They refused to give us money back for the ice cream because we didn't have the trash and because "they don't own it"

The employees are very helpful. For example, I was looking for a specific item for a DIY birthday centerpiece and they didn't have enough in stock, so without hesitation they called the Escondido store to check their inventory. If DIY isn't for you, don't worry they have plenty of items (Pinterest worthy) ready to complete your party. They have themed party items and traditional party items as well. I frequent this location because there is plenty of parking. They accept cash or card, but there is a fee ($.35) for card if your purchase is under $5.00. MexCandy offers a big selection of food/treat items found Mexico. It's convenient to get these authentic items locally. Tons of candies, chips, and cookies to choose from.

The Choco tacos were so delicious, a little difficult to eat, but delicious nonetheless! My little brother DEVOURED the frozen chocolate covered banana, he absolutely loved it! They also have a small selection of candies & some old school Knick knacks to look at! A ton of options of ice cream flavors, shakes, malts, sundaes, you name it! The place itself is extremely small, no AC, & gets CRAMPED inside to the point you're squishing your way through people just to get out. There is some seating outside, none inside. Parking can be tough, the parking lot is kind of confusing & make sure you're paying attention to the signs as lots of the spots are for boat permits only!

The shop also sells a variety of candies and snacks, which makes it a fun place for kids. Since it's located next to a bar, there is often live music on Friday and Saturday nights, creating a lively and enjoyable atmosphere. Parking can be a bit difficult, and getting in and out of the parking area feels quite tight. The shop is also filled with a lot of merchandise, so the space can feel a little cramped. Overall, it's a fun spot to grab some ice cream by the beach, especially if you enjoy a lively atmosphere and live music on the weekends.

Very disappointed with the lady who was currently working at the Sweet Factory store. Right away…read morewhen I walked in, she was glaring at me. I proceeded to tell her about my last purchase of the mini jaw breakers, which are supposed to have a somewhat chewy texture. I explained to her that the last time I bought them there, they were stale and before I could finish, she cut me off and was like "I can't give you samples!" So then I continued to question her, "so if I buy these candies and they are stale again, what happens?" And she responded very rudely, "I can't do anything about that," while the whole time she was giving me a dirty look and acting like I was making some crazy request. So even though I spent more than $40 for a big bag of candy and had to throw away literally half of the bag away (so throwing away $20), you mean to tell me you will allow me to make another blind purchase and I will just have to accept that they are stale?! No freaking way! You lost my business! Sweet Factory, you need to work on your employees' customer service. The lady was very rude and I didn't take the time to take her name because I was so disgusted with how she looked at me and dismissed me right away. She definitely could've handled that much more professionally and with a little more compassion for the customer. Sweet Factory, if you don't train up your staff to be more courteous, I'm sure you will lose more business! I will not be returning!

The cashier was very nice, offered assistants and was very welcoming. The prices are a bit steep, a regular mixed bag of candy is $13.96/Ib and if you want a mix of sugar free candy it's $15.56/lb. They also offer 50% off regular price pounds for holiday sweets. So if I'm craving sweets and am in the area, I make sure to buy the candy's I can rarely find anywhere else in regular stores or little candy toppers for when I make cupcakes! Also can't resist those chocolate covered gummy bears and sour anything, sooo goooood!

Absolutely fantastic chocolate. I love the selections and…read morethe cute packaging. The flavors are all so unique! They make for a great gift or souvenir. My favorite one is the pretzel toffee swirl. It's dark choco and it's not too sweet. The shop is beautifully decorated, and the way they arranged the chocolate makes it enticing to buy. They even have little baskets for you to put your chocolates in. There's also samples out on the desk, to try, before buying! Chocolates were reasonably priced. The little chocolate bars were about a dollar something each and I think that's way better for me in the long run, in terms of limiting my sugar...lol. The employee at the counter is very informative and welcoming. Would definitely recommend if you're ever in the area! Love the little red bags they give, they're so aesthetically pleasing to look at. Almost feels luxurious!
