BUYERS BEWARE!!!! - Prices NOT marked for a reason! - Candy is OLD and even EXPIRED - sometimes by YEARS! - They REFUSE REFUNDS and claim "their machine can't do refunds". Background: I wish we read some of the other reviews for this store before shopping here due to similar experiences others posted. My wife and I thought this shop and the owner were sweet when we first stopped by after a lunch in this plaza/decided to give them our business and bought a few small candy items for the kids for Easter. The total was VERY high - much more than we expected! The receipt wasn't itemized, and this put us in an awkward situation to ask questions or just accept the cost. We felt bad for not asking and decided to just accept the total but left the store feeling totally ripped off. When the kids got their candy on Easter, our son immediately said his first jelly bean "tasted stale and was really hard". Upon inspection, the "Use By/No Later Than Date" was a year old! We checked the rest of the candy and ALL of it/everything we had purchased was expired - some of it even had a "USE BY" date of 2023! Her shop is halfway across town from us, but we had saved the receipt and took all the candy back still wrapped/sealed (minus the 1 jelly beans container our son opened). The lady informed us "their business model is buying expired candy and re-selling it at a 'discount'. This was never disclosed. She assured us "the candy is still fine - even years later, but the chocolate might taste a little different"... She even suggested she has customers who "like the harder jelly beans because they like sucking on it and it softens after a while". Incredible! Finally, she said the "USE BY" date is simply a "SELL BY DATE". I pointed out "USE BY" implies consuming the candy or it would say "SELL BY" and that we would like our money back. She immediately said "her machine can't do refunds". Interesting, because her machine certainly took our credit card, but then she claimed she couldn't refund it? I asked if she could do a cash refund instead then. She refused. Full disclosure, she did offer for us to hunt for non-expired candy in her store to exchange for our return, but I reiterated we just wanted our money back, had our receipt, and all the candy was still packaged but expired. She refused. SUMMARY: BUYERS BEWARE!!!! This store re-sells EXPIRED CANDY under the name "Classy" Sweets (ironic) without disclosing this business model, DOESN'T MARK PRICES on items so they can mark them much higher/whatever they want at checkout (our fault for not asking first), and REFUSES REFUNDS - even if you bring a receipt and everything is still packaged. We definitey will NOT be doing business here again, and we plan to warn EVERYONE about this place! It's apalling there are still businesses like this. read more

Got some candy from there as a gift and it tasted old so I looked at the date and it was a year old 2024. I tried to call and it goes to a voicemail and I'm still waiting for a call back. My sister spent $70.00 there on old candy yuk! read more

Classy Sweets - Candy Stores Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

See all

Store is cluttered. Pushy sales strategy. Very expensive prices and worst part candy we bought is outdated and expired a year ago! Added an extra item into the bag that we did not want. Did not realize this until we got home. read more

Very disappointing. Jelly Belly was the store theme with limited selection. OVER priced candy, wish we went to the new candy store at Park Mall. Felt sorry for the owner located in the difficult strip mall which was lacking customers. A candy store has to be a tough business with candy everywhere and much cheaper. It was pointed out in the car ride home that the same candy could have been bought at Walgreens for half the price. I suggest a better selection and maybe loose candy to create a variety. Good luck Classy Sweets read more

Came here yesterday with a friend, and met I believe the owner? She was very nice but also very eccentric.. she told us that her jelly beans were fat free, and that the jelly beans with electrolytes in them were good for us. I dunno.. I'm not buying it as I think candy in general is terrible for you. I was only in there cause my friend wanted candy and probably a sugar high before she started her depressing journey of hw. I ended up purchasing a giant licorice black rat packaged by Jelly Belly as a prank gift for $3, and she ended up getting a small bag of chili mango jelly beans that were weighed out by the owner... jelly beans ended up being close to $6.00 for a tiny portion. Yes, the owner allowed us the sample some jelly beans, and etc and she was very nice, but I thought her prices were kinda expensive and her store could use a little more "class". Her items should be presented more nicely.. to attract more customers. There were also party balloons and tacky leis+things that I could find at the .99 cent stores in the back.. that didnt really leave a good impression on me.. especially since the store is called Classy Sweets. I'm unsure how much longer this place will stay open, even though it just opened about 4-6 weeks ago.. they really need to make this place look more inviting.. and less chintzy. read more

I just read Eleana H.'s review and it always baffles me why a person would take the time to trash a new store and why go into a candy store if you think candy is bad for you? I just went in there and had a very pleasant experience. There were 8 people in the store and I noticed that the owner gave everyone equal time. Everyone enjoyed samples and I noticed how knowledgeable she was about her candy. Candy is a pleasure and something to be enjoyed. If one doesn't like it or thinks it unhealthy, don't eat it. She had sugar-free, gluten-free and I was very surprised to know her jelly bellies were only $10 per pound. Target sells them for $14 per pound. She also had the most beautiful gift baskets that were custom-made and I was informed that she would deliver them. I will remember this for Valentine's Day, as they looked far better than any florist could do. She had a variety of things and it was worth the wait to talk to her and pick out the things I chose to purchase. Don't trash a person in a start-up business. She doesn't deserve that. I found her to be very kind and I will certainly return. read more

1st of all this chocolate shop& candy store is the best in town they offer the finest quality sugar free chocolates & candy that are amazing in taste!! You'd never be able to tell the sugar free from regular. The owners are so very fun & kind and they have so many different types of candy and chocolates from all around the world. I will happily pay more for some fine sugar free chocolate because it's hard to come by. I am all about supporting small local business and quite honestly ..To the people complaining, If you just want a piece of standard chocolate go to the Circle K. If you can appreciate fine chocolate from around the world and be able to taste the difference, then this is where you need to come. They have the cutest little novelty gifts depending on the season! They also will gift baskets and candy bouquets and party supplies.. I have no problem spending money on good quality things, yes candy being one of them. Go check it out. read more

A very strange candy store. Minimal selection and very expensive. My kids and I were disappointed!

$40 for 2 little 2 ounce boxes of chocolate truffles. The prices aren't marked anywhere in the store and the lady swiped my husband's card before we even had time to process how much they rang up for. She then said she had no way to reverse the transaction. I tried one of these $40 chocolates I was stuck with and they were disgusting so the rest are going into the garbage can. I hate feeling cheated more than anything else so what was supposed to be a quick little stop for a sweet treat ended up ruining my afternoon. I always try to support local small businesses (even if they are a bit more pricey) but my first impression was that this is a totally scamming, dishonest business. I wish I had read the yelp reviews of others who have apparently had the exact same experience because I would have never stepped foot in this place. I hope it doesn't last long taking up valuable retail space in my neighborhood. read more
