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.

Prepackaged bags of popcorn in every flavor you can think of. They also have fresh popcorn ready to box up if you're a purist! The staff is friendly and helpful. I'm sure every review states this but it bears repeating. They only take cash here boring it with you or use the cash machine in store which has a $2 fee. Parking lot is small and it's a busy little strip mall.

Such a cute mom-and-pop shop in the cutest area of Hastings. The woman helping me was the absolute sweetest (possibly the owner?). She let me know this year they are celebrating 5 years.... So exciting. They also offer a great selection of candy and it was fun taking a walk down memory lane with all the nostalgic treats from childhood. And the smell when you walk in... talk about popcorn heaven! They have different sizes and flavors of popcorn. Popcorn is bagged right in front of you and you are able to mix and match flavors. I went with the classic butter and YUMMMMOOOO! I couldn't stop eating this stuff. There were so many buttery pieces. Seriously, buttery perfection with just the right amount of salt. I will definitely make the trip back here again and that could be very soon because my popcorn is already gone.

Of course you can mix these to make your favorite mix. As I walked in, the caramel corn was just being finished and it smelled heavenly inside the store. Yum, fresh caramel corn!! If popcorn is not your thing, there is a good assortment of vintage candy - Turkish taffy, Necco wafers, Charleston Chew, Skybar, etc. Also a great selection of chocolate, even some boozy options! There is a good assortment stuffed into such a small store. Worth stepping in and checking out especially if you are enjoying a walk by the river or looking through the local antique stores. Stop here to relax and refuel!

We also tried a sample of their strawberry flavor and that was delicious! You really can't go wrong with any of the flavors. Service was so friendly and helpful and I love supporting a business with such a wonderful mission. It's so cute inside, too with those popcorn lights. The owner said they hope to be online soon, so that will be great for ordering in between visits. They carry a line of soda pop from Northern Soda Company so we grabbed a few of those for a taste test later. Our favorite was the pontoon punch.

He told me they have been open since February and they are.a non-profit with a mission to hire folks with developmental disabilities. The owner's son has autism and that inspired him to create a place where people with disabilities could work. His son has his own line of pop products in the store. I grabbed a root beer and - I am very picky about my root beers - it was absolutely delicious. They have seasonal popcorn flavors as well as their regulars. You can get tubs, bags, or cups. You can also grab some cool merch while you're there! I got a tub of caramel popcorn, which was gone in an embarrassingly short amount of time. The tub was $10. I also got a limited time flavor, jalapeño cheddar. It wasn't my favorite because it was very cheesy and I don't like a lot of cheese on my popcorn. But if you do - definitely for you! I also got a T-shirt because their logo is awesome and I love that they are a nonprofit. I was the only person in here for the entire time I was there (30-45mins). They have tables and chairs to sit at, a wonderful atmosphere, and the staff are so friendly. I'd definitely recommend for your next movie night or a little snack with a friend.

Prices are about what you'd expect at a movie theater, so not cheap, but not shocking either. I ended up getting the jalapeño cheddar for the ride home. When I sampled it in the store, it was great--bold and cheesy with just the right kick. But by the time I ate more later, the texture had changed. It almost tasted wet or soggy, which threw me off a bit. Maybe it's best enjoyed fresh the day of? I'd be willing to go back and try a different flavor, but next time I'll probably eat it sooner rather than later.
