Instagram and Twitter also aren't updated, so I don't know how to get my Kettlepop fix. I caught them for the Civic Center holiday tree lighting ceremony on a Wednesday. I returned back to the farmer's market the following Wednesday and asked the workers and there was no Kettlepop stand at that market. (I've been going to that farmer's market for 2 years and haven't seen it, so it checks out.) But...so delicious and still relatively low calorie. I can gulp down the $20 large bag in a few days. Yeah it's $20 for a big bag now. Obviously order it with the bag open for some extra kettlecorn goodness.

The kettle corn place is usually closer to Market with the other hot food/lunch stands on Wednesday. On Friday, they're on the other side, closer to Hyde. I got the ginormous largest size for 10 dollars. The next size down is 8, but pretty much half the size. The choice was easy for me. I paid with credit card. I got a newly popped batch. The guy there filled the bag to the brim, and twisty-tied the end- you can hold it by that end (it does hold up well) and close the bag with twisty tie later. Honestly it did take a lot of popcorn eating to get it down to a point where I could close the bag, which is great. They also have caramel corn and some other selection popped within the last day, but I've only seen the kettle corn fresh. This kettle corn is super tasty and so fresh, and definitely great to share and snack on.

Anytime I go in person, I purchase a few pieces and I just eat too much of the fudge but it is difficult to say no to the candy store staff.

Z Cioccolato continues to be one of my absolute favorite spots in San Francisco. The fudge alone is…read moreworth the visit -- insanely rich, smooth, and packed with flavor -- but what really sets this place apart is how creative and unique those flavors are. You can tell there's real thought and craftsmanship behind everything they make. I overheard that they've created over 200 flavors of fudge - all my grandma made was chocolate walnut! Beyond the product itself, the shop is always spotless, well-organized, and inviting. It feels intentional and cared for, which makes the experience that much better. I've been coming here for years, and honestly, it's impressive how the quality and overall experience have only gotten better over time rather than slipping. The staff is consistently friendly, welcoming, and happy to help -- whether you're sampling (you can sample as much as you want!), asking questions, or just browsing. You never feel rushed, and it's clear they genuinely care about what they're selling and the people walking through the door. If you're looking for exceptional fudge, thoughtful flavors you won't find everywhere else, and a shop that clearly takes pride in what it does, Z Cioccolato is a must. A true SF gem that keeps raising the (candy) bar.

Love this local gem…read more I'm slowly replacing all my seasonings with their products (with the exception of some Persian food seasonings like sumac which I still get from Sadaf). Friendly and helpful people working here and a nice bottle recycling program. If you are anywhere near 24th St. enjoy cooking, I do recommend stopping by. Both their standard seasonings and special blends have been great.

From the thoughtfully crafted small batch spices to the warm, welcoming feel of the space, you can tell how much care goes into everything they do. One of the owners I've met always remembers me, which instantly makes each visit feel personal and genuine. I also love that they offer two different spice sizes, which makes it easy to try new blends without committing to a large jar. Over the holidays, their spices became my go to gifts and they were a huge hit. Another favorite is their San Francisco series, a collection of curated blends inspired by nine of the city's most iconic neighborhoods. They also create and share recipe cards for many of their blends, which makes it easy and fun to actually use them at home. Everyone I've interacted with has been friendly and knowledgeable, and it's clear the people behind this shop truly love what they do. This is exactly the kind of local business I enjoy supporting and recommending.

