That said, it's a lovely beach town candy shop and their fudge isn't as in-your-face sweet as others. The staff is sweet (all pun intended). The place is small and if you happen not to have children, you probably don't wanna go in when it's mobbed with little children giddy with excitement to get their candy. It truly brings out the kid in all of us. Tons of sugar to choose from! (i'm just a stickler when it comes to the taste and texture of chocolate, but may this review not reflect on the offer offering and the lovely staff!)

Super friendly staff that is extremely helpful when choosing fudge or chocolates!…read more They let you try the fudge before you buy it, and the smallest size you can purchase is 1/4 pound. One pound is $18. They have all kinds of flavors like oreo, white chocolate oreo, turtle, peanut butter, chocolate mint, cappuccino, etc. They have a line of dark chocolate options called Fantasy - they have mint, raspberry and sea salt. You can pick the chocolates and make your own bag, or you can purchase bags they have pre-made. This is everything from turtles, chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate covered crasins, espresso beans, etc.

They demeaned and accused my son of crushing candies, when he picked up a baggie of Lego candies, and was checking if the pieces align. The older blonde woman that works there, yelled at him not to crush the candy, he replied that he was not crushing anything, just looking at the pieces. To which the woman yelled out that he was lying and she saw him. My older teen and her boyfriend, who were in charge of babysitting, came back to tell me of the incident. As I went to the store to figure out what happened, as the girls at the front were lazily sitting there without acknowledging any customers, I told them that they had accused my 9 year old son (who btw is probably one of the calmest kids I know, who just happens to love Legos and science, hence the curiosity for the Lego candy) of crushing candy. They denied knowledge of the incident and called the older woman to the front, who just started being rude, confrontational, snd paranoid as of what we were doing with our phones. Since I took some pictures prior, as I travel around the world and have a social media platform that posts about travel. She yelled for us to leave if we didn't like it, and then to just leave the store when I told her she was rude. How can an unhinged person like that run a candy store who mainly caters to children, yet seems to hate them??? As we were leaving, she just went out the store and was still yelling something, paranoid we recorded her. P.S.: This is not only a Candy Store, it's an OVERPRICED, STALE Candy, Cash only, RUDE, and unhinged Candy extravaganza store. Chatham could do so much better than this junk.

Would have given 5 starts to this wonderful place, but what I saw next door store, called "All Points Beautiful" made me sick. Will not be spending a penny in town again until this reprehensible store moves or closes down. During the long holiday I stopped into town and dropped into my favorite areas to look at clothes and get a new pair of shoes. I was walking through this store and waiting for someone to assist me with another size for a pair of shorts, size 6... OK 8... but could not get anyone's attention. There was a woman in the store whose child was mistakenly accused of stealing from the woman who I know to be Ashley, the owner of the store. I know Ashley has a less than perfect reputation in town but wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt and find out more. I would say the woman was barely keeping it together given the fact her daughter was just illegally searched by the younger woman Nicole who I know in passing. I can't say as I blame the woman, had my son been illegally searched by a clothing salesperson I would too be quite distressed. I was Ok with everything till when the woman left the store, Nicole and Ashley both did the most childish thing, they essentially laughed the woman out and all but blew her kisses. I was dumbfounded by the adolescence of the whole thing. As soon as the woman left I pretended like I did not see anything and waited again to be helped, but instead of helping me, the two huddled around a phone and called the police on the woman whose daughter they just accused of stealing and criminally searched her bag! I was beside myself, so I left and called my boyfriend who is best friends with Chatham Police Officer. I later found out that the process these two go through when they illegally search someone is to contact the police and file a report and blame the person they just victimized so that they look like they are the victim instead of the other way around. It turns out that this is a well rehearsed and orchestrated ploy they go through every time. I actually laughed out loud when I heard what they did, these two women told the Chatham Police that the woman "accosted" them because she wanted Nicole to be fired for her illegal actions. Then the younger girl Nicole who has been known to throw her father's Powerful Wellesley Law firm name around, had the nerve to mock the poor woman as she left the store. There is little I can say good about these two store-people other than the floors seemed to be clean. I have a summer place in the next town over and will be advising everyone to avoid this store given the unusual paranoia and principles I witnessed. That was a crazy ride, not going on that again. Try not to get caught up in the crazy out there people, there is a lot going around. read more

Ducks in the window truly has a great selection of toys and candy but the worst customer service. I don't expect you to roll out the red carpet when I walk into a children's toy store, but I do expect a minimum standard of decency. We brought our child in, selected a few toys, then went to check out at the counter. The woman behind the counter did not acknowledge our presence while she took a personal phone call and literally coughed and expelled phlegm into her hand while on the phone. The phone call ended and the first words to us were "$12.73". I obviously don't suggest visiting and buy your toys elsewhere. read more

A fun store in downtown Chatham! Ducks in the Window is my go-to for kids' gifts. I love their customizable ducks (reasonable, and you can get any name printed on the sailor hat/bonnet in under 5 minutes). All of our nieces and nephews adore their personalized toys. Colette, the new store owner, couldn't be nicer and her passion for the business is tangible! Highly recommend if you're looking to pick up a toy unique to your Chatham visit. read more

It's AWESOME. I have been coming to this place since I was 10 years old, begging my parents to stop so we could get a totally useless souvenir. I can't tell you how many shells, shiny rocks, shell necklaces etc I have purchased here over the years. This trip was no different. It would not have been complete without a stop at the Gift Barn. What was a surprise was how outrageously priced everything is now. I guess since the majority of the items is "made in China", they get hit with the tariffs and so of course we the customer has to pay for them. It's sad as these used to be super affordable items you could spend as little as $20 and walk away with a bag full of memories. Still, it's a must stop for those who adore dust collectors, cheap jewelry, shells, shell necklaces etc. You will NOT be disappointed. Oh, and if you are here in season, the mini golf is loads of fun!
