I am 55 years old and haven't had a Butterscotch Beer since around age 13. If you like retro Candy and soda, GO VISIT. Also connected to Busy Bee is a great antique shop. I will Yelp it soon.

Johanna's chocolates are amazing!!! They are hand crafted and perfect!!! These are the perfect gift…read morefor any one of any age!!! I have given Johanna's chocolates as gifts to neighbors for house sitting, teachers at the end of the year, friends for birthdays, and as a gift when invited to house parties!! Everyone raves about them! She is truly a master chocolatier! It's not always the easiest place to find but there is treasure at Johanna's that is well worth the search! Also if you are looking for unique items, she does really cute and delicious petit fours! For Mother's Day she had some that were shaped like bonnets and decorated with little flowers. My mom went crazy for them! Trust me, if your thinking "I'm just going to get chocolates at See's" stop yourself and try Johanna's. You won't be sorry!

Apparently I live in a hole and was never made aware that this place existed. I'm not Mexican;…read morehowever, I grew up in Delano and I absolutely love love love Mexican candies. So, a few of my coworkers were talking about this place and I was in shock to know that this place was sitting here in Bakersfield. I seriously went crazy in this store and bought over $40 worth of candy for Halloween and everyone that Trick-or-treated in my neighborhood this past Halloween told me that my house was their favorite house haha. They literally have any Mexican candy that you can think of and I think I may have found my new favorite Mexican candy here which is the round little puparindo bolas... bomb!!!! Don't get me wrong those fresa tamarindo balls are up there too... but I can always get both and still win here. So happy to have been informed about this place so I don't have to wait for a relative or coworker to go to Mexico to get my Mexican candy fix anymore and it's super affordable. I bought this huge 5lb party mix that cost about $12 Staff was pretty nice and it's not too busy inside. It's organized and clean and parking area is not huge, but since it's not too busy inside there's a lot of parking available.

The workers do not communicate with you at all. They do check you out very quickly though but it was difficult finding someone to help out in finding certain items. The location is also very strange to get into along with the parking. Lots of items were also not labeled with pricing or had incorrect pricing for different items. Overall I would recommend giving this place a try given it is one of the only ones I've been able to find that has variety of candy. Considering the amount of people moving here from LA county, this place could make lots of money if they step up just a little bit. It really gives off LA bulk buy.

Service was great, the staff was helpful with modifications and suggestions…read more The place is clean, cool and overall relaxed I enjoyed my visit. I had a rootbeer float. My wife had a s'mores sundae and my kid has the cookie dough. It was definitely sweet!

Disappointing Floats and Ice Cream Sodas…read more We love that Dewar's Express offers a drive-thru option where we can grab our favorite scoops of ice cream without having to get out of the car. When we visit the original downtown location, we also enjoy indulging in their floats and ice cream sodas, so we decided to give those a try tonight. Unfortunately, this experience was a complete letdown. I ordered my favorite soda with cherry flavoring, but what I received was far from what I expected. The scoop of ice cream was unusually small and had chunks of ice in it. Even worse, the drink was swimming in flat soda water. As for the cherry syrup? There was barely a hint of pink, let alone any noticeable cherry flavor. It also came in a smaller cup than I'm accustomed to receiving. We also ordered a root beer float, which had a tiny amount of vanilla ice cream drowning in a sea of root beer. At least that one wasn't flat! I'm left wondering if we were served a soda that had been sitting around for a while Either way, the quality was nowhere near what we've come to expect from Dewar's. We love the convenience of the Express location and the nostalgic treats that make Dewar's special, but this visit was disappointing. Please work on quality control and consistency. Whether it's the size of the scoop,the quality of the ice cream, the flavoring, or the carbonation, customers should be able to count on getting the same quality experience at the Express location that keeps them coming back to the original shope. Here's hoping this was just an off night!

This is a huge store in such a random location. Good to know it is here and it would be great…read moreduring the holidays to go here for gifts and then across the street to dewars for chews. Walked in and like I said it was a massive store, 2-3 times the size of other see's candies stores. It was clean, bright and empty, someone came out from the back after a second. Thankfully they had in stock what I Wanted- milk chocolate butterscotch squares, my favorite since high school. I had a gift card so asked for $20 Worth of the butterscotch squares, she put them in a bag for me which I thought a little strange- a box would have been better for the amount and bako heat but whatever. I tried to pace myself but I Ate up them butterscotch squares in about 3 days, pretty good though if you ask me.

This place is your typical over priced mall candy. I think it is like $16 dollars for half a pound…read moreof candy. That price isn't always visible either. I understand when I buy candy from the mall in one of these center Kiosks it is not going to be cheap. The two stars actually has nothing to do with the price. I feel like any business has the right to charge whatever they want, and if they make enough money to stay open, then that is great for them. I also like the idea that I can pick out what candy I want and exactly how much I want. It Is kind of like spending 8 dollars for a small soda at the movie theater. The reason for the 2 stars is two-fold. The first is due to their cleanliness. They have little cards that tell you not to lean on the little table or glass that houses the candy, but the workers are seen hanging on them and they leave their cell phones and food on top. That wouldn't be a problem if they didn't use that as a "sanitized place" to put the candy. I asked for 1 scoop of the sour cherries and they ended up putting like 4 Giant scoops in the bag. I questioned them and said I only wanted 1 scoop, and she said "I already put them in the bag, I can't put them out" (this is the second problem- they always try to upsell you and do it in a less than professional manner. I ended up telling them that I was not going to take that bag, and started to walk away. That is when they poured half the bag onto the table top and some cherries landed on her phone. She then scooted the leftover cherries back in the container. Make sure your immune system is up and you are firm with them with how many you want.

But because I didn't like the price, here's a little background. Continue to read if you want my rant. If not just understand See's is good but not real specialy chocolate pricy good. I always like coming to See's candies during the holidays.Not so much during the regular year, or else I'm going to have to change my lifestyle. If I want chocolate from See's candies i need to budget for it ,price checking The nuts and chews. (MY FAVORITES)1 pound box is $33. 2 pound box is $63. The Maple brittle is $22. The fancy gold boxes are $70 for the 2 pound and $40 for the one pound box, the soft centers are one pound for $33 and two pounds.$63 . To each his own / her own. As much as I like this place, I don't see that I need chocolate this much that I would pay these prices after going to Switzerland and getting "real" chocolate for about the same price. The quality level is still really different. And I don't think it's worth it. But the samples I had today,were good. Honestly, I don't know if they're $35 with tax for a pound.. good.
