My hubby and I stopped into this adorable classic candy shop while shopping in Manitou Springs. This place has all of the retro nostalgic candies - even candy cigarettes! Manny was so sweet - he greeted us and offered us samples of their house made fudge, including a jalapeño fudge! Everything was delicious, but we ultimately decided on the dulce de leche and vanilla, as well as a toffee bar and a turtle. Stop by and see Manny and splurge on a yummy treat - you won't be disappointed! ETA: after enjoying the toffee bar, a few bites at a time, over several days - my husband and I both agree that this was possibly best toffee bar we've ever had!!! read more

Amazing place. Stopped in and got a slice of rocky road fudge and upon tasting, immediately regretted not getting more because it is AMAZING. I also got a bag of 4 different gummy candies from their bulk bins and all were soft and fresh. You can tell their products are well cared for and not left in the bins too long. Prices are fair and staff is friendly! Lots and lots of different sweets to choose from, from old school candies to bins of saltwater taffy. Highly recommend this place! read more

Ok. I have a confession to make. I'm addicted to licorice. Licorice root, anise, fennel, star anise, all the above. And there's only one place I get my fix on - Goldminers in Manitou Springs. Everywhere else is: buy this bag with artificial flavoring, buy this bag of mass produced Aussie licorice, buy this box with a cute Panda Bear (ok, they're alright). But Goldminers has an entire make your licorice mix of 20+ varieties from all over the world ranging in softness, saltiness, sweetness, herbal tones, and shapes. For $8.99/lb. You like your's double salted? They got it. You like unraveling licorice pinwheels? They're your's. You like your licorice with some caramel in between? Done. And if you're not sure about what you want, they allow licorice samples. And they have so much homemade fudge made by the owner's brother. Fudge samples too. Are you tempted yet? Regardless, this is the #1 place I have found for licorice in Colorado and all my other travels. read more

Two words: Tiger Butter. This is my favorite fudge EVER so I almost squealed with delight when I saw it. We bought a pound along with some chocolate covered twizzlers. The woman that helped us was very nice (I didn't catch her name). We enjoyed everything so much, we came into town again for a second pound of fudge & more twizzlers. This time we spoke with Manny about shipping of the fudge & he was so nice and said definitely give him a call ahead of time if we'd like Tiger Butter shipped because he doesn't always have it on the line. We're from Chicago, so we don't have the ability to stop in whenever we'd like. But, I love that we have the option of supporting a small business from afar. We'll definitely be placing an order in the future to have some delicious fudge shipped to our home. read more

Walked in on a whim and the guy behind the counter was belting out "her name is Rio" to the Duran Duran song, smiled big, and started laughing. We were sold. The other guy behind the fudge counter was fun too. We told him we had just ate and he said "it's okay, it's just a little fudge" and started handing us samples....we bought a pound! It was all good, especially the salted caramel dark chocolate and the rocky road. We will go back! read more

If you are in the area, YOU HAVE TO GO HERE TO GET FUDGE. This is an extremely strong suggestion!! The owner's name is Manny and he makes the fudge every day. He's extremely hard-working and loves making fudge, candy, nuts, literally everything in his glass displays. He let me and my friends come into his store even after he closed and gave us so many samples. Of course, we ended up buying a lot of fudge just because it was so amazing. His seasonal fudge was Irish coffee, which is one of the ones that we got, and it was on the sweeter side, but it truly tasted like Irish coffee. If you love chocolate and peanut butter, you have to get that one because it is amazing and not as sweet. Also, he makes this orange creamsicle fudge, which sounds weird at first, but it actually tastes exactly like creamsicle!! I really was a kid in a candy store here, but everything tastes so good. He doesn't rely on people's love of sugar to sell his products, he relies on quality fudge. It's not so sweet that it drowns out every other flavor and if it's labeled as a certain flavor, it's going to taste like that. Side note: his candied almonds are also really good and he makes them right next to the counter, so they are extremely fresh. Enjoy your sweets!! read more

Well I'm sure glad they added the "& Candy" to their title or this would be a whole 'nother review. This quaint little candy parlor features eight different trypes of fudge, from the traditonal rocky road to the more exotic raspberry swirl. They were making jalapeno peanut brittle when I arrived! They also carry oddity old time packaged candy of yore, like "Zots", one of my favorites. The owners, Manny and Leslie, are really friendly and its just a charming place to indulge your sweet tooth. read more

Never have I seen/tried so many varieties of licorice. I must admit, they weren't all too my liking (some too chewy, some way too salty), but I was happy to try and discover some new favorites.

