    We stumbled upon this small but wonderful candy store while strolling the streets of Portland. This place has sweet confections of all kinds! There is lots of fudge, licorice, retro candy bars and treats, along with Needham's, and chocolate covered cherries and other candies on display from Haven's chocolates. Both the Needams and chocolate covered cherries were delectable. The staff was most pleasant and informative. A great place to visit and satisfy your sweet tooth.

    I enjoy good old times candy stores since they are becoming fewer in number these last few years. Old Port Candy has a nice selection of made in Maine, classic candies, fudge, and some bulk gummy and jelly bean items. Made a great stop to buy gifts for family and friends. Also, nothing beats a dark chocolate turtle from from the class case. Will definitely come back. Thanks for the sweets

    This stuff is fantastic fun.  A party in your mouth and everyone is invited!!

    My kids decided that the donuts we got nearby were not enough to satisfy their sweet tooth and dragged me into this place. I will be honest, I do not generally like sweets.... just doesn't do much for me. So, we go into this place and my kids are, well, like kids in a candy store ... grabbing all kinds of sweets. Meanwhile I am milling around the front waiting for them and then it happened... ZOTZ!!! Holy crap!!! Flashback to my childhood!!! I used to live for these damn things. If you have never tried these, you must immediately!! It seems like an innocuous little candy, but after awhile the sweet candy shell gives way to a sour, frothy explosion reminiscent of the science fair experiment you did in elementary school where you replicated a volcano with baking soda and vinegar. The sweet and sour foam in your mouth is fantastic. This place also has Pop Rocks which are another wonderful candy from my youth. I remember my friends and I mixing Pop Rocks and soda pop in our mouths because we heard that Mikey from the Life cereal commercials died trying the same stunt. Needless to say, we lived. Thank you to this store for taking me back to some childhood memories!!!

    Cute store...lots of retro candy. Mix and match candy can be a bit pricey, but it's good. I loved the dark chocolate covered malted milk balls. Check in and you'll get a piece of fudge when you make a purchase. I had the fluffer nutter. Very tasty but very, very sweet!

    If you happen to be exploring Old Port in Portland, you need to stop in this cute little candy store. They have all the usuals a candy store should have. Giant bins of candy you can scoop into bags yourself and are sold by the pound. There are jelly bean bins, and chocolate bins, and the usual popular candy bins. They have a shelf of novelty candies and gifty type of candies. The unique thing about this place is that they make their own fudge. They had slabs of fudge I'd never seen before. They had a peanut butter and marshmallow fudge, orange cream fudge, lemon meringue fudge, and of course the basics chocolate, maple, and peanut butter. I had to resist buying it all! I ended up purchasing some malted milk balls, of which they have quite a selection. They have raspberry, mint, peanut butter (inside and out), blueberry, white chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, expresso, and regular malted milk balls. I'd never seen so many variations of malted milk balls in my life. GO!

    IF you're looking for a great selection of gummy candy by the pound, this is your place. I especially love the spicy mangos. Delish!

    Went here yesterday and purchased 6 pieces of something. I cant remember the names of the items we…read moreordered because each of the items had 9 descriptive words but they were something like: 2 Raspberry truffle drops with smooth goulash and creme berry delight with butterfly wishes 2 Lemon tasty unicorn bites with ferry dust chocolate and a twist of magic yummy swirl 2 Caramel shiny wax nibbles I thought the first two were mid to low honestly. No fireworks, no dopamine, but ok. My wife hated her caramel things and described one as tasting like plastic. I ate the other and agree, it tasted like a salted plastic farts. My real issue was the price. Those six items, were $29. I know what inflation is but I also know what value is and if they were amazing, I would be fine with the price. They were not. They were somewhere between Ok and horrible so the $30 price was bonkers. I left the mall feeling like I had spent $30 on a claw machine and the only prize dropped was a dirty sock. Flavor and price aside, at least the staff were nice and professional for all 30 of the seconds I was there, which I appreciate because I lost $1 per second during my visit. Do not recommend. You can find better sweets elsewhere in the mall for less.

    If you are a fan of candy - you will want to browse around this store, which is what we did…read more They have so much variety. Throw back type candies, international candies, pre-packaged, scoop. It's a brightly lit store, and pretty well stocked. The prices were ok - I definitely feel like there are other dedicated candy stores with more competitive pricing. The person at the cash register seemed pleasant to the customers being served. The other staff members didn't seem to acknowledge anyone. They were very intense with heads down stocking shelves. It's worth a look.

    Cute place! I stopped in only because I happen to see it when I was stopping at a bakery nearby…read more I walked in and was met with two options, left or right. I went to the right and found honey for your health, honey from around the area, and different products that either had bees on it or had honey in it. I found this super neat and I spent some time looking at the different items before settling on some honey from the area. Someone did come and say hello to me while I was shopping around. But then promptly went to help someone else that had walked in. Once I made my selections I went to wait to check out, lots to look at. It seems they have some bee keeping items and also have beekeeping classes. So, all around they support bees and I love that. There was a comment made in the shop by one of the workers that made another customer feel less included, but I don't think it was meant to be offensive. But I did happen to notice it and felt well, there's some validity to what was said. Nonetheless, great place to get honey and very lovely staff.

    Love, love, love this place! Having a bee keeper in the family I have learned alot about the health…read morebenefits bees and their hives can give us. Honey is sold in small and large quantities but nothing gigantic. Honey is from all over the country and many local hive producers sell their products here. What better way to support small business in your area! My favorite is the "rubie red" honey, you hold it up to the light and it's a deep red and has a fantastic flavor..yum! The store sells everything honey and bee: honey, wax, propolis, mead, candies, gift sets, honey decantors, aprons and linens, and jewlery. This store also has classes for those interested in learning this art form. In the store they have a live hive you can look at from behind glass, facsinating! People may not like the high prices ($15-30 depending on the quantity and location honey is from) but it's to support our local artisans and the product is MUCH BETTER then any honey you will find in the grocery store. It's raw and unfiltered so all the healing properties are intact. I am a regular there, going weekly during the winter months to help keep my immune system strong.
