My spouse wanted to know what I wanted to do for my birthday and Baker's Candies has been on my…read morelocal "bucket list" for a while so off we went. It's about a 30 minute drive from Omaha and we had no problem finding it. My first impression was that it was way bigger than I expected and totally worth the trip!! I regularly buy Baker's chocolates at the grocery store but there was so much more selection and the prices were cheaper. For example, the bag of Patriotic Mix was $12.95 while it's usually $16.99 at Hy-Vee for the same thing. Besides the chocolates they are known for, they also had a large selection of saltwater taffy, fudge, and a ton of other candies, some I haven't seen since childhood. In addition to candy, they also sold a lot of locally made food stuffs like Rotella's bread, Mi Mama tortillas, Valentino's, Dorothy lynch, salsas, dips, jams, jerky, spaghetti sauce, you name it. They even had t-shirts, hats, and a refrigerated section for various meats. It was really cute inside and a lot of places for photo opportunities. There was a bench inside and a covered patio outside with a big parking lot. The staff were quick, efficient, and friendly. Glad I finally got to visit this place and I will be back again when my sweet tooth feels the need. :)

We didn't buy anything, but if you have a sweet tooth or like candy, you'll find it here…read more Pretty interesting and eclectic place and if you had nothing to do, you could spend a lot of time here. Pretty much any type of candy you want from newer current stuff to random weird candy and stuff that we grew up eating. They also have a section with vinyl records, pinball machines, toys, displays, drinks, etc. lots of photo opportunities inside and outside the place. Seems like one of the places you should check out if you're in Omaha or downtown.

The most recent time I stopped in, I got the mud ball, creme bon bon, and chocolate caramel peanut cluster. They were all amazing, but I think the bon bon was my favorite (and my husband's), followed closely by the caramel peanut cluster. I couldn't decide which to get, so I'm looking forward to stopping in and trying more things. There's also packaged candy choices and fudge if those are your things. The service was quick, friendly, and the only thingy that took a bit of time was waiting for the people in front of us to decide what they wanted.

There are the standard candies, which are priced better than at a regular store, but they also have tons of specialty flavors that you won't find anywhere else. There's always new things to try, be it flavored sweet popcorn, specialty Pop Tarts, candies or chocolates, and specialty sodas. And the price of the specialty items are also less than you would pay at a regular store, plus you're supporting a local business instead of a chain, so it's a win-win.

I do like to check them out every now and then for unique choices - I have found some fun red vines flavors here - not this time but I did get some nice flavors of popcorn to try from a local business.

Ran some errands and figured we'd swing by and grab some items to make sushi at home for a date night. Was I pleasantly surprised when I walked in? 100000% yes! Quite honestly I didn't have any expectations as I've got nothing to compare it to yet, but between the well laid out aisles, ZERO odor (they've got some sea food, spices, teas.. chill folks) greeting you, PLENTY of product, excellent prices you have to make it at least once! Now I didn't go for the whole frozen octopus, or the mochi for dessert, but I did toss in a few 20% proof (woo) Sake that I'm quite excited about (the sweet gal made sure I knew it'll be cloudy, so appreciated that!). Do I have children chop sticks - you know, with the cute little design or animal, perfectly spacing the "how" to use - 100000% I do! Those little rice candies?

You know what's better than being a kid in a candy store? Being an adult in a candy store! Because you have money . Had a nice conversation with staff, about candy. I like candy! I bought some chamoy gummy bears. Then I decided to check out the other side, which is bursting with color, too. Mainly things that used to be referred to as "tobacco accessories". And also socks, lots and lots of novelty socks, like a bigger selection than maybe I've ever seen. I don't know if there is a connection between these items. Anyway, I had already spent my money on gummy bears, so maybe I'll look into the accessories more next time.

So creative and glad there is a place like this in the Omaha area…read more We got the assortment box to give as gifts and to keep a few for ourselves but were severely disappointed in the fact that all they do is highlight which flavors are in the box on a sheet of paper...we had 10 bags and only 9 were highlighted so we had to try and play a guessing game to figure it all out. When we first walked in we asked about any deals with the bags cause we would purchase more and were told "we keep the prices as low as we can because we use real name brand candies and cookies" which was a weird response but also irrelevant to the question. And besides that some of it is just food coloring as seen in the pics. My biggest complaint is the fact that they don't label the bags??? This doesn't make any sense to me, write it in sharpie if you don't want to print the personalized bags but honestly thank goodness I am not gifting to people with food allergies because you can play a dangerous game without having labels and ingredients. The popcorn itself is great and maybe just chalk it up to newer management so I don't want to discredit too much, but it's a nice local and creative gift to give especially around holidays! Check it out. But take a sharpie and label what you get for sure.

I ALWAYS get Beetle Juice; always. And it never disappoints! Granny Smith apple flavored corn with drizzle of caramel... also picked up Dumb and Dumber, the classic peanut butter and jelly combo. Also, SO good! The only thing I wish they'd perhaps change, is labeling their bags which flavors they are. I honestly forgot the other bag flavor that we snagged ‍ BUT... they'll go fast so does it *really* matter in the long run? NOPE!
