We enjoy this place for what it is, a candy store that has every brand candy or gum most adults can remember from being a kid and that is always fun. I never see that gold rush or gold mine gum anymore but it is here with all the other stuff. Kids enjoy the massive selection. read more

Such an array of choices, but immediate help from owner Sean. Tall, friendly, gracious and very attractive man knew exactly what I needed for a gift and helped tremendously! I determined to return there. It was worth all the detours of road work to get there! read more

This is a great place to find hard to find candy. Pop rocks, candy cigarettes, wax bottle candy etc. I bought Swedish fish, jelly beans (they have a large selection), and original pop rocks. I grew up in the 70s and 80s so it was refreshing to see all my childhood favorites. The prices are slightly higher than Amazon but comparable to most other stores. The cashier was pleasant and helpful. The store is clean and well organized too. I would recommend it. They have plenty of parking. read more

Great old fashioned Cape Cod sweet shop. Went there 2 weeks ago and spent over $50 on candy that I haven't seen in years. Hopefully it hasn't been sitting on the shelf that long! Service was summer teen basic so nothing to say there. We go here every time we're on the Cape! read more

Average candy store. Decent selection of candy, but not so much for nuts. The truffles were good. Service and prices were both average as well. Nothing to run to, but nothing to go out of your way for. read more

Candy was inedible, stale, felt like you were going to chip a tooth. Left out and not securely packaged for months.

Jill at Candy Co. went above and beyond all my expectations! I can't thank her enough for the amazing customer service! I needed taffy last minute for birthday party favors; and I didn't realize how hard it would be to find on the Cape in March! After going to 3 different places, I felt defeated. Gave Candy Co. a call as a last resort! I explained my vision with a Pinterest picture and Jill made it happen. She found the small round pieces and even rewrapped them to make my vision perfect! She communicated with me, listened to my concerns and didn't stop till I was satisfied with the product! As if that wasn't enough; I wasn't able to go to the store so she even delivered to me at work! I can't express how much I appreciate the hard work and customer service! read more

Traditional stop on our vacation since my kids were little. Great selection of every type of vintage and modern candy, as well as homemade fudge. Prices are reasonable. Small store but they make the most of every inch of space and it seems like we draw a crowd every time we stop in. read more

I went there on my visit to the cape. I was really looking forward to the taffy. Reviews seemed pretty good so I decided to go. The taffy section was absolutely depleted. There were so many empty bins. I still got some of each that was left, and it was awful. I should have walked out and gone across the street to the other taffy. It was hard, and tasted very old. I won't go back, at least not for taffy. read more

It isn't a trip to the Cape without stopping at The Candy Co. Choosing from a selection of literally hundreds of different candies is the most difficult thing you will have to do there; eating it will not be. From gum balls, bull's-eyes, Everlasting Gobstoppers, Sky Bars, Mallo-Cups, rare/international candies, to their taffy and home made fudge, when you're at The Candy Co., you'll literally feel like a kid in a candy shop! Be prepared for a trip down memory lane with a heavy dose of nostalgia! Also, the homemade fudge is EXCELLENT... so make sure you try some of the fudge and the penuche, and don't forget... DON'T REFRIDGERATE YOUR FUDGE!!!! read more

This place has some pretty cool stuff and a huge selection of candy. Some candy is a little overpriced and can be bought cheaper at a grocery store (ex: a small bag of single-serve skittles for $1.70 that can be bought for .99 elsewhere). My major issue with this place is that I've been here multiple times and the workers are consistently rude. I didn't think it was necessary to even bother reviewing this place but my last visit was awful. The woman behind the counter gave such attitude and threw our candy on the counter making things fall and break. She was very annoyed because a group of kids came in right after we did. She seemed to be much more concerned with everything besides the paying customers (us!) She continued to act as if we were giving her such a hard time because we asked for chocolates that were in the case at the front counter (right where you pay...) Perhaps there are friendlier workers but I have yet to see them. read more

I don't mind that this place doesn't have scoop-it-yourself candy b/c hey, I do not like boogery kids handling my goodies. ANY of my goodies. This place is crazy small so don't even bother to go inside if there are many cars in the lot. Wait for it to die down a bit and then venture in. They have everything from sweet, sour, chocolate, fruity, minty, fudge, nuts, imported, old-school, you name it. I have fun going in and getting the stuff from the 90's like WarHeads, fruit rolls, paint cans, etc. It's not expensive unless you buy the bigger packages of candy bags, or the imported stuff. I like being a kid again and going ape shizzle in here. You can get a lot even for a dollar if you pick and choose the individual candies. Always a stop on our Cape vacations! read more

Delicious Carmel popcorn with drizzle of dark chocolate wonderful good sized package wrapped up nicely to give as a giftn

This place has a great candy selection with nice and caring workers who will help you with finding the right candy for you. I 100% recommend coming here. PS there are great prices read more

This is my kids' favorite place (only place) to go to get candy when we're down the Cape. We've been coming here since my kids were toddlers and they are teenagers now. It's not an overly large place, but it is stuffed with all sorts of candy. There is a ton of flavors for their taffy. It is always fresh. There is a large selection of jelly bean flavors. They have new types of candy and blast from the past candy you have trouble finding. We never leave without getting one of their lobster lollipops. I recommend this place for all you sugar needs. read more

Great nostalgic candy store with an amazing staff! Thank you for brightening my day with your sweets and kindness.

