The shelves are packed with an impressive variety of candy--from classic chocolates to fun, individually wrapped treats you don't often find anywhere else. They also carry small gifts, unique goodies and an antiques in the back, which makes it a fun spot to browse whether you're shopping for yourself or looking for something to take home. Even though we didn't end up buying anything this time, we really enjoyed wandering through and taking it all in. It's the kind of place that brings out your inner kid and makes you smile. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area and want to experience a bit of local flavor and charm!

I've only had their Italian ice and cupcakes here which is always delicious! They have a good selection of ice flavors and a medium is $3.25 for up to 2 flavors (pictured) and enough to share between two people. They also have a smaller size (1 flavor) and large (3 flavors), I don't remember the pricing but it's all under $5! The flavors are so accurate, fruity, and not overly sick and the quantity is amazing for the price. Watermelon is my absolute favorite. Their cupcakes are also my favorite. Light fluffy cake base with whipped sweet frosting. They sold out today so I wasn't able to see or remember their flavors but they usually offer a range. My only wish is that they were open for longer hours during the week, sometime it's hard to stop by!

If you are in the Meadows of Dan area and you have a sweet tooth, this place is a must! They had so many kinds of candy that I swear I gained a pound just imagining all I'd be eating. Lots of chocolate, lots of fudge, lots of different candies that will definitely satisfy what you'd want. Go check this place out. The employees were so friendly and engaging, they definitely made me feel appreciated for being there. Thanks!

Service is good despite the lines. One bite of the Orange creamsicle fudge made me feel like I had jumped in a Time Machine taking me back to 1980 when I would patiently wait on the ice cream truck in the summer. The sea salt caramel fudge gives you both the salty and sweet fix while the maple nut fudge is like eating maple nut goodies which were my Dad's favorite treat at Christmas. If you're lucky you may see them making all of this yummy goodness. Definitely stop in!

They had worked hard to stretch the hard wrapped candy throughout the store to make it look fuller. The prices are average for a candy store. I got a Jack Daniels truffle.

If you are looking for those hard to find sodas or your favorite from your home state, Rocket Fizz…read moreis the place to go. They have a huge selection of sodas from grape soda to cream sodas to some bizarre flavors such as mustard. They also have a large selection of candy varying from specialties from other countries (Japan, England, Canada) to hard to find and old time candy. It's definitely a fun little shop and worth checking out. The only negative I would have is that it is pricey, but still worth the visit every now and again.

I only ended up getting some penny candy that I haven't had in a while, it was 15 for $1, again pricey! They had the viral Asian fruit ice creams, cheesecake slices which I believe were about 10/15 dollars per slice.... They had candied grapes a lot of candy that you probably haven't seen for ages. Asain snacks such as chips, sodas, etc. So it's worth a try, especially if you've been craving candy you haven't seen for a while. The store is small, but has a nice layout. The lady at the counter was nice. Will I be back, probably not. But, I am happy that I finally came! Give them a shot!

I highly recommend this small business.

We bought candy here last night and had to go back to get a refund. Everything including the…read moreprewrapped was old, hard, and disgusting. We ate one bon bon thingie, (59 cents) and TRIED to bite the sour rope but it was too hard. We paid $15. When we returned the man politely said he'd give a refund and promptly said he give me $13 because we ate a lot of the candy and the weight was different. I said no we had our 1 thing and I'll pay for that but that isn't $2 worth. It's 59 cents. We went back and forth and he finally gave the whole $15 back and charged 60 cents for the bon bon. We will NEVER go there again. Old candy, bad service. I really think he was trying to scam, thinking he could convince me we somehow ate $2 worth of candy in the 20 seconds we'd been out of the store. Unfortunately Yelp makes me give 1 star, otherwise I'd give none.

I wouldn't shop here on the regular but if I were looking for something unique and catchy, this is your place to go to grab something "out there". They also have a pick and bag area where you can take as little or as much as you want of candy, candy of all sorts. Stop by and see what crazy things the candy world has come up with!
