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 a wide variety of candies, unique items you won't find elsewhere. Some of the stuff is too unique and I suppose people don't want to try it so we have found from time to time to purchase an expired candy and find out later. It's a pretty neat place, they could use some friendlier workers and to unload their stock. Getting around the store with a stroller when the floor has boxes everywhere needing unloaded was annoying today.

Anytime I come to Lakeside Village or am in the vicinity I always make a stop at Rocket Fizz and…read moreget a soda. There is a mind-blowingly large selection of not only root beers and cokes, but literally any kind of soda you can imagine. And I really do mean ANY kind- they even have crazy flavors like grass soda, corn soda, and bacon soda! There is so much to look at, you can walk around the stores several times and find something new with each lap. So many funny candies I never knew existed. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is because they are definitely on the pricier side. Some of the popular candies there are a few dollars more than if you got them at a nearby grocery or convenience store. But, I do understand they have a lot of candies and drinks you cannot find at a normal grocery store, so they are probably allowed to charge a little more for some of those things. Either way I'm going to keep coming back and trying more of their fun sodas! (But probably not the grass or corn ones anytime soon) P.S if you are looking for the best root beer/ soda ever, I HIGHLY recommend the butterscotch root beer from the "Dang! that's Good" brand, pictured below. Prepare to have your taste buds dazzled.

You know the saying "a kid in a candy store," well that was me the second I stepped in here. I was…read moredriving past and I immediately parked to go check out everything they had. Anything and everything you could imagine, floor to ceiling, sugar invaded, and much much more! I loved just looking to see the variety they had in store from old fashioned candy to modern day sugar crazes. One of my favorite sections is the ability to fill a bad and pay by the pound with a wide variety of things! However, one of the best parts about my stop was the worker. It was such a sweet gentleman! He offered samples of candy, encouraged us to get more, and was super friendly! Not to mention they had fireballs and those parents as easy as you might imagine trying to find! Can't wait to go back and maybe even bring my nephews!

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!

We've visited this restaurant twice, and unfortunately, both experiences started the same way. Even…read morethough the restaurant wasn't busy, we had to wait 15-20 minutes just to be seated because there was never anyone at the host stand. During our most recent visit, we eventually walked into the dining area ourselves to find someone. Even after asking for help, it took another 10 minutes before someone came to the front to seat us. The desserts, however, are absolutely incredible. They offer a great variety, and while they're definitely on the expensive side, the portions are huge--one dessert could easily be shared by three people. The hot food, on the other hand, was underwhelming and didn't leave much of an impression. We'd consider coming back for dessert, but the service at the front and the quality of the entrées need improvement.

Great store to visit for desserts but for the almonds - I suggest you shop around first.

I am completely new to buying and reading comics. Last year I watched a new Marvel series (new to…read moreme) named Moon Knight. Moon Knight was released in 22, but I didn't watch it until nearly after a year later. There hasn't been a season 2 released but let me tell you I fell in love with the first season and for the first time in my life, I wanted to know more about the characters of Moon Knight. My boyfriend told me Moon Knight had been a comic for many years and that I should check the comics out...so I looked up Dade City comic book store and Facebook messaged them asking if they had some Moon Knight comics... The manager of the Facebook page responded within 20 minutes and said they did and that the store would be open at noon (yesterday/Tuesday) (nice!!! To the fast response and I'm already loving that!) I find a parking spot near the old court house because it was about 12:02 and parking was not open near the store I'm assuming because of the lunch crowd around Beef O' Brady's. I walk in and the gentleman said hi and asked if I was looking for anything. I told him I was completely new to comics. He took the time to explain how comics work issue wise, how the number system works, how to see what comics were part of collections, told me of websites to check for other comics he didn't have and showed me some one off and special edition comics. He also explained how important it was that when it came time to read the comics, to carefully remove the tape from the plastic sleeves and throw it away immediately so that it does not catch on the comic. When I was through reading, put the comic back into the protective sleeve, fold the flap down and then tape it back down for storage. He also informed many people vacuum seal them as well. But to definitely be careful of the tape!!! I am pretty sure with the exception of about 5 or 10 other releases, I bought all that he had available. I walked out having spent $130 in comics and a bag full of Moon Knight comics. I am extremely excited and I am glad they are in the community. The gentleman, named Danny, also let me know they have an online store as well which is nice too.
