I love an independent candy store!…read more While visiting Columbia Park, we stopped into Nelson's per our friend's recommendation. The inside was lined on both sides with some many different candies - I was almost overwhelmed! They had fresh fruit jellies, dark and milk chocolates, rock candy, marshmallows - I could go on and on! We took home the jellies, dark chocolate almond bark, a discounted Valentine's Day chocolate heart box, handmade marshmallows and a couple of other goodies! Staff were friendly! The inside had an old western feel to it and they even had old school cash registers. It's a great place to pick up a gift and they have different holiday options - I even saw St. Patrick's Day candy out already! Check them out!

I think Nelson's is my favorite candy store (ever). They hand make a lot of candies there, and in…read morethe wintertime they have candy cane making that people can do too! My favorite chocolates they make are pine nut rolls - which are also around the winter holidays. They always theme their shop around the season or holiday, and it's always well done and incredibly cute. The girls who work there are so friendly and helpful, and every time I've gotten candy as a gift for someone, their wrapping job is exquisite. I'm a local and it's a struggle not to just come get candy here every week. I recently went sugar free and they've even got something for me. Would absolutely recommend anyone stop in, they've got options for just about anyone.

I guess she didn't think that I was their mother maybe she thought I was a sibling because I do look quite Young my husband had to leave me behind in the fires because he's the one that flies the helicopters that fight fires sometimes. He's supposed to fly today that's why he had to leave me early this morning and couldn't wait for me to follow behind because he had a training flight day and night goggle visions tonight. So i took a detour to get back home would have been us going to Murphy's and going around. I wanted a pound of chocolate but I couldn't see how much it was per pound I think it was $14 dollars for half a pound but my eyes were burning and I didn't have glasses so I couldn't see I didn't even get a half pound or a full pound and then after I picked my chocolates she kept coughing over my chocolates I don't understand such a sweet little old lady why would she be not very pleasant to someone that's buying chocolates to make a happy day for someone. I'm a military wife just trying to make the best days out of days that are not so happy. I still ate the chocolate even though she coughed on them Lol I have an immune system problem and if she was sick I could get very sick because I have a weak immune system. I was ready to spend $100 cash but my older son pulled me away and said let's go mom because i was acting like a little girl in the candy shop not paying attention how rudely I was being treated. maybe you should remember making treats and candies are supposed to be a pleasant thing because when you cook you cook with love and generosity to show love towards others that's the model that i live by. because that's how our heavenly father teaches us to be kind to others.

My family and I have been to The Candy Vault a couple of times; I'm surprised I didn't post a…read morereview earlier! We stopped in this past weekend to see what new items they had. They have lots of different candy options - from the old classics like Big Chew Gum, Pop Rocks and even Clark bars to Harry Potter themed items and massive gummy candies. They also had a candy cigarette machine that was pretty cool to play with. They also sell in-house made chocolates and ice cream as well. While I do love chocolate, my favorite part of The Candy Vault is the super cool Willy Wonka themed museum room - from mementos to games to even fun facts; they also play the movie on loop. The Candy Vault is a cute old timey candy store, and while they don't necessarily sell anything out of the ordinary, the Willy Wonka room is a nice touch. The staff were friendly as well! I'm sure my family and I will be back again next time we are in downtown Sonora!

It was a bit smaller but the options did NOT disappoint they had my favorite chocolate marshmallow treats just one thing I wish they had was more sour candy options. Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough because there is always a lot going on in these candy shops but I never seem to find the sour stuff, I will try harder to keep an eye out next time! The service is wonderful there was an older lady who helped me that was SO sweet and she was on it! Being that it was 4th of July weekend as you can imagine this place was PACKED! But I still got my chocolates! I didn't get her name but she's an absolute sweetheart so major shout out to her!! The vibe as I mentioned was very busy lol. It's similar to the Columbia location but about half the size therefore half the crowd but still busy as heck! Perhaps heading there when they first open and all the chocolates and sweet treats are fresh is key to avoid the crowds!! All and all 1000/10 I will always come back to here!! It's their fresh milk chocolates for me!

Service is always great, with the amount of people that come in it's nice to see the staff always with a smile and dressed for the occasion. If you don't know the store downtown where the state park is, all the stores / shops / vendors, and live musicians all wear clothing from the gold rush era. It's pretty cool. The store is welll worth the stop , but try to get there early it's a small shop and they get pretty crowded fast.