My dad and I are from Maryland (my dad is originally from Colorado) and we decided to go in this store last minute. I sampled a few pieces of fudge and I liked them all, but I went with the salted nut roll, it's to die for. My dad, plain old peanut butter. Both delicious. We walked around to see what else we liked. The whole time, I'm assuming the owner, was talking to us. Inquiring about our favorite things, asking us about our visit, just making sure we had the best experience. I had visited Manitou in the past, but I don't remember stopping in all the little shops. This personable experience is what lead me to this review. I'll definitely be back. read more

This place definitely gives off the western feel. Which is awesome. I love the decor…read more Pros: Walking in you feel like you took a step back in time. The wooden rocking chairs and bench tables. Plus you can't forget the giant wooden wheel. The staff was helpful in helping me decide as there was so many homemade flavors I had a hard time deciding. They explained a short backstory about the products, which is they are all made in house. I went with the 2 scoop Huckleberry and butter pecan. The sundae is huge. They really know how to make a sundae. Strawberry topping, whipped cream, sprinkles, nuts, and the cherry on top. I went with my standby of butter pecan, but I'm now wanting to try some other flavors. Cons: There really is no cons. There can't be with a friendly welcoming atmosphere. So no cons. Recommended? Yes. If your visiting St. Francis and want a retreat, go here. Or if someone got out and you want to celebrate, this is your place. Otherwise just make a trip here. I know I'll be back. My go to for ice cream.

Honestly? A bit underwhelming. Cost is undeniably cheaper than competitors like Josh & John's or…read morethe Milkshake Factory at Briargate. But I would pay the extra money. Atmosphere is cute. Order, pay, and they'll call your name. Very patriotic themed now for the 4th. Ice cream flavors themselves seem (and are) a bit bland. However, some of their specials seem good.

Ice cream and toppings were beyond sweet and on a diabetic level. Not sure what took so long but for the amount of time I waited I could've ran to King Soopers and picked up a gallon bucket at half the cost. The interior is really cool and inviting. The shop even leads into Denver Biscuit Company and it definitely seemed more lively on that side instead of the single person assisting us. Definitely an opposite experience from any Denver Biscuit Company I have visited. After the 20 minute mark I wasn't sure if they needed help milking cows or assisting with heavy machinery. If they told us "Hey, we're backed up a bit so it'll take about 10-15 minutes or a bit more to get your ice cream out" I would have been a bit more understanding...but we received no update while the customers before us finished their ice cream and left. Not returning any time in the near future and let this review be your warning. Great concept but the execution has left much to be desired.

Nice bakery with a large variety of pastries and cakes. We…read morebought a sampling of pastries and were very happy. The standout was the "mountain peaks." As a bonus, the bakery has a specialty food section with an assortment of sweet and salty licorice candies (fruit filled, honeydrop, and schoolkrijt were all good) which is a treat for those who like strong licorice. For five pastries and a bag of licorice we paid about $20, which was quite reasonable. Looking forward to visiting again and trying the apple torte.

There is plenty of seating in the dining area. They have a nice coffee selection. I opted for the Dutch Bullet Coffee. I also purchased an apple muffin, a coffee cake with walnuts and a cinnamon roll for a friend. They also have a small pantry area to purchase various Dutch bakery and other sweets. They sell plenty of Dutch pancake mixes too. Their bakery items in display cases are impressive. Plenty to choose from. They also offer various fresh baked breads. Prices are reasonable too. Staff is very friendly. I liked the female staff member who waited on me. Apple muffin was fantastic. It was moist and had small chunks of apple inside. Their coffee cake is one of the best I ever had. Overall, I was impressed. I would definitely consider returning here again.
