In this store I found almost every childhood candy that I didn't need! The displays were amazing and they even allowed taste testing of the newest freeze dried candy like Skittles and Milk Duds. The staff were super friendly (probably due to a candy high! The ambience is very nostalgic with old ads for candy all over the store. This store is definitely worth a visit when in Estes Park. read more

My daughter and I visited this candy shop last month on the search for some freeze-dried candy and they had a great selection of it! Other than the awesome selection of freeze-dried candy, which they let you sample one piece of, they had a TON of other candies as well. I had to get a couple things for myself as well. This candy shop is awesome and we can't wait to go back. read more

Blast from the past meets love of candy! I can't say how much I enjoyed being in this nostalgic candy store that was established in 1958! It was like walking thru time back to my kiddo days and beyond. I absolutely loved browsing this quaint little shop crammed with sweets from the past to present! They had some gag gift candy like elk and moose "poop." There was a dedicated section of Pez candy with beloved characters such as Hello Kitty, My Little Pony, & Harry Potter. They also had many chocolate bars with unique flavors, such as Pigs N' Taters (milk chocolate with bacon flavored bits and potato chips)! I saw some Harry Potter themed candy that I was so tempted to buy, but might not have the guts to open. Think perishable collector's items that I should eat :p And how can I not mention about the taffy? Chicken and waffle flavored taffy? Check! (You know I had to buy some of that lol) And if you're like me and can't just decide on a few pieces, you have the option to pick from an entire row of select loose candies to purchase by weight. The lady running the store let me view the original cash register that is still being used till this day! This candy store was nothing but pure joy and fun for me. I felt like a kid again lost in candy heaven xD So if you happen to be in Estes Village, support local, and let your inner child thank you :) read more

Brought back childhood memories to come across candy and sweets that were only around in the 90's. We found nostalgic items that made us think back to the time where life was so much more simple. We purchased quite a few bags of candy to take back as souvenirs and also to enjoy for ourselves. Definitely a candy store worth checking out while in Estes Park. read more

I LOVE freeze dried candy They had so many more selections of freeze dried candy that I have seen in other places or online. I got the freeze fried coke bottle candies ($9.98), freeze dried crunchy buttons, which is spree candy($9.98) and gummy mac n cheese ($9.20). We haven't tried the gummy mac n cheese, but I gobbled up the coke bottles and we snack on the spree candies. Definitely would recommend checking this place out. read more

A very cute designed candy store. They have a lot of old fashioned nostalgia candies being sold here. A few local creative candies as well. The prices are reasonable. You have to spend more than $10 to use your credit card . I saw many candy stores in Estes Park but this one stood out amongst the rest. It's was a fun little shop. read more

This place is so cool! I'm always on the lookout for old-fashioned candy shops and have really only stumbled on 3 or 4 worth any merit. So many options here!!! I had a really hard time choosing; I wish I could have taken a little bit of everything :( but alas I was limited to three scoops: one scoop of orange slices, one scoop of some awesome 90s Lego candies, and 50/50 scoop split of (milk) chocolate pretzel balls and dark chocolate covered raisins. The retro Lego candies were surprisingly pretty good (they're not too sweet and different colors are different flavors). I really liked the pretzel balls but they'd be perfect if it was dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate. And dark chocolate raisins are just always great. Needless to say, if I lived in the area I'd frequent this place quite often. :D read more

Congested inside but lots of different current and nostalgic candies. Store was densely stocked. Prices were typical for a touristy shop. It was hot in there, despite the portable air conditioner they had running. The chocolate candies were soft and melted in their wrappers. Staff was ok- not overly personable but not rude. read more

My kids behave like kids in a candy store whenever they are here. So do I. This place has the look, the feel, the service and the products of a real turn of the century store. If you like licorice they have the real stuff here, probably in a half dozen varieties, all smelling seductively of natural anise flavoring. The place is lined with scores of jars filled with all manner of candy confections. Sold by the 1/4, 1/2 or pound. I recommend a stop here for the atmosphere and the goodies. read more

