    Coons Candy - First Visit…read more Let's go ahead and name what some of us have probably thought: pulling up to a place called Coons Candy comes with hesitation -- especially as a Black customer. It's an unspoken (and sometimes spoken) moment of pause, wondering what kind of experience you're walking into. But curiosity -- and a soft spot for old-school sweets -- led us to check it out. To my surprise, the staff couldn't have been more welcoming. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with friendly smiles and offered samples of fudge, toffee, and a few other homemade treats. That immediately softened the moment and brought on a bit of nostalgia -- felt like walking into one of those general stores my MawMaw would take me to, or a Cracker Barrel stop on a road trip. The store itself is exactly what you'd expect from a small-town candy shop: shelves packed with retro candies, novelty drinks, locally made honey and syrups, quirky gifts, and yes -- edible bugs. It's cozy and cluttered in a fun, old-school way. We left with: * Boba Vida popping pearls (dark cherry) * Sugar Daddy, Victory sticks, Stallion candy smokes, raspberry & green apple sticks * Locally made honey * A mix of glass-bottle sodas: * Sioux City Ginger Beer + Prickly Pear * Reading Draft Honey Cream * Drive-In Cherry Limeade * Nehi Peach * Ginger Strawberry tea * Hot & Spicy Ginger Beer This is definitely a place for folks who love that nostalgic candy-store vibe and don't mind digging through shelves of old favorites and funky surprises. ‍ Final take: It was a mixed bag. The selection was fun and the staff made us feel welcome. But the name? It sticks -- and not in a sweet way. That hesitation doesn't go away entirely, and I'd understand if someone else passed on the visit for that reason alone. I'm glad I saw it for myself. Would I go back? Maybe. Would I recommend it? Depends who's asking.

    We stopped by today & had to buy some of the delicious fudge! Utterly charming store. I will never…read moredrive past again. Wonderful chocolates, hard candies & so much cuteness! Plus, really sweet people. I'm so glad we stopped! If you have a problem with name, please get some professional help. You're ridiculous. It's their last name.

    Buckeye Candy Company has 29 reviews, 28 of them are 5 stars. There's a good reason for this…read more It's a great candy store that's filled full of almost every kind of sweets and chocolates you can imagine from, hard to find, to retro and imports. What are some of my favorite chocolate bars that I found? Aero Zagnut Clark Heath Zero Chik 'O Stix Curly Whirly Skor (I just wish they'd carry Roshen brand, from Ukraine. One of the "hidden gems" in the chocolate world). Anyways, it's a great specialty shop to explore for yourself. You'll find many of your old favorites and maybe something new to try. 5 stars And Here's Another Morsel For You To Nibble On: * Use your Yelp check-in to get a 10% discount. * Wanting a gift for someone? How about getting them a selection of unusual chocolate bars? * They also have an interesting selection of sodas. * Be sure to check out their markdown section for some great deals!

    I haven't updated since they moved? Well, they moved, down the street a bit, into the old Swan…read moreCleaners. About 4 times as big, still stuffed with good things. Nostalgic candy, the latest TikTok trends, imports, seasonal, etc. Right now a lot of fun Christmas things. Raindeer poop gummies, old-fashioned ribbon candy, and much more. Plus some pop, fudge, bulk stuff, and a clearance table. Fun place, nice owners, astonishing assortment of treats.
