We love their individually wrapped caramels, chocolate caramels, and pecan turtles. There is an older lady who seems quite arrogant, she denied me a sample - which I thought odd given I was buying Christmas treats for my family. As this was not off putting (initially), when I asked her how many workers made all the candy offering and trivia about Goumas (she responded as if I were a spy from a local candy shop trying to get intel). Pretty sure she said, "my husband does all of the caramels of course." So guessing she may be an owner. Great candy, could have been a one off experience. At $30 per pound, a sample and a few interesting facts about the Newark landmark Candy shop would have been a small and appreciated show of appreciation (in and of itself). Yoder Market has a variety of delicious Candies at much more reasonable prices and they, Thank me for my business (every time).

I would return.

I am originally from Newark Ohio and fondly remember Goumas candy as some of the best candy around…read more I left Ohio in 2010 and recently moved back. Sadly, while out of state Goumas fell off my radar but I'm here today to remind everyone how wonderful Goumas candy is and encourage you to visit one of their locations. They have three locations: Heath, Ohio, Granville, Ohio, and Newark, Ohio. We stopped in while waiting for the Licking County Courthouse Christmas lighting and for a brief time we were the only ones in the store located on the North side of the square in downtown Newark, Ohio. The cases were full of delightful candies and the two ladies behind the counter were cheerful and fun. They greeted us right away and my family chose several delectable candies ranging from chocolate covered Oreos and potato chips, to English Toffee, to Coconut Haystacks, to a wide range of truffles (my personal favorite). I escaped with a bag full of goodies to sample as we walked around the square as well as a box of assorted truffles. I highly recommend a visit to one of their three locations and don't forget to pick up your buckeyes!

I tried the Merry Mint popcorn - a mint extract sugar coating with chocolate drizzled about. It wasn't too bad. Of course, I wasn't present when she stopped at the brick and mortar shop to ask questions as to what they use to flavor the different popped corn, so I'm not sure if it's all natural, liquid flavorings, a heap load of sugar, or what. And, the mint was not the traditional caramel kind, so my experience remains limited. If in the neighborhood, and in need of a small gift for family or friends, seems the flavored popcorns would be a good idea...

Many, if not all, of the flavors were available to sample. My son sampled and enjoyed several of the more exotic flavors, while I stuck with the sweeter varieties. Unfortunately, I didn't care for any of the popcorn that I tried. I'm not really sure why. I love caramel corn, but the flavors just didn't seem bold enough to me. Perhaps it didn't impress me because I'll be forever comparing popcorn to the gold standard - Garrett's Popcorn in Chicago. And let's face it, if you've ever had Garrett's, you'll agree that there is just no comparison. Still, I rated this place four stars because the staff was great, the shop was cute, and while the popcorn was indeed good, it just didn't blow me away.
