Great selection and nostalgic candy! We found anything from Mexican candy to the cactus candy

Zhennifo C.

Store is kept very clean and organized with a good variety from all over the world. Customer service is excellent, Cris was super nice and helpful while we shopped around. They're also open late, for those who get the late night cravings!

Christine's hospitality was better than Chick Fila second mile service!!! Thank you for your hospitality Lady Of Victorious Experiences and Candy Addicts. Ps. Loved the original Bazooka soda!!

Razzles, Laggy Taffy and a plethora of assorted candy and gum.

So if you have a thing for candy, we'll this is definitely your spot. We walked in looking for a Mars bar and we were not disappointed at all. Found our Mars bar and then some. Jamming to some classic songs. Now if you are looking for parking, well, that will be an issue as this place is located in one of the busiest college districts in Tempe, with plenty of different vendors all around. Have fun. read more

This is a great little store, I enjoyed popping in and looking around. They had a lot of fun things and goodies to look at and choose. There was a tiny line of people ahead of me, they greeted you on arrival and told you to have a nice day as we bought our sodas and left. Nice selection of bulk candy. And a few tchotchkes for collectors. read more

Damn, you should check out the Candy Addict in Tempe. Me and some friends stopped here on our last trip and we bought some of the Ol Skool Candies we grew up eating as kids. I got Now And Laters, Lemon Heads, Johnny Apple Treats, Boston Baked Beans, and many others. They sell Pop Rocks and Fun Dips. My girlfriend love sweets too. I made sure I bought her favorite candies as well. NIce cool store here. I love the vibe. I feel like a kid in a candy store. read more

Cool little shop with unique candies, and a plethora of equally saccharine Hello Kitty items. They have British chocolates such as Yorkies, Aeros, and Crunchies, old-school candies such as Chick-o-Stick and Bosco (In chocolate bar form), as well as delectable modern chocolates from Vosges Haut-Chocolate. There's a good selection of sugar-free candies as well. Prices are a little high, but you're paying for the nostalgia and unique nature of the candies. I picked up some hard-to-find cherry and peach sour patch candies, and Haribo lemon-ginger gummies. The total was around $6. In general, a cool store to browse in and buy some sugary treats. read more

A bit pricey, but one of the best collections of sweets I've ever seen. They have struck a good balance between standard stuff you'd find at the supermarket, international items which you won't see, and old timey sweets which are just plain cool. No matter when you were born, you will see familiar sweets from your childhood! On shelving circling the shop, you will find a whacky assortment of lunch boxes (many of them hello kitty), plush toys, and souvenir paraphernalia from TV shows and film. The collection which is all for sale has never been the same any of the times I've been there so it leads me to believe that collectors are picking them up and they don't stock more than what you see on the shelf. If you like candy and you like nostalgia, you will love Candy Addict. Grab a plastic sand castle pail on the way in a fill it up to your hearts desire. My favorite finds in there are a toss up between the KISS plush toys and the caramel covered marshmallows that they keep on the front counter in a glass jar. Run don't walk. read more

**** I recently visited Candy Addicts in Tempe, and it was an absolute dream come true for any sweet tooth! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by an incredible array of colorful candies, nostalgic treats, and unique confections that took me back to my childhood. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to recommend something new to try. I loved their selection of gourmet chocolates and quirky snacks that you can't find anywhere else. The ambiance was fun and vibrant, making it a perfect spot to indulge in sweets or even grab a gift for a fellow candy lover. I also appreciated their commitment to quality; everything I tried was fresh and delicious. Whether you're a fan of classic candies or looking for something more adventurous, Candy Addicts has it all. I left with a bag full of goodies and a huge smile on my face. If you're in the Tempe area, do yourself a favor and check out Candy Addicts--it's a sugary paradise that you won't want to miss! read more

Wow the place who worked Sunday July 10th at 5:00 was a complete fucking asshole and will never get my business again. A) my kid bought a toy instead of candy and this jerk running the shop says "wow you get 5.00 and waste it on this?" B) my 6 yrs old...YES HE IS 6 put his hand out to get change back and the dumbass again takes a shot and says "you shouldn't do that to someone giving you money it's rude", then proceeds to roll his eyes. He was not joking. He was a complete fucking prick. I will never shop there and I hope this place closes and they loses everything to their name. DO NOT SHOP HERE. There are better places to take your kids and get candy. Oh yea and upon arriving there was a sign saying he was busy and be back later. Probably drinking or smoking read more

I like the Candy Addict. It has the best selection of bulk candy anywhere around - and good stuff, not silly childish stuff like the Fuzzgigz or whatever in the malls. They have a great selection of older candies as well. It's a nice treat after lunch there to get a little bag (have to make sure I don't go overboard) for snacking on. The staff is always friendly and the facility is laid out pretty we-- and is easy to browse. read more

Just came from Candy Addict and who ever is bitching about the saltwater taffy and orange peanut things must be high as a kite... Their selection of salt water taffy is around 45 flavors. "maple bacon" salt water taffy was amazing ! All very fresh. I checked out "It's Sugar", some new corperate chain and their prices are through the roof... almost double what Candy Addict charges. read more

Awesome little store, some people came in and asked for recommendations of candy and the lady inside helped them out and was very kind! Candy is great, not old or bad very good, pricing was good and the vibe of the whole shop was spot on. read more
