    The Carmelcorn Shop is an old-fashioned confectionery shop that opened in Easton, Pennsylvania in…read more1931. It was founded by husband and wife John & Ruth Doherty. In addition to their signature housemade carmelcorn, the shop also specializes in popcorn, fresh roasted nuts, fudge, chocolates, gummies and old-fashioned hard candies. Richard Baskin purchased the shop from the Dohertys in 1985. He in turn sold the shop to husband and wife Tony and Sia Bassil in 1996 and they have owned it ever since. Sia had originally been hired to work behind the counter for the Dohertys in 1977, when she was just 14. She continued to work at the shop, on and off, for several years until she bought it with her husband. My family and I visited The Carmelcorn Shop this past summer while we were visiting relatives in the area. We were exploring Downtown Easton and noticed the storefront. It looked like a really cool place and we were shocked when we saw the sign that read "Since 1931". The shop is pretty small, but it has all sorts of novelty candies. The carmelcorn smelled great! We ended up getting some as well as some old-fashioned candies for our two boys. It's nice to know that there are still old-fashioned candy shops like this still in existence. If you're visiting Downtown Easton, then we recommend that you take a stop at the Carmelcorn Shop for a trip down memory lane.

    My mother worked here as a teenager in the 1940's. She used to love to tell the story of how Mr…read more Doherty "stole" her from the candy counter at Laubach's Department Store for an extra nickel an hour. She was there until the late 50's, had her five kids, and returned through the 70's and 80's. I always remember my Mom smelling like roasted nuts and carmelcorn when she came home from work. I always make sure I stop in when I return to Easton to reminisce with Sia and of course pick up some Almond Butter Crunch.

    Great ice cream, wide selection, and wonderful cakes and pastries. The quality of the products is…read moreconsistently excellent. The only downside is the service can be hit or miss. For example, I spent about $10 on a couple scoops of ice cream and didn't receive a greeting, a smile, or even a "thank you." The young man serving me wore gloves and had beautifully painted fingernails, but the experience felt unwelcoming. He also seemed bored and disengaged, as if he would rather have been somewhere else. Perhaps that was true. I also want to note that saying "have a good day" is not a substitute for saying "thank you." Customers should feel appreciated for their business, not just processed through a transaction. I don't blame the individual employee as much as management. A simple hello when customers walk in and a genuine thank you after payment would go a long way toward enhancing the overall experience. With just a little attention to customer service, this place could be outstanding.

    The cutest candy shop! They really have everything. Loose candy that you can buy by the pound and…read morepackaged candies. We were here right before Halloween. They have cute candies for Halloween. I got the grand kids boxes of candy that had Halloween decorations on them. They have chocolate covered apples and ice cream. They have a whole room full of baked goods with cookies and pies. They looked amazing. Service was great. If you're in the area, check it out.
