    New store and factory
    Liza M.

    The new Buffets is open on Academy just east of San Mateo. I'm a longtime buffets supporter. I have been going to the popcorn cannery since I was a kid in the N/S valley and of course the location on Lomas with the big candy cane out front. The new location is huge. Big windows inside do you can see the magic happening while workers are diligently making chocolates. You can also get the popcorn (a bit expensive) but everything is these days. Lots of variety, bright and everyone was super helpful.

    The second location of the famous Buffett's Candies is now open! The place is spectacular. We were immediately greeted by a friendly staff member. She gave us a tour of the production area. I have to go back when it's running. This building is done so well. Spacious, modern and playful. I'm so impressed! There's a lot of chocolate choices, some I'd never seen before. We a bar of milk chocolate. Absolutely delicious! You should go!

    Albuquerque's iconic gourmet handcrafted candy store has sweetened our lives with a second location. The Academy location is retro-themed and even has a viewing window in the kitchen, so you can watch the Confectioners create their magic--it's like Willy Wonka, but without the Oompa Loompas. The employees are friendly and helpful. This gigantic store has so many displays that it's like a candy labyrinth. I make it a point to stop at Buffett's Candies for holidays and special occasions. Their gourmet popcorn is an absolute must-try; it's light, puffy, and has a perfectly crunchy candy coating. With so many flavors, I frequently pop in--pun totally intended. One of my personal indulgences at Buffett's Candies are the chocolate-covered piñons and the piñon turtles. These treats are so delicious, they should come with a warning label: highly addictive. I highly recommend visiting the second location of this store; it's a guaranteed delight and might just become your new happy place.

    Today is a nice summer day. The sun is shining, the butterflies are flying and I see smiles all…read morearound me I'm walking around Coronado Mall and decide to take my nephew Weezer into FuzziWig's Candy Factory for a sweet candy treat. Whether it be a prepackaged candy bar or their fudge that is out for display. While he is browsing their offerings to fill his sweet tooth craving I decide to pull up my handy dandy Yelp app to get a little more info on this here candy factory. Low and behold..... it's the 2nd business I tried to check into in the mall...only to find out they were not listed. Being the awesome person I am I asked the Candy Stripper (cashier in layman terms) behind the counter if she had a business card so that I can add their business info as I'm sure other Kool Yelpers have frequented this spot while sludging through the trenches of the mall. She was less than enthusiastic about my inquiry even after I asked her if she was aware of the Yelp website. Needless to say she was neither friendly or in anyway personable to any if the patrons I saw in the shop while we walked around. While I don't like being negative or sending out negative vibes I will come back soon and give them another shot. I can only hope they become more sugary and sweet and one would expect the employees to be in a place that normally brings joy and sunshine to young and old alike.... positives: nice candy selection. my nephew picked out a sucker with a grasshopper. oh joy!!!

    If you have a sweet tooth, you likely already know about Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. My…read morefavorites are the Chocolate Caramel Apples with nuts, Dark Chocolate Raspberry Jellie Sticks, and the Irish Cream Truffles. So, so good! I've been to different locations of this company as far away as California and I've always considered the goodies there to be special treats. I recently wanted to send a gift of candy apples to a relative back east so I got on the website to place my order. To my great disappointment, the apples were listed as ''available in store only.'' I didn't want to go inside a store because of covid so I gave a call to a local Albuquerque store in the Coronado Mall. The customer service there is fantastic! I spoke to Shay who was super nice and helpful! I told her what I was trying to do and she let me know that her store was actually locally owned and they do ship candy apples! I didn't have to go to the store since she let me place my order by phone. It was as easy as could be. She even sent me the tracking number after dropping the box off at the UPS office. That kind of customer service is way too rare. I'm glad to have a local business to support that sells great chocolates for special gifts. I'm also looking forward to when it is safe to go out and do in-person shopping again so I can pick up some treats for myself!

I eventually found the hot sauce section, which, incidentally, is incredibly well organized, including the cool display for the Ass Kickin' stuff (prices on the hot sauces are outstanding and there are several I have seen here and nowhere else), but I wish the rest of the store was organized similarly. The entire thing screams clutter and spicy products (I think, I tried really hard to find them all, but maybe (probably) missed some) are maybe 20% of the floor space. The rest is coffee and mugs and t-shirts and pinon stuff and just random...shit. Back to my confusion...I don't understand why this place is called Chile ADdict when so little of the inventory is related to piquancy. I guess calling it a gift shop would be less interesting, maybe? Anyway, if you have a lot of time and patience to spend carefully hunting and foraging around this (sometimes precariously and hapazardly) scattered array, it can definitely be rewarding, but it won't be fast.
