AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I'd STRONGLY recommend, any of the other various options available within 50 mile radius. I wholeheartedly regret giving this particular business patronage. Not only were their products overpriced but the customer service was outright non-existent. Service: unenthusiastic and borderline crude. The operators seemed more interested in reviewing their Instagram and chatting amongst each purposeuflly placing their backs towards others and ignoring (blatant disrespect in their culture) rather than assisting much less acknowledging customers. When finally receiving the time of day by the operators distain is the only word to describe the overall interaction. Selection: much like the desert- the stock had run dry! However their doors remained open despite not offering a fraction of the menu. Each item requested on their menu was either unavailable or outright a borderlined rude "no" uttered in the best english staff was able to be mustered up. Not even the essentials were on hand to include napkins, toppings, and even lids for the drinks and shakes. A outright discrace. And not at all to my suprise they neglected to disclose this until after money had exchanged. Outright disappointment. Waste of time and money. read more

The ambience of this place was so much fun. It made me feel like a little kid again, with all the Candy and the chocolates, and the fudge. The ladies behind the counter were super helpful and great at dealing with my indecisiveness. I ended up getting a sample of every fudge. Nobody needs to eat that much fudge, but it was amazing. The grasshopper fudge was my favorite. read more

We spent $60 on chocolates and licorice here and it was all terrible. Major letdown. Would definitely not recommend.

2 Lemonades in red solo cups for 13 dollars for it too taste like dog piss is absolutely not worth your money, the owner was just extremely rude and the girl behind the counter was just as nasty. Had high hopes from the outside but don't waste your time and money going there. read more

I was just about to finish my exploration of Tlaquepaque when I stumbled upon How Sweet It Is. Being a fan of ice cream, I thought this would be a great opportunity to try somewhere new and have a little treat, so I decided to check it out. HSII isn't a large space - you're almost immediately greeted by the front counter upon entry. The walls are lined with a decent selection of confections with more available to order. I wanted ice cream, and after looking at available flavors I went with strawberry fields in a waffle cone. It was fine - I didn't find the ice cream to be too special but they gave a lot. Did I think it was worth the almost $6 they charged? No. I also picked up a bag of nonpareils which were just average. Service was fine - they weren't overly friendly but also weren't rude like other reviews mentioned. Overall, I think this place takes advantage of its surroundings by delivering average goods at high prices. If you're caught up in the Sedona moment then you might be wooed, but How Sweet It Is is definitely not worth it. read more

Cute little shop with yummy looking treats, counter employee was not rude but not welcoming either. My partner had a shake I had a fruit smoothie (they were out of ingredients in my first two choices) no biggie. I ended up with passion fruit with banana. It was good, size wise I know it was made with care but $16 dollars for two average sized beverage treats........not sure I'd repeat the experience maybe stick to chocolate. read more

I've been multiple times. I think all it is great location, to be honest. The goodies were nothing special AND overpriced. But when you've been walking around under the sun and are craving for a treat, seeing this place open, you just might not be able to resist. Hahaha. I'm a sucker for that so I'll probably be back. read more

Cute ice cream shop in Tlaqpaque arts village in Sedona.. stopped by here a hot saturday afternoon and it was busy! I ordered the blueberry mixed berry ice cream and loved it but my friend ordered a chocolate chip ice cream and that was okay.. there is no space for indoor seating so feel free to grab your ice cream walk out and sit by the fountains.. A couple of other friends picked up other chocolate flavors and they were okay as well.. hit and miss I guess! Try it out! read more

How sweet it is is a-ok. It's packed with a variety of candies and throwbacks to childhood sweets but it's sorta falls flat. Their homemade fudge lacked in flavor and for just shy of $4 for a piece it's not something I'd return for. If you're looking for unique candy offerings this might not fill the bill for you. read more

Stopped in for ice cream. The clerk was technically nice enough but it seemed forced, as if he could hardly wait to get rid of us. The ice cream itself was adequate in flavor but the price was outrageous for the size of the scoops. My husband and I ordered a single scoop on a basic sugar cone. Each scoop was approximately a 1/4 cup, definitely on the SMALL side. The two cones cost $11.00!! A WHOLE PINT of Hagen Daaz costs less than $6! I know Sedona's revenue is based on tourism but not everyone who visits is made out of money! It would be nice if it didn't feel as if we were being gouged for even the simple pleasures in life. read more

It was a great reprieve from the heat however when we asked for the total we had to ask about three times because we were in shock!! For small 1 smoothie, 1 small shake, 1 ice cream, a lemonade and about 6 truffles and a bottle the total was $70.00!!!!! You read correctly it was SEVENTY DOLLARS!!!!!!! We had paid due to the shock.. lesson learned always ask for the price before you buy! The refreshments were good but certainly nothing special or worth $70.. talk about taking advantage of tourists!!! I do not recommend it at all!! read more