Want candy new and old school to bring back to people, this is the place. We swing by every visit to buy treats for our dog sitters. read more

This is the best candy shop I've ever been to. They respect the nostalgia of candy and cater to your specific needs. The store is truly magical. I get to reminisce about my favorite candies as a child with my own kids and they cover all the bases, from foreign imports to fads and nostalgic classics. They are also extremely knowledgeable, if there something you're looking for they're going to help you find it... I can't say enough good things about this little family run business. What a great place. read more

Great nostalgic candy store! Brought back memories of penny candy when I was a kid. Everything from squirrel nuts, to truffles, to jelly belly jelly beans, to homemade fudge. Even has a great selection of sugar-free candies. Definitely a place to drop by and buy a few candies! read more

Busy during the peak Cape seasons but a crazy-wide selection of goodies. Great tasting fudge as well, but they don't have a large selection of Willy Wonka candy, which disappointed our group. Other than that though, they have tons of retro candy, throwbaaaacks! read more

Awesome little candy shop. The girl working was extremely helpful and let us sample a couple things before we purchased. Great place to visit if your a vacationer and wants something you can't find in a big box retailer. Would stop back each trip to the Cape! read more

Great selection of candy although some of it was rather pricey. Lots of candy memorabilia like Star Trek and USA Presidents PEZ dispensers which was awesome. You must try the fudge if you make a stop here. There's a sign here that says "Cheap fudge is not good and good fudge is not cheap." The owners were rude and greeted everyone that came in before and after my wife and I but not us. read more

I went here with my family a few hours ago. I got some salt water taffy, jelly beans, and chocolate. There's an amazing variety of familiar modern candies, unusual candies, and old fashioned candy. The building was nice and organized. The prices are a bit high but still affordable. The staff is super nice too. I highly recommend this candy store over any other in the area. read more

We happened upon this place on our drive home. The colorful building drew my eyes in so we decided to quickly stop. As most have said, there is a lot to choose from, but all of it is in bulk. That means you are buying anywhere from $2-$3 worth of a single piece of candy. For us that wasn't a problem as we tend to only go with a couple types anyway; this was just an excuse to buy MORE of each. I must say, all of it was fresh. One of my favorites, that I feel nobody else likes or ever buys, is 'Bit O Honey'. As a result, they are, more often than not, hard has rocks. These were the perfect consistency, wonderfully chewy. My wife found some grapefruit slices, which seem to be pretty hard to find. The closest she usually gets is the orange slices which are much thicker, obviously not grapefruit, and therefor mostly disappointing. They also advertise 30 flavors of saltwter taffy. In my experience, this product can be hit or miss at any location. Unfortunately it was no exception here. Some of what I assume are the more popular flavors (chocolate, vanilla, peanutbutter, fluffernutter) were wonderfully soft and obviously fresh. Some of the fruity flavors were pretty hard; my wife called them 'crispy'. All in all the price was on par with saltwater taffy just about anywhere. The good pieces were quite good. The not so good pieces, well, they were not so good! The highlight of the store, for us, was the fudge. Allow me to strongly note that I am not generally a fan of fudge. We went with a piece of Almond Joy as well as Peanut Butter Chocolate. The almondJoy one had the flavor, but it was sort of falling apart due to how they layered it (coconut fudge, layer of just almonds, and chocolate fudge), but the peanut butter chocolate was to die for. It was soft as butter and had just a wonderful flavor. I actually wish I would have purchased more. All in all, a good stop, and one that I would make again next time we are in the area. There is so much to choose from one could literally buy a handful of new things every day and not run out of new treats for months! For those nostalgic about the "good old days", they also have some classic candies that I have only ever seen in super specialty shops. read more

While we were visiting we decided to stop here because they boast about having English candy. Well yes they do have English candy which I did buy some of. However we also encountered a obnoxiously rude manager. The store is laid out in such a way you can't tell where things begin and end. I noticed some bins behind an open counter accidently going beyond the sales floor. The girl behind the counter was nice and asked if there was something I needed. I said I was just looking and at that moment the manager said well you looked now get out and laughed. I guess he feels its ok to be rude and granted most of the people he deals with are just there for a visit. Which is partially true But Cape Cod is home to part of my family. I guess he doesn't mind loosing some business so he can act like a total jerk. read more

Best dang candy store east of the Mississippi, every old school and new school candy you can imagine. The owner is so nice and knows so much random stuff about candy...love it read more

Not the worst candy place I have ever been to, but definitely not the best. I expected candy in the bulk here. I suppose you sort of get that here, but instead of free-range scooping, you get the bulk pre-packaged for you. Sad Face. Can't complain too much though, because the gummy worms and my gummy frogs were soft and yummy. Candy for the whole family! My dad (who hates candy REALLY enjoyed the dried grapefruit sugary goodness he got) My mom got her wish for sour candy (in the form of sour jelly bellys and war head) My sister got her fudge (She didn't think it was very soft or fudge-like, but it did have a good flavor) read more

