This place is a little kids dream. And it's a dream for adults too. It's definitely a dream for me. If you're in the area you have to check this place out. Highly recommended. read more

I'm so bummed! I went here for a gift for a boy who LOVES candy. I found an adorable jelly belly dispenser for $25. I thought that was kind of high for an empty candy dispenser so I went to Walmart on the way home to get a big jar of jelly beans. When I'm wrapping this gift I see that it was supposed to include a bag of jelly beans. This is so disappointing that they would remove this. None of the other dispensers had any bags of candy with them. I didn't get a receipt other wise I would go back and ask to return it. Never going back! Rip off! read more

Candy Addict - Candy Stores Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Sweet! Nice shop and staff. They have candy for kids with animals, Hello Kitty, and superheroes. They have chocolate from the UK and even Turkey. 80s candy? They have some. But wait, there's more: For a limited time, buy $10 in candy and you get some free salt water taffy! Seriously, this is a fun little shop to get a fix for those of us with a sweet tooth. read more

My favorite candy store in the East Valley for sure. If you have a sweet tooth this is your heaven.. I have to say every time I come in here my eyes almost jump out of my head. It's just incredible how much sugar is in this place. They have every kind of candy you can imagine. The people who work here are awesome and friendly and I always leave with a smile on my face. read more

The Candy Addict is great for kids and the kid in you! Nerds, chocolates, Chick-O-Stick, candy buttons, Beanboozle, you name it, they have the candy! The Candy Addict also carries several collector items from Star Wars, Hello Kitty, and other movies and sitcoms. There are lunchboxes, posters, drinks, small stuffed animals, PEZ dispensers, and so much more! You'll have so many blasts from the past and the kids have a great time seeing rolling hills of candy. The customer service was great and the gal was super helpful! The atmosphere is like a old school record shop and you can mosey around just enjoying all they have, tough decisions to be made! They offered a Yelp special for free taffy which was very good and a decent amount for one person. If you want to satisfy your taste buds with some nostalgia, then The Candy Addict is a must go to! read more

I'm a fan of any place that has Rocky Road and U-No bars! The prices seem reasonable, and the staff is really friendly and helpful. What's it lacking? Heck, I dunno. I was looking for dark chocolate with Macademias- I would have freaked if they carried the Hawaiian Host Dark Chocolate and Macs (far better than the better known Mauna Loa brand), but alas, no. I'd have settled for Dark Chocolate with Hazelnuts. Didn't see them, but they have a LOT of "Euro Chocolate"- they may have it. If the guy had a taffy pulling machine in the window, it would be a big crowd pleaser, but I think it'd take up too much room. I bet the permitting would be tough too. Better to use the space for.... candy! Come on in, find a favorite, throw down your coin, unwrap, and smile. read more

After reading the wonderful reviews I took my 9 year old daughter who is a candy Addict, but I was quickly and highly disappointed. First, it's all candy I can pretty much find anywhere else, but double the price. I was initially thrilled at the wide variety of salt water taffy until I searched for some that wasn't stale. All of it was hard as a rock. I even commented to the staff. It wasn't her fault of course and she was very pleasant to talk to by the way. I ended up letting my daughter buy a few items, but we walked out with no taffy and I know I would have easily spent at least $20-30 on that alone. read more

Great assortment of candy, but prices are Crazy...double and triple what you would pay elsewhere.... never again read more

I love candy addict. Love their candy selection and the fact that they deliver. 3 stars simply because o ordered sour A&W soda gummies they ran out and instead of refunding me they just double ordered another item (that was not sour). I love this place was just disappointed I didn't get my sour fix! read more

Great selection, great displays, friendly staff and, well, CANDY! I won a couple gift cards from here, and brought in my mom and her husband after we had lunch at Monti's. I thought the visit would be primarily for him - as he loves candy. And I was prepared to use part of my gift card funds to buy him a candy or two. Then mom found the sugar free wall. And went nuts. All of my gift money, plus some of her husband's cash to cover her haul. Granted, I have just had a couple pieces of the salt water taffy - and appreciated the variety of bacon candy they have. Because, you know, everything is better with bacon. Overall, I am not a huge candy fan. But this store does it right, and when I'm in the area and in the mood, you can bet I'll be here! read more

So, after grabbing Chuck Box for lunch with my Suitemate one day, we decided to proceed to Candy Addict to find out about this new Candy spot we heard about through Yelp. It was a great experience! Here are a couple reasons why... 1. The owner was awesome! Very friendly and had a good laid back joking attitude. Told us whatever we wanted to know about the store and when the change came to like .46 cents or something, he just gave me two quarters. Thank you for not making me store all that useless change! He also offered these little extra candies with our (small) purchase. 2. The selection is great! I'm not sure if I saw cookie dough bites (I'd have to check in again), but they have bottle caps and nerds at great prices! The store is very neat and clean as well, which is a major plus. 3. The proximity to college! It is definitely a fun run with a few friends in between classes to stock up on the dorm room sweets. Head over there and check it out! read more