Rude staff, overpriced everything, and the chocolate tastes horrible. They overcharged us as well, A better option is to go to a gas station and get a snickers bar read more

What a jerk the owner is (I assume that's who he was). He was very rude to me, I'm guessing it was because I was wearing a mask. Not sure how their fudge is, I brought it for my mom, but I'm sorry I purchased anything from that rude man. read more

do not buy over priced ice cream here!!! $6 bucks for one scoop, they did not even fill the ice cream cone. what a rip off!!

This might be the most unsatisfying candy store experience I have ever had. Sorry folks!! The Chocolate Covered Graham Cracker tasted like soap, and two different bags of licorice were stale and discolored. The fudge was flavorful enough but also crusty on the exterior. The store smelled like bleach, but still felt a bit grimy. One redeeming bite of fudge but I would never revisit again. read more

Came here after eating at a restaurant nearby with friends. We each got a scoop of ice cream. It was pricey (close to $6 w/ tax), the flavors were limited, the ice cream tasted watery, and the cashier was super unfriendly. I wanted a cup for my ice cream and waffle cone so I wouldn't have to deal with it melting on me and she said that was an extra charge. Whaattt. Not worth! Even the other candy items are overpriced! read more

Small candy shop in this cute plaza. I got a hot chocolate for $4.30 with tax, which is more than usual. Tasted pretty good since it had a spice kinda taste and came with whipped cream. Made out of powder though. They have candy, fudge, and ice cream here but I'm not sure how could or homemade those are. Customer service was fine. They should probably just fix their door. read more

I wish I had a picture to post as this is a cute little storefront in the Tlaquepaque Village in Sedona... very charming! They carry an assortment of sweets including chocolate, fudge, licorice from all over the world, marshmallow, jelly beans, lollipops, every kind of gummy you can imagine, and more! This is the perfect little store to check out if you're craving something sweet! read more

Terrible attitude, mediocre ice cream. Way over priced. Ask for a napkins (actually had to ask 3 times) and then was given an attitude when the found just one. read more

This is a very cute but tiny candy store. But after walking around the Tlaquepaque Village my family and I stop in for some sweeeet snacking. We couldn't resist but ended up getting some Cookies and Creme Ice Cream. Nothing special about it. But the Coconut and Pineapple Ice Cream was so good. I'm not a fan of coconut flavor ice cream but I have to admit it blended in perfectly with the pineapple. I can't imagine this place to be so popular. So I think there candy bags sit on the shelves for awhile. Sometimes the way I check the freshness of candy and if it is worth buying is pinching the candy to see how soft it is. Needless to say, their licorice and sweet/sour strips were quite hard =/. There is a good selection of chocolates here though. So I definitely got my ice cream and chocolate fix! read more

This place is a shit show. Don't bother stopping. We were there at 9:55 and he had not opened yet but door is open. The man rudely said "I'm not open yet". I apologized and look at the hrs which said open at 10:00. So we waited. 5 min after we tried again and he says "not open yet, just a few more min". So we sat down in front only for him to continue chatting away with someone else for a good 15 min knowing we were waiting. He could care less. What an ass. 10:15, we left. He's just taking advantage of the high foot traffic. Don't waist your time. read more

Do not waste your money. The people that work here are rude and unfriendly. The prices for what you get are outrageous. We purchased fudge, 2 chocolate dipped smores, and 3 truffles. All of them were stale and didn't taste good. read more

We went strolling through the shopping area and was glad that it was open and most people were wearing masks. We saw this place and after we walked in the man at the counter said what do you want in a rude tone. He then continued to make our ice cream cone WITHOUT GLOVES OR WASHING HIS HANDS. Also, he wasn't wearing a mask even though it is required in the city of Sedona. Not going there again and don't recommend going there! read more

Omg what an adorable little candy,chocolate store!

