This is a classic old market stop when you're in the area! I love most everything here, and love that it's connected to Dolci so you can stop in for a lovely café to go with your indulgent chocolate! The most recent time I stopped in, I got the mud ball, creme bon bon, and chocolate caramel peanut cluster. They were all amazing, but I think the bon bon was my favorite (and my husband's), followed closely by the caramel peanut cluster. I couldn't decide which to get, so I'm looking forward to stopping in and trying more things. There's also packaged candy choices and fudge if those are your things. The service was quick, friendly, and the only thingy that took a bit of time was waiting for the people in front of us to decide what they wanted. read more

This space was so cute! It's a tight space but has some nostalgic candies, fudge, other chocolates, a jellybean station, all the haribo gummies you can imagine, and other yummy treats. The staff here is so kind, I mean beyond kind. Everything you would picture a candy shop to be this place is it. We love it here. read more

Old Market Candy Shop - Welcome sign - Candy Stores Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

This is a cute little candy shop in a cool old building. They make their chocolates in the back and then they have other candies out as well. Doesn't have a huge selection, but does have a nice mix of stuff.The guy working at the front was so incredibly nice and fun. It made it a memorable experience for my kids. I would definitely go back of I was in town! read more

I stopped in to this candy shop after checking out the ice cream shop that's connected next door. I love that they have a lot of old fashioned/ retro candies and a large selection of jelly beans. They also make a variety of chocolate candy and fudge in-house. I got 2 pieces of fudge: oreo and tiramisu. The oreo is very good, super sweet since it is fudge. The tiramisu was not as good as I hoped it would be. read more

Everything you'd expect is in the name! Just lots of fun candies (jelly belly, gummies, licorice, fudge, chocolates, etc) and everything is very fairly priced. Just a very fun place to stop in as you peruse the Old Market. I recommend the pecan chocolate turtle, the mud ball, and the peanut butter chocolate fudge. All of the fudge is incredibly delicious and incredibly creamy and rich....perfect for the holidays. Personally, I go here much more often than just the holidays. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

What a cool shop. All the nostalgia candy one can dream of. This is not just a candy store, but a wonderful time machine into the past.

This was my first time visiting the candy shop and wow, what an experience. The staff was so nice and let us try a few items, like the espresso covered chocolate. Highly recommend the mudd balls if you love oreos. What a declious treat. read more

Cute shop!! The Peanut Butter Fudge and Chocolate Fudge are amazing. I'm a real Peanut Butter Fudge snob. So that should tell you something!! Will be going back!! read more

I live in Bellevue and I drive into old market simply to get their fudge! ITS. THAT. GOOD. The service is always warm and informative, if it's the owner himself or one of the other helpful employees. The atmosphere is charming and eclectic with a surprising amount of variety for a small shop. Another hit for me is the mocha bean chocolates! Anything from here is a hit! read more

Tiny little store that sells truffles, fudge, and novelty candy. The day I was there they had chocolate covered strawberries. I happily bought 4 of them! The two girls working were super nice and easy to talk to. We chatted for a little bit before I paid. You can also see the gentlemen making the candy through a window behind the register. He was busy making those strawberries! You have to ask for a key for the bathroom, but it was clean and well stocked. Attached to the candy store is an adorable ice cream and dessert shop. There I bought cannolis and a strawberry shirley temple pop. Only street parking, but it's in a really cool area full of shops, restaurants, art galleries, and bars. Really easy to walk around and enjoy the decorations and there's usually people playing instruments or doing magic, etc. The Old Market is my favorite place in Omaha. read more

Excellent here with several black licorice options and caramel and toffee. All these favorites of mine. Helping staff and got samples to test. Sealed bag of Dutch licorice, double salt...not much licorice and a lot of salt taste. Toffee...same. Nice milk chocolate covered but not much, very little, toffee taste. read more

A cute and cozy candy shop that's definitely worth a stop when you're in Old Market. There's a good variety of pre-packaged candies lining the walls of the shop, but my interest lay in the chocolate counter at the back of the store. I had seen their signature Mud Balls (Oreo/cream cheese centers coated in chocolate) in the Omaha Visitors Guide and got two of those for my boyfriend and I to try. I also picked up a couple pieces of Seafoam Sponge Candy and one piece of their chocolate-covered toffee. All were great choices and rang in at under $4. The items in the chocolate case were $12.99 a pound so I went conservative but definitely could have picked up a few more things for a reasonable price. I have regrets about not getting their huge Grand Marnier truffle, and I didn't even look at the fudge case. I'll definitely have to return next time in Omaha! read more

Dieters BEWARE! This place is so freaking awesome. This adorable little candy shop is tucked into the corner of the old market and feels like something out of Harry Potter or a 1950's photo. It's very tiny and during peak hours gets a little cramped. Like all old market shops parking is an issue but if you ride the bus they drop you off close by. I appreciate all the selections they offer, even if they're evil to my waist line. You can find old favorites like candy cigarettes, sour candies, salt water taffy, jelly beans and more. Alternatively you can try their sinful fudge, take my advice and only get a little or I promise you it'll be gone before the day is done. One of my favorites is the chocolate almond treats or the walnut fudge. It is a little pricey but it is an experience and you'll enjoy watching your child's eyes light up when they visit this place. Did I mention my waistline? HaHa read more

