Anytime I visit a new area and they have a candy store - I am stopping in! While in Placerville…read moreyesterday, I found T.W. Bonkers and knew we had to pay them a visit. The inside was pretty big and had wall to wall candy options - a huge taffy section, a Jelly Belly wall, old school candy and even Thrifty's ice cream! My husband and daughter shared a Rainbow Sherbet cone and my husband said it took him right back to his childhood. They offered a lot of my favorite sour candy, but in flavors I had never seen before -- they even had my favorite Swedish candy - Bubs! They had a little something for everyone - even stuffed animals and Nee-doh's! They also had glass counter displays of homemade chocolates and fudge! I walked out $70 later and have no regrets! Check them out!

Aside, I perused the entire shop: I decided purchasing sesame seed candy, hard hot mini-jaw breakers, and a myriad of taffy flavors for my sweet tooth hankerings. I just wistfully wish TWB made their candy they sell in-house like Grandma's in Virginia City, Nevada . . . Ho-humm~wishful thinking, eh?

Very kind service from welcoming to check out. It was a rainy holiday and they were open which was…read morereally nice for our family including child to explore the store. Very clean and variety of selections for young children to older explorers and creatives. We ended up getting strawberry scratch and sniff stickers and two Sanrio blind boxes. The workers let us know the Sanrio were new. Value is always subjective I believe but to us, the stickers will definitely be used, and the Sanrio figurines will be played with and appreciated. This was the second time I've been in this store, and overall, it was very welcoming, helpful, and fun ambiance. We'll be back again next time in Murphys.

this pokemon craze is beyondddddd…read more backstory: I can hardly keep up and with good reason, my first encounter with pokemon was when I was 11. I collected the cards, watched the tv series, tried to catch them all (iykyk). It's such a powerful creation that spanned pretty much my whole life. I no longer have that level of attachment to the brand, but it amuses me at times. This time, I was looking for booster packs for my brother. Yes, adult millenials are obsessed with the resurgence of pokemon cards to the point where they're sold out pretty much everywhere. So this shop carried boosters and boxes of the newer ones. but one of the boxes cost $130 which is pretty much over double what Costco sells it for. I did not purchase this one bc the price is plain ridiculous. But I got a few boosters for him and one of them ended up being a full illustration Pigeot! Good stuff. Just wish it weren't priced so high.

They have stuffed animals towards the front of the store. They have ravensburger puzzles too! The staff is really friendly and enthusiastic. They are informative about the items in the store. The price of items can vary. The stuffed animals were pricey but they are good quality toys. The puzzles are expensive too but that's because of the brand.