We ended up buying some fudge,which honestly was some of the best fudge i have ever had!! Kudos! Perfect little place to stop by if you have a sweet tooth! :) read more

I don't care what these other reviewers say, the malts here are Top Notch. The people are friendly and I liked it. Have you ever had a delicious hand dipped malt? Well have one here. You'll seriously go home and regret that your city will never make a malt as good as this place. Do it. Vanilla bean. If I could manifest one of their malts right now I would. Thank you for introducing me to the wonder that is a malt. Don't be a hater. Enjoy a smooth malt. read more

We stopped by to get ourselves some treats and drinks. It's somewhat overpriced. The guy behind the counter wasn't talkative or friendly. He made our drinks, 2 ciders and a couple of milk shakes. We got our drinks, paid over $30 for drinks and chocolates. If we thought about it ahead of time, we would've waited until we left the village to drive to another spot for some snacks. But we were hungry and this was the only place that wasn't a sit down restaurant. read more

The rude people who work there don't wear masks or care about social distancing. Bought an EXTREMELY overpriced "specialty" lemonade which was gross and threw away after two sips. Nearly bought a few dark chocolate covered oranges but at $2 per stick I decided to skip it. read more

going to agree with the other reviews here, service is not very good and we seemed to be bothering the man running the candy store. Also didn't take credit cards and was not very kind about it. Overpriced and grumpy service, don't recommend read more

Super cute place I absolutely loved it here and their Hot chocolate is amazing as well!

This is a small candy store that has local and imported goods. Sadly the workers did not seem to know where most of the candy was from. I tried a few chocolate truffles. I would recommend the cappuccino truffles but not the champagne truffle. The Vosges here is way overpriced and you can grab it cheaper at the Natural harvest grocery store down the street. I also noticed that some of the gummy candies felt hard like they were old. Rhey also offer milkshakes. ice cream, and smoothies. Overall a convenient location but perhaps not the freshest candies! read more

I went the other day visiting from California and I must say the smoothie is very good the mango smoothie at least. Although the only reason I didn't rate it lower was because the cashier was nice ish but timid. Like most reviews it's overpriced when it comes to some items. I bought a toffee for 10 dollars and I was okay with it for a time. Then I tried it and it tasted old and I felt like my money was wasted read more

I stopped by because to me the shop looked friendly. It looked inviting,doors open and a menu outside which was convenient. The prices are a bit high but thats what you have to expect from a tourist plaza. Customer service was lacking, the lady welcomed us in and she just didnt look pleased to be there. The milkshake I got was okay, was almost like water. I wouldn't really go back. read more

Very very over priced with no prices marked. 3 dollars for a tiny piece of fudge advertised as vanilla caramel. Absolutely no caramel-- instead vanilla creme. When questioned about order attendant was dismissive--absolute waste of money. skip this shop. read more

The best chocolate malt I have ever had! I don't think I need to elaborate on that. This little shop is so darn cute, it will make you feel like a kid again. Sugary goodness everywhere you look. It's a great place to get a treat for yourself or to pick up a sweet gift for someone else. Their fudge looked incredible and they carry touristy sweets too, like the scorpion lollipop. Even with all the candy distraction, I still highly recommend an old fashioned chocolate malt. read more

Extremely poor customer service, almost over the top. Being a tourist destination town and a shop that sells candy & ice cream (female cashier seemed annoyed with families, kids or just people in general), you would expect a super friendly atmosphere. The lady cashier working here clearly hates her job and I'd hope for the owner's sake that they they adjust their staff or this cashier comes to a realization that this isn't the job for her. The ice cream was standard, I rarely ever leave a negative review, however the rudeness was so blatant it requires it. read more

Our visit to Sedona would not have been the same without a trip to this location preparing us for our day with a coffee and Hubby's strawberry lemonade. This was our first time here and I was nervous to order iced coffee. When somebody sweetens your coffee for you it can be truly difficult to get it the way you would like it to be. I don't like Starbucks at times because it can be super sweet and strong overwhelmingly sweet. Homemade lemonade is similar to this as well it can be super bitter or super sweet. My husband truly enjoyed the strawberry lemonade it had the perfect amount of sweetness with lots of flavor and was very refreshing. My iced coffee was a mocha and I tasted nothing but delicious chocolate flavor with a hint of coffee. The balance of coffee with the fresh chocolate flavor made this one of the best iced coffee's I've ever had, the chocolate tastes like it was handmade in the back. Delectable! The man who served us was super friendly and made sure we were happy with our order before leaving. TRUE EXCELLENCE IN SERVICE. Try this place out read more

The fudge was not fresh. The owner wasn't all that nice and the place had a depressing vibe. I'm not a huge fan. Would not recommend.

Simply rude and bad customer service. Not worth it basic chocolate and ice cream. Went in to purchase ice cream and chocolate for my little girls and she starts to hand us a half broken pretzel and we didn't touch and while still in her hand I ask her if my daughter can get a full unbroken one instead so she gives me a rude look and muffles under her breath 'well you should've asked for that' I replied how am I supposed to know you were going to give us a broken one when the display shows whole ones. The chocolate and ice cream was very basic and store bought. Nothing special. Not worth the high price and rude cashier/owner. read more
