard to leave!
$47 for five Ice cream cones.Not even good ice cream just Cedar Crest I could have bought at the grocery. $3.50 upcharge for a chocolate dipped edge of a stale waffle cone, on top of the insane price per scoop.I get it, Im in DC so the prices will be higher but this was over the top. My own fault for not carefully checking the prices before saying yes to the kids, or just handing them back the cones at the register.Seriously Ive never taken the time to give a bad review to any business, especially a small business but this place deserves it for outright robbery.
This is by FAR the most versatile, charming, and picturesque candy shop I have ever seen! The sweet ( HA) shop owner was so friendly, and willing to give out free samples it was impossible NOT to buy the heavenly fudge. There is an ice cream parlor, taffy barrels to pick a variety, every domestic candy under the sun, and carmel popcorn too. Oh, so much more..... Id give 6 stars but I cant.
This place is a must-see for anyone in Door County! I love that there is always fudge or candy being made while Im in there. This place is truly is a step back in time for all of us that grew up with little candy shops in our small towns. The selection of old and new candy is hands down the best Ive seen outside of Chicago. Just go already! :)
Amazing customer service, lots of choices! Truffles were amazing, kids loved the rock candies! Smells good inside and out!
Fun candy store with big selection of wrapped candies, home-made fudge, and chocolate treats. They also serve Cedarcrest ice cream, floats, and shakes. Friendly owners, theyre just busy all the time.
Super friendly and great staff. Delicious salt water taffy. Fudge is also delicious.
Guys, I promise you Im not a (very) cheap person. But this place is legit the most expensive ice cream parlor Ive ever been to.A single scoop of ice cream is $6. To have it in a waffle cone instead of a gross cake cone (like youd get at McDonalds) costs an extra $1.50. Those arent even the fancy dipped waffle cones either (I didnt see the price for those). So were talking $7.50 for a regular waffle cone with a small amount of ice cream. Honestly, where the heck do you pay prices like that? Literally every other ice cream place in Door County is $1-3 cheaper than here.Its Cedar Crest ice cream, which is admittedly delicious and good quality, but again, most places in DC serve the same stuff for less. Heck, theres a place in Dundee, WI, that serves baby waffle cones of Cedar Crest that are honestly more like 4-scoop cones and they come in under $3 each. Insane.I guess if you can rationalize paying $7.50 for a waffle cone, good for you. But did I mention the prices of other ice cream options?Regular sundeas. Like, 1-topping sundeas: $9.95.Shakes and malts $9.95.I... I cant.All of this is before tax and before tip (which you should be tipping your service workers!).All I can say is that I hope to God the employees are making BANK working there (like, over $15 an hour before tips). Otherwise, if all that extra money is going into the pockets of the owners, Im calling it like I see it: greed.I felt too awkward to walk out once I walked in there to get ice cream, so I bought some, but know this, Im never going back and Im warning everyone I know not to go there and waste their money on the wildly inflated prices.
An amazing and fun wonderland full of candy, toys, fudge, and with ice cream. The atmosphere is inviting and the sturgeon made from Jelly Bellys jellybeans is worth the stop. I will definitely come back!
Love the chocolate. Bit pricey but rather pay more for homemade made locally chocolate.
Goin back in time.
Nice candy shop. They have a wide varity of candie, cookies and ice cream.
Nice selection of fudge and candies
Cute shop but when we walked in it smelled awful. Hopefully it was just a bad batch, but it did not give us an appetite for candy unfortunately.
LOVED IT! GREAT EMPLOYEES! VERY HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY! GREAT SELECTION!
Great selection, great staff
I stopped with my 2 boys after fishing and paid $21.50 for 2 cones. My last stop for sure. I realize its door cty but come on. Im glad Im local and have other options.
Great staff and wide selection of candy
I love the candy store! Me and my friends go there all the time! Highly recommend 😁😛
Unless you want to pay heavily for a few seconds of nostalgia and cuteness, I would pass this place up. You might as well go and get a filet mignon and save some money. I obviously understand that they are serving to a wealthier crowd but if you are at all budget conscious, like me, go and spend your money on a more note worthy cause. As for the chocolate, it was alright. Not bad but nothing I would ever pay that price for. I was a bit disappointed when I took my first bite and nearly broke my tooth on a cherry pit but the rest was ok.
Old time candy store. Must stop when in Sturgeon Bay
Amazing, almost overwhelming, selection of great tasting candy and very nice and helpful staff.
Great selection and delicious a bit pricey but for a great treat its worth it!
Staff was awesome. as 25 of us showed up.
Love this place but very over priced
Such an awesome and nostalgic-feeling place to go. Definitely recommend adding to a Door County to-do list!
Lots of options but no prices. A smal chunck of fudge, around 1/2 lb, was $20!!! Its not even as good as Mackinac fudge which is half the price.
Delicious candy, great service. We actually went in twice. First as we were just walking around town scoping things out. The woman behind the counter gave us a recommendation for lunch (Door County Fire Company) which was great. All the candy we got was delicious and fairly priced.
Old fashioned candy... great selection.. Hand dipped chocolate items... The Chocolate dipped Bacon is awesome.. Great ice cream, nice selection of cards... There is something for everyone. Excellent customer service... You can sample the taffy.
Awesome selection
Besides having an amazing select of candies that I grew up on they had some my grandma grew up on😊Outstanding fudge, and the yummiest truffles. So so good
Chocolate is expensive but good! Enjoyed my cashew bear claw!
