This is how you run a small business. I’m in Atlanta, GA and was looking for chocolate dipped strawberries for my 5yo niece’s birthday. Randy didn’t have any strawberries but he talked through options he did have like a custom candy basket, a gift card and candy basket combo, or an electronic gift card so she could have her own little candy shopping spree! He even offered to deliver since she lives near by. I thought I’d spend at least an hour or two today trying to get a gift to her. Randy had it figured out in
What a precious little shop. This candy shoppe has it all. I loved taking my 6 year old daughter in to see all the vintage style candies. It was so fun letting her pick out the ones she wanted to try. The owner is so great and I hear they are opening a party room...cant wait to give it a go. Only one thing I wish they had...A SHOPPE IN BOTHELL!!!
Lovely little candy shop, the owner is very nice.Items made in-house (chocolate covered X, malted milk balls, etc) have a lot of chocolate coating.
This is by far my favorite shop in Ballard and my favorite candy shop Ive had the pleasure to frequent. The candy selection is impressive but I come here for the handmade treats - specifically the fudge. The fudge flavors are vibrant, the texture is melt-in-your-mouth smooth, and it lasts as long as my will to eat it slowly! And the owner, Randy, is an incredibly kind man who has offered to make me fudge on request - multiple times - as my favorite flavor (mint chocolate) doesnt always make the rotation. But the flavors are worth exploring and youll easily find a favorite, if not two or three more (the red velvet is a close second for me). Highly recommend; your taste buds will thank you!
Holy cow! Ive been to a lot of candy shops and this one is the best! Super friendly staff and Nostalgic collection of candy from your childhood. Must visit!
Beautiful, little, old school candy shop. Great candy selection but where this place shines is their handmade selection. It’s a small selection executed superbly. The fudge, peppermint bark and peanut butter cups will be the best you have ever had. We stopped by Sunday during the weekly market and the gentleman behind the counter was very kind and appreciative of the business. After we had the bark and peanut butter cup we came back the next day to restock, the girl behind the counter was friendly and upbeat. All around a must stop in Seattle!
Adorable candy store. The owner is very friendly! The fudge is fantastic!
This place is the real deal. Real owners, who are engaged, and deeply care about their customers. I phoned Randy to arrange a special custom order for a dear client, and he went the extra mile to make sure they received the VIP treatment. Thank you Randy and Team!
Nice staff. Great variety.
It has everything I loved when I was a kid! The owner is just as sweet as the treats he sells. Im excited to have found a true candy shop...there simply arent enough sweet shops in the world anymore.
Much bigger location than old place. Parking is tough as there is very little street parking due to dining areas on street.
Love Sweet Mickelson. So much more fun than a big box store!
Not only are the owner and employees unbelievably nice, but their fudge is phenomenal. It melts in your mouth and every flavor that Ive tried is delicious. Its not cheap, but its more than worth it.
Wonderful selection! We were making a basket for end of braces celebration, and the sticky and crunchy treat options are top notch! Thank you!😃
I went to so many stores today and everyone had such a bad and rude attitude and I kept thinking about this place and how I wish every store was as friendly as the owner and this girl who was working there she told us she is going to Princeton soon. The moment me and others walked in she was so friendly and helpful with everything. Not only that but their candy selection is phenomenal. I am so impressed by your customer service I spent more money than I had anticipated. :))I highly recommend this place. High five for amazing customer service and great candy
The young woman behind the counter was incredibly friendly and helpful. I am taking candy overseas and she helped us pack those separately! Great customer service and exactly what I’d expect out of someone running a candy store :)
Great licorice assortment and good truffles !!
Good selection.
I had a lovely experience shopping here! I was looking for some small chocolate presents for Christmas, and the clerk took the time to help me find personal gifts for each of my friends that matched their tastes. They even had me sample some of the goodies before buying them, and may I say that they are truly delicious! I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to add a personal touch to their gift giving!
Good selection of hard to find vintage and international candies. Large selection of chocolate covered items, bulk bins, and licorice from Europe.Fudge is made in-house and is really good!They also have a case of truffles and other delicious chocolates.10c and 25c candy bins too!They serve Tillamook ice cream (6 flavors).Love this place!
