I have a big sweet tooth. And, passing by a candy store is pure anguish for me. So, I had to stop in and take a peek. Especially, when they said that they had the new Tik Tok Swedish fish candy trend. Service was okay. There were people behind the counter, but no one offered to help. The ambiance is bright, colorful, and cartoonish. There is candy from walk to ceiling. They also have stuffed toys, pj's, and a wide range of candies. If you like variety, then this is the place for you. This would be the perfect place to stop by before you go to the movie theatre. read more

Oh, they smell so good. Lots of chocolates and candies and sugar loaded treats. No, there's nothing in here for the keto diet other than smells. They're doing a great job of ensuring safety so that people aren't touching the same things. Gloves to handle the scoops. Easy. Fill your bags and then weigh at the scale. They also have some pre-packaged bars and boxes of candies. Perfect for filling pockets and then heading to the movie theater. Oops, did I say that?

It's Sugar store is every kid's dream, offering an abundance of sweets to choose from. While the toys may be a bit overpriced, they cater to candy lovers of any age. The staff seem a bit indifferent, but overall, it's a nice store with a wide selection of treats to indulge in. read more

This store is hilarious. So many goodies and random knick knacks to see. Too bad it's just very expensive! $12-15 for some novelty candy items. I was glad to see Harry Potter chocolate wands and frogs. Don't see them that often in store! The also sell candy in bulk. I was searching for a gift for a friend that was interesting and fun. Found Bob Ross Mints! Gumby toys, 'Dingle Berries,' a candy pickle and more. They also had a lot of Pusheen toys and candy. I just wish it all wasn't so expensive or else I'd buy everything! read more

Okay okay! How much can you say about a candy store? So much because I love candy! Lol I'm literally a kid in a candy store. Yummmm! From nerds to Swedish fish to boxes of starbursts!! I mean come on?? So delicious. In all honesty, this store is a cavity waiting to happen but I love it. I had to dock a star because it's candy which appeals to kids and I found some of their risky items kind of inappropriate such as their candy g strings, colon blow and d*ck in a box. I was mortified for the parents to be honest. The women who welcomed us to the store was awesome and so sweet! All puns intended. They had such cute Valentine's Day goodies all set up and ready to go. I will definitely be back when my sweet tooth is calling! read more

I've had a hankering for gummy sharks for several days , so I was really happy to see an It's Sugar at the Boardwalk when I arrived early for a nearby birthday party. The store was clean from what I could tell, and although I was the only one masked (delta variant, you know), the clientele seemed to be respectful in keeping the scoops and tongs clean. The store had the usual chocolate, gummy, sour gummy, and licorice sampler corrals and wide selection of packaged candies. The packages along the walls are enticing because of a notable huge or small size, nostalgic boxing or flavor (think Big League) or collectability (think Pez dispensers), or some combination of the three (think HUGE Pez dispenser). read more

More like "an adult in a candy store" This place has a lot more than candy, first of all. It'sugar and the front of the store is mildly misleading. If I was running "It'sugar"- I'd give it a tag line "& Adorable Gifts" So there's pokemon stuff There's pusheen stuffed toys There's old timey candy There's magnets with sassy sayings A bunch of good stocking stuffers *Make a note of that* I mean... there is a lot outside of candy in this store! And I had a wonderful time exploring it. Granted, I was a little bit sleep deprevated the day I went. But I was just enamored. My sleep deprevation purchases included: 1. The worldest tinest vaccum (I bought it for my car for those little crevices). And it's kind of adorable plugs into a usb ;) 2. An enamel pusheen pin that is pusheen dressed up as another animal ( and it's a mystery pin). Gave that to T, it was Pusheen dressed up as a raccoon. Yeah, it's freakin' adorable. And last but certainly not least, 3. A plush fortune cookie that has a pull out attached fortune that says "You will eat something yummy soon."(That's for me) Cashier was friendly, and was quick to come over from her side work when she saw me at the register. She struck up a conversation about the pusheen pins at the register and the plush toys they had, and totally sold me on one of the pins. Definitely will be back to peep in. read more

