We were introduced to Goodies by a family member who lives on West Lake Okoboji and we loaded up on…read morethe pecan turtles and milk chocolate covered toffee. We had one Turtle each and put the rest in the refrigerator. The next day, we packed and left and went back to AZ and we forgot our goodies! No worries, we ordered some online while driving three hours to the airport. We just received them today and they are incredible! If you don't go there, order them online! They are handmade and so delicious! Go there now or order online! You won't be sorry!

So this is an ice cream and candy shop right? Not only! I find their coffee to be the best in…read morethe area and go here for my morning coffee drinks. All of the candy is good but my personal favorite ends at the homemade caramel. They have the best caramel apples I have had anywhere, hands down. When I come to Okoboji this is my must stop for treats to bring back as well as my morning coffee. The service is quick and friendly. What else can I get here? Hot tea, greeting cards, teapots, colorful kitchen items, gifts, pie, cheesecake, cookies, homemade confections, nuts, ice cream and did I mention coffee? I am sure I missed telling you things. Go here. Have an ice cream cone in the afternoon. Life is more fun with a bit of a treat now and again.

Like a previous Yelper had mentioned in his review prior to mine, this is a great, old-timey candy…read moreshop, located within the Emporium. Came here to see if they would have some unique candies to the Midwest, and lo and behold, they did. I ended up buying a bunch of Caramel Cobs, which I've never seen out East. They made great "little" (little is in quotation marks because these things are actually fairly large for treats) gifts for my friends back home. They have a bunch of other candies as well. Well worth checking out, if you happen to be in the Emporium or near Arnolds Park.

We stop there many summers. This summer a kid I was with showed me the candy cigarettes available…read morethere. While the selection is generally very good, and the people generally pleasant, the clerks were completely unapologetic about selling candy cigarettes (and candy chew). This lead to a long discussion in the car and some disagreement about the appropriate behaviour in such circumstances. So, I won't be back. I'll get candy from places that are quite literally less likely to corrupt (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candy_cigarette). So, you can see this a 5-star review as well as a 1-star review, and if you are a proponent of candy cigarettes, they have the widest selection I've ever seen. They are also overpriced, but for the selection it's a good deal.

Needing an arrangement delivered to my awesome girlfriend for Valentine's Day, I called up Bloom…read moreFloral and ordered what I hoped would be a nice arrangement that would show her she was appreciated, without breaking my bank! They put together a colorful arrangement that she absolutely loved, and then delivered it to her place of employment by a guy wearing a tux! (Just remember she's mine, fella....) Bottom line, she was very pleased -- and Bloom made me look good!

Good candies and sour candies which we like, and they make good kind of traditional style old style American hard candy among other things, and I think they do a good job with it.

To Whom It May Concern:…read more I'm writing to express both my disappointment over a stale box of Jujubes and my concern for the prospect of mass gross mispronunciation of Jujubes as a result from the current spelling. First, on January 10, 2011, I purchased a 6.5 oz box of Jujubes from Blockbuster Video (Store #02743) at the inflated price of $1.99. As a long time fan of the Jujube, I stomached the price in hopes of enjoying my treat while watching the DVDs I rented. To my disappointment and surprise, I found the Jujubes to lack their trademark flavored gel pellet appeal and instead found them to be stale and utterly devoid of flavor. It felt as if I was chewing on empty pistachios. I'm hopeful that you might redeem my experience. While all true candy lovers know the proper pronunciation of Jujubes is Jew-Jew-Beez, it's become fashionable for some rabble-rousers to suggest that the correct pronunciation, given the rules of grammar, is Jew-Jewbs. Jew-Jew-Beez would require an additional E in the spelling of Jujubees. I'm inclined to agree with them. Would you please consider adding an E to the spelling of your candy so as to avoid any future confusion? Thank you for your consideration.
