    Out front on Broadway Ave.
    Brendon N.

    What a cute little spot! Randomly walked in to make change for a large bill. I've been to Broadway Ave in Burlingame many times, but have never been to or really noticed this place. I walked in to be slightly overwhelmed (in a good way) with colors, candy, and toys! When you first step in, there is a large wall of pay-by-the-pound candy, including 40+ flavors of Jelly Belly! There are also bins of other candies, including sour belts, gummies, and chocolate! There are some rules when it comes to getting the candy (ask for a bag, sanitize), so make sure to read the signs. It does seem some of the bulk candy has been there for a while, which was apparent with varying colors/textures of the Jelly Bellys. In addition to candy, there are a ton of games! They have a huge selection of puzzles up front, going all the way to 3,000+ pieces! They also have plush stuffed animals and various other toys and board games. There is a huge wall with LEGO sets, and other forms of treats (candy necklaces, giant lollipops, Jelly Belly dispenser, etc). This is a local/family owned place that has been around for almost 30 years!! We had a nice chat with the owner, John, who runs the store with his wife. They have a ton of certificates and awards on the wall behind the register! Overall, this is a great locally owned spot that is worth the trip! The selection of treats and games are fun to look at, and you'll surely find something that brings back some childhood memories. As mentioned, I went in to break a large bill, and ended up with a big bag of candy and a nice conversation with John. Looking forward to coming back next time I'm in the area! IG: @bbnem.food

    I have a new friend, Jeero (an UglyDoll). He comes from Nuts for Candy. I found out that he loves cupcakes, so I had to take him home with me. He wanted to tell you a little bit about his store. From Jeero: "My friends and I have so much fun here. First, I have so many friends to play with - not just the giant, regular (like me) and baby UglyDolls but also anything you can think of: owls, puppies, giraffes, meerkats and even wildebeests. We eat ice cream all day and sometimes make ice cream floats if we're feeling less lazy. There are a lot of us but there's also a lot of candy so everyone's really happy. We all love ice cream and candy." Nuts for Candy carries over 500 types of candy. The store is crammed full of candy and toys, including life size animals (called museum pieces) and lots of UglyDolls. The plush owls are adorable and so too are the plush tree trunks and logs you can buy for your plush pets. This could be the largest collection of plush animals in San Mateo County. The candy selection is impressive. I finally found pomegranate Jelly Bellies here and they sell JBs by individual flavor. They also carry imported licorice (from England, Holland, etc.), gummy candies, and old fashioned candy bars like Zagnut and Sky Bar. I also spotted boxes of Fralinger's candies (known for salt water taffy and other boardwalk candies), candy cigarettes, and Wacky Packages. They had not just some of the Jelly Belly Sports Beans but all four flavors, Bernie Botts and the new soda pop JBs that come in soda bottle packaging. At $1.89 for a quarter lb, the prices are the best I've seen. If they don't have something you want, ask the proprietor. He knows his candy and his family has been in business in Burlingame for 27 years. They carry Dreyer's ice cream (lots of flavors). They also carry greeting cards. Candy, toys and ice cream - what more can you ask for?

    This is the silly gift I ended up making with some candy I found at their store.

    See all

    An absolutely wonderful experience at Del' Oliva last weekend!

We ended up going to Burlingame that same day so I could try it out for myself. Metered street parking at and located in downtown Burlingame, Del' Oliva is quaint and offers gourmet olive oils and vinegars. Their products are fresh and their customer service is top tier. Immediately welcomed upon entering by the owners and shared with us a few samples and combinations of extra virgin olive oils and balsamic vinegars on tap. You can taste the fruits in their vinegars. Fantastic variations that would elevate your dishes. I picked up a lime infused olive oil and pear white balsamic vinegar. Overall, would recommend checking out for all foodies and home cooks!

But if you're looking for a wide variety of delicious and fresh olive oils and balsamic vinegars that should fit almost all your needs, Eddie is your go-to guy. Super friendly, not at all pushy, and will throw out a lot of educational tidbits about his offerings and how they're sourced, as well as give you samples so you can make your own informed decisions. Pricing is reasonable for the quality of goods you're getting, especially since you shouldn't be plowing through things like the olive oil unless you're cooking with this more premium stuff.