Super Cute - Lots of Pusheen items and a wide selection of candies. They have retro items also. The employee was very friendly and helpful. For example, they had Fake Sushi (done with gel candy) for $9.95. LARGE lollipop was $19.95. Pusheen Stuffed animals were $29.95. I felt somethings were reasonably priced, others not so much, but that's probably more of a brand/licensing thing. The store is brightly lit, clean and colorful. Fun for a little window shopping or to pick up some candy. They had Jelly Belly bins, but they are not a "bin" candy store. read more

It'Sugar is over-rated... I mean, okay, yes, they are very unique, but I feel that the use their uniqueness to jack up their prices. I looked at Large Hershey bars yesterday and It'Sugar was selling one bar for $5.99. I went to Giant after work and got two bars (two would have had the thickness of one It'Sugar bar) for $3! See what I mean? I've been to It's Sugar twice now, but have yet to purchase anything... read more

Man did they choose a great place to put this store! High school kids galore roaming Rio on a Friday and Saturday night! Pair that up with a sugar high from giant sized candy bars, and a dizzying array of candy - on top of their already giddy prepubescent teenage angst and you've got a match made in sugar heaven. They have everything pop culture from My Little Pony and Hello Kitty which appeals to my 6 yr old, to Ted bears and Duck Dynasty dolls, giant candy bars, edible underwear, candy body paint, and giant candy necklackes galore. I am NOT suggesting you bag a bag of candy and put it in your purse to take into the movie theatre....but I may or may not have done that myself. :p It's a fun little store to check out. If you are like me and can't commit to a single type of candy or flavor, opting instead to literally take one of everything, then this is the place to satisfy any sugar craving. read more

Omg talk about a big kid candy store! This place has everything I could dream of! Gummies, chocolates, taffy and cute Pusheen pillows! We came here one evening after walking around the lake. Loud poppy music at full volume and friendly staff. Candy is weighed and you pay by weight. That can get you into trouble! We spent $30 on candy lol! I had to stock up on gummies! I mean when buckets of all diff gummy candies are all together I need to! They had gummy LEGO bricks! Those were fun to try and build with. Also got some 3D pineapples and of course gummy bears! So many flavors of gummy bears and I think the frosted banana ones were my favorite. Just because they are unique and not your average flavor you get in the bags at the store. They have rock candy too and the fruit flavor tootsie rolls. I smacked my head after I saw the container of regular tootsie rolls because those are like crack for me! The store is clean and well laid out. I'd probably feel reassured knowing they go around and whip the tongs and candy bin lids too (not sure if they do or not) but just a suggestion if not. read more

Super expensive. I do not see why you would buy much of anything from here at the prices the candy is at. I was convinced by my friend to stop here and it's my fault for listening to them and spending 30-odd dollars on three small bags of candy. Don't be a dummy like me and let your dummy friends convince you to stop here. If money is of little or no object to you then the selection might be worth it to you. Otherwise I'd be careful about how much candy you put in your bag. read more

Good location. Right by street parking and a parking garage. The store itself is pretty big so there is a lot of different types of sweets. My problem was the flavors of candy. There were very few original flavors in this store. All the candy (even the ones you've had before) tasted too artificial and weird fruity. When you get twizzlers you expect that twizzler flavor but theirs was something completely different. It threw me off. read more