This is one of the best candy store around! They have everything! Locally owned and operated.The owner is super friendly and will go out of his way to find you the candy you are looking for. They wrap your boxed chocolates which is a bonus. It's like an old fashioned penny candy store however you will definitely be spending more than a dollar. Great place, new and nostalgic candies of all sorts! read more

What more could you ask for. A store full of candy. It's great because there are options for 8 cents and higher. I gave my kids a $5 bill and let them go pick what they wanted. It was fun and they walked out with a bag of candy. read more

I Have a thing for candy stores. I visit as many as I can when I go on vacations. Over the years I have been to about ten different candy store on the cape. This one is the best by far. The selection of rare, foreign and nostalgic candies is like no other. I absolutely love this store and it is always one of the main destinations on my cape cod itinerary. Don't waste your time with the others. This is the only candy store worth going to. read more

Have I died and gone to candy heaven? Loads of candy! Piles of candy! There is so much candy here I have to check if there is blood in my sugarstream when I leave. As others have stated the candy is organized neatly into different sections. They even have the UK and European versions of candy bars that aren't as easy to find. These items are probably the most fun to look at. Look to spend a bit of cash here. The prices are cheap but the quantities are so tempting you may end up buying more than you thought. The staff is friendly and the only slight issue for me this 2nd trip was a lot of kids there. This made the line a bit longer to get through. Then again, it is a candy shop. It's to be expected. This is one of my new Cape destinations whenever I go down. Now, off to a diabetic coma.......................... read more

The candy and nuts are great and they were kind enough to check ingredients for my grandsons allergy thank you

I've been going here with my family ever since I was a little kid.Almost every time we visit the cape we stop in its amazing it seems like they have every candy you could want and at good prices too.If your looking for a great candy places or your just in the mood for something sweet stop by here. read more

Cute little candy shop with a fun looking exterior. The inside is pretty filled to the brim with all kinds of candy. Not very neatly organized but relatively affordable. 4$ for a half pound of taffy you can customize. read more

Best candy shop on the Cape, hands down. They have a wide variety of modestly priced candies, all neatly organized inside this tiny shop. The owner is friendly and helpful, as is his staff. The fudge is AMAZING. read more

I'd do zero stars if I could. I called to ask if anyone would know what was gluten free because my kid has celiac. They said no - which I completely understand. So I asked if an owner or manager was around to help with brand names (so I could research) and the unbelievably rude answer I got was "you're his mother so you should know what's gluten free." Me and my extended family will never ever give one dime to this shop. That kind of rudeness to a kid that has a disease is unacceptable. And I spent $52 at your competitor that happily walked me around his shop and explained what was GF. read more

I haven't been here in years, but yesterday a friend and I took a day trip to the Cape and my friend wanted salt water taffy, so we stopped here.. VERY small shop with every kind of candy you can imagine crammed into it. Tons of candy you haven't seen since you were a kid and candy I'd never even heard of, I believe other countries versions of our candies.. Prices on the bags of candies, nuts, gum drops, etc were comparable with other places, the malted milk balls I bought for myself and the bridge mix I bought for my mom were both awesome.. very good quality chocolate.. the single candy bars were overpriced, you're paying for the nostalgia too.. The store was packed but the line moved fast, It was hard to see everything and I think if they had more space, they'd make more money.. It was so crowded that I pretty much grabbed what I wanted and got out, my friend did the same.. would have been nice to be able to browse.. enlarging the store would be a great asset and believe me, theres plenty of room to do it. The main reason for the 3 stars is because of the customer service.. The man that waited on me wasn't overly rude, but he sure wasn't friendly either and if there was another store that sold the same items, I'd choose that store over his. read more

We have come here 4 years in a row and the kids love it. The selection of candy is extensive and the fudge is good. Unfortunately on two separate occasions one of my kids had to use the bathroom. On both occasions we were told "sorry we don't have a bathroom." I understand if you don't allow non paying customers to use a bathroom, but when a 5 or 6 year old is dancing around to use the bathroom and the parents are holding $20+ worth of candy they are about to buy, thats just plain cold hearted. Your business caters to children but yet you refuse to let a child use the facilitates. We will be finding a different venue to replace this yearly vacation ritual. read more

I've been coming to the cape for years and have always bought candy here~ I won't go back after today I asked about rum cordials and a man who worked there snapped an answer at me in a very nasty tone and then he went into the back room. A very nice teenage girl was trying to ring up customers and wrap gifts while a long line formed. Mr Nasty would still not come out from the back room --the sales girl had to go and get him. He came out and was very condescending to her about the way she wrapped the gift and ripped the paper off and redid the wrapping I hope the man wasn't the owner of the shop ....He was between 55- 60 years old gray hair about 5'8" and rude ) There's no reason to be so miserable ~ a candy shop should be a happy place. read more
