My friends and I went in today to look for candy to eat during a movie. The 10% discount for…read moreshowing a movie ticket was much appreciated. We arrived early and our movie didn't start for a few more hours, so we decided to kill some time at My Candy Fix and the next door GameStop. While in My Candy Fix, I noticed they had Sno-Biz snocones. We got some candy and walked around the mall a little bit before returning. I got a small size snocone and had to wait a little while as the cashier had to tend to other customers. Once the other customers were helped, I got my cone, and John offered to put in some extra to compensate the wait. One of my friends wanted to know what the snocone syrup tasted like, and offered to buy a small size without any ice. John told him that there was no need to pay, and gave him a "shot" of strawberry snocone syrup. After that, my other friend wanted to try the Rube Goldberg-esque gumball machine. Towards the end of the gumball's ride, it fell off the track. It still fell into the dispenser, but we still wanted to know what happened at the end. That's when John came over and put in his own coins to see why the gumball fell off. After finding out, he too a gumball from the top of the machine and put it on the remaining part of the track so we could see how it ends. And he also let us keep the test-gumballs! Overall, my experience was incredible and without John, it would've just been another run-of-the-mill candy store. But John made my friends and my experience worthwhile, and I'll be sure to drop by again.

There was a unique, small hand-crafted selection. I purchased marionberry truffles (because, Oregon), pumpkin spice caramels and maple caramels - made with real maple.

They were featuring a variety of truffle that they didn't even have in stock, and it took forever to find the different varieties under the counter to get the assortment I wanted.

We went into town and found a nice café, I wish I could remember the name, we had a nice lunch. It was small and I still wanted something sweet. We googled the nearest See's Candy and guess what? It was one block away. We went there and were given two samples each! Upon which we bought more than we intended to. We went back to the RV and made a delicious pot of decaf coffee and savored the remaining pieces of our See's Candy together as we watched a streamed WI-FI movie. The manager was lovely and kind and asked us all about where we were from and what we were doing in Salem. Definitely look into stopping in at See's on the Main Street area on Liberty St NE. You may have to drive around twice the block to find a parking spot. But you will find the staff friendly, warm, and inviting at the Salem See's Candy. As always a free piece of candy too!

Best popcorn ever! Friendly staff, lots of other treats as…read morewell, but the popcorn is my favorite!

I first became aware of this business when a work colleague brought bags of their popcorn to work…read more I was impressed with the popcorn and so it went on my list! The store is packed with decorative tins you can select to contain your popcorn if you are giving it as a gift. Also there was a bunch of unusual candies on offer, as well as fudge. But I was here for the popcorn. The selection is huge! Sweet, savory, spicy, tangy, it's all represented here. Service was super relaxed and friendly. They were patient with me while I perused the extensive menu. If you aren't getting a tin for the popcorn, they sell it in bags. There are a bunch of different size bags, and I liked that there are smaller (but still generous) sized bags that enable you to try a variety of different flavors. I went with white cheddar, Chicago mix (caramel and cheese), spicy pickle, Jalapeno ranch, peanut butter chocolate, and Oreo. All were so delicious! Every kernel was packed with flavor. The popcorn itself was fresh and with zero unpopped kernels. The seasonings were all just right, not too much or too little, and evenly adhered to the popcorn. So addictive! The service was super nice, and the prices not too bad. I think they deliver too. I grabbed a menu because I will definitely be back! Such a great place to have here in Salem. Great for treating yourself or picking up a gift.

I am giving this place 3 stars because every time I have gone in, in hopes of purchasing something, the rude older woman makes me uncomfortable to the point where I leave. She does not acknowledge you, almost glares at you. About a month ago I walked in only to see and hear her in the back doorway almost chewing someone out over the phone. I felt uncomfortable and left. Very unprofessional and that woman has been there for years. The storefront was not staffed because she was telling someone off on the phone in the back. Not a good look. I'm a manager and that is very poor service.

I was disappointed that they only offer the tours on Saturday, I don't plan on going to Salem on Saturday anytime in the near future, but you can see the workers through the glass with all the equipment that makes their absolutely delicious chocolate! I could tell the workers were having a fun time while creating said delicious chocolate, they were singing and laughing! I tried a sample of their nutpuck and the seasonal pumpkin spice, both delicious! I ended up getting both of the those flavors to take home and also the chocolate covered pretzels. I also got some of the white drinking chocolate..so good! I plan on returning to try the other flavors of drinking chocolate!

The food was outstanding, and the cheese was on another level. Being able to sample all of their different cheeses before choosing was such a fun experience, and every single one was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. You can really tell how much pride and care goes into everything they make. My pictures honestly do not do this place justice--you have to experience it for yourself. If you're anywhere near the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. Amazing food, amazing cheese, and some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. We will definitely be back!
