This place is Amazing! The people are the friendliest, and you get to spin your own Cotton Candy

This candy shop in downtown Belmont is great! I mean, how can you go wrong with candy, cotton candy and jelly beans? This store is part of a three-part strip operated by Holy Angels, which, if you don't know about, should take a moment to look up. All the proceeds and such from this store go to Holy Angels and all the work that they do. This store has a bit of nostalgia with old candy from the penny candy jars, along with all of the candy you'd find today. They also have loose candy to build your own bags. The true excitement of this store lies in all the cotton candy you can find. From flavored packaged tubs to the freshly spun floss the size of your head. They also do speciality tubs if you're thinking favors for a wedding, birthday, etc. If you want to treat a little one, or even yourself, come visit this shop! read more

What an amazing store. Staff was so helpful and friendly. Hopefully regular hours will return soon. Belmont is such a great town to visit for a day trip and the Cotton Candy Factory is a must visit place. read more

I LOVE candy if you know me you know that and this was such a fun find coming to Belmont for the first time and seeing this shop. I walked around the Main Street which is charming and popped in to take a look. The shop is bright and colorful and full of all kinds of candy. There was tons of cotton candy many flavors which was awesome and little barrels of wrapped candies. Many options for Halloween and I am sure they do that for seasonal holidays with themed candies to pick up. I got my little bucket and filled it with all kinds of goodies from candies that were old favorites to trying a few news ones to some from the past. They also had little wrapped packed of gummies which I liked a good way to present them in portions. The pricing was done by weight and I was surprised at how reasonable it was for my bag total. Help was friendly and the candy was all fresh not one piece that was stale or too hard and that is a plus in my book! I would recommend this spot when you are in town. Enjoy!! read more

I absolutely love this place! I'm not a huge cotton candy fan, but this spot makes me change my mind. It is such a cute place with a wonderful mission. I loved all the bulk candy and spinning your own cotton candy is so awesome! I want to try all the cool cotton candy flavors some time, but so far I've only spun my own. The service was great and hard to be anything other than happy when you're in here! read more

This place was so simple, yet so fun! I felt like a kid walking in and I was astounded by the cotton candy flavors offered! You can even spin your own very large wand of original cotton candy! They have a massive gum ball machine in the front window of the shop that lines the quaint Main Street of downtown Belmont. I was expecting to see the stereotypical self serve scooping style bins of candy with clear bags nearby waiting to be filled. That wasn't really the case. This place focuses more on novelty candies and individually wrapped goodies. Some nostalgic and some trendy offerings are available. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the product. It's a quick in and out experience, but I highly recommend it. Especially for cotton candy lovers! I will definitely be back! I want to try every flavor! read more

Y'all. This place is so much fun! Its colorful, Seuss-style, whimsical decor and flavorful, fun cotton candy can't be beat! The Cotton Candy Factory offers 25+ flavors of cotton candy. They have regular cotton candy and organic options as well! I've tried Cherry Vanilla (my favorite so far), Champagne, Creamscicle, and Pina Colada! They were all quite different but all bursting with flavor! Their unique flavors are pre-packaged and displayed for purchase. There are additional (non-cotton candy) candies available as well. Children (and adults, for that matter) are afforded the opportunity to spin their own fresh cotton candy as well. I've never seen a kid in the store that wasn't grinning ear-to-ear! (Including me!) Warning/Reminder: The prices may look a little aggressive. A container of non-organic cotton candy is going to run you about $4.50. Spinning a cotton candy wand is $3.50. Were this an entirely ordinary candy store, that would be too much. However, knowing that profits benefit Holy Angels, I'm totally okay with it. They work hard to give back to the Belmont Community in many ways. Holy Angels does absolutely phenomenal work for those with disabilities & their families including providing employment opportunities through the Cotton Candy Factory, Cherubs Cafe, and their Candy Bouquet store! Any way to support them is always welcome in my book! (And when it ALSO comes with cotton candy...DOUBLE WIN!) read more

Where do I start.... First they awesomely employ people that are "differently able" from most. I love it! Secondly they have an amazing selection on cotton candy. ( The rose flavor was definitely a great surprise ) Thirdly they carry candy that you grew up with and can't normally find. It is everything you want in a candy store. They are extremely kid friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The interior is bright, inviting, and fun. We will definitely be regulars as long as they are open. If you haven't checked this place out you NEED to go. Support local business and show these sweet people love. You guys are wonderful, keep up the great work! read more

This was a cute place but I really wasn't fond of how one of the "cherubs operation director" (said on her necklace tag) treated 2 employees. She seemed angry and responded rude to them in front of us as we were checking out. It's unfortunate how a delightful experience can be changed by how people treat others. We got some candy, some was tasty some wasn't, which is just fault to taste buds not the place. read more

This is the most magical place in the world! I'm 27 years old, but something about Cotton Candy and candy stores in general just make you feel good and make you want to relax. The first time I ever went there was immediately after a pretty intense medical procedure and I was super bummed out and in a lot of pain. My mom knew it would cheer me up to make my own cone of Cotton Candy and it totally did. The smell of Cotton Candy always reminds me of my grandpa too, so it's just a weird little thing that makes me feel good and it made me feel better for a while and take my mind off the bad things going on. I love that it's only a mile away, it's affordable, and such a cute store. Thank you guys! read more

This place is wonderful! Amazing candy selection, colorful decoration & amazing staff! The customer service was outstanding - so welcoming and refreshing! I immediately fell in love the moment I walked in the door. I can't wait until I can get the chance to come back! read more
