I always drove past this place and I figured I would finally stop in and I was pleasantly surprised. They had a great selection of everything and I was able to get a bunch of unique gifts for my coworkers and friends for Christmas. I will be back. The woman who helped me was extremely friendly. read more

Very professional, clean store, COVID safety precautions. Their candy is vintage and such a fun little town store to buy little gifts. read more

Below average candy shop with a limited selection of items. It is fun looking inside and has charm, but the selection is lacking. The chocolate counter is about 4 feet wide with 10-15 items. Other than that, there's mostly hard candy and commercially branded stuff (pennywise the clown, the office, mister rogers, etc.) I didn't purchase anything but enjoyed taking a look around. The workers were pleasant and the place looked clean. read more

Service and quality: I purchased bulk candy (bullseyes and Mary Jane's). Some were hard and stale. I went in for a return and the employee was not able to do the transaction without the owner. She then went on to tell me "not to lie" about the candy. WTF? read more

If you're looking for candy this joint probably has what you need. Whether it's a vintage candy from year back or something contemporary, they've got a wide variety of ways to satisfy your sugar habit. We stopped in today looking for a specific old-school candy to stow away in my sons time capsule and sure enough they had it. Prices are fan friendly too. Cheers! read more

I love this place. Little family owned candy store! I love candy! Did i mention i love candy? They have all the oldschool candies feom the 90s and it brings back such good memories! Pricing is decent too! Most stuff is $1-$3 They also have homemade chocolates that are to die for! Honestly anything you can think of is here. Friendly owners and kids. Clean. Cute. Whats not to love! read more

Around the Corner Candy - Candy. Candy. Candy. Chocolate. - Candy Stores Near Me - West Dundee, Illinois

Around the Corner Candy has moved into a brand new building! Right next to a hair salon the building was just built this year. My husband needed some wax lips for a costume and I had no idea where to find some on short notice. Came here and of course they had them. Got a homemade Carmel Granny Smith Apple on the way out! It was delicious. Very cute place. read more

Note the 5-star reviews are from years ago. The ownership must have changed hands recently because my experience was entirely different. I've stopped in this shop a couple of times in the past few months because I love their bulk chocolates. Seems like the chocolate supplier is the same as in the past because their chocolate-covered ANYTHING is fantastic & fairly priced. However, many of the bins, boxes, containers, shelves, etc of the other candies were completely empty. Several display racks were completely empty. I actually asked the young female employee if they were going out of business. I got an apathetic and irritated "no" for an answer. The place lacked the charm (and inventory) it once seemed to have. It's a shame. read more

Such a cute candy store in Dundee! They offer such a great selection for even the big kids!

The best place ever! Amazing customer service skills. I spent over 2 hours there and the staff answered all my annoying questions. Ill def be back and highly recommend this place to everybody! I drive almost 30 min just to come here. read more

Grew up with this place. Living in Nevada now, I thought my candy days were over. Little did I know, the website has a full list of all the candies, chocolates and treats, and get this...they'll ship it to you! Just received my first order of candy and there will be many more to come. I couldn't be happier to still be able to eat the candy I did as a kid, and for the price. Totally worth it. 10 out of 10. Would recommend read more

LOVE THEM! Adorable shop, so many cute and fun gifts and just about any type of candy you'd want, nostalgic and newer! I love that they've always been family owed and keep an amazing selection. If they don't have something you wanted, they'll look to see if they can special order it for you. They do custom orders in bulk if you need- deff my go to shop for treats for any event! Wonderful staff, always smiling and happy to help you and always willing to make you up a bag of whatever your favorites are in any size. For sure my favorite place in Dundee! Who doesn't love to fill up a shopping pail of all your favorite candies? read more

Very cute store.. a lot of variety. They also have gifts and holiday themed candy. Definitely recommend..

Around the Corner Candy is such a wonderful place! Amazing candy selection with a vintage candy store feel- not something you see every day! You can literally find anything here, and if they don't have it in stock, they will order it for you! They supplied the Candy Buffet at my wedding and it was a huge hit. Everything looked gorgeous and they ordered everything I wanted for a great price. The owners are great people and love what they do- recommend again and again! read more

Best candy shop in all the land !!! They are fully stocked with anything you could possibly think of! Retro candy, seasonal candy ( Carmel apples - hand dipped there- Christmas candy you get the idea !) jelly belly's & Gummy candy ! They will make a bag of any amount and they don't make you feel bad about getting a little big of everything they have in bulk to try it out! Been an awesome spot in town since the 90's. Family owned! No better place to support or shop! read more

I have been coming here since my kids were infants. This store is a step back in time to the days of penny candy and soda fountains and it is a wonderful little slice of the past right off Main Street USA. Prices are way less than the gas station or convenience store but the experience is a priceless step back in time. Retro candy galore and very kind and friendly service mixed with odds and ends and specialty items. If you are ever in the area, this is a great little adventure and definitely will soothe your sweet tooth! read more

Have been coming for years and am thankful to have such an amazing resource in the neighborhood - we are truly spoiled by all the specialty and nostalgic candies, as well as the most friendly and helpful staff anywhere. Treat yourself to a visit - you'll come back for more! read more

This is the new location which is really nice, however i understand they may be moving again which is kind of a bummer. The old location was a little cramped but very cozy. The candy here is excellent and we normally come here to get some of the homemade candy for things like stocking stuffers, Easter baskets, co workers birthdays, etc. They have a great selection and often i find nostalgic candies from when i was a kid, and so it is fun to have my kid try them. If you are in the area it is well worth stopping in. You can park in the lot behind the old location off of 2nd and its a short walk from there (everything in downtown West Dundee is a short walk). read more

We love this place! They have every type of candy that you could ever want. It's a gem in downtown West Dundee. The candy is delicious and the employees are always kind and helpful! They have the best chocolate covered strawberries for Valentine's Day. read more

The best candy store hands down! They have all kinds of cool things here! Old school candy such as satellite wafers, ice cube chocolates, candy cigarettes. Then they also have fudge, chocolate covered expresso beans, gummy candies. It's just amazing there, the prices are great and the owners are very friendly. read more

Awesome selection and super friendly staff! The giant chocolate covered raisins are my absolute favorite. They have lots of fun nostolgic candies and kitschy gift items as well; this is my go to place for a fun last minute gift like goofy socks or a cute plushy toy. The new location is awesome and gives a lot more space to look around and see all sorts of fun items that you may have missed before! read more

Cutest little candy store ever! Just moved into a beautiful new location! So fun to bring the kids to! Always a good excuse to head to a candy store with a ton of selections! Grab your kid, the grandkid or even just a neighborhood kid! read more
