    We go to seaport village pretty often... we like walking by the water and browsing the shops. This candy store is a must whenever we are here. They have all kinds of candy, classic, nostalgic, and also candies that are "trending"... at least my kid says they are lol. But anyways, this is the cutest little shop and aside from sugary sweets, they also have some cold drinks, toys, and other snacks. The owners are the nicest, friendliest people, it's always nice seeing them when we stop by. Definitely a small business worth checking out and supporting when hanging out at Seaport!

    It's a good thing my husband accompanied me while I shopped here or else I would have gone overboard. At times my sweet tooth just overtakes my will power. This shop has a good number of novelty items and sweets from my childhood. The shop has something to offer most sweet tooth cravings. Besides candy they also sell game boards, toys, masks, drinks and ice cream bars. Location: It's located in Seaport Village, near the pond across of Wetzel's Pretzel. The pond is a great area to watch the ducks while you eat your treats. There are several benches to relax. There is also several seating areas near the bay. I'm sure this will be a must stop shop to temporarily subdue my sweet tooth time every time we are at Seaport Village.

    Craving something sweet? This is the spot when you are in Seaport Village!! Cute little spot for the kiddos and the adults to come and get their sweet munchies!!

    It's a candy shop!!! What's not to love. It's located in seaport village in downtown San Diego. The cashier was very nice and validated our parking ticket for us even though we only bought a handful of snacks.

    I love how they hve all those nostalgic candies and drinks! It's one of the must visit shops in seaport village! They have ice cream too! The staff is very warm and welcoming and even proactively asked me if I needed a parking validation.:) went there to get a pressed coin for my collection.

    Went here during my first village to Seaport Village. It is just adorable! They do a great job of having a nice sized selection available in a small space. Got the Watermelon Sour Belts. They were definitely very sour with a strong Watermelon flavor and they tasted fresh. Basically everything I expected it to be and I'm happy about it!

    This was such a fun little candy shop located at seaport village. My kids loved looking at all the varieties of pez dispensers and fun candy. I was amazed at how moderately priced everything was as well.

    Great service and great personality of the gentleman working the store (owner maybe?). Their selection was great, their prices were really reasonable, store was clean and well organized. Sure, they have mainstream stuff, but even better, they had a lot of those candies that are amazing, but a little more niche. Definitely would visit again and definitely will recommend to others!

    This shop is the cutest shop ever! The owners are amazing and always willing to help. The whole store is filled with delicious candy and nostalgic toys from when we grew up. Brings back so many memories. She also did most of the artwork herself which is amazing! Not only did I buy candies my daughter loved, but I made sure to get a few of my favorite candies and sodas because I couldn't resist. The owner, Jeana was so knowledgeable on her inventory and even though the whole shop was sweet surprises, she even surprised my little one with an extra piece of candy for the road. I definitely need to go back for more candy and check out the old school toys she brought into stock. Even through covid, they have tried their hardest to stay open and I give her and her family props for that. Continue to support small businesses because they truly care for their customers the most!

    I had a trip planned to San Diego and looked on Tik Tok for cool places to go. I came upon The Something Sweet Shop and knew this would be one of my stops. Went by today and got a package of the pineapple sour belts. I am a HUGE fan, they are SO good!! Sour belts are my favorite and this is probably my favorite one I've tried. They're actually sour (which is a big thing for me) and taste great! Also grabbed a can of Toxic waste candy and Hot Tamales! Definitely recommend coming here if you're in town

    Cute hot wheels collection!

    The hidden gem next to the little pond. What a wonderful place to pick up a little treat right next to the views of Seaport. Such a great price range in little treats! A great place to go on a date or with the kids. Even better; it's a great safe place to visit during COVID. The owner is a San Diego native & is super friendly. She is very talented and has lots of other custom creations/art work at the shop!

    This shop is literally the cutest most amazing candy shop you'll find! I took my daughter in and they were so kind, we found everything we wanted and more! There is something for everyone! From nostalgic candy, cool new finds, and even adorable handmade earrings! This is a must visit for anyone to Seaport Village...but especially candy lovers! We will be back for sure!

    Rows and rows of candy and games

    This shop is as cute as candy stores come! As soon as I walked in, I was transported back to my childhood. The walls are lined with colorful candy of all types, old school games and even art from local artists. The staff is incredible and you can tell the care that they put into making your experience one to remember. I recommend getting one of their vintage sodas and your fave childhood candy and enjoying the sunset - their shop is right along the water in the middle of Seaport Village. Can't wait to come back!

It's a cute…read morelittle shop that feels like a hidden gem, especially if you're someone who appreciates good quality chocolate. They have a great variety to choose from, whether you're into milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even non dairy options. I also love that they offer chocolate drinks and coffee, so it's easy to turn a quick stop into a little treat moment. I tried the peanut butter dates and they were so good. Smooth, rich, and just the right size when you want something sweet without going overboard. I also had a dark chocolate truffle and that one was just as good. You can really taste the quality. Customer service was a highlight. The guy helping me was super personable, gave great suggestions for drinks, and was genuinely kind, which always makes the experience better. Honestly, I'm just happy I found a chocolate spot within walking distance. Definitely worth stopping by if you're craving something sweet but still want it to feel a little elevated.

I sampled chocolate from Peru, Madagascar, and Kenya, and they all had unique fruity characteristics. Because they're vegan, so they use oat milk for their chocolate instead of dairy. My wife and I also wanted some drinks while we were here. I had a hot chocolate. My wife had hers with espresso shots. Good espresso in pure chocolate will never not be good. They are family owned and they only add chocolate, sugar, and oat milk to make their bars. Overall, this was a fun place to check out at Little Italy, and they also had a stall at the Farmer's Market.