Today 02/21/19 @ 8:20pm as I walked inside this store location to get some gummies for my kids as I always come this location every so often. I never had any issues with anything, such as employees and else. I normally get the gummies bear because it's my son favorite, but one of my friend told me I should check the gummies coke out, she thinks that we might like it better. I sometimes go to DC location or Rockville location as well as this location I always often saw people try or eat those gummies every single time! (Never heard or see anyone has issues *yet maybe*) But today for the first time (Also the last time) I went in... grab a bag and start putting the plain gummies coke in when I also saw another type of gummies coke with sugar. So I was curious to know what's the flavor different since my friend didn't mention they had different flavors for that. While I try one of each as I saw another group of people with kids also trying something too. Suddenly, (Jennifer) the only employee that was working in there at the time. screamed her lung out across the store said " Hey, you can't do that, you can't grab things and eat like that" I was shock as I replied with a total embarrassment with all people look at me like I'm stealing something. I said "I'm sorry I didn't know that and no one ever told me before, but I'm really sorry if I know I wouldn't do that" as she said with anger towards me " I have 5 cameras in the store so don't do that you have to ask the manager if you need anything ! I'm not the arguing type of person so I decided to check out cuz it was so much embarrassing that I cry like a baby when I walked out because of the full attention from everyone inside the store looking at me as I walked out . So JENNIFER, if you're having a long day dealing with to many kids or people and you're tired I'm sorry, but hopefully you don't treat other customers like that! As I checked out(cuz I don't want her to think I just come in the store to eat 2 gummies and leave) I left her an extra $1 for the 2 pieces of gummies that I try without her permission with an apology for not knowing you not allowed to try or eat anything without their permission as I also told her that there's always another nicely normal way to tell people not do that and I'm sure Me or other people will understand. But for my horrible experience today, I felt so embarrassed, disrespectful, humiliated, disappointed, disgusted, emotions with a very Rude employee as Jennifer I won't take another step inside It's sugar store again! Overall experience, I hope that Jennifer is not store manager because if she is, then she set such a horrible rude manager role ever to employees. read more

Very unamused by the way I was treated today, from the moment I walked into the store tonight my friends and I were treated very poorly and it's very unfortunate because the store has a great variety of candies and fun things. As we walked in an employee standing by the door bumped into me, which I apologized for seeing as I was walking into the store and I must've been too busy looking at the assortment of items, proceeded to make eye contact, scoffed at me, and replied "whatever." A few minutes in, as we were filling our bags with candy I had gone to the same employee and asked her if I could put back certain candy that I had already pulled out and poured into the bag, she replied it was fine if I used the scoop, as I began to do so she yelled from across the store that I was not allowed to put candy back and that she would send me out of the store if I tried to do so; how embarrassed I was!! People throughout the store began to watch me as I proceeded to walk to the cash register and pay for whatever I had because in all honesty I just wanted to get out. As I was leaving, the same employee was waiting for us at the door. She again scoffed at me, turns to my friends and says "you two have a nice night" (there were only three of us there.) Needless to say, the experience was awful and it's unclear if I wish to return to this store. If I need candy, or fun gifts I suppose I'll have to take my business to another store where the employees are welcoming and helpful. 0 stars for hospitality, 4 stars for variety. read more

The store is bright, colorful, cheerful and overall very inviting! The young gal working was extremely outgoing and friendly. She allowed my two year old to sample pretty much whatever she wanted. (Don't worry, I used tongs and did it all, no gross sticky fingers went into the bins!) I love the concept of this shop, but the prices are outrageous and I likely won't rerun because of that. We paid $24 for 1.3lb of candy and jelly beans. 1.3lb of sugar may seem like a lot, but it isn't really. read more

Store was bright and colorful, fun music, and the girl working there was very nice. Most of the candy is a little pricey, but nothing you wouldn't expect from a candy store. Secret is using their souvenir boxes. You fill it up with as much candy as you want for $15. Both my and my fiancée got 1.5 lbs each and spent $30. $10/lb, not too shabby. Plus, can't forget the HUGE variety. read more

This place obviously sticks out due to all the pink, but my 3 year old just had to go into the candy shop. This place was so cool! Huge variety of candy and chocolates. Certain board games and a hilarious semi adult section in the back. They played great music while we were in there. The music was a mix of pop covering 3 decades. Really made me want to dance. Going into the store really made me feel like a kid again. Treat yourself! Whether you have a child or not just go in and you will also be taken back to a time when you were a kid in a candy shop. read more

Extremely colorful store that instantly catches your attention (also because they displayed pusheen plushies along the windows). They have lots of candy options and so many cute plushies! But beware, they're all so expensive. read more

