On the way to a friend's birthday party, (Apr 2026), inspiration struck: Bring classic Rheb's…read moreCandies' handmade chocolates! Hand-making chocolates since 1917, Rheb's is a 4th-generation family business, hidden on Bloomfield since 1950. It's just north of US-1 Wilkens Ave near Caton Ave, in a tiny little stand-alone building with a red tiled roof, a stone-like facade, and a hand-written red neon sign above the white corner-facing door. You'll walk in facing an L-shaped candy counter, with some Maryland-themed products and some pre-packaged treats along the other walls. Take a number by the door if there's a line. We waltzed right up to the counter at noon on a weekday :-) You can buy by-the-piece, or by-the-pound in various size boxes, pre-selected or chosen one or two at a time. We got a boxed half-pound for our friend, one of these, a few of those, plus a handful for ourselves :-), and some Maryland merch. They have so many varieties! We got milk-chocolate, dark-chocolate, white-chocolate. Nut clusters and turtles, chocolate-covered cherries, caramels, creams and buttercreams and truffles, and one "Birthday Cake" vanilla cream with multi-color candy sprinkles over a soft milk-chocolate shell. Each lovingly created original was fresh and more-than-delicious. Now, when you choose your own, you pay by weight, and our box was a little over the pre-made-half-pound $15.60. I promise you, it was worth every penny. (Remember pennies?) Our friend loved her wrapped birthday-box of Rheb's so much that she didnt share a one! She said she finished the half-pound in two days!!! I call that self-control. Our handful of singly selected candies barely made it to our home :-) You pay at the counter where you order. Rheb's Candies is open 9am-4:45pm, closed on Sundays, in the little building on Bloomfield that was originally half of the garage to their home! You can find a classic portrait photo of Louis and Esther Rheb to the left of the candy counter. There's only a handful of street parking spaces out front, but there's a little more about a block away in the neighborhood. Since Aug 2025, they have a storefront in Mt . Airy, too! Road trip!!! Oh, and they ship! But be careful about the temperature en route.

Rheb's has always my go-to spot for chocolates! I don't care the season: spring, summer, fall, or…read morewinter, there is always a time for chocolate! The service is always great. Pleasant ladies in their smocks taking orders. The ambiance fluctuates. During late spring and summer, it's usually pretty calm and you can walk in, grab a number, and be out with your box of goodies in a matter of minutes. During the fall and especially winter around the holidays, it can be hectic, chaotic, and crowded with folks spilling out of the door and having to endure long wait times, but, I have to say, it's worth it! The chocolates (you can choose from milk, dark,or white for some items) are fresh and made with quality ingredients that keeps folks coming year after year, including me! All in all, a family owned shop that has been around for years that produces some of the best chocolate candies in the Baltimore area. A must visit for anyone.

(Candy cigarettes, zots, and more!) There are candies, jelly belly beans, flavored cotton candy, unique popcorns, beef jerky, and toy candy items. It's a great place to find a unique gift item. Today we took advantage of their build an Easter basket deal. If you bought $25 worth of items, they put them in a basket for free. I can't wait to go back!

We drove the wrong way down the one way parking area due to lack of signage. The shop is quaint, empty. Clean. I got an orange Creamsicle milkshake that tasted of nothing. Probably my fault for picking such a mild ice cream flavor. Jeremy, who did not get stuck with a needle that day, gorged himself on nachos that had too much sour cream (he doesn't even like sour cream so I don't know why he didn't complain more), some sort of blue cookie milkshake, and a funnel cake. Not many other customers while we were there. It was a fine experience.
