I recently visited Sweet Shoppe in Short Pump for the second time and unfortunately, my experience…read morewas just as disappointing as my first visit. While the candy selection is still splendid and delicious; the atmosphere remains unpleasant. The store continues to be run mostly by children, with their friends hanging around being rude and disruptive. It's clear that there is a lack of adult supervision, which really detracts from the overall shopping experience. I felt uncomfortable. The yute (in my Joe Pesci voice in my Cousin Vinny, lol You all don't know anything about that). I was hanging out with one of @we_hungryaf bloggers, who was also taken aback by the confusion. Despite the delicious candy, I cannot recommend Sweet Shoppe due to the negative atmosphere. I love their peanut brittle, but both times I went, the yute asked me with a tone that indicated (in my opinion) something was wrong with it. He asked me if I was sure I wanted that Peanut Brittle, the one made with honey. if you're looking for a great selection of sweets in the RVA area, there are plenty of other options that offer a more pleasant shopping experience. #rvafoodie #yelpelite #candysweets #sweettoothfix #candyaddict #sugarhigh

I was lucky to find a parallel parking spot right in front of the building. This is a boutique shop, so they offer curated chocolates. I visited shortly before Christmas and my mom purchased sweets shaped like reindeer for my cousin's kids. Both of them tore into them immediately and basically inhaled them, so I'd say they liked them. I also bought a few different chocolates to try, and they were great. Prices match the quality, so they're not the cheapest option.

They have a pretty large shop, and it can get crowded depending on when you go in there. They usually have a lot of customers coming in and going. Their prices are a bit steep for my budget, but I'm not sure if that's because of the current state of the economy or if that's normal for them. I stopped by intending to purchase some chocolates for a friend who loves chocolate, but I just couldn't find anything in my budget. If you have the money, though, they are definitely a convenient one-stop shop for your chocolate needs! I can see the appeal and would encourage people to go in and browse. There might be something for you in there.

While busy, they are quick and very helpful. I'm always down for some black Australian licorice, and I always love that they have a few toppings towards that end. My kid loves the gummy stuff, and they keep it fun with all different kinds of Gummies to include smoothies style, body parts, sharks, rings, bears, you know ALL the squishy gummy stuff. But of course, don't forget the fudge, because if you do, you'll be sad! The truffles are fab as well, truly you really can't go wrong with anything here, they also have the hard to find stuff like Beemans gum and dill pickle cotton candy so options for the obscure seeker as well!

The burger wasn't weird tasting being it was a frozen patty. I would definitely get it again. Both funnel cakes were thick and sweet. I may have to try the donuts next time. The only complaint I have is when I placed my order the gentleman stated "Somebody sure is hungry". In my opinion that is an unprofessional statement to make to a buying customer. The store was not busy at all. I believe 3 other people came after I placed my order. Inside was clean and it is a bench to sit on while waiting for your order.