Very long line on a Saturday afternoon. There was a lot of packaged candy, jolly ranchers, tootsie rolls, now and laters. I didn't see too much of a homemade variety which is fine! Got some dark chocolate covered espresso beans that were AMAZING read more

the owner of this candy store told me i can order online if i cant come into the winter so i might order some stuff from them, they have the best candy u can find when u were growing up too read more

This is the best'est candy store ever. They have candy here from when my mom was a kid (you know when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Seriously, I found candy here that my mom enjoyed 50 years ago. The good news is the candy doesn't taste 50 years old. My teeth are so happy I don't live close enough to shop here weekly but I wish I were closer to frequent it at least monthly. read more

This is a cute little old-timey candy shop. Candy is arranged in barrels and bins and containers in a very aesthetically pleasing way. I'm not a fan of hard candies, but my husband is, so he grabbed a bucket and grabbed a few pieces here and there. They have all sorts from sours to mints to sugar free varieties. In the back of the shop, there's an old printing press used to make funny headlines on fake newspapers. They'll print whatever you want as long as the text fits, and even mail it for a small fee. It's a fun little memento and would make great inexpensive gifts. We had a nice chat with the owner while he arranged the tiles for the printing press. It was neat to watch and would be a great learning opportunity to teach kids how print materials used to be made! read more

My wife is a candy fiend, so this place was right up her alley. As in, I tried to get her not to go in, but that wasn't happening! Here's the problem - what she loves about candy stores is getting a huge variety, just a few pieces of each. And here, they only allow you to mix and match with maybe 30% of their candy. For all the more exciting candies, there's a 1/4 lb minimum. We were prepared to spend probably $10 on random candy; instead, we let our boys each choose one piece from the mix-and-match barrels just so they wouldn't leave empty-handed. I only added the second star to my review because they truly do have a great selection - just stupid policies to go with it! read more

I was so excited to find this place--I love candy stores where you can just choose whatever you want and shove it in a bag. However, when I got to the counter I was told the workers have to scoop the candy in the bags for you AND the smallest portion you can get of one kind of candy is 1/2 of a huge scoop. What fun is a candy store like this if you can't have a big variety? I was really bummed and ended up leaving empty handed because the cashier looked at me like I was crazy for being sad about their dumb policy read more

I'm not a hard candy fan. Nor do I like sour balls or tootsie rolls. This little shop has every style, brand and flavor of old fashioned candy known to mankind--err, womankind, or rather kidkind. I do love dark chocolate but could not find any here. There were several varieties of milk chocolate though. It's fun just to come in and look around at all the colorful jars of yumminess. Kids, bring money or your parents. read more

My husband is an intense lover of old fashioned lemon drops, so when we stopped at this store in Estes Park and they were offering them, I purchased a half pound to take home to him. As soon as we were out of the store I popped one in my mouth and almost didn't make it home with my small bag. My husband said these were the best lemon drops he has ever had. I agree. This store was a real treat - old fashioned, best tasting, candy ever. If you love your sweets, stop here and fill up!! read more

I think the prices are more than reasonable. The owner was very friendly, making you feel comfortable. I was afraid the candy would be hard and taste old, like some candy stores. But the candy was soft and tasted fresh. Highly recommend visiting read more

Awesome collection of old fashioned candy! Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area!

Came here with my three girls and baby. The older gentleman working the counter was very kind and patient with all of our children. He even tossed in a couple extra candies. This place has a genuine, old fashioned friendly feel. Highly recommend for anyone in the area! read more

My twin 4 year old boys were in candy heaven! They each grabbed a little wooden bucket and went to town choosing a few pieces of their favorite candies and trying a few new ones too. Mom and dad were able to sneak in a few of our faves as well too. Both boys said this was the best part of the day trip to Estes Park. Love this place!! read more

So much fun! I love seeing all of the nostalgic candies and it's even more fun to mix and match in my own basket. While I wasn't focused on the upcoming sugar high, I enjoyed all of the sample headlines posted in the store. Sugar free options as well! The staff was welcoming but not intrusive. A welcome change from the taffy and fudge, or taffy & fudge, or even fudge and taffy stores in town! and a bit easier on the wallet as well. read more