We were walking to the frozen yogurt store when the two nine-year olds I was with spotted It'Sugar. Before I could think straight they were in this store with blasting music, useless junk, and way overpriced candy. Right away they grabbed some plastic bags and started putting candy into them. I finally told our granddaughter's guest that she needed to stop and I would pay for her bag at that point, but anything more was on her. When I took this bag with some candy corn and a bit of rock candy to the register, it rang up to almost $8.00. I should have walked away. I warned the girls that the candy was priced ridiculously, but my granddaughter took her money and bought some more. We ended up with a big candy kiss and two bags of sugar crud for almost $24.00. The candy in the bins was $12.96 per pound. Never again. If you are looking for Marilyn Monroe mugs or huge wine glasses, this might be your place, but otherwise no way. I blame myself for not insisting we get some yogurt and skipping this place, but now I know. read more

What a perfect name for a vintage candy store! Sugar, sugar, and more sugar. My sister and I got the box for $14.99 and happily took a trip down memory lane as we filled it with assorted candy from our childhood: waxed coke bottles, red shoestring licorice, jawbreakers, chocolate covered raisins, gummy bears and worms, etc. I will definitely be back! read more

We got an assortment of gummy candies as well as some plain rock candy. The rock candy was lovely and we were able to get more than enough for about $3. The gummy candies were nothing to be desired. While it was nice to be able to choose a few pieces of many varieties, the storage containers (combined with a very humid store) left the candy soggy (which is not even something I knew *could* happen to gummy candy.) Of the selections we made, most flavors were off. The Swedish Fish were distinctly the wrong flavor and gummy colas (both sour and non) had a dreadful aftertaste. Watermelon sour belts were edible, but Sour Patch Kids were not. The sour gummy worms (which we did not purchase) were so wet that the sour sugar had dissolved off them. We have previously patronized the Atlantic City location and had an exponentially better experience there (5/5 stars), so I'm not sure what the discrepancy is with this Rio location. read more

Best place ever!! Love the candy and the service. Jennifer is super friendly and nice! It's our go to candy store!

Good variety of candy and other sweats! Very bright store with very loud music. The bulk candy is a little pricy. I filled up a little less than half of a sandwich bag with gummy bears and it was 8$. read more

Great looking store. Everything is so bright and inviting. Except for the prices. Candy by the pound costs way too much. Pretty much anything in the store is more expensive than normal. Avoid if you're looking to buy candy in bulk. read more

I was here with my 4 children and they were looking at this stuffed animal of "Ted" from the movie Ted. So they pressed the button on its hand and it started cussing. So I quickly moved my children away, and we looked around and saw this candy called "Camal Balls," which was innapropriate for my youngest who is 5. They were also promoting beer and cigarettes. My children got there candy and they enjoyed it alot. The price was to expensive 1/2 a pound for $8.67. So my wallet was cleaned out! read more

Too expensive. I saw some boxed M&M's for $3 there and then at Wegmans it was $.99. I kid you not. Go check for yourself. If you all take the time to just calculate the prices they charge versus how much other stores like Target or even CVS charge, it's a huge difference. This company rips you off. As for the bulk candy in those bins, I saw a little kid constantly opening the lids, picking up the candy with his bare hands, and dropping it back in there. I will admit that the way this company markets itself is good and deceiving enough to leech money from its consumers (tourists and such), but I find it wrong. read more

Saw this store on my way to Lily Magillies, my co worker and I couldn't resist. The person working was pretty helpful and every time we asked for something he pointed it out for us. I asked if they had super sized Twizzlers, he said they had some and were 50% off. *GASP* how could I resist? It would be the perfect just-because-I-can gift for my fiancee. I also threw in a box of pretzel M & M's for myself. We will def be hitting this place up when we go to the moves and save us some cash. Also I have to throw it out there...they have more than just candy they have memorabilia stuff like TMNT cups (my son would love) and what not ALSO they have scented candles that smell like Hershey's chocolate or Jolly Rancher. I'm not a big flowery candle person but who doesn't love the smell of chocolate or cookies. *DROOL* I know I will be back here to get my nephew a gift for his birthday coming up...they offer gift certificates. What 13 year old wouldn't love a gift like that?! read more
