There was a gentleman that worked here that gave me a random bag because he saw me carrying 10things in my hands. I appreciate the kind gesture and had to come on yelp to give my appreciation. We live in a world where i panic about not having a bag with me bc i refuse to pay 10cents.. and i always figure every store whether they like it not, will never give free bags to customers let alone a struggling stranger. So thanks. We also really loved the ice creams here. I regret not getting the eggnog flavor! I had a sample but my diet told me not to get a scoop and now my brain is saying it would've been worth it lol We will be back, time and time again. For the wine, the coffee, and the ice cream. read more

Just here for a scoop of ice cream. Long line on a Sunday with two employees scooping up sweet ice cream treats. The ice cream was very good and comes from a place in Santa Cruz. Lots of other stuff there besides just ice cream. Nice folks working there. read more

Large ice cream scoops and amazing lemon sorbet but... The person behind the counter just disappeared for over ten minutes, letting a line build up. Then, asking for an empty cup so we can avoid a melted ice cream "soup" disaster, I was quoted 20 cents. Really? 20 cents for a paper cup?! Shame. read more

Omgosh their ice cream is SOOOO DELICIOSIO!!! I got the purple color as always cause why not? It tastes OMEGA good LOL. There's cherry and mint chocolate which is a SUPERB combination. Must try for yourself! Recommend 100 percent. read more

This is an unexpected find on a long journey. We walked around and shopped and a delicious ice cream. The flavor was called Heaven. It was pricey, but given we were traveling, it was a welcome treat. read more

Casa de Sweets is located next to Casa de Fruta and I usually stop here if I'm in the area. I usually come for the candy, pastries and ice cream. On this trip, I opted not to get any ice cream, but did decide to get some candy and pastries. My wife enjoys their muffins, so she picked-up a cranberry lemon muffin. I picked-up a couple of their apple turnovers, but they were out of their mini apple pies this time. I also bought milk chocolate raisins, double dipped chocolate peanuts and chocolate gummi bears. They don't call this place Casa de Sweets for nothing. read more

Cool little dessert shop to stop in! Ice cream was I think $4.50 for 1 scoop! And $2 and additional. I must be old cause that seems pricey! And they didn't even have every flavor stocked! Coffee was just basic. Not really high quality. The staff were all polite and very helpful! The pre packaged sweets were delicious! But again a lil pricey. All the novelty stuff inside was actually cool! Big variety of cool things, nothing generic! We got on the train ride and my little kids liked it. They also got the lil mining package which they liked doing all on there own. Overall I think we'd come back to spend a few hours here and now knowing what's what. read more

Recently visited this place again and I saw actual RATS running through the store! The older lady in white who I'm guessing was the manager came up to my family and I and she smelled horrible!! She also also followed us around the store like if we were stealing which made us feel extremely uncomfortable. Sad to see how bad the service has gotten in less than a year that I visited. read more

Came here to grab a coffee. I got a small soy latte. It was horrible - too milky with no taste of coffee whatsoever. Not sure if it was the brand of soy but there was an odd taste. Store itself offered a variety of things - stuffed items for kids, puzzles, candies, chocolate bars, fudge, etc. read more

Casa de Sweets - Small soy latte $3.75 + tax - Candy Stores Near Me - Hollister, California

I have been coming to casa de fruit for decades. Love casa de sweets and everything it has to offer. I would be nice they would have endless pastries but it seems like they only make a batch for a day. Have come to find zero of their famous items like cream cones or cherry pies. read more

I purchased a Santa fe latte? Or something like that there.. Prices are beyond reasonable when it came to the coffee... $3 for their small size. Which was really a medium if anything. However, the coffee beans they used for the lattes were very burnt tasting and dark.. I would have expected way better beans from a boutique style store. Also... It would have been nice to know there were no bugs inside their glass storages... And also nice to maybe get rid of some, if not all of your flies? There were many flies everywhere... That's pretty gross considering all the candy were exposed to the air, which allowed the flies to land on them. There was a small red bug that was having a blast running around the chocolates behind the glass. read more

"You know an odd feeling? Sitting on the toilet eating a chocolate candy bar."―George Carlin Casa de Sweets (CdS) is part of the Casa de Fruta (CdF) family of roadside stands/attractions that has been drawing in locals and road weary travelers for over 100 years. CdS focuses primarily on getting people their sugar fix as they primarily sell bulk candies, chocolate covered nuts/fruits, sweets, pastries, homemade fudge and they even have a café inside. We swung-by the other day after many, many years to see what we've been missing. Candy- Grabbed a small sampling of about six different kinds of chocolate covered nuts, fruit and other confections, and honestly none of them really blew me away. If I had to pick one winner I'd go with the Cashew Caramel Turtles, but it's pretty hard to screw those up. The chocolate on most of the products tasted cheap and waxy, definitely not on the level of See's or Ghirardelli. 2.5* Service- The folks working inside were all really friendly and helpful, but my interaction was very minimal. 4* Ambiance- I love the nostalgic look and feel of this place. The wood interior and carousel horse in the middle of the store really provide a welcoming atmosphere. Everything about this place screams "fun." 5* Value- The candies range from $13-19/lb which means the total cost can rise faster than you think. I estimated about $30 with all my stuff―but it was actually closer to $50! They don't provide any scales for you to check yourself, so be aware that some of these candies are heavier than they look. For example the Coconut Haystacks were a whopping 4oz/ea and just two of them cost me almost $9! Considering everything tasted "cheap," this wasn't their strongest feature. 1* Honestly if it wasn't for the nostalgia factor I would say to skip CdS, but if you're here with the kids and visiting CdF it would be hard to not bring them here for some treats. I would much rather spend $40 at See's and get a higher quality candy at a better rate. This definitely falls under the "tourist trap" category, but when in Rome... read more

