So basically, this part of Main Street is candy central. Maybe these guys decided to team up, and figured that a rising tide lifts all boats. The Candy Emporium seems to have more commercial and old-fashioned candies than the other place. They also seem to get nasty with the licorice here, and in particular, black licorice. OK! I won't let you know my opinion about black licorice, those murdered-out pieces of vile rubber, because I don't want to yuck your yum. But if you are a black licorice fan, this is your place. They have bulk chocolates by the pound here (minimum 1/8 pound), plus lots of packaged candies -- everything from Starbursts to Laffy Taffy to Razzles and Necco Wafers. The price points range from 10 cents to much higher, so you can bring a kid here with some pocket change, and they'll be able to get a little treat.

Candy Dish came highly recommended by a friend, and so, when I was in Nashville, I made a point to visit! My thing is chocolate, so I headed straight for the display case of chocolates. Candy Dish has chocolates galore: old-fashioned chocolates like mint meltaways and haystacks, peanut butter cups (giant ones the size of an adult hand and regular-sized ones), Buckeyes, bonbons, chocolate-covered caramels, chocolate-covered pretzels, chocolate-covered almonds ... you get the idea. Lots of chocolate! I had a hard time choosing what to get, but I ended up getting a milk chocolate salted caramel and a turtle, which is a chocolate-covered caramel with pecans in it. The taffy section of Candy Dish is off the candy chain. If I had my children with me, they would have headed straight for the taffy bins, because they love that sticky-sweet confection. This candy store also has bulk old-fashioned candies that your grandmother used to have at the bottom of her purse, like butterscotch disks and peppermints, as well as the kinds of candies that parents dread because they're a choking hazard: Lemonheads, Atomic FireBalls, jawbreakers and root beer barrels. Nashville is a sea of cute shops, and Candy Dish is definitely one you'll want to visit.

I have been to Brown County and Nashville many times and walked around these shops, but I've never actually tasted the goods. Well, it was time to change that on my most recent trip! The Candy Dish carries a wide assortment of chocolates, fudge and, well, candy! I wanted to try a few different options, and the attendant behind the counter was very helpful. I came away with a little something for everyone: chocolate fudge, caramel turtles and a giant chocolate-dipped marshmallow for my youngest. I also picked up a yummy little square of dark chocolate sea salt caramel to share with a friend. The Candy Dish is a cute little spot in the heart of Nashville. I highly recommend stopping in on your next visit. Personally, I can't wait to get back down to Nashville soon!

The only reason for four stars instead of five is the space inside can feel a bit tight when it's crowded. But honestly, that's part of the charm too--it's a busy little place for a reason.

The "butters" are fruits (apple or peach) that have been pureed before going through their processing. Since they don't have any artificial sugars or pectin, the "butters" may be a little less set than some store bought brands. The "spreads" are jams that are also made with real fruit and come in a wide variety of flavors. (Note: on weekends, you can usually try free samples of the flavors.) The store also has a collection of unique kitchen accessories for sale. But make a point of coming here for the preserves. The flavors are great! Review #850

Shortly after I stepped into The Wild Olive, one of the people who worked at the shop came out from…read morethe back and asked me, apropos of nothing, "Do you like salad?!" I said yes. He said, "I have something for you to try! Do you want to try it?! I've been perfecting it!" How can I say no to something so deliciously mysterious. So I said yes again. He darted to the back to get his enigmatic edible concoction. I'm learning that, in general, in life, saying yes to new things is usually the correct answer. The man came back out carrying a tiny Dixie cup with a sample of raspberry balsamic vinegar and Meyer lemon olive oil. "Swirl it around and drink it down like a shot!" The man said. "It tastes like the most delicious salad you've ever tasted!" And wouldn't you know: the man was right! It turns out, homeboy used to work in a restaurant, and he loves to cook, too. As I was tasting the vinegary oil, homie told me about the origins of the vinegar and oil I was tasting, what proportions to use to make a vinaigrette, and how else I could use them (balsamic vinegar in a cocktail!). I ended up buying a bottle each of the raspberry balsamic vinegar and Meyer lemon olive oil, and both have been probably my best purchases of 2025. All this to say: The customer service at The Wild Olive is exemplary. The people -- or more particular, this dude I encountered -- love food and have lots of recommendations for how to use the oils and vinegars in food and while cooking and baking. You can also ask to taste any of the oils or vinegars in the shop. As many as you want! When you find one that you like, there are two different sized bottles to choose from: 250 ml and 500 ml. The variety of oil and vinegar at The Wild Olive is amazing, so you'll probably want to taste some before you commit. There is also a section with gourmet goods, like pasta, tapenade, flavored salts, tinned fish and nuts. Plus, a refrigerated section with salami and cold San Pellegrino. When I run out of my olive oil and vinegar, I will be making a trip back to Nashville to hit up The Wild Olive again. This is now one of my favorite shops in central Indiana.

All of these attributes really help accentuate the main attractions - the counters of balsamic vinegar and olive oils. My MIL was after a particular flavor. The two women working were extremely friendly and in the process of redecorating the store for springtime. They informed us that we could sample whatever we wanted. Yay! I've been to olive oil shops like this in other touristy areas and they've had the bread available to the customer next to the dispensers for self-service. This was pre-covid, so I'm sure bread wasn't readily available during this visit to cut down on contamination. I get that, but it personally deterred me from sampling. I didn't want to bother the shop owners every time I wanted something - which would have been a lot. :) I think the prices were around $16-$20 per bottle depending on the size. So, so many flavors from salty to savory to sweet. Unique flavors. So unique that you should definitely try them before you buy. Highly recommend!

Located on the north end of town, it has a small street presence and seems even smaller inside. When you do step in, they have bags of flavored popcorn (double dipped) and popcorn puffs (no hard kernels or husks) coated with caramel.

The puffs are larger than most popcorn too. Note that the popcorn is also popped and coated in the small area behind the counter. (Talk about efficient!) They may not have as many flavors as some of the other popcorn places I've been to, but they do have a menu of other items you can get including beverages and hot dogs. Review #1629
