There are several options to choose from and the sugar high is flowing throughout. They keep the store at a nice controlled temperature and it's well kept. There is always someone willing to help. On this occasion I couldn't find what I was looking for and a nice lady assisted me by making a phone call to the store front just right up the road. Fortunately that had exactly what I needed and I was on my way. For your candy sweet tooth, it's worth visiting. If you plan on visiting. Make sure you enter the correct address. There are two locations on the same street going in different directions.

I'm not wild about gummy bears, but, wow, the selection of chocolates is mind-blowing. The nice gentleman at the counter (sorry, I didn't catch his name) even offered samples when I said I was having trouble making up my mind. Everyone I dealt with was very nice and very helpful. This was my first visit, and I was a little overwhelmed. Now I'm determined to make a stop at Albanese any time I have reason to be in Indiana. And maybe once in a while make a special trip.

The store had an endless variety of both new and old-school candies to choose from. They even had this really cool jelly bean machine with a wide assortment of flavors to bag up. Before leaving, I made sure to grab some treats to share with my family too! I can't wait to come back in the summer to see what new goodies they'll have.

Candy shops and popcorn shops are what elevate a vacation town from A to S tier. You need these…read moresupplemental sweets for the days when you're not devouring enormous scoops of ice cream. Or...perhaps even for the days when you are? Maybe it's ice cream in town and candy back at the vacation rental. Sweet Haven ticks all the boxes: various small candy in bulk; taffy in bulk; old-fashioned packaged candy; higher-end chocolates; Jelly Bellys; and of course FUDGE. It's a dangerous and delightful place. I'm not sure about the prices. This stuff *seems* expensive, but since you don't buy an armload of candy very often (do you??), it's hard to tell. So just go ahead and treat yourself (and your kids I guess, but mostly you, because sugar is bad for kids) and see whether you can make it last beyond the journey home at the end of the trip.

They have lots of the small candies and old fashioned things. They do not have a huge selection of bulk/bin candy though and this is why they lose a star.

I guess most of their stuff doesn't melt though which is a plus in the summer.
