CANDY FOR ALL (3.75 stars)…read more All kinds of candy. Oldskool candy, newskool candy, and freaky-deaky candy. When there is a popular event happening downtown... okay; maybe that once a year event happening downtown (ComicCon) this place was packed with people for some reason even though there was nothing "ComicCon" about it. Maybe it's not the usual bar or restaurant in Gaslamp that intrigued people to come in. I went in because I simply love candy and wanted to see what they have. To my surprise... they had "a variety"... will leave that up to your imagination.

My family was excited to attend a signing event at IT'SUGAR during San Diego Comic-Con, especially…read moreafter spending over $400 in the store. Unfortunately, my experience was overshadowed by the way Kyle treated me. I was there with my 5 yr old and 8 yr old children and it was upsetting that this interaction happened in front of them. I was waiting for the signing and needed directions about where to go and what to do. Instead of providing clear guidance, Kyle gave me multiple different directions and was r, which left me confused and stressed about missing the event. When I asked for clarification, his tone came across as rude and dismissive rather than helpful. What made the experience even more disappointing was that he was noticeably kind and friendly to my husband but his attitude toward me felt completely different towards me. As a customer, I expected to be treated with the same level of courtesy and respect no matter what gender. Comic-Con is already a hectic environment, and customers rely on staff to help make these special events enjoyable. Instead, this interaction added unnecessary frustration and took away from what should have been a fun family memory. After spending more than $400 and looking forward to the signing, I left feeling disappointed by the customer service. After the confusion, I spoke with the actor and got my figure signed. They acknowledged that things were confusing and said something along the lines of, "Sorry for the confusion," and explained that things were a bit weird with how everything was being handled. Their kindness and willingness to explain stood in stark contrast to the experience I had with Kyle. Although thats not the interaction I was hoping for with the actress. I would have preferred a joyful meet and greet autograph as opposed to an awkward apology from the actress, who was lovely. I hope management addresses this so future customers are treated consistently and respectfully, especially when families with young children are involved.

Thought I'd hop in there to see if I could find some sort of cough drop or lozenge just in case I needed it during the theater experience. Also I was wearing a T-shirt that was somewhat political and I saw the owners' reaction when I walked in and his eyebrows reacted possibly involuntarily. Turns out they did not have anything cough drop related except peppermint or Lifesavers-type candy - which seemed weird in a place that has floor to ceiling nothing but candy but OK. So I got some peppermint and a couple of Laffy Taffy's, two little games and headed to the counter. The girl was polite and then the guy with the eye brow came over and told her how much to charge (none of the candy had price tags) - turns out my regular sized Laffy taffy's cost me four dollars each!!! WTF? They made conversation with me like "are you going to the theater tonight?" "I hear it's really good!" blah blah blah, asked me if I wanted a receipt ME: no thank you ME (thinking): there's always Yelp How do they get away with this? oh yeah we live in a capitalist society. go team!

I saw a sign that said they had cold drinks here so I was already sold. When you walk inside this small store, they have a lot of different candies. The drinks are on the right side of the store. They have different unique glass bottle drinks with different flavors. I was tempted to try the watermelon strawberry soda but I went with a cherry coke instead. They keep it in a refrigerator set around 45 degrees. The staff here are amazing and polite. The guy working there said he liked my Oakley Gauge sunglasses since he used to manage a sunglasses store and don't see the sunglasses I have often. They also validated my parking ticket too.

I went to a party where chocolates of various corners of the worlds where paired with the very local Stone brewery liquids and the one that caught my attention more was the sweetness of sweet Marcie Shapiro's chocholates.

Her motto is "connecting people through chocolate" and she is all about organic, renewable energy and Eco-friendliness:) After she informed that many of her creations can be found at Jimbo's and other local markets, I am going to check for this brand at the dessert aisles and who knows if I will then throw a beer-choco pairing party myself!

Chris made the kettle corn the morning of our party so it would be fresh. He has so many flavors, but I chose classic, strawberry, blue raspberry, and green apple to match the colors of my party theme. Everyone loved it! This is not your typical mall kettle corn. It's really light and crispy, not stale and sticky. Plus it's just the right amount of sweet for those who don't want their kids eating candy at a party or the adults who don't partake in the extreme sugar rush of birthday cake and fruit punch. Chris also offered us the option of setting up at our party and making it fresh for everyone. Unfortunately we already had a taco caterer so we were limited on space, but I'll definitely keep that in mind for our next event. I got so many compliments on what a great idea the kettle corn was. He even makes carmel flavor which might be my next personal order. :)