I would go to corner candy store for each school to buy my favorite candies through my formative years. Candies were also part of celebrations in the Mission involving a piñata .As an adult you will see me at See's when I get a sweet tooth craving. There is a place which sells chocolate from Switzerland and the Philippines and if you are sour because it's Monday or just everyday of the week in SF you should visit a place called Giddy. On Spring stroll in my old school stomping grounds I walked on Noe street and landed on Market at Giddy. Inside it's a candy store with lots of variety of gummies and licorice along with some international chocolate from the Ecuador and the Philippines. What you will also find a lot of varieties of candies which are very sour like some in SF. You will find lots of sour fizzy chewy cherries along sour mango belts. You will also find the classic sour cherry balls and berry sour foamy and sour strawberry and lemon butterflies along with a favorite from Sweden known as Bubs which is a sour strawberry and lemons skull gummy. Giddy is a good place to get sweet or sour. Sour is how you "felt" on a Monday when the chocolate in your pocket on a hot day "melt" and the best way in the past how it was "dealt" is go grab for a sour "gummy cherry belt" On Market street there lots of places for foods I have "eaten"some want on a cheat day a place for some "cheatin" at a place with chocolate from Ecuador , Philippines and Switzerland which is a bit "sweeten" and some like it sour like the strawberry and lemon skulls called Bubs which are from "Sweden"

Location is on Shattuck near the Downtown Berkeley BART station as well as several AC Transit bus stops. There are also a handful metered parking spots out front. Inside is on the smaller side with a couple of seats available but very cutesy and inviting nonetheless. My go-to favorites from their menu are the strawberry funnel cake and cheesecake caramel apples. The mini size of the strawberry funnel cake ($8.50) is the perfect serving size for one. The funnel cake itself is crispy and fried to perfection, and the strawberries add a lovely freshness. The homemade whipped cream they pile on top is miles above canned whipped cream. Personally, I like to also add fruity pebbles as an extra topping for a nice crunch! The cheesecake caramel apples ($10.50) are dipped in a layer of caramel, then another layer of cheesecake flavored coating, and finished off with a graham cracker-like crumb coating. They are tart yet decadent, making them absolutely addictive. I appreciate too how they include an option for having the apple be cut up into slices when ordering. One day I'll try the strawberry cheesecake apple :) I do have to say though that service is pretty nonexistent here, but honestly I don't really mind especially as an introvert lol.

You can order their products online, but browsing is so much fun. We love their food and condiments, and also have our fair share of clothing and housewares. Our favorite snack is the mushroom jerky. It is delicious, and perfect for munching on while you're walking around or watching the boats in the bay. We've also sampled their truffle oil and truffle salt. I like that you can buy small quantities if you simply want to experiment or try something new. The staff are always welcoming of questions and willing to share tips on how they've used the products.

I can't give The Candy Store anything less than 5 stars due to their incredible candy selection…read more I think they carried all the heavy hitters of Swedish candy in every flavor imaginable. We got so many different varieties of candy and everything was great. Only annoying part is they have to scoop it for you. Which I get in a hygienic practice, but extremely inconvenient to get a large selection and try many different flavors. You're subject to the scoop they do and don't get to really individualize your bag.

Out of all the Swedish candy shops in the city, this one does feel the most expensive but it's close and quality is good. Minus one star bc the owner / workers never seem actually happy that you're there. Even if you're the only one in the shop, I always feel super rushed, they're a bit pushy: "what else? Is that all? Okay? Anything else?" Half the fun is just browsing everything and the more I browse, the more I'll likely buy which means more money for them!

I love butter cream frosting but never had strawberry buttercream so I was skeptical! But yes it was really good as well!! The combination of both really satisfied my sweet tooth. I totally recommend and I also would love to visit the other location, ferry building. More cupcakes to feast! (I love the pink bag)

Wow I am impressed with their macaroons and the old fashion cupcake…read more The macaroons are different from others that I tried. They are made with coarsely ground almonds with the skins intact. They do not add any food coloring or processed flavorings, so they are distinctly rustic and natural. It is not sticky, gooey or has too much sugar stuck on them. I like the hazelnut flavor. The cupcakes are decorated nicely. Their Italian Meringue Cupcake is a rich Double-Chocolate cake with a light and fluffy marshmallow-like texture makes me think of a hostess cupcake. I had two yellow cream cheese frosting gingerbread cupcakes, raspberry chocolate and strawberry vanilla cupcake. I am happy with the selection I received which is a great way to try and determine if this bakery knows how to make a good cupcake. I enjoyed their carrot cake cupcake. All cupcakes were nice and moist, the frosting is always the key to a good cupcake. Thank you and I hope to stop by again and try a cake.
