Quick stop with the boys. Many candy choices all pre-packaged at quarter pound portions for easy price determination. There is a lollipop in the back touted as the largest in Colorado that is good for a picture (or selfie if you prefer). Friendly employees.

Nice selection of candies, chocolate, ice cream and now even a couple caramel apples. Definitely something for every taste...large variety of bottled sodas as well. Like taking a little step back into a less ugly time ...

This is a great candy shop for kids or adults, it has a fun nostalgic feel and sells some candys you dont find in newer candy stores often, it has some old fashioned soda as well if your craving a drink, Customer service is great and no matter the sweet tooth youll always be able to find something.

Not only is the selection and service great, the gregarious young man behind the counter played the best music mix on all of Tejón Street! Kept us listening, kept us buying! Well done, see you again soon.Susy

We were visiting from out of state and stopped into this candy shop our last night. It was such a great way to end our vacation! Loved the service, loved the vibe, loved the picture backdrop, loved the chocolate covered almonds, and sour gummies! Visit this place!

Great location, but not as friendly as a candy shop should be. Is there another way to display the great selection of candy and fudge. This place should be an experience. Is there anything new out there?

The gentleman helping us was super friendly and engaging. We usually wouldn’t let your kids go into candy stores but we were on vacation so it was fun to see them be actually ‘kids in a candy store’ they got chocolate raisins and yogurt raisins which they loved. I got some of the homemade peanut butter fudge which was delicious as well.

Awesome candy store. Vintage and brings back so many memories of old school candy shops. It is nice to not have to drive to the north end of CoSp to enjoy hard to find candy and decadent chocolates. Staff was super friendly and the store is very clean. Highly recommend the truffles.

Deborah was wonderful and extremely sweet. She also cleans very thoroughly. Sunday mornings are the best time to go on the weekend, before church lets out because I was able to browse for an hour with only people coming in twice. Their store is so colorful and it makes you feel like you are actually in the board game Candyland. I just wish they had more than a three options as far as bag selection. With their store so colorful, I think their bags should be just as colorful. I will see if Deborah told her daughter, the manager about my suggestion because I will definitely be going back.

Review №38

The options here are not very wide. If you are wanting bulk nameless candy brands here is your place. I thought it was a little bit more on the pricier side of the bulk candy sellers here in Colorado Springs. I recommend checking this place out not on a drinking night, you will break the bank quicker than you will realize. I give the 3 stars because I liked that they are local and that they are conveniently located.

Review №39

Helpful staff, delicious candy, lots of variety of candy, fairly reasonable prices. Good location as well, easy to notice.Only complaint would be that it seems to miss some obvious candies like cowtails, and that the floor is kind of coming up so its a bit unsettingling to walk on.

I love this place but was extremely disappointed Saturday night when I got a friend to come check it out with me. We looked online and the hours say till 10pm. We rush down there get there like 3 minutes before 9pm and get told to come back another time because they are closed.

Review №45

They say they charge by the 1/4 lb. But thats not what the receipt said. Took grandkids there on my visit. Paid $51 for for 4 small bags. Looked at receipt when we got home and theres no weight measures. Charged for more expensive chocolates. Will never recommend nor visit there again!!

Review №46

Great fun to walk through. Love the selection, but $40 dollars of stale candy is just not my idea of quality. Somebody needs to FIFO the selections. You could see the older product underneath new product that had been dumped on top.

Review №47

No sampling, no fun! Seriously, I cant have a tiny sample of fudge before buying? I have to buy at least $2 of o e type of jellybean? Seems to me that if youre going to have a candy store in a major downtown location, you need to be friendly and welcoming. This place was not!

La
Review №48

Good selection but were charged $27 dollars for maybe three pounds of jelly beans when the sign said 3.95/lb no way we had 9lbs!!!! Maybe she didn’t clear the candy weigh due to yelling across the store at another customer. Won’t be going back.

We were looking for pickle candy canes but no luck. Got an assortment of candied nuts instead. Toffee pecans were amazing. A few types of almonds but 2 kinds were really bad like either the nuts were spoiled (?) or the product was stale. No big deal I guess.

Review №51

Their truffles and toffee are amazing. I dont look at much else though. Would be nice if fudge was made in house as well.

Review №53

Checked this place out and will definitely be coming back.I really like how strict they are on their santition requirements - they supply gloves, tongs and scoops for everyone so there is no risk of contamination.The variety is endless. I found stuff I didnt even know existed. They have everything from chocolate covered goodies like nuts, seeds, and gummies. Plus several flavors of rock candy, jelly beans, bubble gums and more. As well as the classic favorites of m&ms and skittles, etc. The staff is attentive and friendly and greet you as soon as you walk in the door. The Candy is delicious and tastes fresh, where as some places with buckets of candy, it tends to taste stale or tastes like the surrounding candies, not here though. The store itself is definitely bigger than it looks too.Street parking or you can find a lot nearby as its downtown CoS

Review №54

Awesome selection of stuff, but the fudge I purchased was hard and dry while the girl working had the I dont want to be here attitude. Better off going to the one in Manitou, or some place else altogether.

Review №56

The Candy Bar is a joke. I mean, if you like ants crawling around in your candy, visit the Tejon location. If you like truffles that expired in 2016, youre in luck! Bc you can get those at every location. Its seriously disgusting that they are selling expired, overpriced(and probably contaminated) candy to KIDS!!! The owner does her thinking with a nearly empty box of rocks and leaves this business in the hands of a ratchet, uneducated, trashy, vindictive and SPUN out tweaker. The treatment displayed by Felicia and Alva toward not only their employees (who they take complete advantage of, pay under the table and borderline abuse) but also the things they SAY about their customers! The children and families whose contributions for nasty, expired candy pays their bills are mocked and looked down on. If Ive ever seen a horrible business unworthy of its employees and customers, this is it. DO NOT help keep this company in business. Its a sorry and pathetic means to an end for some the worst, most manipulative and shelfish people youll ever come across. Their true business is taking advantage of the kind hearted, compassionate people who, against their better instincts, give them the opportunity to finally give instead of take. A sorry business run by sorrier people.

Review №58

Disgusting Fudge. Threw it away.The fudge was hard and very bitter tasting. I chose the fudge because it was locally made while the rest of the candy in the store is standard bulk candy. But the fudge was so bitter and tasted so bad I just threw it away. The rest of the candy is over priced. Go to Cocao Chemistry across the street instead.

Review №60

Great atmosphere, but over priced candy. It would maybe worth it, but the candy taste old and stale. Im expecting my gummies to be soft and chewy not hard an dry. The pricing was very misleading. As it appears $3 and some change per pound. To be at the register paying $34 worth bc its a by the quarter pound. They should definitely make that price verbally known before even scooping candy out.

Review №64

Not satisfied at all. Literally every single piece of toffee I bought from this place earlier (over 100) is rock hard. Cracked one of my childs teeth. The gummies I also got for my child were rock hard. Did not know this till after we had already went home. I definatly will not be coming here again and I would recommend not going here unless you want stale rock hard candy

Review №71

Great selection, but a little pricey. This is one of those impulse buy stores that you cant help but check out when youre walking by and not on a tight schedule. The candy is more expensive here than buying it elsewhere, but you already knew that. Then again, where are you going to buy gummy fried eggs?

The staff is extremely friendly and courteous however the prices extremely high everything is sold bye the quarter pound and when you get done you end up paying $12 a pound for miscellaneous candy even their packaged candy is inflated in price this establishment is more of a novelty candy shop however they do have quite an extensive collection of truffles