Just discovered this place thanks to a coupon for a free scoop of ice cream. This shop is ADORABLE and I believe it was either the store owner or a manager that checked me out tonight and he was incredibly friendly.Clean shop, wide variety of options, yummy ice cream, and you have GOT to try his pumpkin fudge!! I got a little sample of it then HAD to buy a chunk of it. He will also let you try the candies in the store so you know youll like what youre getting.The music just feels like an old school candy shop too. I loved the vibe in this shop - Ill be back :) 10/10
The owner is super nice and the girls working are as well. great selection of candy. Im so happy they moved to a better location in Ballard.
Lots of fun candies, take the kids
This is the best place for candy and nuts. There is a great variety of both, and the nuts are roasted and coated on site.Whats good to see is that the owner, Randy, caters to the kids buying two pieces with their quarters and dimes, as well as to the larger folk using their disposable income.
Its an amazing store! Love the selection of hard to find candies.
Fantastic candy shop. The girl behind the counter was extremely helpful and had tons of suggestions and personal favorites. Spent more money than I should have. I will definitely be returning whenever Im in Seattle.
Friendly owner gave us a warm welcome and sold us some delicious home-made fudge. We love it, will come back there. and recommend it to anyone who is looking for something sweet!Moreover, the chocolates and other candy looked delicious but we didnt try any.
Chloe is the BEST. Amazing candy shop with a truly wide variety of items. Not sure how I was able to leave. Delicious fudge and definitely stop by if youre in the area!
Andy is welcoming, helpful and friendly every time. The selection of candy is pretty comprehensive for a small store with good quality. As a testament to its success, theyre opening another store as well further down in Ballard.
Real good selection of candies and chocolate that you don’t find in other stores. Friendly staff willing to walk you through their options. Will come back.
Wonderful and tasty candy selection and would come again with family and friends. Candy makes a great gift.
They had a lot of cool candies some retro some I have never seen before. The only problem is that the process are a little too high but it is fun for a little treat.
Really cute, old-school feeling candy shoppe with amazing fudge. The service is super friendly, offering free samples, and theres a ton of different candies to choose from. Great little find!
Where to start .... The Sea Foam! You must try it. It can`t be explained it`s just so yummy. Also, get the owner to tell you how the store got its name and what he did before starting the shop over a scoop of ice cream. Fascinating!
Such a great place! We were in town from Portland visiting the zoo and found this gem. Mickey was so kind and had an amazing selection! Candies, we had never tried also. We will be back!
Very unique and broad selection of candy and chocolate, and the service was top notch! The salt water taffy might be the best Ive ever had.
It would be impossible to list the myriad wonderful aspects of Sweet Mickeys in a review, so really my advice is just to go. If you need more details Ill just throw out a few telling anecdotes. On my recent stop in for holiday gift sweets, I witnessed: Randy, the owner, happily scheme with a mother who wanted to hide some scavenger hunt sweets around the shop for her unknowing children that would (theoretically) clue their way there; An adult regular who walked in a little out of breathe because she needed a quick treat for the bus she was about to be late for; Randy explaining how their gift cards (Sweet Bucks?) come in $1 increments because a dollar will actually go pretty far there, especially in younger hands, all the while encouraging selection by sampling first! Most of this happened in one surge, yet everyone was somehow treated like family walking through the door. The treats speak for themselves. I couldnt be happier with every dollar Ive spent there.
OMG, if my dentist found out I visited this store, I would be charged a premium for future services. Best selection of proper candy in state if not the Pacific Northwest!
Nice little candy shop in downtown Ballard. Great place to get afix for that sweet tooth.
Dark chocolate sea salt caramel fudge is my favorite treat to get in all of Seattle, plus the owner is a really cool guy!
Cute little candy shop with sour belts and licorice.
Great old fashioned candy store. Very friendly, fun place to visit.
So much great candy from around the world, in such a tiny space! Everyone is friendly and excited about sharing their experiences with sweets.
Great selection of reasonably priced candy and fudge.
Sweet service and even sweeter treats. Awesome find just walking about
The homemade fudge melts in your mouth.
So good! If youre on a diet, stay away, because you will not be able to stop eating their candy once you start. I recommend the chocolate covered gummy bears.
Some of the best truffles in North America. Good selection too.
Great fresh fudge, licorice, and ice cream. And, they are open late for those cravings after dinner!
Great place. Clean, friendly, and well organized.
Kid candy plus good grownup candy🍬🍭
I love this store and candy Randy is cool
The quality and service here is rare.
Awesome store...great personnel.
A huge and delicious variety of licorice!
The owner is amazingly nice!
Classic candy shop, our familys favorite!

I want more Micky in my life!!!