One of the highlights of a recent business visit to the Valley, as this terrific candy store is located right in the middle (between 4th & 5th Streets) of the great Mill Avenue downtown district, and offers an amazing collection of candy and chocolate, including some truly unique options. Really enjoyed meeting its owner, Frank, who, along with staff member Haley, made it such a positive and fun experience, taking the time to interact and help us out, also tipping us off to other nearby stops. So many fun options, you won't leave disappointed, and will find items to bring back for your loved ones! Glad we found Candy Addict! read more

Let's get one thing straight: I love candy. I *heart* it. We have a long storied past. A kind of "push me, pull you" sort of relationship. But I was on vacation. And there are no calories on vacation. Everyone knows that, right? My personal favorite thing about the Candy Addict is the bulk section. Not only are there the usual suspects (Smarties, Tootsie Rolls), but you can mix and match the cool stuff, too! Coconut Longboys, Slo Pokes, Chic-O-Sticks, Mini Charleston Chews, Zotz. I like variety and I appreciate that I could get it with the good stuff. CA's also got some international candy (I can get behind Crunchie and Aerobar availability) and a huge selection of taffy. You can bet you bulk candy bags I'll be back here next time I'm in town!! read more

Size matters. The sheer variety of the stock here makes up for some of its vagaries in stocking. In recent months, there's been a shift away from retro candies and toward the kind of candies that look imported and exotic but actually are widely stocked by supermarkets. (Since Smeeks also cut back on retro candies, I'm wondering if the concept is more beloved than the actual-buying-that-helps-pay-the-rent.) So lots of familiar names like Lindt and Vosges now appear. The bins have also scaled back on the retro and even dumped the livelier Brachs offerings, though the saltwater taffy selection remains large. Prices are slightly higher than the same products at Safeway or World Market; but if you're for some reason stuck in downtown Tempe (which you might be, if you're at a conference at ASU) or if you've had too many beers at the many Mill Street bars to remember what Orbit circles a grocery store, Candy Addict is RIGHT THERE and you can stagger in and buy candy that will impress people with its overall coolth. So it's worth popping in to see if there's anything you want. read more

This place is conveniently placed on Mill Ave and has a great selection of candy. I came here looking for ring pops (all the grocery stores that I went to discontinued carrying them). Luckily they carried them in a variety of flavors and they were reasonably priced. The girl working was very SWEET... See what I did there? Parking is limited but there are public structures nearby. read more

The workers there are very helpful and sweet. They have a huge selection of saltwater taffy and sugar free. There bulk selection is awesome. Love the fact that everything is wrapped. Nice Pezz area too. Prices are higher the gas stations but it's a candy store not a gas station so understand able. They are my favorite out of all the candy stores I have been to. And the prices are better too. I recommend checking in if you have foursquare. Best place EVER. read more

Candy Addict - I was so happy when I saw these angry birds candy - Candy Stores Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Interesting little candy shop. I think their selection of salt water taffy is excellent, but the rest of their candy is pretty average. You can find a lot of the chocolates and sweets at various grocery stores if you look closely enough. The store is very cute, and if I'm craving salt water taffy again, I'll definitely stop by. read more

This brought me back to when I was a kid. This place had all the classics like dubble bubble, bit o honey, peanut butter bars, among others. Kids loved it as well of course. It's not only just candy though, there's also memorabilia from older movies and shows such as The Wizard of Oz lunch boxes, etc... we spent a good deal here because we just couldn't stop. We will come back again when we're back in town. read more

This might be my shortest review. This place has Zagnuts and plenty of them and they are only $1.39 each (some places charge $2). If you like zagnuts, which are crunchy peanut butter and toasted coconut you know that these aren't sold in gas stations or normal places. Luck was on my side as I wandered into the addict. Zagnut lovers unite! read more

Cute shop. Huge selection. I got some really cute candy as souvenirs. It's definitely a shop to stop at. They have a lot of weird mints and stuff... It's nice read more

Candy, Candy, Candy every where. They have everything including Bacon gum. Good selection of Taffy. Young Lady behind counter extremely nice. Finger Zombies are always fun. read more

They carry Seattle Chocolate Bars. That gives them an extra star. Great customer service the day I went in. They have a nice selection of candy, but I think because the space is small, they don't have as much as I was expecting. Sweetie's is a much larger location, so if you really want to stock up, I'd recommend them. Otherwise for a stroll down Mill Ave and and want some candy this is good place to check out. read more

