    House-made nonpareils = sprinkle lovers dream! Nice for a small afternoon treat :)
    Adrienne S.

    Josh Early Candies (JEC) has a diverse array of candy as well as some house-made confections. This place serves old-fashioned american candies and confections - if this is your expectation upon entering, you're going to have a good time. I really like the candy they've sourced from other companies. They've clearly spent some time determining the best of the best in terms of quality and selection. JEC carries my all-time favorite: Albanese (the World's Best Candy) gummi bears - shout out the pink grapefruit flavor! I've shared the pink grapefruit gummi bears with friends all over the US, even people who "hate" grapefruit enjoy these, seriously a must try. Other candies I've tried and can vouch for: -Peanut brittle. It's the kind of peanut brittle that has a little baking soda, so the candy is never chewy and has that perfect snap. It also has a sprinkle of salt to really meld the flavors. -Peanut butter straws. The "straws" are thin layers of (possibly honey) candy encasing thin alternating layers of candy and smooth to gritty peanut butter - similar to a chick-o-stick, but more peanut butter. JEC also sells the straws dipped in their chocolate for an extra special treat. Just say yes! -Mint/milk/dark chocolate nonpareils. They're all good. The perfect size for a little treat. The milk chocolate is very rich. Things I'm keeping an eye on: -The licorice. Great price, but never seem to pick up a bag. -Chocolate straws, maybe even chocolate dipped. While most of my favorites aren't made in-house, I consider the prices fair for what I'm getting. I've sampled several of the assorted chocolates, it's not really my thing, but I find this to be true at other confectionaries as well.

    Grandpa Joe's Candy Shop is a small chain of specialty candy and confectionary stores that opened…read morein Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 2012. It was founded by Christopher Beers. The name of the chain is a reference to Grandpa Joe from Roald Dahl's 1964 children's book "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". After the success of the original 900-square-foot store in Pittsburgh, other locations began to pop up in the surrounding areas. Each one is stocked with over 250 candy bar varieties, nostalgic candies, 250 flavors of old-fashioned glass-bottled sodas, and even novelty gifts. As of this writing, Grandpa Joe's has 21 locations spread out over five states (mainly Pennsylvania and Ohio). My family and I visited the Grandpa Joe's location in Bethlehem (opened October 2019) this past summer while we were visiting relatives in the area. We came across the storefront as we were exploring Main Street. We really liked the name of the shop as well as all of the decor. The interior was loaded with every conceivable candy variety that you could think of: chocolate bars, jelly beans, gummies, hard candies, gum, fudge, lollipops, taffy, etc. Many of the candies were ones that I haven't seen, or even thought about, in many years. They also had quite a few novelty and gag gifts. My wife and I let our sons pick out a few chocolate candies to take back home. What really impressed me was the large selection of old-fashioned sodas that were in stock. One of my favorite soda brands is "Sioux City", though I often have trouble finding them. Grandpa Joe's had the largest selection of Sioux City sodas that I've ever seen under one roof. I made myself a mixed six-pack to take home. Whether you're looking for your favorite candy bar, hard candies to make "goodie bags", a funny gag gift, or a nostalgic candy that you haven't seen since your childhood, then you need to make a trip to Granda Joe's!

    Seasons is a gourmet olive oil and vinegar brand and small chain of shops and tasting rooms that…read moreopened in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 2010. It was founded by husband and wife Tim Balshi and Soraya Aguilar. The couple first began importing olive oil to the United States in 1999, driving between Maine and Virginia in their old Chevrolet. Aguilar grew up on her family's third-generation olive farm in Jaen, Spain. Jaen is located in a region called Andalusia, which produces 80% of Spain's olive oil. The couple decided to found their own brand, Seasons, in 2009. Their mission was to provide customers with healthy, plant-based, all-natural, everyday luxury olive oils and vinegars that empower home cooks and elevate every type of cuisine. Their first brick & mortar storefront and taproom opened in Bethlehem the following year. Following the success of the original location, additional taprooms opened in Lancaster as well as Anapolis (MD). Additional storefronts (without the taproom element) also opened in Hershey, Wayne, and Easton. My family and I visited Seasons Bethlehem over the summer while we were visiting relatives in the area. We were exploring Main Street in Downtown Bethlehem and happened to walk by the storefront. My wife and I love exploring shops that sell gourmet oils and vinegars, so we decided to stop in. They had so many different types of oils and vinegars to try out. In addition to oils and vinegars, they also sell gourmet olives, pastas, syrups, honey, and various types of crackers. We had trouble deciding what to purchase, but finally chose to bring home some Italian Fig Balsamic Vinegar as well as some Honey Hot Sauce. We're so happy to have accidentally discovered Seasons and we hope to return on our next visit to Bethlehem!

    I ordered 7 bottles of oil and vinegar from Seasons. I love them all. They were very well packed…read moreand arrived undamaged. Very happy with the purchase and definitely will order more.