If you're looking for sweets don't expect too much here just your average variety Target type Suites. They have your standard chocolates most of which is packaged a gelato and ice cream stand inside and super slow service. They have a small coffee shop as well where they brew specialty coffee drinks, or there's coffee on the top that's been sitting there for god-knows-how-long. I bought a couple of chocolates but they tasted rather stale, also I don't know how long they been sitting in the case. My friend had the gelato and it was quite icy, and my horchata ice cream was super sweet and not worth the price. read more

They say they close at 8pm but really what their sign should say is, we close the store at 8pm but we stop scooping and serving ice cream at 7:40pm (20 mins early!) If you advertise what time you are closing, you should serve your customers until then. read more

My friends and I went here to try out the ice cream. they only offer ice cream scoops, no option to get it as a milkshake. that's fine, we thought. The girl at the counter would not allow us to sample the flavors when we requested. to me, that's strange since every other ice cream shop I've ever been in has been more than willing to have me sample their flavors. the ice cream was pretty mid for the price. maybe that's why they wouldn't let us sample... read more

Haven't been in here for a while. Nice place to stop on those long drives. Ice cream is the best way to cool off and relax before getting back on the road. Lots of tasty treats to choose from. Even some old school Pop Rocks. read more

This ice cream was very very bad melted right away and was very nasty, for the price as well not good overall!

Casa De Sweets! What a terrific name for a business! It is actually part of the giant conglomerate called Casa De Fruta in Hollister, CA. It has its own separate structure a bit towards the back of the main property. I went inside hoping they would have baked goods and ice cream. I was not dissapointed! They had all that plus much more! They serve Marianne's ice cream from Santa Cruz! One of my favorite brands! Got me a scoop on Pumpkin Pie ice cream. Absolutely enjoyed every spoonful of this seasonal flavor! From their bakery case, I tried a Pumpkin tart (forgot the exact name). It was decent, but I would pass on this one next time. The Mini Apple Pie was a better choice. It was delish! Surprisingly, the prices were not steep for most of the stuff I saw. Service was polite. There were tons of other choices for sweet tooths to purchase. Yeah, I would stop in again. I recommend that you do the same, if you need to satisfy your sweet tooth! read more

Another nice visit, staff is very friendly there, the store has so many newer things to look at and is set up so nicely! I liked that this time there was some more affordable stuff so my kids got to take home a little something read more

They have peerless coffee from the bay which is a plus! Although pricey- you can get your fix of all sugary confections, ice cream, popcorn and lots of odds and ends. They have the cute stuff like marvel/ dc comic mugs and other things if you are looking for a small gift from your travel ventures. I picked up some salt water taffy and cranberry almond toffee caramel corn. All of this is now gone thanks to coworkers. It is a good pit stop if you need to stretch your legs. read more

My hubby and I had a relaxing day here and we enjoyed tasting their wines as well as their delicious deli sandwiches, we bought a fresh apple pie and took it home for the kids and we ended up buying a bottle of their plum and pomegranate sparkling wine! They have a variety of nuts, fresh baked goods and dried fruits! We really enjoyed this place! Thank you Ken for all your help and all the nice employees there too! There fudge is a also amazing!!! read more

I used to go here on weekends just to relax, and always seem to end up in the cottage of sweets. So many kinds of sugary delights. My favorite thing was to have a slice of ollaliberry pie a la mode. Fresh from Gizdich Ranch. Best pie I have ever had in my life read more

Stop by Casa de fruta on the way home have been doing this for years it's one of our favorite stops. However I have to give them on 2 Stars only because I like tha place but customer service wise deserves a 0. Angie who works there was very rude I feel like she needs additional customer service training.. read more

I purchased a struddle and one of their half pies just to compare the two, both in the blueberry flavor. I absolutely love their half pies the fruit to crust ratio is perfect and very delicious!! The struddle on the other hand could have definitely uaed a bit more fruit in it, but the flakeyness of the dough was perfect. The staff was awesome especially since i did not realize they were ready to lock up for the night. read more

Had the 24oz Caramel Blended Mocha with Soy for $5.75. Jeez, why are you charging Starbucks level prices? It's about $1 overpriced here. Casa, I suggest that you lower the price 50-75 cents. read more
