Maumee Valley Chocolate and Candy is wonderful. We were walking along the riverfront park and I saw a sign that said chocolate, so I walked over here to check it out. This store has so much candy! Lots of retro candy, plenty of foreign candy (multiple flavors of Kit Kats including flavors of chunky kit kats, hi chews and some other Asian candies (a bunch of options, but I can get all of them in Chicago's chinatown so I didn't pay attention), Aero bars, Terry's oranges, and other British candy. There were so many retro candy options, plus every kind of candy you've ever heard of. (I eat too much candy, and know a lot of types of candy and I was blown away by the options). They also had lots of types of pop, but I didn't pay much attention to them. I wanted my sugar in chocolate form. I am a chocoholic, and I was very happy to find this place. I got some creams from the case (dark chocolate raspberry cream, orange cream, strawberry cream, vanilla cream). They were delicious. These are better than my former favorite Fannie May (which sadly isn't as good as it used to be). I also got some chocolates in the bulk chocolate section. The chocolate covered cherries are amazing as is the chocolate covered orange peel (though jellier than I was expecting inside). The chocolate covered pecans are fine (but I don't usually get these so maybe chocolate covered pecans aren't my thing). The store is cute! It had a Lego Willy Wonka set! This place is in a good location. The staff were friendly and helpful. read more

Maumee Valley Chocolate and Candy is Toledo's best retro candy store. Hell, I'll go so far as to say that it's the best candy store in town. Period. There was a time that title belonged to Boyd's, but Boyd's has been slipping for a while now. Walk in here and you'll find every kind of candy that you could want. The candy selection is flat-out unparalleled. Bun bars, Necco wafers, saucers, Zero bars, salt water taffy, the cheap-but-still-damn-good Willy Wonka stuff - you name it. If I ever saw it in a candy store as a kid, it's sitting on a shelf in this place. They've got the "finer" items, too: solid milk chocolate, actual truffles, bonbons, the works. Sugar free stuff? Yeah, that too. And the retro/craft pop ("soda," for those of you who never learned the proper word) is outstanding. Then, for a little depth, throw in a few kitschy tin signs and magnets, and few retro (think Scooby-Doo) lunchboxes. Oh yeah...they scoop their own ice cream too. Five stars, no regrets! read more

This is a great find while visiting family for the Holidays and it was right across the street from the hotel we were staying at. My sis is a great chocolate fiend so we had to stop by to get some snacks. Chicklets, Mambas, and a whole lot of nostalgia. My mom made sure we got a lot of items to bring back. It was nice to see lunchboxes, gourmet chocolate treats, and some interesting plushies in the store. The ambiance was laid back and we shopped without issue. I got some white chocolate dipped pretzel sticks and dark and milk chocolate sea salt caramel truffles. SO GOOD! read more

One of my favorite candy stores! Not only does it have old time favorites and newer candies -- they also have hand-dipped strawberries and serve scoops of ice cream. It's in such a convenient location along the Maumee River. Perfect for a candy or ice cream out stop while strolling along the river. read more

Maumee Valley Chocolate & Candy - He thought I said I needed some hiking shoes but, realized I was talking about Hi Chews when we got to the candy store, lol! - Candy Stores Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

This place is a trip down memory lane. I was in town for a conference and just noticed the sign on a whim. I am so glad I did. This place has cool nostalgic candy and puzzles and chocolate covered everything. There was vintage sodas and treats i thought i would never see again. The ice cream was a pleasant surprise. The signage didn't mention ice cream. I absolutely love ice cream and today was no exception. The gentleman employee was very kind and welcoming. Now to figure out if I have time to double back before we leave. If you find yourself in Toledo, definitely try this place out. read more

On my list of places to go to while in Toledo was Maumee Valley Chocolate & Candy. I love chocolate, and who doesn't love candy. The store has plenty of it! Chocolate covered items galore, candy as far as the eye can see. They also have mugs, puzzles and other collectibles nerds would love! They also have a huge amount of craft pop/soda for sale. I found Genuine Hank's Gourmet Irish Style Golden Ginger Ale, which is one of my fave ginger ales! It also has chocolate pieces to buy to create your own box of goodies! They were so good, they were gone by end of the day. I came back multiple times.... don't judge. Store employees are great! Very patient and friendly! Amazing store! Great Soda! Amazing Chocolate! You need to come here!!!! I certainly did... multiple times! read more

This was one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. The lady working there didn't greet me, didn't look at me, and didn't say a single word the entire time I was in the store. I honestly felt like my presence was a burden to her, which made the whole visit very uncomfortable. On top of that, she was coughing into her hands which is completely unsanitary, especially in a place that handles food. The prices also seemed very expensive for what they offer, and I ended up leaving without buying anything because not a single word was spoken to me. Overall, a terrible experience that I won't be repeating or recommending to anyone. read more
