I used to love coming to the store, but it has changed recently…read more I was excited to come to the store to grab some candy, but upon walking in the store, I noticed all of the candy was already separated into little baggies You aren't able to pick and choose the different varieties, which makes it pretty pricey for this choice of candy 2.99 and up for a majority of candies minus the already prepackaged candy's like Starburst I still ended up getting some candy, $20 for a few varieties of candy is a little steep though

Candy Works is a specialty candy and confectionary shop that opened in Clinton, Connecticut in June…read more2020. It was founded by sisters Michele Riccio and Christine Gazzillo, with assistance from their parents Clement & Marie Gazzillo. The two sisters come from a family with experience in the restaurant business; their father Clement is a longtime restaurateur and a current partner at Petrillo's Pizza Pub & Grill in Madison. Michele works as a paraprofessional for the public school system while Christine is a registered dental hygienist. When a candy store that had previously been a location of the Fuzziwig's Candy Factory chain went up for sale, the sisters' father encouraged them to purchase it and go into business together. Clem had always dreamed of having a business where the whole family would be involved. Located in the lower level of Clinton Premium Outlets (aka Clinton Crossing), Candy Works specializes in carrying a wide selection of candy bars, nostalgic candies, old-fashioned glass-bottled sodas, freshly baked goods, and even novelty gifts. Even the sisters' mother Marie helps out with making the freshly baked goods. I recently stopped at Candy Works with my two young sons. I had previously visited many years ago when it was still Fuzziwig's Candy Factory. The set-up of the store is essentially the same, but the Gazzillo family put their own spin on things. The interior was loaded with every conceivable candy variety that you could think of: chocolate bars, jelly beans, gummies, hard candies, gum, fudge, lollipops, taffy, etc. Many of the candies were ones that I haven't seen, or even thought about, in many years. They also had quite a few novelty and gag gifts. I told my two sons that they could pick out any candy that they wanted. You want to know what they both picked out? Ice cream.... doughwiches to be exact. Oh brother; they crack me up. I however decided to pick out a nice mix of candy bars for myself, including "Zagnut", "Oh Henry!", "Abba-Zaba", "Chunky", and a "Cannoli Bar". These will all come in handy on future trips to the movie theater. Whether you're looking for your favorite candy bar, hard candies to make "goodie bags", a funny gag gift, or a nostalgic candy that you haven't seen since your childhood, then you need to make a trip to Candy Works!

As you may know, from my previous reviews, I have discovered the benifits of organic gardening and…read moreturf care. I have had much better results, organically, as opposed to dumping chemical fertilizers on everything. There is something to be said about adding beneficial strains of bacteria and fungi to your soil. Plants seem to respond so much better. I'm always on the lookout for new products. From soil ammendments, plant starters, fertilizers and products to improve the compost tea I brew. I found a real gem here! Firstly, Joe, the proprietor, is about the nicest guy you could meet and do business with. He has a passion for organic gardening, agricultural, and turf methods. The first time I stopped in, I ended up staying for about an hour, because he has so much great information and loves to share the results of the products he stocks. And, he answers email awful quick, if I have a question. Great guy! The products sold are all organic. I picked up about 40 pounds of earthworm castings, some crushed crab shell, a new plant starter called Vitazyme (works better than Superthrive IMO), some hydrolyzed fish and seaweed fertilizer, and Joe threw in a sample of a new product (to me anyway) called Quantum Growth. It's a probiotic, teaming with microbes, that I believe can also be used in Hydroponic setups. I just scratched the surface of the products they carry. You can view all of them on the website. I plan to try several other items they carry this summer to test the effectiveness. In all, I highly recommend this place if you are into organic gardening methods, just want to learn more or on the fence about going organic. Joe is an absolute wealth of information, and he's happy to pass it along, if you're interested in or learning about the benefits of organic gardening and turf care. So glad I found this place! It will be a regular stop this summer and fall for sure!

When I eat at High Tide I only order the lobster roll and clam chowder. And sometimes a soda. I…read morehave ordered , from the truck, multiple times and sometimes bring my son. He has had the pulled pork sandwich. It is a food truck. The price is that of a local restaurant. You can get a lobster roll over in Clinton for the same price but get a water view and sit beneath an awning in a white plastic chair. There is never a line and most times the generator is going off. When High Tide is at the historic Academy Street School folks sit on picnic tables. I sit in my car. The chowder is very good but it's availability is inconsistent-he had it-he does not have it. Yes you get chips with the lobster. (Another reviewer brought that up.). For $14.99. I think you should get chips or slaw. Sometimes there is slaw-buy not all the time and I think that portion should be larger. I'm not a fan of sitting solo in my car eating after using my credit card. I enjoy eating with people. I guess I'm not a food truck sort of person. The whole controversy about their existence in downtown Madison is a turnoff. I cannot imagine making money in that location. There is no volume. They do air of crying and the controversy spears to be Madison's biggest issue. High Tide takes credit cards.

But it certainly didn't last the trip home. If we are ever in Connecticut again, will be sure to look out for this truck.

With the coronavirus, I was worried that they wouldn't have the same service. Um, nope. Julia actually responded to me at 9:00 p.m. ET--omg. Who does that? Truly outstanding customer service.
