The person who was at the store (female presenting) was not friendly and very off putting. My friend had put some items on the counter and shared with the staff person that she was still looking. I purchased a couple of items and the staff person assumed I was paying for my friends items as well. They could have asked if I was buying all items instead of assuming. I was actually really frustrated about this happening. The sweets are okay, not great. Likely won't be going back.

I had never heard of it, but come to find out there is one at Valley Fair in San Jose and one in San Francisco. The young woman who worked there greeted me right away and offered to answer any questions or provide samples. When I told her about my need for dark chocolate, she took me over to the bins with dark chocolate almonds and nonpareils. I happily filled a ziplock bag with them, as well as some peanut butter chocolates and Reese's Pieces. I didn't mean to fill the bag quite so much, but was glad to see the price was reasonable when I checked out. It's Sugar's variety of candy includes Dubai chocolate, gummies, sours, chews, retro, novelty, and more. They also have mystery boxes. I enjoyed sitting on a bench in the sun outside the store, munching on my candy.

CandyMania is more a convenience store than a sweet shop, which is fine by me, although the name may be misleading. The variety of goods wasn't huge, ie. I didn't see any diet soft drinks in the refrigerated display case. But they had a lot of random items in the store, including household essentials like cleaning products. Also, some cute Sanrio and Hello Kitty accessories and snacks, nothing appropriate for my nieces/nephews who are fans, but I was able to pick up some wafer cookies in my favorite flavors, strawberry and chocolate. Service was fast and friendly at the front counter, and parking was easy in the lot out front.