What a fantastic candy shop this is! This place has any candy you loved in the past and currently love. I was impressed by how many different things they had and then I saw they even had a lot of the British candies including smarties, toffee crunch, yorkies, buttons and dairy milk! I also love mambas and usually buy a pack and only eat 2 of the 3 colors and here you can get individual pieces of your favorite colors! They have a lot of taffy, licorice, flavored tootsie rolls, those big lollipops you get at Disneyland and so much more I can't even remember. I don't care for chocolate so I can't say what I noticed on those lines. The gal working tonight was also very nice also. I do love sweet factory and sour candies and would have liked to have seen more pick n mix type of things that included that, all of their pick n mix stuff seemed to be in individual wrappers. read more

I came across this store by accident, was just out for a walk down Mill Ave, it was open even though it was late so I wandered in. What a cool store!!! Just about every candy you can imagine in here! It definitely took me back to my childhood, plus they have all of the classics and some things you've never seen before. They even had original Johnny Apple Treats and Alexander the Grape! Needless to say I bought way too much candy tonight but totally worth it!!! The girl working tonight was also excellent, very nice and helpful. I highly recommend checking out this store if you're in the area. Your sweet tooth will thank you. read more

Candy heaven. This is the best way to describe Candy Addict. Situated right off the busy streets of Mill Ave, this candy shop is perfectly placed because it's embedded right in the middle of all the action. The candy gets a little pricey but they have a nice selection and unique brands. It's definitely worth every sugar filled penny! read more

I have a huge sweet tooth. This place is like heaven for me. They always have coupons and if you get a stamp card you get a free 1/4 pound after you buy five. They have all the candies you used to love as a kid. They also have chocolate, PEZ, salt water taffy, and pretty much any other candy you could think of. This place is a guilty pleasure of mine, and I will continue going back when I'm strolling Mill Avenue. read more

They have a large selection of candy and the staff is so nice. I stop in often when I am on Mill Ave. I love that they have so many types of skittles. There is a cute Hello Kitty section also! read more

i wish they had more lollipops and a sugar free section but they are limited in space! their large gummy worms are hilarious! read more

Terrific store. Always perfect service and all the candy addiction throughout my childhood. A must visit, for any age.

I actually love this little store. The first time I stopped in here the young woman behind the counter literally could not have been more kind. I had a young child with me and while I filled out the form for the raffle the store was having, she didn't just stand there. She engaged the girl I was with. Asked her questions, complimented her, etc. It was really refreshing to encounter customer service like that. She seemed genuinely friendly and happy to be at work. That's rare! This place is a little expensive. I came here to get a little gift for my boyfriend today (I can't share what it is - what if he reads this review?!?) and probably spent more than I should've on for what it was. BUT I absolutely love that this is a family owned business and not a chain. That's the main thing that will keep me coming back when I'm on Mill Ave every so often. read more

It's like your own little Wonka factory on Mill Ave! Ok, so not quite as grand, but it's still a fun little shop with super friendly employees! Candy Addict has lots of your favorites and most likely a few you've never tried, plus a bulk candy section and it's all at fair prices for the specialty store that it is. Support your local shop! read more

Wonderful! Had every kind of candy I wanted (which was a lot, mind you) except Sixlets, but apparently they had sold out and will be getting more. Anyway, I'd highly recommend this store read more

Do you remember all the cant through out history? Well, they do! This is definitely the place to shop if your a "Candy Addict". And even if they don't carry some off the wall you're looking for they can special order. Can't get much cooler than that. If you have a sweet tooth, this place is recommended. Conveniently located a block and a half south of the 3rd St & Mill Ave Metro stop. Easy to make a candy run while on the way to of from down town. read more

Very clean well stocked CANDY STORE! I can't wait to stop by again! This is awesome! If you're in downtown Tempe, check it out! If you're NOT, get in the car and go now, what are you waiting for??? read more

Traveling here with my family and came into this with a happy excited attitude only to be stared down by an unfriendly employee working the counter.. By the time we came to check out she was completely disrespectful and after bagging the candy she threw the bag down on the counter.. Bad service, Candy was good though read more

Such a cool store! Great customer service!

The selection here is comparable to any other average candy store out there. The prices are obscenely high and the selection isn't great. However, the customer service here is awesome. They aren't afraid to throw recommendations your way and you can tell they really enjoy working there. Because of this, I find myself going in here more often than to their competitors' shops. Though I'd rather purchase my candy elsewhere, Candy Addict is an A-OK shop to frequent when my sweet tooth is aching. read more
