    This stuff is the stuff! I'll go here and get ice cream even when it's 20 below out. The cotton candy ice cream made my tummy happy

    Grandpa Joe's Candy Shop - Box for $5.00 candy buffet

    Such a fun place to stop by when you are in Bloomington, you can't miss the big blue building…read moredriving by. So many candy options, toys and gifts section, huge soda wall, bridge and ice cream and can't skip the $5 candy buffet! The candy buffet is awesome when you want to try a little bit of everything. The store is clean and organized, easy to browse. Some stuff is pricey but some things are not too bad. I do end up buying a bunch of stuff when I come. The guys there are really friendly. Definitely stop by next time you are in the area.

    I couldn't recommend to stay as far away from this place as possible enough…read more The staff is not trained well, you will get incorrect answers to questions and your kids will be disappointed. I came here for the first time as I live right down the road and I would never recommend this place to anyone. I had an incredibly frustrating experience and unfortunately there wasn't any type of resolution that was given to us - not even an apology. The kid at the register simply told me he was new. I understand things happen but at least have a team meeting or something and get your crap figured out. Extremely disappointed. Not a fun experience. Not a place I'd go back to unless they are able to make things right. I have a daughter in TEARS because of my experience and I have been up all night thinking about what to do. Hence why this review is coming at 5am. Stay away from this place and go somewhere else.

    If i could give this store a -10 I would. I absolutely DO NOT recommend. Horrible product quality,…read moreand complete lack of customer service. I bought one dark chocolate/sea salt/caramel truffle. I left the store with it intending to enjoy my treat. When I tried to bite into it, it was ROCK SOLID. I could not even bite off a piece of it. So I head back to the store & ask the cashier, "Is this supposed to be hard?". He says, "Well it's a truffle. And it came out of the fridge." I say, "It's not cold, it's just hard. I could have broken a tooth on this!". He says, "Oh well." I say, "OH WELL???". He says, "That's what I said." I say, "Well that's not a very good response from a customer service perspective." He says, "I couldn't care less." I say, "Well that's very clear." He ran a credit to my card to refund me. As I'm walking out the teenager that was helping bag things for customers is slamming my former truffle repeatedly against the counter and it's still one solid piece.

    Not a huge fan of this place. Went a ton a few years back and the service was kind and friendly and…read morethere were many types of great candy to choose from, but that's all changed now. I've visited a couple times over the last few weeks and kept hoping there was just some holiday-season burnout fibs here and there but unfortunately this place has just lost it. Guy at the front just stared customers down, didn't talk until someone came up to check out, just plain uninviting. The bulk candy itself seems to be stored improperly, so many containers left open or the lids not on them, so they were all stale and/or flavorless. There's way better places to grab sweet treats in this mall.

    Wow! My first time being here, to say there is a lot of choices is an understatement! I've been to…read moreother chocolate stores, but this felt next-level. Finally settled on butter toffee and dark chocolate truffles. So very good! They were also sampling a fruit creme covered in chocolate, very flavorful!

    I decided to make a little road trip to Abdollah Candies on my way to bingo at Treasure Island and…read morealthough it was a bit out of the way, it was completely worth it. I could not believe how big the store was. There is so much variety and such a wide selection of both candy and gift items. The candy is incredible. They feature a candy of the month and even offer samples. While we were there, we tried a truffle with raspberry in the center and it was really good. One of my favorite finds was tucked in the back corner...kind of a hidden gem. They have marked down candy that does not quite meet their quality standards. It might look a little different or vary in size, but it still tastes the same. Totally worth checking out. We picked out a variety to bring to bingo including butter toffee, sea sale caramel, peanut butter cups, and a pecan cluster. Everything was delicious. The store itself was very clean, including the bathrooms, and it smelled amazing from the second we walked in. My only callout is that the employees were not especially friendly. We did visit about 45 minutes before closing, so maybe that played a role, but it was not the warm welcome I had expected. So much so that I felt weird taking photos (which is reflected here). All in all, still a really fun stop and absolutely worth the trip.