Old Market Candy Shop - Storefront December 2014. Love this great old building! - Candy Stores Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I went here twice while in town. The first time I had a chocolate raspberry item which was solid but unspectacular. The second time around I had a different piece, more straightup dark chocolate, which I liked more and which I would get again. There's a lot to choose from. Cramped space and wasn't empty either time. read more

I don't like chocolate but oh man, this stuff is good! The chicken leg is my favorite...or maybe the English toffee...no the milk chocolate almond clusters...ok I like them all equally! The ingredients are always fresh, the nuts are crunchy, as are the pretzels. So good! My husband loves dark chocolate and thoroughly enjoys the variety of options. Dark chocolate covered almonds, salted caramel, and coconut clusters are just a few of his favorites. This is our go to chocolate/candy place! The service is great as well as the prices. Also, they have cute gift boxes. Totally worth checking out. read more

I've been happily going here for years. This shop is right on the edge of the Old Market which makes it easy to find. Yes, Hollywood Candy has a better Jelly Belly selection, but they're $4 a pound less here. There's salt water taffy; a Haribo display (gummi bears); fudge; a couple of other candies by the pound (licorice; anise drops); various flavors of cordials and chocolates made on the premises. The truffles are a bit larger than is necessary, and at $2 each are a tasty indulgence. The posters on the wall exhorting the benefits of candy (a good source of energy!) to wartime workers add to the general charm. read more

Mike was there and he sooooo nice and helpful! Affordable prices and delicious sweets!!!

The Old Market Candy Shop has been around for as long as I can remember. And I hope it sticks around forever. Not only is a staple of the Old Market experience, but a key to their ongoing success is that they serve up locally made sweet treats and more right there inside the cozy little shop. If you ever need a spot to grab a unique gift, head here. The employees are friendly and helpful (who wouldn't love working at a candy shop?). Plus they make the chocolate goodies right there in house. One small gift box will run between $5-$6. So you can literally buy happiness for like $6! They also have classic novelty candy like gummy rats, candy cigarettes, etc. A slice a nostalgia combined with a few pieces of Omaha-made choco-goodness equasl the Old Market Candy Shop. Perfect for nearly any occasion! read more

Awesome hand made family run candy shop. Was traveling with people that stop here every time they are in Omaha and it was the first thing we did. Everything I tried was great, but my favorite and their specialty are the mudballs. We even went back the morning we were leaving to load up to bring home. If your in Omaha you need to try a mudball! read more

OYelp says they are open until 9pm. Walked from my hotel to get a treat for my babies to bring home from my business trip. Got there at 8:30. People are inside but they are very much closed. Super disappointing. Needs to have updated/correct info on yelp. See my sad disappointed face below. read more

I'm almost ashamed that I've never been here until my out of town guests referred me... Especially since this place has been in business since 1977. Homemade fudge, classic candy (wax lips, giant jawbreakers, candy cigarettes) and a great selection of gourmet items like marzipan, chocolate cherries, chocolate covered orange peel, Bonbons, etc. Highly recommended, cute little shop with friendly staff. read more

I love candy and Old Market satisfies all of my great candy store requirements: - Great licorice selection (I tried imports from Finland and Australia) - Nostalgic favorites (Super Ropes, Pixie Stix, Big League Chew, etc) - Crazy chocolate covered concoctions My favorite treat turned out to be the crunchy stuff (rice crispies, peanuts and pretzels covered in milk chocolate). I haven't been the worlds biggest milk chocolate fan of late and was really pleased with the great flavor of theirs. We went back the next day for more. read more

The fudge is amazing! I was also able to find some candies I haven't seen in awhile! Staff was very friendly!

A walk back in time! Once inside this small cute candy store, you find that candy from your younger childhood days, like red hot tamales, pixie sticks and slow cows. They have collectible boxed sets and big suckers on a stick like I used to get at six flags every summer. Towards the back of the store is an old soda fountain with ice cream and then a museum of sorts with wall art and posters. We even found some sugar free jelly belly assortment boxes, for under $4, not bad! read more

This is candy store has an old fashioned feel and has been located in the Old Market for the last 40 years. I've been here dozens of times to pick up a few treats and now enjoy bringing my son here to pick one out for himself. As others have stated, this place doesn't have the largest selection but if you're in the Old Market, have a sweeth tooth and don't want ice cream, this is your place. Drop in and support a local business. read more

This place has been in business since the 70's. good old fashioned chocolates and very reasonable. We like the mud balls and chicken legs a lot. The mud balls are creamy delicious morsels of chocolate cream cheese Oreo goodness and the chicken legs are a pretzel caramel and peanut concoction. Cool place, worth a stop!! read more

Oh man. I think anyone who knows me knows that I am a sucker for a candy shop and the Old Market is no exception. They do have a smaller selection of pre-packaged candies (jawbreakers, jellies, etc.), but where they really shine is the homemade chocolates. Everything from truffles to "chicken legs" which are pretzels rolled in caramel, covered in nuts, and dipped in chocolate. I'll take two please. Prices are reasonable and the workers are friendly. Why wouldn't I be a fan? read more

