Is is every not fun to tour a cool, retro candy store? Downtown Carrollton has this gem of a place…read morethat is loaded with unusual candies and media tie-in lunch boxes and scented candles. Its Spencer's meets Rocket Fizz. Barf and Ranch Dressing sodas are in the cooler, along with obscure specialty fruit sodas that are less gross. Chunky bars, prayer candles themed after The Office and Breaking Bad characters, and a host of other items familiar, retro, and new line the displays. My one gripe is this is the kind of store it's fun to browse, but difficult to buy from because everything is so unusual and priced as such. We did buy a few things, honey sticks and some cherry drops. The guy behind the counter was notably humorless, weird for a candy store. I don't know if I've seen Willy Wonka too many times, but I kinda want the people working in a candy store to appreciate the joy of the narrative. This dude barely acknowledged me as we checked out. I think we will likely always visit Blooms when we come to Downtown Carrollton because it's kinda irresistible. It's a novelty store and a good place to find an unusual gift as you sift through the options.

Still waiting for the manager to call me back and get this remedied.

She walked us through everything they make here and what it is made of. We got the gummies! We tried the French 75 and cranberry sunrise. The gummies package is equal to 3 drinks. The flavor is good, and tastes like a lemon drop. They also had chocolates with alcohol too, they looked delicious. I recommend this place!! I will be back to try more treats soon. This is a great, unique treat to bring to a party or share with friends. Amazing service and amazing products!

The friendly and welcoming greetings were just added benefits of coming here, flavorings of life that went along with the food! Walking into this store is always magical, as the senses are filled with the smells of popcorn popping or being flavored, and candy being made. It's hard to be in anything but a great mood when you smell those smells!! I am also a fan of their custom popcorn and Candy care packages that I can send to loved ones on special occasions. They have come through for me when I needed that little something special for a special person somewhere that needed a little pick up or cheer.

I have probably ordered delivery or driven my butt to this shop at least half a dozen times during The Rona. I've tried about as many flavors and just keep coming back to my favorites: + Parmesan & Garlic, or + Dill Pickle I don't even LIKE pickles, haha. But something about its flavor is so fresh and zesty/tangy?! So yeah, when you get tired of Skinny Pop and how bland it tastes with its sad imitation of buttery goodness - just forget the diet and indulge your taste buds with some real popcorn. :) Will be back!

The issue I encountered was I ordered a medium bag of Carmel popcorn with cashews, no peanuts, for $16.00, I received my order, paid and left. When I got into my car I started in on eating some. Next I get to looking and counting the very few cashews in my order. I counted twelve (12), cashews. Yes, twelve pieces which were primarily halves and maybe two (2), whole nuts.

Normally I avoid the big sprawling malls like the plague, but in order to see the new Batman flick,…read moreI finally gave in and drove down to the Valley View Mall at LBJ and Preston. Once in the mall, I headed over to the escalators to go up to the theater when a young man standing outside of the Sweet Factory motioned me over. Drawn by both curiosity and the smell of chocolate, I walked over to talk with him. "We have candy in here that is better than what you can get in the theater...and it's a lot cheaper too". Hmmmm.....I was skeptical, being the Milk Duds fanatic that I am. "Okay, you are on...prove it". This kid (and I mean kid, I don't know if he could even drive yet) proceeded to school me on all things chocolate! And better yet, he let me try one of almost everything! I ended up walking out with a half pound mixture of chocolate dipped brownie bits, chocolate covered almonds and oreo cookies dipped in fudge. As I was paying for the candy, he helpfully reminded me that they sold sodas too, and again they were much cheaper than the movies. I think at that point if he would have told me they had pigs that could fly for sale, I probably would have bought one of those too. I spent the next several hours adrift in a sea of chocolate bliss while I oohed and ahhed over the Joker.

Plenty of treats to choose from like chocolate, popcorn, cupcakes, macaroons and cotton candy. They also have a variety of beverages. My main purpose was to visit and try the Zphere beverage. It's a passion fruit non alcoholic drink. It has special effects of smoke and a big bubble that pops. My mother truly got a kick out of the presentation. It was a Valentine's treat to keep her sweet. I left feeling happy and with a big smile. I will definitely have to go back and try something sweet. I'm not a big sweets person. I thought the price was reasonable. My mothers laugh and smile made it a GREAT experience! The entrance to the store is adorable. This place would be cute for a girls day out.

I think the idea is cute, I feel as though it could have been executed better…read more One of the biggest reasons why I'm giving it a three star is because it is not worth the price, I think wanted to give it a higher rating really bad because I can tell the owner has put thought and effort into it and for that I am very appreciative. The space is small, it's open to regular customers to purchase some of the items such as the candy and popcorn, they can purchase the items at the register which is literally less than 12 feet away from you. For $115 per person, I don't think it's fair that you're practically having a tasting in a candy store. It would have been better if the tasting was in a separate area from where customers couldn't come buy the desserts. The tasting was good and as I said, you could tell time and effort had been put into it, I just feel as though the price does not equate to the experience. As stated below, there are better tastings for a cheaper cost. I understand that celebrities have experienced the same thing which adds a sense of luxury, but I'm paying for quality, not previous exposure.
