If you're even remotely a candy person, Sweeties is dangerous in the best possible way. I'm a…read morefull‑blown candy freak, so I actually have to limit my visits, if I walked in here too often, I'd lose every ounce of self‑control and walk out with half the store. But honestly... what a way to go. Every time I do treat myself to a visit, it's pure joy. The aisles feel like a time machine stocked with everything I grew up eating, the classics, the throwbacks, the "I forgot this even existed" gems. It's the kind of place where you catch yourself smiling at a random shelf because a candy bar just unlocked a childhood memory. The store is bright, fun, and packed with options, and the staff keeps everything tidy and easy to browse. Whether you're hunting for something specific or just letting nostalgia guide you, it's impossible not to have a good time here.

Walking in to Sweeties Candy is like walking in to sugar heaven! There are so many aisles and…read moreshelves of old and new treats galore! I was looking for something that would have been an import from Europe which they unfortunately don't carry but it seems like they had nearly everything else under the sun! They were oh so helpful in helping me look and once I found the right name we figured out they didn't have it but they had some things that were close enough! They were all very friendly and helpful with my search and I'm so grateful! Now that's I've finally made it in, I know exactly where I need to go for all the rest of the treats that I could possibly be looking for! They even have chips and popcorn plus some seasonal toys too!

I have always been fascinated by Charlie and Chocolate Factory and the amazement of what the…read morefactory looks like behind closed doors. For about twelve years, I have made Cerreta's my go-to place to find local candies and chocolates to give as gifts, treats for my wife, co-workers, and me, and an all-around fun experience. Whether it is Glendale's Chocolate Affaire or getting local-made chocolate for any holiday, I've always had fun visiting the store as opposed to just purchasing their chocolates in local grocery stores. When you first walk into the store, you see the individual wrapped chocolates all the way on the left with the boxed and bagged gift sets in the middle aisle of the store, and taffies and other candies on the right side of that. Immediately to the right when you arrive is the factory itself and the entrance to their tour. Similar to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, Cerreta's also provides tours of their chocolate-making process with special treats at the end. This is great for groups, classes, or families and always makes for a fun photo op and a tasty experience. Cerreta's offers candy and nuts, popcorn, barks, brittles, and toffee, taffy, gifts, novelty items, sugar-free items, merchandise, and holiday items, which you can also purchase online. When you arrive, you are typically offered a complimentary chocolate. On each visit, I'll typically get some gifts for out of town friends and family, some chocolates for my wife and I to share, and some to bring into the office. My wife's favorite chocolates are dark and milk chocolate fudge cream, dark orange melt away, milk chocolate raspberry melt away, and milk chocolate mousse. In addition to this, I also like white orange dreams, dark chocolate strawberry cream, milk chocolate vanilla cream, s'mores, and French mint. In fact, it is French mint that Cerreta's is known for. I have a conference next week, and I got a two pound box of French mints as a silent auction item for a charity fundraiser at the conference. You can visit the Cerreta's website at https://cerreta.com. In addition to online purchases, you can learn about locations around the state where you can buy their candies and/or chocolates, how to use the GrubHub delivery service, educational VIP tours and other teacher resources, and details on signing up for their newsletter to get the latest updates on new products and sales. Cerreta Candy Company is a family-owned business founded more than 50 years ago by Jim Cerreta, Sr., who moved to Arizona from Ohio. There are now four generations of the candy business overseeing the production and operations of the chocolates and candy. They are open Monday through Saturday from 8 AM to 6 PM and located in the heart of downtown Glendale with plenty of parking outside. The service is wonderful! I've never seen an employee who wasn't smiling working there. If you haven't been to Cerreta's yet, you HAVE TO go and check it out. There are gifts for any occasion, and creative gifts at that. But make sure you get something special for yourself when you visit. Enjoy!!

I've gone here for years…read more The treats are consistently delicious. Service is always friendly. They have a big parking lot, so I've never had an issue parking. They have tours and so many different candies to try and great gifts for the sweets lovers in your life. One thing that my minis are a fan of are the "make your own chocolate" so you can create custom treats. The chocolate is delicious and you get a decent selection of options to include for your custom treats. It's fun to do on a random day if you're trying to find things to do as a family or it'd be a cute day date tbh. Would I come back? Yes, always.

That is an amazing price. And the flavor of the pecan and the coconut ones are perfect. I will be back for so many more flavors. And the fun find: San Miguel Flor de Calabaza. Who knew you could buy hand squash blossoms? I'm going to try to find an enchilada type recipe to try them in. Very friendly service and easy to move through the store.

Most of the candies and chocolates were unique ones that I've had something similar but not this before, so I had the opportunity to try a few of the candies and chocolates when I got home.

Talk about an awesome selection of candy and chocolate! You have a couple of options. You can create your own bag of goodies from a vast selection. You then pay based on the weight of your bag. Pick up a scooper and customize things to your heart's content. Outside of that, they have a ton of novelty sweets (and even some drinks). We're talking matcha Kit Kats, a Duff beverage (from The Simpsons), overpriced Dubai chocolate, and much, much more. You'll find a bunch of sweet treats here that you won't find at your neighborhood grocery store. This is the type of place that kids will love. And also a good place to buy a cool gift for someone.
