me and my best friend walked into the candy store. We immediately got greeted the very sweet lady. I wanted to show her the candy store because Lindale is my hometown and she's never been in a candy shop. The shop was filled with countless amounts of candies chocolate & gummy's. me and my friends were trying to calculate how much we could get with the budget that we had, then the kindest lady walked up to us with a baby on her hip and said that we could get anything we wanted and she'd pay for it. me and my friend were in absolute shock because we had never had an encounter with a stranger like that before. we got 2 Dr Pepper truffles 2 Pink Pistol truffles 1 Cookie Monster truffle and 1 Key lime truffle we already ate the Dr pepper ones so there not in the picture and they tasted like a very cherry dr pepper i wish we had got the name of the lady that paid for our candy because i paid for my bsfs stuffed animal dinosaur and i lowkey wanted to name the dino after the lady but anyways, great service, VERY kind people, the ambiance of the place was very nice 10/10 read more

The shop was packed but very cute place. The candy was good. Prices are quite high.

What a great place. Delicious candy and the candy/caramel apples are the best in East Texas.

I've driven past here several times but never had the chance to go in. I finally stopped in, and they were making fresh peanut brittle! They gave us a sample taste, and we went in to checkout all they had. The employees were INCREDIBLY friendly which was so appreciated. We ended up buying about 25$ worth of candy, and I'm so excited to take it home and try it! read more

Was told the wife makes all the chocolate and the husband makes all the hard candy. Was such a neat place. This is a must stop!! I could have bought the whole store. Went for my kids and ended up feeling like a kid in a candy store myself they also do "shows" where you can watch them make things at certain times. Look on their fb page or call ahead. read more

Love the chocolate candy, peppermint sticks are the best ever and the staff is so much fun. When we arrive back home, friends and family are waiting for treat from the candy store. read more

They got new owners 4 years ago, this place is awesome. And they have treats that I've been looking for for a while, like the Brach's maple nut goodies. That Brach's is not making any more. They make a lot of stuff here in house. read more

Absolutely the best candy store ever I've visited. The interior is full of color AND CANDY! I ordered the chocolate covered strawberries which were amazing. Also tried the chocolate covered cherries, Dr Pepper truffles, and jalapeño peanut brittle! WOW! All served with a big Texas smile! Also had time to go around the side of the building to take a pic in front of their street mural. This will be a regular stop read more

March 23, 2023 My brother, sister in law and myself attempted to visit this establishment. We drove about two hours to arrive. Once we walked in, my 81 year old brother kindly asked if they had a restroom. He was told they didn't have a public restroom. He said I can't wait any longer. Again, was told no sir we don't have a public restroom. Was told to go drive down the road to a what a burger establishment. He could not wait so he had an accident in his pants. How embarrassed for this elderly man. So off we go to find somewhere to purchase him more clothes. I am furious the way my brother was treated. A kind gentle soul at 81 to be treated like this. I would never buy anything from this establishment, I will never recommend this place and if anything I would tell folks not to go there. As for as ambiance.... Terrible Marie read more

Seriously good. Sweet people and amazing candy. This was our favorite stop while in Tyler Tx!

I was given the hot cocoa bomb as a stocking stuffer and it is very good! The chocolate is very creamy. A lovely product. I was also given my favorite Christmas treat...ribbon candy. Very tasty and a beautiful product. read more

Cute candy shop with general and specialty gifts. Great experience. Unfortunately they were about to close so we didn't get to see them pulling the candy. Would definitely go back. read more

Visited the storefront on a sunny Friday afternoon and was welcomed by the sweetest (lol) staff and confections. The shop is celebrating their 75th year being opened and offered us birthday truffles as a thank you. We had a large party (11) browsing and buying yummy treats when we were invited around to watch the crew pull cherry lollipops! They recently installed windows on the side of the shop where the wonderful owners walked through their candy making and pulling process. Afterwards, we were offered samples!! Nothing like fresh and warm candy!!! There are murals on the front and side of the building that are perfect for pictures. Amazing time, friendly staff, and fabulous sweets!! Happy 75 years!!! read more

Just stopped by today for a box of chocolates. Love that you can select from the case which ones you want. Fresh peanut and jalapeño brittle to boot. They have a good amount of choices from jelly beans to lollypops to pecan caramel turtles. Yum! read more

Best little spot in town! Love the homemade chocolates and treats! Such a lovely atmosphere and super kid friendly!

best candy store i've ever been to! amazing chocolate treats and gummy candies. great prices for the quality.

Cute little family-run store well worth a few minutes detour off I-20 into Lindale. We tried several hand-made chocolates, which were all excellent and clearly made by a very experienced chocolatier. They also pull their own candy canes, one of very few places in the country to do so. read more

So I just found out they have a deli inside, I decided to give it a try. It's not a huge deli but I was very pleasantly surprised at the delicious sandwiches we got. Their gourmet bun was so good. And it is incredibly filling. Really enjoyed the quality ingredients! read more

Went in the other day and got some peanut brittle, it is high priced and not enough peanuts, also I like my brittle a little more on the soft side, think I will make my own next time, cost will be about the same and will get more brittle read more

The best candy store ever!!! No longer live near the area & hoping they'll start shipping all over. It's really that good!

Best homemade candy and treats. The place is so homey and lovely. Absolutely love the staff. Literally has a family vibe to it. Try everything. What's also great is you can place a holiday order for parties or ask for a basket filled with goodies to be made. read more

Thankful they are keeping our local traditions alive! The added chocolate bonus makes it that much more worth trying! You won't be disappointed in their customer service! read more

Im from California, visiting family and had heard this was a great shop so checked it out. Unfortunately it didn't live up to expectations. Amature at best. Immediately I could see most of the chocolates are just molds, which they didn't do a good job of hiding the seam. Also I could tell the chocolate was not tempered correctly (btw forgot to mention I'm pastry chef, trained in Spain) it had a haze to it, not very shiny. I had asked what brand of cocoa they use and was told they won't say. Which is suspicious, that makes me think it's either super cheap quality and or an immoral company. Any good chocolatier would be proud to explain their cocoa brands and how they blend. I've spent plenty of time in Europe and even areas with supposedly "snotty" chocolatiers like Paris. I've never had anyone refuse to tell me their brands. Got a few truffles and they were way too sweet, too thick of a "chocolate" coating and did not have much chocolate flavor which further confirmed my poor cocoa quality suspicion. It pretty much tasted like a candy melt. No shine, no snap. They also had weird stuff like a jelly belly display which, jelly bellies are good but why on earth sell something to compete with your product that you can buy in just about any gas station in the country? Their sugar work actually did look pretty good, the hard and gummy candies and such. There was also this strange little side room with extremely tacky/ cheap clothing and accessories (think leopard print crosses and blingy purses). Staff was nice and helpful with the exception of the refusal to say what cocoa they use. It's really too bad because it has such potential to be nice. They would have zero competition because there are no other chocolatiers in East Texas. read more

My grandmother used to take me 50 years ago. They still have the best peppermint sticks I've ever had. I live a long way away now, but phone in orders by mail. Still as wonderful as ever! read more
