This place was awesome. Its combined with a toy store but the place was awesome. It had things and toys I had never seen candy Ive never seen and I was just amazed. Once again lucky I didnt have a bunch of money to spend because they had awesome paintings of Walt Disney characters and I admit that theres two of them in there that I want to buy. We had a great in this place and I cant wait to come back.

My daughter took a basket and was able to reach all the candy she could carry. I love the kids friendly height of the candy barrels. She racked up over$100 in sweet treats. It was so fun.

This candy store is AWESOME! if you like hard candy, sour patch, salt water taffy and more! It is beautifully organized and so colorful! I came in here and didn’t know where to start. It’s as if I was a kid again. Some of the candies in here are stuff from like when I was younger!!!Staff: they were helpful and friendly. One guy saw I had a lot of stuff in my hands and he handed me a little basket. The girl at the cash register was telling us about some of the candies in the store and she had us try chocolate covered crickets! Ewww!!! But according to my nephew it tasted like KitKat and had a crunch like it Hahahaha! See video!They were open late on a Saturday night. Forgive me if I can tell you the time they close. But, I know I got out of a show that ended at 10pm so I know there were open late! Awesome candy store!!!

Cute little place. A lot of gummy stuff, and taffy. Over priced, but, its a fun place to stop and get a few pieces.We got 3 chocolates from the candy case, and a little bag of gummies. 15 bucks. There was a girl walking atound town to give out a free sample coupon. She was super nice, all smiles, and having fun. When you go to claim the sample, they dont want the paper. lolWhen you go in, its a bit different. The girl on the register was all business, get your sh.... and get out type. A guy on the stairs yelling you get a free candy, and you get a free candy.Glad we stopped in.

Review №21

Great place! Staff are helpful and patient, youre allowed to sample two taffies, and theres loads of candy. Only problem is that its usually packed, which isnt helpful since half the stores room is filled with barrels of candy. Great for the whole family, but dont bring your infants.

This store is amazing! They have old school candy that brings back so many great memories and fun new candies. Barrels & barrels of every candy you can think of plus a full chocolate bar. Every time I come to Sac I go in there and wish it was my store. The owner is such a great guy, friendly, knowledgeable of every candy in the store. Thank you for bringing out the kid in me.

Great selection of candy, but very expensive. I walked out with a bag of $30 worth of candy. Its definitely not going to be a frequent stop for me, but a once in a while treat. The employees were nice and helpful, even though the place was packed.

So on the street someone handed me a piece of paper to try a free sample. We all went inside and were blown away by the rows and rows of candy. The smell of sugar just washes over your senses. The man with long hair welcomed us in with a joke and a smile. We were sampling so many things the kids will have to brush extra tonight. The owner even offered me a chocolate covered Cricket. It was so good! Would come back again for sure.

Review №53

We have been visiting the store often on for 20 years. Always fun. But the last time I visited the majority of the taffy and hard candy I brought home was stale. Some of the taffy was actually crunchy. None was soft. Some of the hard candy was was a bit soft. Very disappointed. I’ve never experienced this before so we will go back and try again, but I hope they will get rid of the old stock rather than moving it to the top of the barrel. Also, people need to quit being jerks and stealing from them. I saw way too many people sampling from way too many bins when they are only supposed to try one or two.

It is a BIT expensive..more than other stores but normal for the Old part of Sacramento. They have a great variety of candies and you can TRY the ones with the BLUE tag. Everyone was very nice...The cashier made me laugh and without knowing it was exactly what I needed. They have also a lots of LOLLIPOPS and HONEY STI KS. Once again,only downside is the price and I still bought candies!

A nice candy store visit in Old Town Sacramento. They allow you 2 free samples of taffy or anything with a blue card. Maybe a little bit busy with around 10-15 people when I was there. The staff was kind and friendly. Many different options of candy from freshly baked chocolate to hard candies to soft candies even to name brand candies. Overall a nice environment and atmosphere, that anyone would enjoy.

Cute little shop in old sac area. It was a bit chintzy for my likes in a candy store though. While it was cool to see some of these, especially the older classic staples it was simply not cool enough for me to spend the $$ it was priced out at.Store was nice and clean, easy to navigate if not a bit overwhelming with all the options available. Everything was clearly labeled, just a bit tightly packed.

I love this place! Ive been coming here since I was a kid. Its definitely authentic and a special place and a go to in Sacramento. You can try all of the toffee and its sold by the weight. Its supper old school, so youll feel like you walked into a time vortex into the past. The location is in Old Sac and it has the wild west kind of vibes. Its pretty cool!

Re
Review №91

We love stopping here every time we go to Sacramento! They allow you to sample several varieties of candy before your purchase. And there are barrels upon barrels of old fashioned as well as modern candies, plus a whole side room section of probably a hundred or more flavors of salt-water taffies. Sometimes theyll do a challenge and ask volunteers to try something unusual such as a candied cricket or an extra hot candy. There are many candy stores in Old Town but this one is a must!

Whatever we are in town walking about we always stop and go through the store. This is a great place to go and look at all the different kinds salt water taffy that they offer. We always end up buying stuff for us and our neighbors back home. There product is nice and fresh and very good. It is always a treat to watch children walking through the stores weather disbelieving look on their faces.

Review №96

Everything you could ever want in a candy store except the staff were like zombies. I had to mention something to the manager. If you’re going to sale anything, put on a cheerful face and greet people. I still take my sweet tooth visitors on a stroll through there just because. Never had anyone not find something they liked.

This store has the absolute largest candy selection I have ever seen in my life. Its an amazing selection of sweets of all kinds. Gummies, chocolate truffles, hard candies, candy bars, bubble gum, and literally every type of sweet you can imagine. Their selection of saltwater taffy alone is worth the visit! Theres an impressive selection and youll definitely feel like youre as close as you can get to Willy Wonkas factory. They also allow a selection of free samples! Always a great place to visit when youre in Old Town Sacramento.