I actually needed change for the parking meter but ended up looking around and leaving with some goods. Really cute little candy shop. Kids heaven. And reasonable prices. read more

The chocolate covered orange peels are absolutely amazing! We literally make a trip to the old market just so I can pick up some! Everything at the Old Market Candy Shop is delicious and I love that you can watch them make it fresh right in the store. You know that what you are getting is freshly made and hasn't been sitting behind the counter for days. The service is always quick and helpful too. A great place to stop for a sweet treat! read more

So after my so-so lunch, I decided to go here for desert. PERFECT IN EVERY WAY! Offered free samples of fudge. This place is old fashioned, respectable, delicious, and if you are looking to gain 900lbs before X-mas, the perfect spot! The quality of the fudge was amazing and 1/2 the cost of Godiva or other competitors. Absolutely helpful staff, knowledgeable, and good value! read more

Cute little shop downtown that has been around for at least 20 years. We enjoy their in house chocolate as well as specialty candy items. On my most recent visit I picked up some salt water taffy which was wonderful. Prices are very reasonable for being a downtown spot. My daughter selected a larger sucker that was only $.35! A nice spot to stop into if you are in the area. read more

I've heard raves about their mud balls, so I knew I had to give this Old Market candy shop a try. The shop isn't big, that's part of its charm, but don't let looks fool you. The space is intimate, but it's packed with all kinds of sugary delights: truffles, fudge, taffy and more. I ordered two mud balls and a peanut butter s'mores treat. The mud balls were akin to cake balls - dense, moist and delicious. The peanut butter s'mores bar didn't knock my socks off, but it was an alright treat and what I expected. At $2.40 for three pieces, this place is very reasonable. The service was friendly, the ambience cozy. I'll return when my sweet tooth hits (which is more often that I like!). read more

Never heard of this place till today when we happened to park right in front of it. For such a small place they have some awesome candy. Stuff I haven't seen since I was a kid. They have a lot of choices of chocolate covered goodies also. Prices are perfect for what you get. The ladies working were very polite and even greeted us when we came in even though they were busy. Will be checking it out again soon. read more

While walking through the old market with my fiancé, I mentioned how I frequented the cute little candy shop quite often in my high school days. You can imagine my shock when he told me he had never been there! I knew we had to make a pit stop. Upon entering the busy shop, we were promptly greeted by the employees. We browsed through nostalgic sweets like candy cigarettes, wax bottles, giant lollipops, etc. I was very excited to see they still make the chocolate covered gummy bears I enjoyed years ago. We drooled over the wide variety of fudge and chocolate covered goodies in the display cases. This is when I convinced my fiancé to buy some chocolate covered cherries and bing mashes (he thanked me later). The employees were super helpful and very friendly, you can definitely tell this is a family owned business. If you love nostalgic candies, reasonably priced homemade chocolate treats, and great customer service; make sure to check out this little gem of a candy store. read more

Old Market Candy Shop! My favorite part of Omaha! I was in town for a family wedding and Google, in its infinite wisdom, led me to The Old Market. First stop was the Candy Shop. The most warming, honest, greeting I've ever received upon walking into a business. They truly put the customer first and there care is immediately apparent. Your first step in feels like childhood, and you're holding a golden ticket. Beautiful storefront inside and out. The selection is vast and the taste is purely unmatched in the chocolate/fudge business. The owner, Mike, was happy to share his story and give us background on the history of the establishment. Mike spoke with pride in his business, and rightfully so, as each item we purchased we savored, immensely. If you only have time for one stop at The Old Market, make it this place! read more

Interesting little candy shop that did not have the selection I was hoping for. The chocolate counter only has a limited selection and did not carry my favorites. I really like molasses chips and jelly chocolates which they do have jelly in sugar free (not my favorite). The other candy selection is decent and you can get some older candies here. I have found much better chocolate shops that are more homemade in selection. I did get the three chocolates to see how they did. The pecan turtle was OK, but it had too much chocolate to other ingredients. The caramel was also lacking in proper flavor with the chocolate. The last one was a crushed up Oreo mixed with cream cheese and dipped in chocolate. That had a unique flavor but is nothing special so was really bummed. I might stop by again as it is a nice little shop but it is no real candy shop just a reseller of others candy and chocolate. Once you find a real chocolate shop that sells seconds and great variety of hand dipped chocolate then you will know what I am saying. If you do want some older candies this is a great little shop, but do not expect great things from it though. I would have to say this is a 2.5 star place sadly. read more

Customer service was incredible! They offered delicious samples of espresso beans and cordials, which were delicious. We decided on the nut clusters, which were phenomenal. Can't wait to try more next time in the Old Market! read more

I felt like a fat k...i...d... in a can....wait a minute. I was a fat kid in a candy shop. My daughter and I went in and had fun. It was nice and had a retro feel for it that was lost on my daughter but we had fun just as well and of course, got candy. The staff was friendly and the place was hopping since it was on a Saturday evening. Overall, if you are counting calories....yeah, right. read more
