The staff was helpful and friendly during my November visit. Prices are high for chocolates these days, but likely similar to others. This place has been around a very long time and is a city staple. I would return.

I am originally from Newark Ohio and fondly remember Goumas candy as some of the best candy around…read more I left Ohio in 2010 and recently moved back. Sadly, while out of state Goumas fell off my radar but I'm here today to remind everyone how wonderful Goumas candy is and encourage you to visit one of their locations. They have three locations: Heath, Ohio, Granville, Ohio, and Newark, Ohio. We stopped in while waiting for the Licking County Courthouse Christmas lighting and for a brief time we were the only ones in the store located on the North side of the square in downtown Newark, Ohio. The cases were full of delightful candies and the two ladies behind the counter were cheerful and fun. They greeted us right away and my family chose several delectable candies ranging from chocolate covered Oreos and potato chips, to English Toffee, to Coconut Haystacks, to a wide range of truffles (my personal favorite). I escaped with a bag full of goodies to sample as we walked around the square as well as a box of assorted truffles. I highly recommend a visit to one of their three locations and don't forget to pick up your buckeyes!

There is false marketing in the store because there is a huge sign that says free samples inside and my children rushed to get the samples but were sadly disappointed when they came to realize that the store did not actually give free samples. The ambiance in the store was rude and negative and was not an experience I enjoyed. The children said the candy was good but I believe it was overpriced and they were out of stock with many items. They seemed annoyed when the children walked in which made them very upset. I overall did not enjoy this experience and neither did my children.

Candies are very good of course, so many to choose from and enjoy. Great for gift giving and a…read morefamily treat. We love their individually wrapped caramels, chocolate caramels, and pecan turtles. There is an older lady who seems quite arrogant, she denied me a sample - which I thought odd given I was buying Christmas treats for my family. As this was not off putting (initially), when I asked her how many workers made all the candy offering and trivia about Goumas (she responded as if I were a spy from a local candy shop trying to get intel). Pretty sure she said, "my husband does all of the caramels of course." So guessing she may be an owner. Great candy, could have been a one off experience. At $30 per pound, a sample and a few interesting facts about the Newark landmark Candy shop would have been a small and appreciated show of appreciation (in and of itself). Yoder Market has a variety of delicious Candies at much more reasonable prices and they, Thank me for my business (every time).

I called the number listed here soon after they opened, and inquired about getting 18 boxes of 6 buckeyes. They were able to accommodate me the same day, and had everything ready beautifully! Furthermore, we were so pleased with how friendly they are. We purchased a couple buckeyes to try for ourselves and oh my goodness, they were divine! I will definitely be recommending this shop for anyone looking for chocolates and buckeyes. Finally, our friends came from all over and had amazing things to say about the buckeyes. I will absolutely be back for more!

We checked their social media pages to see if there had been an announcement about an unexpected closure, but we couldn't find any information. It was a bit confusing and disappointing since we had made a special trip to visit. Hopefully this was just an isolated occurrence, as we weren't able to experience the products or the store itself. If you plan to visit, it may be worth calling ahead to confirm they're open before making the trip.

We were in town visiting my daughter and she wanted to try this place. On first impression, I was…read moreamazed at all the things offered for sale. I even found some "Old" candy we ate as a child. We looked around quite a while then found what we wanted. Some prices were a little high, but most were very reasonable. The lady in there was very friendly and willing to answer questions. She even tried to give a discount card, which I gave to my daughter and fiancé. Now, the look is different from the taste. We were disappointed. The stuff seemed older and very dry. The chocolate on the malted milk balls tasted like the cheap stuff you get at the dollar store. We probably won't go back even if in town. But maybe it was the stuff we picked, so check it out yourself.
