    I absolutely love this place. My wife's family has history here and I've always heard good things about this store. The last time I was here, it was two years ago and they were not open and we heard rumors that they might be closing down. I'm so glad that I was able to experience this local treat. We walked out with almost $70 worth of candy which I regret none of. All the treats were amazing! The workers there were helpful and knowledgeable of all of the different sweets and we're happy to have us. I love this place because it's a lot like going into a candy store from the time. It was made rather than going into some store that looks like a computer Just decided to create a place to sell candy. This place is a local Jewel and if you are in the area, or passing through, definitely take the time to give these ones a try!

    Great place, great people.I strongly recommend this place.I will put a big smile on any kid!

    This store is a true OG in town. It's nice to see a shop that continues to provide a fun experience to generation after generation. The candy is obviously not only worth a penny anymore but I like that they keep their originality. The pieces of candy ranged anywhere from about a dime up to around 1.25 for fully packaged options like the sour punch straws pictured. There is a great range of candy. Whether you're craving Mexican candy or Asian candy, they have it for you. My bag total was about $4.50. Aside from candy, they also offer different chocolate options and shaved ice. It was all well priced. When you walk in, you pick up a little basket and fill it up with candy. Take the basket to the cashier and pay! The reason I give this place 4 instead of 5 stars is because my sour punch straws tasted out of date. I'm not sure how often they change out the candy. I may have just gotten a bad batch since the rest of my candy and chocolate was really good. Parking was not an issue and the space inside was good!

    I have been stopping by this candy store since I was about 8 years old! Its on the way to my cousin's house and makes a great stop. There is an amazing variety of candy, toys, and gifts... As well as an ice cream and shaved ice counter. They are always very friendly and helpful when we come in. This is such a cute little store, go check it out!

    The people here are why I love this store. My fiance loves shave ice so we stop by whenever we can. I was on the way home (from visiting my grandmother in the hospital) and I stopped for shave ice. I asked them if they had any idea how I might be able to get two home if you were the only petson and you couldnt hold them. They said no problem, they would figure something out. The xl $3 shave ice is in a flower cone, so they got me a box full of packibg peanuts to hold my icy treats. They are so nicely packed, in the box and with the shave ice that they made the more than 10 mile drive home. Another time, after a drive to Chico and back, we stopped at the Penny Candy store exactly at 8pm, when they close at 8pm. They let us order even though they had but everything away and we only had a $3 sale.

    This is the best little place in Live Oak. The staff is so nice, and there is still real penny candy!

    IMHO Such a…read morebeautiful produce market! We had just finished having breakfast at The Cook House and my friend needed to buy a bunch of green onions, so across the street we go! The first thing I noticed before entering the market, was the freezer compartment chock full of Marianne's Ice Cream! Unfortunately, we didn't have a cooler in our trunk to keep any frozen goods cold, so we had to forgo buying Marianne's. The market is bright, clean, and full of beautiful produce and other staples. Cashier was friendly.

    I've been to Sunnyside Produce many times over the years and honestly I would've been happy to…read moreleave a positive review in the past, but it never felt necessary until now. This recent visit was disappointing enough that I feel it needs to be shared. Customer service was noticeably lacking. When we got to the front of the line and realized we forgot something, the woman at the register rolled her eyes and let out an audible sigh, even though no one else was in line. It felt unnecessarily rude. Throughout the store, employees were unhelpful and unapproachable. We tried to ask a question to a young tall man who clearly worked there, but he completely ignored us and just kept walking. Later, we asked a Hispanic man working in the back for help, and instead of answering, he gave us an annoyed look and walked away. It was uncomfortable and made us feel like we were a bother just for asking. To top it off, one of the two avocados we bought was completely rotten inside. The store itself didn't feel clean. Shelves had layers of dust, and we wandered around without a single person offering to help. Prices were shockingly high, especially considering the poor experience. Nob Hill is just down the road and offers better service, better prices, and a cleaner environment. I usually don't leave reviews unless something is exceptionally good or clearly disappointing. Unfortunately, this was the latter. I hope they get their act together, because this used to be a decent spot. But right now, I can't recommend it to anyone.
