Grandpa Joe's Candy Shop is a small chain of specialty candy and confectionary stores that opened…read morein Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 2012. It was founded by Christopher Beers. The name of the chain is a reference to Grandpa Joe from Roald Dahl's 1964 children's book "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". After the success of the original 900-square-foot store in Pittsburgh, other locations began to pop up in the surrounding areas. Each one is stocked with over 250 candy bar varieties, nostalgic candies, 250 flavors of old-fashioned glass-bottled sodas, and even novelty gifts. As of this writing, Grandpa Joe's has 21 locations spread out over five states (mainly Pennsylvania and Ohio). My family and I visited the Grandpa Joe's location in Bethlehem (opened October 2019) this past summer while we were visiting relatives in the area. We came across the storefront as we were exploring Main Street. We really liked the name of the shop as well as all of the decor. The interior was loaded with every conceivable candy variety that you could think of: chocolate bars, jelly beans, gummies, hard candies, gum, fudge, lollipops, taffy, etc. Many of the candies were ones that I haven't seen, or even thought about, in many years. They also had quite a few novelty and gag gifts. My wife and I let our sons pick out a few chocolate candies to take back home. What really impressed me was the large selection of old-fashioned sodas that were in stock. One of my favorite soda brands is "Sioux City", though I often have trouble finding them. Grandpa Joe's had the largest selection of Sioux City sodas that I've ever seen under one roof. I made myself a mixed six-pack to take home. Whether you're looking for your favorite candy bar, hard candies to make "goodie bags", a funny gag gift, or a nostalgic candy that you haven't seen since your childhood, then you need to make a trip to Granda Joe's!

Oh my gosh this place was fantastic. Not a huge ice cream fan but my family is and they all loved…read moreit. Meanwhile, it was the best ice cream I've ever had. All 6 of us had something different and every person said theirs was incredible. The waffle bowls are great as well (said teenager). But the ice cream is so smooth and creamy. And it's a neat little shop as well. Nothing special and a little tight by the doors with big crowds but nice and clean and in a unique building.

Great ice cream, wide selection, and wonderful cakes and pastries. The quality of the products is…read moreconsistently excellent. The only downside is the service can be hit or miss. For example, I spent about $10 on a couple scoops of ice cream and didn't receive a greeting, a smile, or even a "thank you." The young man serving me wore gloves and had beautifully painted fingernails, but the experience felt unwelcoming. He also seemed bored and disengaged, as if he would rather have been somewhere else. Perhaps that was true. I also want to note that saying "have a good day" is not a substitute for saying "thank you." Customers should feel appreciated for their business, not just processed through a transaction. I don't blame the individual employee as much as management. A simple hello when customers walk in and a genuine thank you after payment would go a long way toward enhancing the overall experience. With just a little attention to customer service, this place could be outstanding.
