There's also bulk candy bins for more unusual gummy options, nuts behind the deli counter glass, and a back room with tea sets and similar small home things. If you've never been to a store like this before, don't worry, they will guide you and explain anything if you have questions. It's a great little shop that's totally worth checking out.

This is a fun shoppe if you're one of the following: a kid, a nostalgic adult, and/or a hungry & thirsty kid or adult:) Prices are standard for this type of specialty shoppe; they are NOT low. This is NOT the place to visit should you want deals. However, it is the place to visit if you have the money & want to find candy from your childhood (1950's up); many flavored taffies; sour candy; Japanese, Korean & candies from other countries; gag gifts; every type of sugared soda imaginable (cold or shelf warm); small games; bobbleheads; unique toys & candies; gum in a multitude of varieties, tacky metal signs; & a host of other novelties! Gift certificates in any amount from $5 to $250.00 are available. I came for the nostalgic candy cigarettes (SEE PIC); the Necco Wafers; the Sweetarts; & the liquor-flavored jellybeans. Also picked up cinnamon box-shaped lollipops for my students. Did I overspend? Of course. Will I shop here regularly? Of course not. But it is a cool, clean, well-organized shoppe that wreaks of nostalgia & future dental visits! I LOVE IT!

They have beautiful sets of mixing bowls that remind me of the Great British Bake Off show. I saw the traditional teapots that you see all over the English countryside. There's snacks, chocolates, hard candies, tea, frozen pies, curry sauces, cheese, and even ice cream. I felt like I was back in Woodbridge, England. I honestly haven't seen this many grocery items in one place since being stationed over there. It really brought back great memories. I ended up buying some sweets. I was mainly looking for a box of Cadbury Roses, and some hard fruit candies with soft centers. I can't remember the brand name. I ended up getting the Cadbury Bournville bar in the Old Jamaica flavor. I thought it had been discontinued. This is actually the first time I've seen it in years. I also got the Simpkins Mixed Fruit Drops. It's the simple things that make me happy. All tasted exactly as I remembered them to be. I didn't get to hang out at the store long enough. I think that's a good thing, because I would have bought the Cadbury Eclairs and the Walkers Roasted Hazelnut Toffee bars. I'll need to pace myself. I can't wait to return for more goodies. It will be even more tempting at Christmas time when they bring in seasonal candies (hopefully liquor filled), and tree ornaments.

The flashy and diner-esque Sugar Factory is a restaurant (not truly a full-sized candy store if…read moreyou're wondering) located within the Seminole Hard Rock Casino & Hotel Tampa. It's located on the second floor of the casino space and easy to locate. If you're wondering, the parking garages that are closest to the restaurant are Lucky Street and Winner's Way at the 2nd Floor/Casino level. After walking into the casino, it's a straight shot to the Sugar Factory as it's hard to miss with its bright and dazzling lights. The Sugar Factory takes a super playful approach at the dining experience as it truly makes everything a photo op. From the physical restaurant to the food itself, the patron is immersed in a "gram"-rich environment (light weight mad that the food here is more photo-genic than I am). It appears to be great for large groups and parties/celebratory events. There is a small candy/sweets section from where you can purchase those delectable morsels by the pound, along with other small trinkets. The menu is similar to other bar/grill-type restaurants (comparable to a BJs and even the Hard Rock Cafe). One main difference is in the focus that they place in their dessert/sweets section. The smoothies and ice cream go hard when it comes to flare and accoutrements (as mentioned before, they look more like art work than food itself). These treats do run on the sweet side... (4th wall break - c'mon look at the name). So, if you want to do it for the gram bring yourself and/or the group to the Sugar Factory at the Hard Rock Casino & Hotel in Tampa!
